Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 — Gold / XAUUSD focus
Version: 1.00
What it is
XAU Structure Pullback H1 is an Expert Advisor for gold on the H1 chart. Architecture is simple and deliberate:
-
Impulse — a clear directional displacement is identified on structure.
-
Pullback band — price retraces into a mapped structure participation band.
-
Continue — the system joins the continuing direction with selectable exit style.
Built for structured automated participation — not grid, not martingale. Evaluate on demo with your broker's spreads and your own risk profile.
This product is a technical structure system. Exact band geometry and entry equations remain internal product design and are not published here.
