Strataryn Gold Regime Portfolio
- Experts
- Version: 1.4
- Updated: 26 August 2026
- Activations: 10
Strataryn Gold Regime Portfolio is a multi-strategy Expert Advisor developed specifically for Gold trading, with XAUUSD / GOLD on the H1 timeframe as its intended and historically tested configuration.
The EA combines six trading strategy components inside one portfolio engine and adds a separate risk-control layer for money management, account equity protection, operating-status monitoring and setup warnings.
STRATARYN — Transparent by Design.
We do not present historical performance as a promise of future profits. We openly explain how the system was developed, where its parameters were selected, what its limitations are, and which risk-control mechanisms were added because of those limitations.
Live Forward Monitoring — Real Account
Real-account forward monitoring of XAU Regime Portfolio was started on 26 August 2026, after the portfolio structure and strategy parameters had been finalized.
The monitored real account started with 10,000 USD.
This deliberately matches the 10,000 USD initial deposit used in the MetaTrader 5 historical backtest shown on this product page, making the historical test and subsequent real-account performance easier to compare.
The official monitoring configuration uses:
- Instrument: XAUUSD
- Timeframe: H1
- Initial account balance: 10,000 USD
- Money management: Fixed Lot 0.10
- Account Equity Protection: 15%
The purpose of this monitoring is to show what happens after the development and optimization period rather than presenting only a historical equity curve.
Although the Market version includes additional Balance Scaling and Risk % money-management modes, the official monitoring account intentionally remains on Fixed Lot 0.10 to preserve comparability with the historical test shown on this page.
The monitoring is new and statistics are currently accumulating. A short live history should not be interpreted as proof of future profitability.
How the System Was Developed
The current portfolio was created through strategy generation, selection and optimization on XAUUSD H1 during the 2025-2026 Gold market environment.
This is important information.
The historical equity curve shown in the screenshots should not be interpreted as proof that the same portfolio will perform equally well in every historical or future market regime.
The displayed result represents the performance of a portfolio whose components were selected for the development environment shown on this product page.
Market conditions change. Volatility changes. Liquidity changes. Execution conditions change. Price structure changes.
A strategy that performs well in one environment can behave differently when market conditions change.
We believe this limitation should be disclosed rather than hidden.
Historical Test Shown in the Screenshots
The main historical performance example presented on this product page was tested in MetaTrader 5 using the following conditions:
- Symbol: XAUUSD
- Timeframe: H1
- Initial deposit: 10,000 USD
- Modeling: Every tick based on real ticks
- Money management: Fixed Lot
- Lot size: 0.10
- Test period: 2025.01.02 - 2026.08.18
The displayed equity curve was produced using Fixed Lot 0.10 rather than progressive lot multiplication.
No martingale-style lot escalation was used to create the presented historical result.
The purpose of showing a fixed-lot test is to make the underlying historical behavior of the portfolio easier to evaluate.
The additional Balance Scaling and Risk % money-management modes were added as user-selectable risk-management options. They were not used to produce the historical performance screenshots shown on this page.
Backtest and Forward Monitoring
The historical test and the real-account monitoring serve different purposes.
Historical test: shows how the selected portfolio performed during the market environment used for strategy development and selection.
Real-account forward monitoring: shows how the finalized portfolio behaves after the development period under real broker conditions.
Both use a 10,000 USD starting account size and Fixed Lot 0.10 to make comparison easier to understand.
Differences between historical and live results are expected because real trading includes broker-specific spreads, commissions, swaps, slippage, execution and changing market conditions.
Important Limitation
XAU Regime Portfolio should not be interpreted as an all-market or all-regime trading system.
Testing outside the main development environment produced materially weaker results.
This is exactly why additional risk-control and warning mechanisms were added rather than assuming that historical optimization will continue to perform in the same way indefinitely.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Changes in volatility, liquidity, spreads, commissions, execution conditions and market structure can materially affect trading performance.
Money Management
XAU Regime Portfolio provides three selectable money-management modes.
1. Fixed Lot
The user directly selects the lot size used by each strategy.
The default value is 0.10 lot.
Fixed Lot 0.10 is the position-sizing mode used in the historical MetaTrader 5 backtest shown on this product page and in the official real-account forward monitoring.
For example, a user may select 0.01, 0.05 or 0.10 lot, subject to the broker's minimum trading volume and lot step.
2. Balance Scaling
Position size can automatically scale with the current account balance.
The user defines:
- Balance unit in account currency.
- Lot size per balance unit.
Example:
0.01 lot per 1,000 USD
- 1,000 USD balance = approximately 0.01 lot.
- 5,000 USD balance = approximately 0.05 lot.
- 10,000 USD balance = approximately 0.10 lot.
- 20,000 USD balance = approximately 0.20 lot.
Because this mode uses the current account balance, position size may increase as the account grows and decrease after losses.
This creates a compounding effect and can materially increase both potential returns and potential drawdowns compared with Fixed Lot trading.
3. Risk % per Strategy Trade
The EA can calculate position size using a selected percentage of current account equity and the actual Stop Loss distance of the strategy generating the trade.
Because the six strategies use different Stop Loss distances, the resulting lot sizes may differ significantly between strategies.
Several strategy components use Stop Loss distances that are considerably smaller than their corresponding Take Profit distances. Some protective stops can therefore be relatively close to the entry price.
In Risk % mode, a shorter Stop Loss distance requires a larger position size to represent the same percentage risk.
For this reason, we recommend using no more than 0.50% risk per individual strategy trade.
Higher values may result in comparatively large position sizes when a strategy uses a short Stop Loss distance.
The selected percentage applies to one individual strategy trade, not to the total portfolio.
If several of the six strategies hold positions simultaneously, the combined theoretical portfolio risk can therefore be higher than the selected percentage.
For example, six simultaneous positions each calculated at 0.50% risk could represent substantially more total portfolio exposure than a single 0.50% trade.
Actual realized loss can also differ from the calculated risk because of slippage, price gaps, commissions, execution conditions and broker specifications.
Risk % mode should therefore be used conservatively. For most users, 0.50% or less per strategy trade is the recommended range.
Account Equity Protection
One of the main safety features of XAU Regime Portfolio is the separate Account Equity Protection layer.
The default maximum account equity drawdown threshold is:
15% from peak account equity.
The user can change this value or disable the protection if required.
When the configured protection level is reached, the EA can:
- Close positions belonging to the portfolio.
- Stop the six strategy engines from opening new positions.
- Display the protection state directly on the dashboard.
- Remember the emergency-stop state after a terminal restart.
The dashboard clearly indicates when protection is armed and when the emergency protection state has been triggered.
This mechanism is an additional risk-control layer. It does not guarantee that losses cannot exceed the configured percentage. Price gaps, abnormal execution, slippage and extreme market conditions can result in a larger realized loss.
What Happens After a Protection Stop?
After the drawdown limit is triggered, trading remains suspended instead of automatically restarting.
The dashboard displays:
PROTECTION STOP
TRADING SUSPENDED
Review risk before reset
This behavior is intentional.
A significant drawdown should require a conscious decision before automated trading resumes.
Before restarting, the user should review:
- Current market conditions.
- Money-management mode.
- Position sizing.
- Recent strategy behavior.
- Account risk tolerance.
If appropriate, exposure should be reduced before trading is resumed.
To resume trading, set:
Reset protection stop now = TRUE
This should be used only once to clear the protection state.
After the reset, the parameter should be returned to:
FALSE
If protection-state persistence is enabled, restarting MetaTrader does not automatically bypass a triggered Protection Stop.
After a deliberate reset, the protection mechanism starts monitoring drawdown from the new account equity reference and subsequent equity peaks.
Intended Configuration
The portfolio was developed, selected and historically tested primarily for:
XAUUSD / GOLD — H1
The EA remains technically available on other instruments and timeframes for MQL5 Market compatibility, but the dashboard provides clear warnings when the current setup differs from the intended configuration.
Symbol Compatibility Warning
If the EA is attached to an instrument other than XAUUSD / GOLD, the dashboard displays:
SYMBOL WARNING
Trading remains technically available, but XAUUSD / GOLD is the recommended and historically tested instrument.
Parameters developed for Gold should not be assumed to provide comparable results on currencies, indices, cryptocurrencies or other instruments.
Timeframe Compatibility Warning
The portfolio was developed and optimized specifically for the H1 timeframe.
If the EA is attached to M15, M5, H4 or another timeframe, the dashboard displays:
TIMEFRAME WARNING
Trading remains technically available, but H1 is the recommended and historically tested timeframe.
Performance on other timeframes may differ materially from the historical results shown on this product page.
Why These Warnings Exist
It would be easy to allow a user to attach an Expert Advisor anywhere without explaining where its parameters were developed.
We prefer a different approach.
When the current instrument or timeframe differs from the development configuration, the software makes that information visible directly on the dashboard.
The purpose is simple:
Do not hide the conditions under which a strategy was developed. Make them visible to the trader.
The same philosophy is behind the Account Equity Protection system, conservative money-management guidance and real-account forward monitoring.
Multi-Strategy Portfolio Architecture
XAU Regime Portfolio contains six strategy components operating inside one Expert Advisor.
Each strategy can be enabled or disabled individually.
The purpose of the portfolio architecture is to combine different trading behaviors instead of relying entirely on a single entry and exit model.
The common portfolio layer provides:
- Three money-management modes.
- Account risk monitoring.
- Account Equity Protection.
- Persistent emergency trading stop.
- Operating-status control.
- Portfolio statistics.
- Setup warnings.
Professional Dashboard
The built-in dashboard makes the operating state of the EA visible directly on the chart.
The FULL dashboard displays:
- System status.
- Number of active strategies.
- Symbol and timeframe.
- Balance and equity.
- Floating profit or loss.
- Open positions.
- Account drawdown from peak equity.
- Protection status.
- Drawdown protection limit.
- Recent trading performance.
- Active money-management mode.
The dashboard can be switched directly from the chart between three modes:
FULL — detailed portfolio monitoring.
COMPACT — essential portfolio and risk information while leaving more chart space available.
OFF — clean chart mode with minimal interface overhead.
If Account Equity Protection is triggered, the dashboard clearly changes to the protection-stop state and informs the user that trading has been suspended.
Recommended Setup
- Instrument: XAUUSD / GOLD
- Timeframe: H1
- Account type: Hedging
- Dashboard: FULL or COMPACT
- Account Equity Protection: 15% by default
- Money management: Fixed Lot by default
- Fixed Lot: 0.10 by default
- Risk % mode: 0.50% or less per individual strategy trade recommended
For the intended configuration, attach the EA to one XAUUSD / GOLD H1 chart.
The six underlying strategy components do not need to be attached separately.
Before Using a Live Account
We recommend the following procedure before live trading:
- Test the EA in the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester using your broker's XAUUSD data.
- Check symbol specifications, spread, commission and execution conditions.
- Run the EA on a demo account.
- Select an appropriate money-management mode.
- Select position sizing appropriate for the account.
- Review the Account Equity Protection settings.
- Only then consider live trading.
Broker data, spreads, swaps, commissions, execution conditions and slippage can cause results to differ from the screenshots, historical tests and monitored account.
What XAU Regime Portfolio Does Not Promise
We do not claim that the historical equity curve will repeat in the future.
We do not claim that the portfolio will remain profitable in every future market regime.
We do not claim that the Account Equity Protection guarantees a maximum possible loss of exactly 15%.
We do not claim that a Risk % calculation guarantees the exact realized percentage loss.
We do not claim that historical optimization eliminates trading risk.
We do not claim that a profitable beginning of the forward monitoring predicts its future performance.
Automated trading involves risk and losses are possible.

Transparent by Design
There is no perfect historical test and no Expert Advisor can guarantee future market behavior.
Our objective with XAU Regime Portfolio is therefore straightforward:
Show the system. Explain the conditions. Explain the risks. Provide protection tools. Publish forward monitoring. Allow the trader to make an informed decision.
The historical performance shown on this page is attractive, but we believe the way that performance was obtained is just as important as the curve itself.
That is why the development environment, testing methodology, limitations, money-management behavior, protection logic and subsequent real-account monitoring are disclosed openly.
Understand the system. Control the risk. Trade responsibly.
STRATARYN — Transparent by Design.
