THE LEGEND

In every great vault, the gold that mattered was never the gold on display. It was the gold that moved in silence, between the hours, when the market wasn't watching.

XELOX is named for that movement.

The legend never trusts the gold to a single watcher. To the guardian who keeps the great boundary — the one gold crosses only once a season, after holding it for a full month — answers a sentinel of another kind: the one who walks the corridors between the hours, while the guardian waits for the seasons to turn. Where he watches for the great move, she watches the day itself. She learned what every intraday trader eventually learns the hard way — gold lies constantly. It breaks a level to bait the impatient, then snaps back and strands them on the wrong side.

So she stopped believing the first move. She posted herself just behind every boundary gold held, and she waited for proof. Not intent — proof. When the break was real, she committed, once, without hesitation. And she never gave back the ground she had already taken.

That is the whole philosophy of this Expert Advisor. It does not predict. It does not average down. It does not open a second position to rescue a losing one. It waits for gold to prove its break, then protects what it takes.

WHAT XELOX IS

XELOX is a fully automated breakout system for XAUUSD on MetaTrader 5.

Every position opens with a stop loss and a take profit defined at entry. No martingale, no grid, no averaging down, no hidden exposure. One position, one defined risk, from the first tick to the last.

The internal parameters are locked to the tested configuration. Only a few settings are exposed, so the system can never be detuned by mistake. What you test is exactly what you run.

ZERO CONFIGURATION — READY AS IT IS

This is probably the most important point on this page, even ahead of the performance figures.

XELOX ships fully pre-configured. No set file to download, request or keep up to date. No preset to choose based on your broker. No optimization to run in the Strategy Tester before you can use it. The configuration behind the figures below is the one that runs the moment you attach it to the chart — there is no other.

What you actually have to do, in order:

•     Attach XELOX to an XAUUSD chart

•     Set your risk percentage per trade

•     Done — the system handles everything else on its own

No technical knowledge of algorithmic trading is required. You never need to understand or touch the price structure, the trend EMA or the trailing running behind the scenes — they are fixed, tested and out of reach, so that no one, including you by mistake, can detune them.

Most gold systems hand you a folder of set files and a decision you're not equipped to make. Every one of those choices is a chance to break a system that was working.

This simplicity makes XELOX accessible to every category of investor: a beginner discovering algorithmic trading faces no technical barrier, while an experienced trader instantly manages one or several accounts — personal or funded — with the same product, with no configuration file to juggle between them. Switching brokers requires no reconfiguration: the system is independent of both the broker and the chart timeframe.

This simplicity isn't just a convenience — it's also a safeguard: neither you nor anyone else can detune XELOX.

And it isn't a shortcut. It is what remains after eliminating everything that didn't survive testing.

The only decision that belongs to you is the risk setting — because it's the only one that legitimately depends on your personal situation, not on your technical skill.

THE METHOD

1. The boundary. XELOX reads the price structure on the H1 timeframe and identifies the real breaking points — the recent extremes the market has held. As long as price stays inside, it lays its orders in ambush on both sides, but nothing triggers.

2. The break — and its proof. XELOX does not enter at market. It places pending stop orders, set back from the level, and only commits the position if price genuinely breaks the boundary. As long as the break hasn't happened, no risk is taken. If the market changes its mind, the order expires and clears cleanly — no trace, no needless exposure.

3. Direction. The entry is filtered by the underlying trend, measured by a 200 EMA. XELOX only buys when the market is bullish, only sells when it is bearish. It does not straddle both sides blindly: it follows the market regime.

4. The stop. The stop loss is expressed as a percentage of price, not in fixed points. Protection therefore adapts automatically to the level of gold: when gold trades at $1,800 the distance is one thing; when it trades at $3,500 it adjusts on its own. A fixed stop would become absurdly tight as gold rises — XELOX does not have that flaw. The distance from entry to stop defines R, the trade's risk unit.

5. The sentinel's discipline — the trailing stop. This is where XELOX differs from an ordinary breakout robot. As soon as the trade advances in your favor, a tight trailing stop, also expressed as a percentage of price, moves the stop forward in the direction of profit and locks in the ground gained. Once ground is taken, it is not given back. In testing, the large majority of winning trades close on a stop already carried into profit, rather than on the take profit itself — it's the trailing stop, not the target, that produces the win rate.

6. Position sizing. Lot size is calculated from the account balance, the chosen risk percentage and the current stop distance. A wider stop produces a smaller lot; a tighter stop, a larger one. Risk per trade stays constant regardless of market volatility.

THREE PROFILES, ONE SYSTEM

XELOX exposes a single risk setting. That one number changes the entire character of the system, and it's the only decision you have to make.

All backtests below: XAUUSD, January 2023 – July 2026 (3.5 years), 100% real ticks.

Prop firm profile — Risk per trade: 2.5%

Built to stay within the rules of funded-account programmes. A loss leaves margin under a typical 5% daily limit and a typical 10% maximum drawdown limit.

This is the configuration to use for a challenge, a funded account, or anywhere a drawdown limit is imposed on you. Check your firm's exact rules before running it.

Personal account profile — Risk per trade: 15%

For traders using their own capital who accept a materially larger drawdown in exchange for faster compounding. This profile is aggressive. It is not suitable for a funded account.

Personal account profile, extreme — Risk per trade: 20%

The far end of the range, shown deliberately rather than hidden. Reserved for traders who fully understand what aggressive compounding does to an equity curve.

Note: the drawdown of the 20% profile is lower than the 15% one because of the per-order lot cap, which equalizes losses once the account has grown. This is intended sizing behavior, not an anomaly.

SETTINGS

Only a few parameters are exposed — everything else is fixed internally to the tested configuration:

•     Enable buy orders — enabled by default

•     Enable sell orders — enabled by default

•     Risk percent (% of balance per trade) — 2.5 for a prop firm account, up to 20 for a personal account

•     SL distance = trigger price × SL_Percent / 100 — stop distance as a percentage of the trigger price (0.12 by default)

•     Show the XELOX dashboard — displays the dashboard on the chart

•     Draw the buy/sell trigger level lines — draws the buy/sell trigger level lines on the chart

XELOX trades the symbol of the chart it is attached to — simply attach it to an XAUUSD chart. Everything else is fixed internally to the tested configuration.

There is no hard cap on the risk setting — higher values simply increase drawdown. Backtest each setting yourself on the free demo to see exactly how much.

REQUIREMENTS

•     MetaTrader 5

•     Symbol: XAUUSD (gold)

•     Any chart timeframe — the system reads its own timeframes internally and is not affected by the chart it is attached to

•     A broker with competitive gold spreads, ECN/RAW/low-spread type.

•     VPS recommended for uninterrupted operation

•     Minimum recommended balance: $300

WHAT TO EXPECT

Read this before buying. It matters more than the figures above.

XELOX is an intraday breakout system. It performs when gold trends and breaks its structures cleanly. It performs less when gold spends weeks stuck in a range — in those conditions it takes few trades and can stagnate or pull back slightly. Gold does not trend continuously, and no setting of this system changes that.

Expect an equity curve that advances in steps, not in a straight line. A system that waits for the proof of a genuine break cannot produce guaranteed daily profit, and any system promising daily gains on gold is doing something else entirely.

The trial version available on this page runs in the Strategy Tester with no restriction. Test it yourself, on your broker's data, over any period you choose, including periods where gold ranged. You will see exactly what it does and what it does not do. That is the intended way to evaluate this product.

RISK DISCLAIMER
