I have built and tested trading software for more than eight years. I build and test gold (XAUUSD) Expert Advisors, which are trading robots, for MetaTrader 5 and 4. Ideas start in a Python engine, then go through the MT5 Strategy Tester (MetaTrader's backtesting tool) on 1-minute OHLC, which builds - Version: 1.10

Gold Zenith Meridian is an Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 that applies session and market-condition filters to higher-timeframe XAUUSD breakout levels. It uses pending stop orders, predefined exits and a configurable risk input.
Logic
- Tracks several independent structures on the higher timeframes.
- Checks the conditions around each break, not only the break itself.
- Orders rest and expire unfilled if the level is never taken.
- Stops, targets and trailing rules are set before the position exists.
There is no martingale, grid or averaging down, and size is not increased to recover a loss. Every filled position has a broker-side stop loss.
Inputs
- Risk level
- Fixed lot
- Maximum lot
- Magic number
- Order comment
- Maximum spread
Each table row has a matching preset file.
Historical simulation
MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester simulation on XAUUSD, real tick data, 2019 to 1 May 2026, leverage 1:500, initial deposit USD 5,000. At the Standard setting the annualized return was 47%, and the maximum equity drawdown was 27.21%. In the 2010 to 1 May 2026 window the Standard setting had a maximum equity drawdown of 57.59% and 2 losing years out of 17. The fixed 0.10 lot row had 1 losing calendar year out of 8. This is a simulation on one broker's price history. It is not live trading and does not predict future results.
Maximum equity drawdown by risk setting, with the estimated 95th percentile drawdown from 10,000 block-based resamples of the closed trades.
| Setting | Maximum equity drawdown | Estimated 95th percentile drawdown |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed 0.10 lot (USD 10,000 deposit) | 15.59% | about 25% |
| Standard (x1) | 27.21% | about 42% |
| x1.5 | 41.39% | about 60% |
| Aggressive (x2) | 55.55% | about 75% |
| Extreme (x2.5) | 69.24% | about 87% |
At the Standard setting the longest simulated period below a previous equity high was 293 days. Across the resampled paths the median was 299 days, and 33% of paths stayed below a previous high for more than one year.
Requirements
XAUUSD, any chart timeframe, hedging account, raw spread preferred. The tests used leverage 1:500; lower leverage may restrict position sizes. A virtual private server is recommended because pending orders need the terminal online. Rental options from one month to one year are available.
Important limits
Live results differ from the simulation because of spread, slippage on stop orders, commission and time the terminal is offline. Test the program in your own Strategy Tester and on a demo account, and use risk you can afford to lose.
