Aureus EA

AUREUS EA

Aureus is a fully automated dual-core Expert Advisor for XAUUSD (Gold), built for traders who want a hands-off system with real risk control — not a gambling robot.

Every single trade is protected by a hard stop loss. No martingale. No grid. No averaging down. No reckless recovery. When a trade is wrong, it is closed — losses stay small and defined.

► Two engines, one system

• Core A — Daily Breakout: captures the directional move after the daily range is set, with a tight trailing exit that locks profit fast.
• Core B — Swing: trades higher-timeframe structure with an adaptive, volatility-scaled trail.

The two run independently and complement each other across different market conditions.

► Key features

• XAUUSD only — purpose-built for Gold
• Hard stop loss on every trade
• Automatic risk-based position sizing (4 presets: Conservative / Balanced / Dynamic / Aggressive)
• News protection (skips NFP & FOMC days)
• Weekend protection (no exposure over the weekend gap)
• Optional daily loss limit
• Selectable trading days
• Clean on-chart dashboard (live P&L, positions, controls)
• One chart, fully automated — set and forget

► Risk per trade (Auto sizing)
Aureus sizes positions automatically from your account balance. Each trade always carries a hard stop loss, so your worst-case risk is fully defined in advance:

• Conservative — Core A ~0.6% / Core B ~1.9%
• Balanced — Core A ~1.0% / Core B ~1.9%
• Dynamic (recommended) — Core A ~1.0% / Core B ~3.0%
• Aggressive — Core A ~1.7% / Core B ~3.0%

Figures are the maximum risk per trade if the full stop loss is hit. Actual losses are typically much smaller, both engines use a trailing exit that cuts losers well before the hard stop. The recommended Dynamic preset produced a maximum drawdown in the mid-single digits over 2024–2026 real-tick testing.

Auto sizing scales correctly on accounts of 500 USD and above. On smaller balances the minimum lot (0.01) applies, which raises the effective risk per trade, use Manual lot mode or the Conservative preset on small accounts.

► Backtest (MT5 Strategy Tester, 100% real ticks)

On 2024–2026 real-tick data, Aureus delivered steady, low-drawdown growth with a profit factor above 2 and maximum drawdown in the mid-single digits.

Backtests are historical and not a guarantee of future results — please judge the EA on the live signal above.

Default settings are ready to run out of the box. The Risk level only scales position size — the strategy logic stays the same.

► Risk warning
Trading foreign exchange, Gold and CFDs on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you.
Past performance  whether from backtests or live results  is not indicative of future results, and no profit is ever guaranteed.
You may lose some or all of your invested capital; never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
Always test on a demo account first and use a risk level appropriate to your situation.
You are solely responsible for your own trading decisions.
