How we test
Backtests run on 100% real ticks from 2010, with commission, slippage and swap deducted from every trade. The images show backtest results on historical data, not live trading.
The backtests were run in the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester with this EA, version 2.3, with the default inputs. The EA sets take profit and break-even far enough to cover the costs of each trade: in our backtests with modelled commission, slippage and swap, on a live account with the commission and swap charged by the broker. In the Strategy Tester on your broker's gold symbol the EA uses the costs charged by the tester, so the results will differ from the images.
Requirements
Symbol: XAUUSD / GOLD only. Timeframe: any, the strategies always read H1 bars. The EA sets its own chart colours.
H1 history: at least 6,100 H1 bars of gold loaded in the terminal. With a shorter history some breakout levels are searched on fewer bars or skipped, so trades can differ from the backtest.
Account: ECN / raw spread, hedging account recommended (on a netting account the EA trades only when the account has no other positions or orders). The strategies are spread-sensitive: high spreads reduce the results.
Minimum balance: 1,500 USD for 0.01 lots (leverage 1:100 or higher).
VPS recommended. For the news filter, add the address shown in the "Copy this URL to MT5 WebRequest" input to Tools > Options > Expert Advisors > Allow WebRequest.
Settings
Money management
Money Management Method: Fixed Lot (uses Base / Fixed Lot), Capital Step (e.g. 0.01 lots per 1,000 USD) or Risk % (lot calculated from the risk on the stop loss)
Risk % per trade: Risk % method only, default 1.0. The yearly chart uses 0.35%. Higher values give deeper drawdowns: in the same backtest simulation, 1.0% gave a maximum equity drawdown of 59%. If the calculated lot is below the broker's minimum lot, the minimum lot is used, so the risk can be higher than set.
Base / Fixed Lot: starting or fixed lot size
Capital step: Capital Step method only, balance needed for each Base / Fixed Lot
Execution
Entry Execution Mode: pending orders (held by the EA, sent to the broker when the price is within 50 USD of the entry and skipped if the price is already within 1 USD of the entry or beyond it; the EA deletes them when it is removed, stopped or restarted, including a change of inputs or timeframe, while the market is open) or market execution (orders not visible to the broker)
Exit Execution Mode: visible SL/TP (sent to the broker) or hidden SL/TP (kept by the EA, not by the broker: the terminal must stay running)
Max Spread points: maximum spread in the broker's points, market execution only. 40 points are 0.40 USD with 2-digit gold quotes but 0.04 USD with 3-digit quotes: raise the value on 3-digit quotes (0 disables the check)
Trailing update step: in USD of gold price (0.25 = 25 cents)
Wait minutes after market open
Friday Broker closing hour: on Friday, from 15 minutes before this hour (broker time), the EA closes its open positions and pending orders; manual trades and trades of other EAs are not touched; 24 or 25 disables it
News filter
Enable News Filter: around selected USD high-impact news (employment, inflation, FOMC and interest rate releases) it closes the EA's trades and pending orders and pauses trading (off by default, not active in the Strategy Tester)
Pause minutes before news / Pause minutes after news

Show Panel on Chart: on-chart panel
