GoldLab Trend Pullback is an Expert Advisor for XAUUSD (Gold) that trades with the trend and waits for a pullback before entering. Every trade has a stop-loss, and the position size is calculated from your account balance.
HOW IT TRADES
- Trend filter: only trades in the direction of the H4 EMA 50 trend.
- Market regime: uses ADX and DI on H1 to separate trending from ranging conditions. In a trend it looks for pullback entries; in between it waits.
- Entry: on the M15 chart, price must pull back to the EMA 20 and close back in the trend direction.
- Optional range mode (off by default): Bollinger Bands + RSI mean-reversion entries when ADX is low.
RISK MANAGEMENT
- Risk % per trade: the lot is sized so that hitting the stop-loss costs about the chosen % of balance (default 1%). A fixed lot can be used instead.
- ATR stop-loss (default 1.5 x ATR H1) that adapts to volatility.
- Break-even at 0.8R and an ATR trailing stop that lets winning trades run.
- Closes the trade if the trend or market regime turns against it (can be switched off).
- Daily loss limit (default 3% of balance) and a pause after 3 losses in a row.
- Free-margin check before every order; the lot is reduced or the trade is skipped if margin is insufficient.
FILTERS
- Maximum spread, up to three no-entry time windows (default 00:00-06:00 server time) and a high-impact USD news filter using the built-in MT5 economic calendar.
RECOMMENDATIONS
- Symbol: XAUUSD (or your broker's gold symbol). Chart timeframe: any; the EA uses M15 / H1 / H4 internally.
- Account: hedging or netting. Low-spread accounts are preferred for gold.
- Start on a demo account with the default 1% risk. Use a VPS for 24/5 operation.
- Run one instance per symbol, or give each instance a different magic number.

IMPORTANT
This EA does not use martingale, grid or averaging. Every position has a stop-loss.
Trading gold, forex and CFDs is high risk and you can lose your capital. No trading system wins every trade, and past or backtested results do not guarantee future results. Only trade money you can afford to lose and always test on a demo account first.
