Tailor Gold
Tailor Gold is an Expert Advisor for XAUUSD. It trades on two timeframes at the same time and uses ten independently optimized parameter sets (presets). All presets run under one magic number and share one risk setting, so the total risk per signal stays the same no matter how many presets are enabled.
- Every position is opened with a stop loss and a take profit.
- No grid, no martingale, no averaging into losing positions.
- Extra positions are added only when the existing ones are already protected at breakeven.
- Lot size is calculated from the stop loss distance and the risk percentage.
- Optional basket lock closes all positions together after open profit gives back part of its peak.
- Optional news filter, trading hours, daily loss limit and drawdown-based risk reduction.
- Broker rules are checked before every order: trading permission, symbol trade mode, volume limits, stops and freeze levels, free margin.

Notes
- Start with the default settings and test them in the Strategy Tester on your broker's data before trading live.
- Trading hours use the broker's server time.
- Past results do not guarantee future results. Trading gold carries a high level of risk.
