PRODUCT NAME
Sundial Gold Scalper MT5
SHORT DESCRIPTION (one line)
Time-window momentum scalper for XAUUSD with a hard stop-loss on every trade. No martingale.
FULL DESCRIPTION
Sundial Gold Scalper trades gold (XAUUSD) only at the times of day when momentum tends to follow through. It enters on confirmed strength, exits as soon as the position is in profit, and every trade has a hard stop-loss.
HOW IT WORKS
- Session windows: seven built-in strategies cover the Asian session, the Europe open, London and the late US session. Outside these windows the EA does nothing.
- Momentum confirmation: an entry needs M15 RSI strength, price on the trend side of the M15 and H1 moving averages, and H4 RSI outside the extreme zone, so it does not chase moves that have already run.
- Fast exit: positions are checked at every new M1 bar and closed as soon as they are in profit. Average holding time is 8 to 24 minutes.
- Layered protection: price stop-loss, equity stop per strategy, maximum holding time, daily loss limit and an automatic Friday close.
