DoubleDragon Gold

DoubleDragon Gold - MQL5 Market product description (English draft)

Short description (for the "brief description" field)

DoubleDragon Gold is an automated trade manager for gold (XAUUSD) on M1. It builds

hedged chains, tracks the weighted average price of each chain and closes the whole

chain once a small configurable target is reached. Five selectable modes and four

starting lot sizes define the spacing, target and lot curve. A layered fuse system

is available for floating loss, deep dwell, rebound give-back, daily loss and weekend

close (all optional and switched off in the default configuration).

Full description

Overview

DoubleDragon Gold is a fully automated Expert Advisor designed for gold (XAUUSD) on the

M1 timeframe. The EA does not rely on a single entry signal. It manages a two-sided

(hedged) chain of positions, keeps the average price of the chain close to the latest

filled leg, and exits the whole chain when the weighted-average profit reaches the

configured target. Spacing between legs, the target distance and the lot curve are

determined by the selected mode and starting lot size.

A hedging account is required. The EA opens long and short positions independently and

manages each side as its own chain.

How it works

• Chain construction. Positions are added at fixed or adaptive spacing. Each new

leg moves the chain average price closer to the current market price.

• Chain exit. The whole chain is closed when the weighted-average profit of that

side reaches the target. Take-profit levels are managed server-side, and a

tick-based refill runs after a fill so that the target stays consistent.

• Two-sided management. Long and short chains are tracked separately, so the EA

can reduce exposure on one side while the other side keeps working.

• Adaptive spacing and target. Both can follow the selected mode, or be turned off

or overridden manually.

Selectable modes and starting lots

Five modes are available. They differ in how the distance between legs is calculated,

how the chain exit target is calculated, and how long the EA waits before re-entering

the same side after a chain is closed:

Mode	Distance between legs	Chain exit target	Re-entry delay
Conservative	Adapts to market volatility (ATR based)	Fixed	75 s
Classic	Fixed distance, no volatility adaptation	Fixed	75 s
Smart (default)	Standard fixed distance	Adapts to market volatility	30 s
Aggressive	Dense distance (legs closer together)	Wider volatility-based target	30 s
D recipe	Same engine as Conservative, supplied with fixed preset values	Fixed	75 s

How to read the table

• Distance between legs - how far price must move before the next position is added.

"Adapts to volatility" means the EA measures recent market range (ATR, average true

range) and widens or narrows the step automatically.

• Chain exit target - the weighted-average profit at which the whole chain closes.

A volatility-based target follows the market; a fixed target does not.

• Re-entry delay - how long the EA waits before opening a new chain on the same side

after the previous one is closed.

• D recipe is the low-risk option: it runs the Conservative engine with fixed

preset values (nothing to tune). It is intended for users who want the simplest setup.

Four starting lot sizes (0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04) can be selected independently of the

mode. The EA never scales lots by account balance or contract size on its own.

Protection: what is active, and what you switch on yourself

The mode engine above (distance, target, cooldown) is always active. The additional

protection layers are switched off in the default configuration - you enable the

ones you want in the inputs:

Protection	Default	What it does when enabled
Daily loss guard ( DailyLossGuard )	Off	at 15% daily loss, pause new entries and refills; open positions keep being managed and nothing is force-closed
Persistent floating-loss fuse	Off	close a chain after floating loss stays above your level for your chosen number of minutes
Deep dwell fuse	Off	close a chain that has stayed deep for too long while floating loss is above your level
Too-far-from-target fuse	Off	close when price is too far from the target and floating loss exceeds your level
Rebound give-back fuse	Off	after a rebound, close if a set part of the recovered loss is given back
Weekend finish	Off	try to close within an allowed loss before the weekend
Session and news avoidance	Off	pause new entries at market opens and around calendar events
Check and repair	Off	verify and restore local state if the EA stalls

Every one of these is optional; with all of them off the EA still manages chains,

targets and exits as described above.

How to enable a protection, and suggested starting values

Three steps:

1. Attach the EA to an XAUUSD M1 chart and press F7 (or double-click the EA in the

Navigator and open Inputs).

2. Find the matching group in the list: groups 03-06 for the fuses, group 07 for sessions

and loss avoidance, group 10 for check and repair.

3. Enter the values and press OK. The EA applies them on the next tick, and chains that

are already open are re-evaluated with the new thresholds.

Two rules that apply to every amount:

• Amounts are entered as a USD baseline. On a cent account the EA converts them

automatically (100x factor), so you always type the same USD numbers regardless of the

account currency.

• Thresholds scale with the chain's birth lot multiplier: a chain started with a

larger lot size gets proportionally larger thresholds. You do not need separate

settings for each starting lot size.

A value of 0 (or false ) switches that protection off - and off is the default for

all of them.

Protection	Inputs to set	Suggested starting values
Persistent floating-loss fuse	InFloatEscUsd / InFloatEscMin / InFloatEscResetUsd / InFloatEscDeepUsd	300 / 30 / 150 / 800
Deep dwell fuse	InDeepDwellLayer / InDeepDwellMin / InDeepDwellUsd	20 / 60 / 500
Too-far-from-target fuse	InRetrEscUsd / InRetrEscFloatUsd	30 / 400
Rebound give-back fuse	InRebEsc / InRebEscLayer / InRebEscArmUsd / InRebEscMinRebUsd / InRebEscRecPct / InRebEscGiveUsd / InRebEscGivePct	true / 25 / 250 / 60 / 0.5 / 150 / 0.5
Daily loss guard	DailyLossGuard	true (level is fixed at 15%)
Weekend finish	WeekendFinish / InWeekendLossLimit	true / 0 (automatic)
Session and news avoidance	UseSessionOpenGate / NewsAutoManage	true / true
Check and repair	InAutoHeal	true

The numbers above are a starting point to adjust to your own account size and risk

appetite, not a statement about account size or a risk budget. Test them on a demo

account with your broker's conditions before going live. Every fuse only ends a chain

earlier: it never opens new positions and never increases lot size.

Manual control panel

A chart panel provides pause levels (stop new entries, then also stop refills), a

a one-click close that affects only the EA's own positions on the current symbol,

and live status readouts for chains, targets and fuse state. Buttons never touch

positions opened by other EAs or manually.

Inputs

Inputs are grouped by function: general settings, automatic management, five fuse

groups, session and loss avoidance, pause management, display and execution, check

and repair, and maintenance groups for legacy configurations. Every input has an

English description in the terminal.

Recommended setup

• Symbol: XAUUSD (or the broker's gold symbol), timeframe M1
• Account: hedging account; cent accounts are supported (USD and cent units are

detected automatically)

• Start with the default mode and the smallest starting lot, and verify the settings

on a demo account first

Important notes

• The EA is a trade management tool. It does not guarantee any trading result, and

floating loss, spread, slippage and swap can all affect the outcome.

• Keep the terminal running and auto-trading enabled while the EA is active.
• If you run more than one instance on the same symbol, give each instance its own

unique order identifier (magic number) so that they do not manage each other.

• Before the first live run, test the EA on a demo account with your broker's

conditions.

built-in MQL5 chat.
