Tom Pulse Gold is a fully automated Expert Advisor for gold (XAUUSD) on MetaTrader 5. It runs twenty-two independent strategies. Every trade has a fixed stop loss from the moment it is opened. Positions can stay open overnight and over a weekend until their own exit closes them.
HOW IT WORKS
Every morning the EA classifies the day by its volatility (calm, normal or volatile). Each strategy trades only on the kind of day it was built for, so on any day only the strategies that suit the market are active. The strategies are breakouts with stop orders, reversals and momentum setups across the Asian, London and New York sessions. Every position is opened with its stop loss already attached; depending on the strategy it is closed by its take profit, a break-even or a trailing stop.
THE 22 STRATEGIES
• Strategy 01 - Strategy 22, each with its own magic number and order comment (TPG S01 ... TPG S22)
• Market setups and seven stop-order breakout families
• Each strategy can be switched on or off; risk can be set for all strategies at once or per strategy
RISK MANAGEMENT
• A fixed stop loss on every trade, sent to the broker together with the order
• No grid and no martingale: the lot never grows after a loss. Strategies 01 - 20 hold one position each; Strategies 21 - 22 can hold several positions at once, each with its own stop loss
• Positions can stay open overnight and over a weekend, which adds swap and price gap risk. Check the rules of your broker or prop firm before you use the EA
• Account protection for prop firm accounts (optional): a daily loss limit (% or money, trading stops until the next day) and a maximum drawdown limit (% or money from the equity peak, the EA closes its positions and removes itself)
• Safety checks before every order: trading session, free margin, symbol volume limit, stops and freeze levels
BACKTEST RESULTS (default inputs, $1,000 start)
2025 (1 Jan - 31 Dec, Dukascopy real ticks): net profit +$64,696, profit factor 1.95, maximum equity drawdown 16.29%, 1,669 trades.
2026 (1 Jan - 5 Nov, real broker ticks): net profit +$25,067, profit factor 1.47, maximum equity drawdown 18.40%, 1,752 trades.
Test model: every tick based on real ticks, 300 ms execution delay, leverage 1:500. The default lot is 0.01 per $1,000 of balance, so the lot grows with the balance and the profit compounds. Past results do not guarantee future results. The strategy settings were developed on this period, so these are not out-of-sample results.
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS
Risk is set with one number: 0.01 lot per $X of balance (Risk group). Backtest with a $10,000 start (maximum equity drawdown 2025 / 2026):
• 0.01 per $1,000 (default, aggressive): 17.03% / 18.71%
• 0.01 per $1,500: 11.58% / 12.77%
• 0.01 per $2,000 (balanced): 8.72% / 9.65%
• 0.01 per $3,000 (conservative): 5.55% / 6.42%
• 0.01 per $5,000 (low): 3.46% / 3.14%
Our recommendation: 0.01 lot per $1,000 - $2,000 for most accounts; 0.01 per $3,000 or more for capital preservation and prop firm challenges, together with the account protection. When the balance is below X, the EA trades the minimum lot 0.01.
ON-CHART PANEL AND THEMES
The panel shows the EA status, today's market type, each strategy (scheduled, watching, in trade with its floating profit, done today, not today, off), today's and total profit per strategy and the account figures, including the daily loss and drawdown limits when the account protection is on. Choose one of three themes for the panel and the chart: Pulse Dark, Emerald Night or Light. The chart theme sets the background and candle colours and removes the grid; the chart's own colours come back when the EA is removed.
REQUIREMENTS
• Symbol: XAUUSD (gold) only - any broker suffix (XAUUSD+, XAUUSD.m, GOLD ...), 2 or 3 digits. Any chart timeframe; attach the EA to one chart only.
• Hedging account required (the EA does not start on a netting account).
• Broker server time: the strategy times are set for the common GMT+2 / GMT+3 server time (New York close).
• Minimum deposit: $1,000 at the default risk.
• Leverage: 1:100 or higher recommended.
• Low-spread (ECN / raw) account recommended; a VPS for uninterrupted 24/5 operation.
GETTING STARTED
1. Check the server time in Market Watch: GMT+2 in winter, GMT+3 in summer.
2. Attach Tom Pulse Gold to one XAUUSD chart (any timeframe).
3. Switch Algo Trading on and allow algo trading in the EA settings.
4. Set your risk in the Risk group (0.01 lot per $X) - see Recommended settings.
5. Prop firm account: set the daily loss and maximum drawdown limits below the limits of your firm.
6. Run it on a VPS. Some strategies act at fixed times of the day: if you attach the EA later in the day, those strategies start on the next day (the panel shows "next day").
Backtest it yourself with "Every tick based on real ticks" on a hedging account; small differences to the figures above are normal (broker ticks, spread, commission, swap).
RISK WARNING
Every trade has a stop loss, but losing trades and losing days happen: in the backtests above the maximum equity drawdown at the default risk was 16.29% - 18.40%. Use money you can afford to lose, test on a demo account first and consider the account protection. Trading gold on margin carries a high level of risk.
