Red Folder Gold

Red Folder Gold trades the single moment that moves gold the most: the first reaction after the two biggest scheduled US releases, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP). These are the red-folder events every serious trader has circled on the calendar, the releases that can move gold hundreds of points in minutes. Red Folder Gold is built to be in position for that move, and back out before the dust settles.

How it works

Minutes before each scheduled release the EA goes on watch. It does not predict the number and it does not guess a direction in advance. It waits for price to commit. The instant the market makes a real move, a confirmation step separates a genuine break from a spread flicker or a fake-out, and the EA enters in the direction of that move. The trade is then handled by a software stop, an automatic breakeven, and a strict time-based exit, so every position is closed within minutes of the release. Nothing is left open for hours.

What it does not do

No grid. No martingale. No averaging down. No holding a loser and hoping. One position per event, a fixed stop, and a hard exit, every time. If you are tired of robots that show a perfect curve until the single trade that empties the account, this is the opposite philosophy.

Why gold, and only CPI and NFP

CPI and NFP are the highest-impact scheduled events for the US dollar, and gold is the cleanest, most liquid way to trade the reaction. That is roughly two trade windows a month. The rest of the time the EA simply waits. It does not overtrade, and it does not invent setups where there are none.

At a glance

• XAUUSD only, fully automatic
• Trades only scheduled US CPI and NFP, about twice a month
• Confirmed entry, never pre-positions blindly into the spike
• Automatic breakeven and a strict time-exit on every trade
• Risk per trade is yours to set
• Built-in release calendar, with editable future dates
• No grid, no martingale, no averaging

Setup

Attach to one XAUUSD chart on any timeframe. Set your broker server GMT offset (it is printed in the start-up log), choose your risk, and enable AutoTrading. Then leave it running. A low-latency VPS is recommended so you are in the market the moment the release prints.

Requirements

Hedging account. Gold with tight spreads (ECN or raw) strongly recommended. A VPS near your broker for execution speed (recommended but not too important).

Risk

You set the risk per trade. Start conservative and increase it only after you have watched the EA work on your own account. News trading means fast markets and possible slippage, so size responsibly. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Updates and support

The CPI and NFP calendar is kept current, and future dates are editable so you are never locked out. For questions, results, and help, please use the product comments.
