Adaptive Breakout Gold
Automated gold trading with configurable risk, a daily equity guard and a clear view of your account’s trading status.
Adaptive Breakout Gold is a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor for traders who value consistent execution and defined risk limits. For prop firm traders evaluating automated gold trading, it provides controls for position sizing and daily exposure, together with an on-chart dashboard and phone notifications.
Risk controls built into execution
- Configurable risk per trade: position size is calculated from your selected risk, the trade’s stop distance and the symbol’s volume limits.
- Remaining daily allowance: the EA can reduce the next position size when the available daily budget falls below your requested risk.
- Daily equity guard: when its daily loss condition is reached, the EA blocks new entries and attempts to close its own positions on the traded symbol.
- Controlled symbol exposure: new entries are blocked while a position or pending order already exists on that symbol.
- Visible operating status: the dashboard displays account equity, risk settings, remaining daily allowance, spread, the EA’s floating result and reasons for waiting.
- Entry notifications: optional MT5 Push alerts are generated after a confirmed opening fill.
Historical performance
The following results are historical Strategy Tester simulations. Both tests used Exness XAUUSDm, M5, January–October 2026, a USD 10,000 starting deposit, leverage of 1:100 and No Delay execution.
| Risk per trade / Daily loss setting | Net return | Maximum equity drawdown | Trades | Profit factor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.65% / 0.975% | 45.78% | 4.97% | 198 | 1.51 |
| 1.00% / 1.50% | 82.65% | 7.93% | 200 | 1.49 |
These parameters and this period were selected after previous research. Real-tick mode included documented gaps filled with generated ticks. The results do not establish an expected monthly return, future drawdown ceiling or challenge pass rate.
A separate 34-month study of an earlier engine, using a different tick model, recorded 25.03% maximum equity drawdown. That study provides longer-history context and is not a version 6.08 result.
For prop firm traders
Before use, check your firm’s permission for Expert Advisors and its account rules. The EA’s daily guard uses the broker’s server day and its own account-equity reference. A firm may calculate daily losses or reset times differently.
The current version does not include a firm-specific overall drawdown lock, economic-news filter or automatic weekend close. Positions may remain open overnight or across a weekend. Consistency rules, minimum trading days and payout eligibility require separate verification.
Daily loss settings cannot guarantee a maximum realized loss. Gaps, changing spreads, swaps and execution delays can cause losses to exceed the configured threshold. The guard monitors account-wide equity but only attempts to close positions belonging to this EA on its traded symbol.
Setup and controls
Attach the EA to your broker’s gold symbol on an M5 chart. The verified symbol is Exness XAUUSDm.
The main operating controls include:
- RiskPercent: requested risk percentage per trade.
- MaxDailyLossPct: daily loss threshold used by the equity guard.
- EnableEntryPush: enable notifications after opening fills.
- ShowDashboard: show or hide the chart panel.
Default settings are 1.00% risk per trade and 1.50% daily loss. The lower-risk profile shown above uses 0.65% and 0.975%. Choose settings for your account and verify their behavior before use.
Use one instance per account, symbol and magic number. Keep MT5 connected on a computer or VPS. Configure your MetaQuotes ID in MT5 Notifications and use the terminal’s Test button to verify phone delivery.
If a reliable daily starting reference is unavailable after initial attachment, the EA may wait for the next server day. The dashboard shows this status.
Evaluate before buying
Use the Market demo in Strategy Tester with your broker’s data, costs and account conditions. Review losing periods and drawdown alongside returns.
