FXEA365 Gold Tripwire Breakout MT4 — H1 swing breakout for XAUUSD with a performance breaker (MetaTrader 4, v1.00)
IMPORTANT — attach the EA to one XAUUSD chart (any timeframe works; M15 recommended). The EA reads the H1 swings itself. A hedging account is recommended. This is the MetaTrader 4 edition (v1.00, breakout engine only). MetaTrader 5 edition (adds the Piyo scalping engine): https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/202581
Risk warning first: four run modes are in one dropdown. The default, Ultra, gives the highest return and the deepest drawdown. Pick the mode that matches your tolerance and start on demo or a small account. Backtests are past results, not a promise.
WHAT IT DOES
The EA places a buy-stop at the last confirmed H1 swing high and a sell-stop at the last confirmed H1 swing low of gold, and trades the breakout. Every trade has a stop-loss and a take-profit set as a fraction of the price at entry, and a staged trailing stop locks profit once the move runs in your favour. No grid, no martingale, no averaging-in. At most one position per direction. Average holding time in the test: about 21 minutes.
PERFORMANCE BREAKER
The EA keeps score of its own recent trades (the last 30 by default, real and virtual). When the profit factor of that window falls below 0.3, it stops sending real orders and keeps trading virtually. When the virtual results recover to a profit factor of 1.0, it returns to real trading. Right after you attach it, until 30 trades are recorded, it trades at 0.3x lot size.
BACKTEST (this MT4 edition, v1.00) — MetaTrader 4 Strategy Tester, XAUUSD, 2020.01.01-2026.07.09, deposit 1,000 USD, Ultra mode (default, fixed 0.10 lot)
- +8,003 USD / PF 2.91 / 601 trades / win rate 73.9% / max DD 6.80% / largest relative DD 12.75%
The MT4 tester builds its ticks from minute bars and fills the stop-loss and take-profit exactly at their price, so its win rate is higher than in the MetaTrader 5 real-tick test of the same breakout engine over the same period (600 trades, +7,120 USD, PF 2.71, win rate 58.6%). Size the account by the drawdown, not by the win rate.
HONEST RISK DISCLOSURE
- Backtests are not a promise of future results. Losing streaks and losing months exist; the breaker reduces them but does not remove them.
- Spread, commission and slippage at your broker change the results. A low-spread account is recommended.
- The lot is fixed per mode (or set by Risk %). Raising it raises the drawdown in the same proportion.
- Trade only with money you can afford to lose.
INPUTS
- Run mode: Defensive / Standard / Aggressive / Ultra (lot multiplier x0.5 / x1 / x2 / x5)
- Base lot: lot used in Standard mode (default 0.02)
- Risk %: above 0, each trade is sized as a % of balance at the stop-loss distance (0 = use the base lot)
- Magic number
- Breaker: trades in the window (30) / pause below PF (0.3) / resume at PF (1.0) / start-up lot multiplier (0.3)
- Detailed log on/off
REQUIREMENTS
- Symbol: XAUUSD (gold). Leverage 1:100 or higher.
- Deposit: from about 300 USD for Defensive/Standard; 1,000 USD or more for Ultra.
- A VPS is recommended so the pending orders are managed around the clock.
