Golden Oracle EA

Golden Oracle is an Expert Advisor for XAUUSD (Gold) built on a disciplined daily breakout strategy. At the start of each session it identifies the previous day's high and low, places a Buy Stop and Sell Stop at those structural levels, and manages the full trade lifecycle automatically — from entry through to expiry, including optional partial close at a midpoint Fibonacci target and automatic breakeven.

There is no grid, no martingale, and no averaging. One clean setup per day. Every position carries a fixed Stop Loss and Take Profit defined before the trade begins.

Key Features

1. Daily Breakout Fibonacci Strategy — Places Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders at the previous day's high and low at the start of each session, with Stop Loss and Take Profit set at predefined Fibonacci extension and retracement levels. Orders expire automatically at a user-defined time to avoid overnight exposure.
2. Two-Stage Take Profit with Breakeven — Optionally closes 50% of the position at a midpoint Fibonacci target (TP1) and moves the Stop Loss to breakeven. The remaining half runs to the full extension target (TP2).
3. Smart Risk Management — Calculates position size automatically based on account equity and the exact Stop Loss distance. Fixed lot mode is also available. A hard margin check runs before every order to ensure the account can support the trade.
4. Built-in Live News Filter — Fetches the full week's economic calendar on startup and refreshes it hourly. Pauses trading automatically within configurable blackout windows before and after scheduled events. Filters by impact level and currency. Fully automatic — no manual intervention required.
5. Two-Tier Drawdown Protection — Separate daily and total drawdown limits. The daily limit resets each session; the total limit permanently halts the EA once hit. Both immediately close open positions and remove pending orders when triggered, with a visual background warning on the chart.
6. Prop Firm Compatible — Daily and total drawdown protection, automatic order expiry, and strict one-trade-per-day logic are designed to align with prop firm risk rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

• "Can I use this on a prop firm?" — Yes. The daily and total drawdown protection, automatic order expiry, and one-trade-per-day logic are designed to support prop firm risk rules. Set the daily drawdown limit slightly below your firm's threshold as a safety buffer. Always review your firm's specific requirements before deploying any EA.
• "Does it work in the Strategy Tester?" — Yes. The news filter is automatically disabled in the tester since WebRequest is unavailable in that environment. Backtest results will not reflect the news filter's effect — live results will typically differ positively around major events. For realistic XAUUSD backtesting, use a fixed spread of 15–20 points.
• "What happens if a news event occurs after orders are placed?" — Pending orders within an active news window are automatically removed. Once the window closes, the EA re-places them provided the daily expiry time has not yet passed.
• "The EA was halted by total drawdown. How do I restart it?" — Remove the EA from the chart and re-attach it. This resets the equity baseline to your current equity and resumes normal operation.
• "Can I run this on other symbols?" — The strategy is designed only for XAUUSD.
