#### How to Use
1. **Install the EA** — Copy the EA file to your MT5 `Experts` folder. Restart MT5 or refresh the Navigator panel.
2. **Attach to Chart** — Open an XAUUSD M15 chart and drag the EA onto it.
3. **Configure Settings:**
- Set your **Lot Size** based on your account balance. The recommended ratio is **$15,000 per 0.01 lot** (or 15,000 cents per 0.01 lot for cent accounts).
- If you have $30,000, you can use 0.02 lot. Scale proportionally.
- Adjust the **Magic Number** if you run multiple EAs on the same account.
- For beginners, keep the Grid, TP, and Breakeven settings at default (500 points each).
4. **Risk Management Setup:**
- Set **Max Drawdown %** to your comfort level (e.g., 30-50%) to pause new orders during deep drawdowns.
- Optionally enable **DD Cut-All** and set a percentage (e.g., 50-70%) as your absolute maximum loss threshold.
5. **Enable Auto Trading** — Make sure the Auto Trading button in MT5 is enabled (green icon in toolbar).
6. **Let It Run** — The EA operates 24/5 automatically. No need to monitor constantly. Check on it periodically.
#### Important Notes
- **Do not close orders manually** unless absolutely necessary. The EA manages all positions and has its own closing logic.
- **VPS recommended** — For best results, run the EA on a VPS with low latency to your broker.
- **Spread matters** — Use a broker with low spread on XAUUSD for better performance.
- **Backtest first** — Always run a backtest on your broker's data before going live.
- Past performance does not guarantee future results. Trade responsibly.
