Confluence v2 — Fib OTE + VWAP + Volume Profile Gold EA
Smart-money confluence EA for XAUUSD M15. Trades the Fibonacci OTE zone only when it lines up with Daily/Weekly VWAP and the Volume-Profile value area — graded by a 2–4 star confluence filter. Fixed SL/TP, hard risk caps, no martingale, no grid.
## FULL DESCRIPTION
CONFLUENCE v2 — an Expert Advisor that trades only high-probability "smart money" confluence setups on Gold (XAUUSD), M15.
Most EAs fire on a single signal. Confluence v2 waits until FOUR independent edges agree before it takes a trade:
1. Fibonacci OTE — price pulls back into the Optimal Trade Entry zone (0.50–0.79) of a qualified impulse leg.
2. Daily & Weekly VWAP (±1 sigma) — the zone is confirmed by institutional volume-weighted price.
3. Volume Profile value area — the setup sits inside the area where real volume traded.
4. Star confluence filter (2–4) — each source that agrees adds a star. The EA only trades 2–4 star setups: strong enough to matter, not the over-extended "5-star" traps.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
• NO martingale, NO grid, NO averaging-down. One position at a time.
• Every trade has a FIXED stop-loss and a FIXED take-profit before entry (1.272 fib extension target, SL beyond the leg origin + ATR buffer).
• Built-in daily loss circuit-breaker and optional break-even module.
• Risk is either a fixed lot or a % risk model you choose.
• Minimum impulse-leg filter (2× ATR) ignores choppy, low-energy zones.
VALIDATED BACKTEST (XAUUSD M15, $10,000 start, 0.02 lot, 26 days)
• 86 trades
• Win rate 46.5% · Profit Factor 1.91
• Net +$863 · Max drawdown only ~$206
• Risk:Reward ~1:1.27 with the star filter doing the heavy lifting on quality
(Past performance does not guarantee future results — see disclaimer below.)
DESIGNED FOR
• Symbol: XAUUSD (Gold). Works on other symbols but defaults are tuned for Gold.
• Timeframe: M15 (this is the validated timeframe — running other TFs changes behavior).
• Account: hedging or netting, low-spread broker recommended (max spread guard included).
• Min deposit: $300+ at 0.01 lot; scale lot with balance.
A free Confluence v2 INDICATOR is also available — it draws the exact same OTE zone, entry/SL/TP lines and star rating on your chart so you can see every setup the EA sees.
HOW TO USE
1. Attach to an XAUUSD M15 chart.
2. Enable AlgoTrading.
3. Keep the validated defaults (or set a fixed lot under Risk).
4. Leave it running — it only acts when a 2–4 star confluence forms.
