Developer Introduction
I specialize in developing automated trading systems with a focus on consistency, disciplined risk management, and long-term stability.
I don't believe in "holy grail" strategies. Every trading system goes through winning and losing periods—the key is controlling risk and allowing the statistical edge to play out over time.
Through SmiteFX, I build Expert Advisors and trading tools designed to help traders achieve sustainable results rather than chase unrealistic returns.
Product Overview
Fortress is an automated breakout Expert Advisor developed primarily for XAUUSD on MetaTrader 4 & 5.
The EA utilizes multiple confirmation algorithms and internal strategies to identify optimal breakout points at key support and resistance levels. Position sizing and trade frequency automatically adjust to the user's account balance and maximum drawdown settings, although user can also set a preferred trade frequency level.
Every trade is protected by a stop-loss and take-profit, enhanced by trailing features to secure profits and minimize exposure.
Fortress places greater emphasis on:
- Identifying clean breakout and breakdown zones
- Entering only when the setup conditions are met
-
Managing each trade according to the user’s defined risk tolerance
-
Maintaining a clean single-entry approach for each confirmation algorithms
Dynamic Risk Management, Not Fixed Rules
Fortress does not use high-risk recovery methods:
- No martingale
- No grid trading
- No averaging down
- No recovery stacking
Each trade is treated as an independent setup and is managed with predefined risk control.
Users can let the EA adjust the position sizing and trade frequency automatically. This makes Fortress suitable for both conservative and more active trading styles, depending on the user’s chosen settings.
Why Fortress Does Not Pursue High-Frequency Trading
Fortress is not designed to open trades continuously throughout the day.
The EA waits for specific breakout or breakdown conditions before entering the market. This means there may be periods where no trades are opened, especially when the market is ranging, unclear, or lacking strong momentum.
Fortress prioritizes setup quality over trade frequency. This disciplined approach is intended to reduce unnecessary entries and maintain a more structured trading process.
About Backtesting and Live Trading Results
Fortress can be tested in the MetaTrader 4 & 5 Strategy Tester using XAUUSD historical data.
Backtesting is useful for understanding the EA’s logic, trade behavior, and risk profile. However, live trading conditions may differ due to spread, slippage, broker execution, liquidity, VPS latency, and market volatility.
For this reason, backtest results should not be viewed as a guarantee of future performance. Live signal monitoring and forward performance provide additional reference for how the EA performs under real market conditions.
Users should always test the EA on demo first and select risk settings that match their own account size and tolerance.
Recommended Timeframe
It is recommended to attach Fortress to the 15-minute (M15) chart.
Fortress is developed primarily for XAUUSD, and the M15 timeframe provides a balanced structure for identifying breakout and breakdown zones without reacting to excessive short-term noise.
The timeframe itself does not guarantee performance, but using the recommended M15 chart helps the EA evaluate recent market structure more clearly and execute its breakout logic more consistently.
System Positioning
Fortress is designed for traders who prefer:
- Structured breakout trading
- Clear Stop Loss and Take Profit levels
- User-defined percentage risk per trade
- A clean single-entry approach
- No grid, no martingale, and no recovery stacking
- Lower trade frequency with more selective entries
Fortress is not designed to open trades continuously or chase every market movement. The EA waits for suitable breakout or breakdown conditions before entering the market.
It is not a “guaranteed profit” tool, but an automated trading system built around disciplined execution, controlled risk, and transparent trade management.
Project Philosophy and Transparency
The goal of Fortress is to pursue structured, risk-controlled XAUUSD trading without relying on dangerous recovery methods.
There are no promises of quick profits, account doubling, or overnight wealth. Fortress is built around a long-term approach that values:
- Risk control
- Clear trade logic
- Realistic expectations
- Transparent backtesting and live signal monitoring
- Continuous improvement based on forward performance
Live performance and backtest results are shown as reference material only. They are not guarantees of future results.
Risk Disclaimer
Trading involves risk. No automated trading system can guarantee profits, and past performance does not guarantee future results.
Gold is a volatile instrument, and trading results may be affected by spread, slippage, broker execution, liquidity, VPS latency, leverage, and the user’s selected risk settings.
Please test Fortress thoroughly on a demo account and make sure you understand the EA’s logic, risk settings, and trade behavior before using it on a live account.

I've been using Fortress EA for a while now and I'm very satisfied with it. Installation and setup were straightforward, and the EA has been running smoothly on my account. I particularly like the clear risk management, the use of real stop losses and the fact that it doesn't rely on martingale or grid strategies. It doesn't overtrade and waits for its setups, which I appreciate. So far, a solid and well-designed EA. Looking forward to seeing how it performs over the longer term.
