Trend-Following Gold EA Built for Prop Firm Compliance
Gold Guardian EA trades XAUUSD using a classic, non-repainting trend-following strategy enhanced with an institutional-grade risk engine designed for prop firm challenges (FTMO, 5%ers, Finotive, FundedNext, The Funded Trader) and funded accounts.
Strategy Logic (All Signals on Closed Bars — Zero Repainting)
Entry Conditions:
- Long: EMA(20) crosses above EMA(50) AND RSI(14) > 55 AND ADX(14) > 25
- Short: EMA(20) crosses below EMA(50) AND RSI(14) < 45 AND ADX(14) > 25
Why This Combination Works on XAUUSD:
| Component | Purpose | Why Gold |
|---|---|---|
| EMA(20) x EMA(50) Cross | Trend direction identification | Gold trends persist on M15/H1 |
| RSI(14) Filter | Momentum confirmation | Avoids choppy entries in ranging gold |
| ADX(14) > 25 Filter | Trend strength validation | Filters low-ADX fakeouts common in gold |
| ATR(14) x 2 Stop Loss | Volatility-adaptive protection | Gold volatility changes daily |
Exit Logic:
- Stop Loss: ATR(14) x 2 (dynamic, volatility-adaptive)
- Take Profit: 1:2 or 1:3 risk-reward (configurable)
- Trailing Stop: Optional, ATR-based
- Time Exit: Optional close at session end
Prop Firm Risk Engine (Built-In)
1. Hard Daily Loss Cap (Equity Kill Switch)
When daily equity loss exceeds your firm limit: all positions closed, new trades blocked instantly. Works on equity (includes floating P&L).
2. Maximum Drawdown Guard
Second defense layer. Protects against slow bleed that kills challenges.
3. Session-Aware Risk Scaling
Auto-reduces position size during high-volatility sessions: London Open (08:00–09:00 UTC), NY Open (13:00–14:00 UTC), Overlap (13:00–16:00 UTC).
4. Economic Calendar News Filter
Pauses trading 15 min before/after high-impact events (NFP, CPI, FOMC, ECB, BoE). Uses MQL5 built-in calendar — no external API.
5. Fixed Fractional Position Sizing
Every trade risks exactly 1.5% of current equity — compounds correctly, survives drawdowns.
6. Position Limits
Prevents overtrading and correlation risk.
