Tommy The Gold Scalper MT5 is an automated trading system developed specifically for trading XAUUSD (Gold) on MetaTrader 5.
The Expert Advisor is designed around short-term Gold trading and automated trade management. It continuously monitors market conditions, evaluates trading opportunities according to its programmed strategy, executes positions automatically, and manages open trades using predefined trading and risk-management rules.
Tommy was developed with a focus on disciplined execution, controlled exposure, and consistent application of trading logic. The objective is not to predict every market movement, but to identify conditions that match the strategy and execute them without emotional intervention.
The system is intended for traders who want to automate their Gold trading strategy while retaining control over important parameters such as position size and risk.
Key Features
Developed Specifically for XAUUSD
Tommy is designed specifically for Gold trading. Instead of applying the same strategy across multiple unrelated instruments, its trading logic is focused on the characteristics and price behavior of XAUUSD.
Fully Automated Execution
Once configured and activated, Tommy can manage the complete trading process automatically.
The system monitors the market, identifies valid trading conditions, executes positions, manages active trades, and closes positions according to its programmed rules.
Short-Term Trading Logic
The strategy is designed to identify short-term trading opportunities in XAUUSD.
Gold can move quickly during active market periods. Automated execution allows the system to respond to qualifying conditions without requiring continuous manual monitoring.
Rule-Based Trading
Every trading decision is based on predefined algorithmic conditions.
Tommy does not make discretionary or emotional decisions. The same trading logic is applied consistently whenever the required market conditions are present.
Automated Position Management
After entering the market, Tommy continues to monitor and manage active positions.
Trade management is handled according to the strategy's predefined rules and configured parameters.
Risk Management
Risk management is integrated into the trading system.
Users can configure supported parameters according to their account balance, broker conditions, and individual risk tolerance.
Position size should always be selected carefully. Increasing lot size increases both potential return and potential drawdown.
Stop Loss Management
The system supports Stop Loss management to maintain defined risk exposure when market conditions move against an open position.
Take Profit Management
Take Profit functionality is incorporated into the trade-management process and can be used to manage profitable positions according to the selected configuration.
Trailing Management
Where enabled, trailing functionality can dynamically manage an open position as the market moves in a favorable direction.
Configurable Parameters
Tommy provides configurable trading and risk-management parameters, allowing users to adjust supported settings according to their trading environment and risk preferences.

Risk and Lot SizeThere is no universal lot size suitable for every account.
The appropriate position size depends on account balance, leverage, broker conditions, trading configuration, and the amount of risk the trader is prepared to accept.
Users should begin with conservative risk settings and evaluate the system before increasing position size.
Higher position sizes can substantially increase drawdown as well as potential returns.
