Breakout XAUUSD Pro with sophisticatedly calculated risk managing stop loss and lot sizing.
No Martingale, No Hedging, No Gridding. Pure Trading
Trades the daily range breakout with a stop loss that adapts to real market volatility — not a fixed number that gets blown out on a wild day.
How It Works
At a chosen server hour each day, the EA marks the previous day's high and low, then places pending Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders just beyond that range with a configurable point buffer. Whichever level breaks first triggers the trade — the opposite pending order can be cancelled or left active depending on your setup.
Key Features
🎯 ATR-Based Stop Loss
Stop loss distance is calculated from the Average True Range, scaled by a multiplier you control. This means your risk automatically widens on volatile days and tightens on calm ones while maintaining proper risk management — instead of a static SL getting stopped out by normal noise.
💰 Fixed Dollar Take Profit
Take profit is set as a straight dollar amount per trade, giving you predictable, easy-to-plan reward targets regardless of the instrument's point value.
📊 Dynamic Lot Sizing
Position size scales automatically with your account balance using a configurable aggression factor — so your risk grows (or shrinks) proportionally as your account does, with a hard maximum lot cap to keep you in control.
🔒 Two-Stage Trailing Stop
- Trigger Phase: once price moves in your favor by a set amount, the SL jumps to lock in a partial gain
- Active Trail Phase: from there, the stop trails price at a fixed distance, only ever moving in your favor — protecting profit while letting winners run

DISCLAIMER
Trading foreign exchange, GOLD, and CFDs involves substantial risk and may not be suitable for every investor. Past performance does not guarantee future results, and losses are possible.
Results may vary between brokers and trading accounts due to differences in execution conditions, spreads, slippage, liquidity, and technical infrastructure.
Although XAU Breakout EA uses predefined risk controls, Stop Loss protection, selective execution, and automated trade management, no system can eliminate trading risk or guarantee identical results.
Testing the EA on a demo account before using real capital is strongly recommended.

The XAU Breakout EA does not chase the market. It waits. It strikes. It protects.
