AurumBreak XAU Pro

AurumBreak XAU Pro v2.00

is a structure-breakout Expert Advisor for XAUUSD on the M15 timeframe. It trades confirmed breaks of market structure that are validated by a volatility-expansion gate, and manages every position with ATR-based stops, an R-multiple take profit, breakeven, trailing and layered capital protection. The system does not use grid, martingale or averaging down.

How the signal works

The engine tracks pivot legs on two horizons at the same time: swing and internal. A signal is only accepted when a bar closes beyond the last confirmed pivot level, so the signal never repaints after the fact. Internal breaks that run against the swing bias are skipped, which keeps the system on the side of the dominant direction.

On top of the structure logic, a volatility-expansion gate requires the closed ATR to exceed a defined share of the highest ATR inside the lookback window. This is the filter that keeps the EA out of flat, dead ranges. RSI and ADX confirmation can be switched on independently for momentum and trend, and a tuned 24-hour map blocks the hours that statistically hurt the system. For that schedule you only need to set your broker's GMT offset, so the tuned hours stay aligned with your server.

Exit and trade management

Stop loss and take profit are derived from ATR, so the trade geometry adapts to volatility instead of relying on fixed point distances. Take profit is expressed as a multiple of the actual stop distance, which keeps risk and reward proportional on every trade. Breakeven and the trailing stop move in single steps of the initial risk, never in raw points.

An optional scale-in function adds further legs only after a defined profit distance has been reached, and it always respects a per-side leg cap.

Risk and capital protection

The EA can limit the daily loss as a percentage of start-of-day equity, and it enforces a maximum risk for a single position as well as a maximum combined risk for all open positions, both measured against equity. Exposure is capped by position count and total volume. A loss-run pause stops new entries after a defined number of consecutive losses, for a defined number of hours, and a minimum margin-level guard blocks trading when the account gets too close to a margin call. Volume is automatically reduced to fit free margin before an order is sent.

Position sizing

Volume can be fixed, or compounded as a risk percentage of equity. An optional season sizing mode grows the volume after consecutive wins and shrinks it after consecutive losses, always within a configurable floor and with a mandatory reset period back at base size. Every volume is normalised to the symbol's step, minimum and maximum before it is used.

On-chart panel

A compact display-only dashboard shows trading status, server hour and filter state, the current spread against your limit, daily profit and loss against the limit, loss guard state, margin level, swing and internal bias, live RSI, ADX and ATR readings, the volatility gate distance, open buy and sell positions, current exposure and the next calculated volume. The panel never changes trading logic, and it switches off automatically in the strategy tester and during optimization.

Backtest summary

The figures below come from the strategy tester on XAUUSDm, M15, from 1 January 2026 to 2 November 2026, using real ticks with 100% history quality, an initial deposit of 200 USD and leverage of 1:100.

Net profit was 2 332.84 USD with a profit factor of 3.76. The test closed 141 trades, of which 94 were profitable, a win rate of 66.67%.

The average profit trade was 33.79 and the average loss trade was -17.95. Maximal equity drawdown reached 9.68% and maximal balance drawdown was 2.47%. The largest profit trade was 242.75 and the largest loss trade was -48.74. The recovery factor was 15.22 with an expected payoff of 16.54, and the average position holding time was 2 hours 49 minutes. The test ran over 19 711 bars and 79 250 029 ticks.

Inputs

The risk profile input offers Conservative, Balanced or Aggressive, and shifts filter strictness, leg caps and volatility-gate thresholds together, so you do not have to tune each threshold by hand. The volume group controls the sizing mode, risk percent, fixed volume and volume cap. The filters group covers momentum, trend, time-of-day and the volatility gate, plus the broker GMT offset. Season sizing exposes the win factor, maximum win run, maximum loss run, reset length, loss factor and floor percent. Protection groups breakeven, trailing, scale-in per side, leg caps, daily loss, per-trade risk, total risk, loss-run pause and margin level. A session group adds an optional local-time window, and the execution group holds the magic number, order tag, maximum spread, slippage, verbose log and the dashboard switch.

Recommended setup

Run the EA on XAUUSD, or on any gold symbol that carries a suffix such as XAUUSDm or XAUUSDc, on the M15 timeframe, because both the engine and the time schedule are calibrated there. Hedging and netting accounts are both supported, though a hedging account matches the tested behaviour more closely since the system is designed to hold positions in both directions. Set the GMT offset input to your broker's server offset before you start. For continuous execution, run the EA on a VPS, attach it to one chart per account, and keep the magic number unique if you also run other Expert Advisors.

Important notes

AurumBreak XAU Pro is a breakout system, so it does not trade every day. Expect quiet periods when volatility does not expand, and expect the volatility gate to skip entries. That behaviour is intentional and part of the design, not a fault.

The results shown above come from a specific broker's data over a specific period. Spread, swap, execution quality and gold volatility differ between brokers, so your own results will differ as well. Always test the EA on a demo account with your own broker before trading real money, and choose a risk percentage you can survive through a losing streak.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Trading leveraged instruments carries a high risk of loss.
