OB MTF Gold EA — Multi-Confirmation Trend System for XAUUSD
Trading gold successfully means filtering out the noise that catches most single-signal systems off guard. This EA doesn't rely on one indicator — it only opens a trade when three independent confirmations align on the same direction at the exact same moment:
🔹 RSI Momentum Trend — sticky trend-state filter that ignores weak, indecisive momentum
🔹 Range Breakout (adaptive ATR channel) — waits for a genuine dip-and-return price action instead of chasing the first spike
🔹 Composite Oscillator — blends trend, momentum, volatility and volume pressure into one confirmation gate, so entries only fire when every condition truly lines up
If even one confirmation is missing, no trade is taken. No guessing, no "gut feeling" entries — every decision is fully rule-based and logged.

ATR-based trailing stop to lock in profits as price moves in your favor
Optional staged partial take-profit driven by OBV divergence — no more all-or-nothing exits

Adaptive risk:reward ratio that adjusts based on recent trade performance
⚠️ Risk Disclosure
The backtest above used aggressive position sizing relative to the $300 starting balance, reflected in the 70% equity drawdown figure. This EA is fully customizable — risk per trade and maximum risk multiplier can be tuned to a more conservative profile depending on your account size and risk tolerance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always test on a demo account first.
💡 Recommended Usage
For best results, run the EA for 1–4 months, then withdraw accumulated profits and restart on the account (or withdraw monthly). This keeps position sizing anchored to a fresh base balance instead of letting risk compound indefinitely on undrawn profits.
🛡️ Recommended Settings for Conservative Trading
The backtest above used aggressive sizing to stress-test the strategy's edge on a small account. For live trading, especially on larger balances, we recommend scaling these inputs to your own risk tolerance:
BaseRiskUSD — set to roughly 1–2% of your account balance per trade, rather than a fixed high-dollar value
MaxRiskMultiplier — can stay at 3.0, but starting from a lower base risk makes the scaling curve much smoother as balance grows
Fixed_SL_Distance_USD — adjust proportionally so stop-loss distance stays aligned with your chosen risk per trade
Min_SL_Points — keep as a safety floor to avoid stops that are too tight for gold's volatility
Tuning these three inputs together typically reduces both the equity drawdown and the swing size of the equity curve, at the cost of a proportionally smaller absolute profit — a trade-off most traders on real accounts prefer over the aggressive small-account stress test shown above.
Built specifically for XAUUSD — for traders who want a transparent, disciplined, rules-based approach to gold instead of a black-box "magic signal" system.
