Gold Trend Rider is a rules-based Expert Advisor designed for XAUUSD on the M15 timeframe.
The EA combines 9/14/50 moving-average alignment, trend filters, market-structure Stop Loss placement and a fixed 2:1 Take Profit to Stop Loss ratio.
It does not use martingale, grid trading or averaging of losing positions.
Historical Strategy Tester results: 57.2% win rate, 1.19 profit factor and 7.50% maximum equity drawdown across 208 trades.
Designed for Traders Who Prefer Defined Rules
Many traders want an automated strategy but do not want an EA that continuously adds positions when the market moves against it.
Gold Trend Rider follows a defined entry and risk-management process:
- Identify the prevailing trend
- Confirm moving-average alignment
- Filter out conditions where the moving averages are too close or poorly aligned
- Check the distance between price and the trend structure
- Place the Stop Loss according to the configured market structure
- Use a fixed 2:1 Take Profit to Stop Loss ratio
- Manage one position at a time
The result is an EA with a clearly defined trading process that can be tested and monitored through MetaTrader 5.

How the Strategy Works
Gold Trend Rider uses three moving averages:
- Fast MA: 9
- Medium MA: 14
- Slow MA: 50
The EA evaluates their alignment before considering a trade.
Additional filters are used to avoid entering when the market does not meet the configured trend conditions.
Trend Alignment
The moving averages must satisfy the configured directional conditions before a trade can be considered.
MA Parallelism Filter
The EA checks the relationship between the moving averages to help avoid conditions where the averages are heavily compressed or poorly aligned.
Trend Distance Filter
A distance filter is used to evaluate whether price has moved sufficiently away from the moving-average structure before an entry is considered.
Market-Structure Stop Loss
The Stop Loss is based on the configured market structure rather than using an arbitrary fixed number of points.
Fixed Reward-to-Risk
The default strategy uses a 2:1 Take Profit to Stop Loss ratio.
Risk Management
Gold Trend Rider provides two position-sizing options.
Risk-Based Lot Sizing
The EA can calculate the position size according to a selected percentage of account balance.
Default setting:
0.5% risk per trade
The percentage can be adjusted by the user.
Fixed Lot Size
Users can alternatively specify a fixed lot size.
This allows the EA to be configured according to the user's own account and risk-management plan.
No Martingale or Grid
Gold Trend Rider does not use:
- Martingale
- Grid trading
- Averaging down
- Progressive lot increases after losses
The EA uses one position at a time.
Configurable Parameters
The main settings include:
- Risk percentage
- Fixed lot size
- Fast MA period
- Medium MA period
- Slow MA period
- Maximum spread
- Maximum Stop Loss distance
- Magic Number
- Trend filters
The default maximum spread setting is 50 points.
Long and Short Historical Results
