Fractal7 Gold EA
- Experts
- Version: 2.41
- Mise à jour: 4 octobre 2026
- Activations: 15
Fractal7 EA is a fully automated Expert Advisor for XAUUSD (Gold) on the H4 timeframe, built around B. W. fractal indicator applied across three timeframes simultaneously.
The strategy is simple but powerful: it only enters a trade when the Weekly (W1), Daily (D1), and 4-Hour (H4) trends are all aligned in the same direction. This triple confirmation filter eliminates low-quality signals and keeps the system in high-probability setups.
No martingale. No grid. No averaging. One trade at a time.
Launch discount.
The first 5 people will pay only USD 45.00.
After that, the price will return to USD 99.00.
How It Works
1 — Direction (Weekly W1)
The EA reads the Weekly fractal structure to determine the dominant trend. Only long trades are taken in a W1 uptrend; only short trades in a W1 downtrend.
2 — Opportunity (Daily D1)
Within the W1 trend, a D1 fractal breakout confirms the trade opportunity. The EA waits for the market to move in the direction of the higher timeframe bias.
3 — Entry Trigger (H4)
The actual entry is triggered by an H4 fractal breakout in the direction confirmed by both W1 and D1. Stop Loss is placed below/above the most recent H4 fractal with a configurable buffer.
Trade Management
The EA includes three intelligent management layers:
- Breakeven — moves Stop Loss to entry price (with optional profit lock) when the trade reaches a configurable % of the target distance (default: 30%)
- Fractal Trailing Stop — trails the Stop Loss to each new H4 fractal printed in the trade direction, locking in profits progressively
- TP Extension System — when the trade approaches the Take Profit level, instead of closing, it optionally extends the TP and adjusts the SL, allowing the trade to ride strong trends further

Backtest & Demo Tips
⚠ Before running a backtest, set MostrarPainel = false. The floating panel redraws on every tick and will slow the Strategy Tester significantly. Re-enable it for live/demo use.
✅ Use "Every tick based on real ticks" mode for accurate results.
✅ Test a minimum of 12 months to cover both trending and ranging conditions.
✅ Enable LogDetalhado = true on demo to see the full analysis in the Experts Journal.
✅ Start demo with 0.5–1% risk per trade and observe at least 4–6 trades before evaluating.
✅ Run on a VPS with latency below 10 ms to your broker for best execution.
✅ Match your broker's tick data — different brokers may give different historical quality.

Requirements
- Symbol: XAUUSD (Gold)
- Timeframe: H4
- Platform: MetaTrader 5 only
- Minimum Deposit: $500 (recommended $1,000+)
- Broker: Any — ECN preferred for tighter spreads
- VPS: Strongly recommended for 24/5 uninterrupted execution
Notes
- The EA trades infrequently by design — quality over quantity (approx. 1–2 setups per month).
- If no trade opens for several weeks, check the floating panel's Entry Checklist — it shows live [OK]/[--] status for each filter.
- Spreads above 30 points on XAUUSD may slightly affect results.
- Works best in trending Gold market conditions.
💡 Recommended Risk Setting
For consistent long-term results, use between 0.5% and 1.0% risk per trade. This is the range used in our backtest (1% risk) and provides a healthy balance between growth and drawdown control.
- 0.5% — conservative, ideal for the first months on a new account or broker
- 1.0% — balanced, matches the backtest parameters shown above
- Above 1.5% — not recommended; drawdowns compound faster than the win rate compensates
Set Use Percentage Risk = true and RiskPercent = 1.0 (or 0.5 to start) in the EA inputs.
