Jara Gold X — Gold Support/Resistance Breakout EA
Jara Gold X trades XAUUSD (Gold) breakouts of real, tested support and resistance — not every random swing. It identifies levels that price has respected multiple times, arms precise stop orders around them, and manages each trade with a tight stop and an adaptive two-stage trailing exit. No martingale. No grid. No averaging down.
At a glance
- Symbol: XAUUSD (Gold) • Account: hedging
- Style: structural breakout scalper • Risk: one fixed stop per trade
- Backtested 2020–2026 on 99% real-tick data
- Fully automated — attach to one XAUUSD chart and run
How it works
The EA reads market structure from a higher timeframe and executes on a lower one. It only acts when price breaks a level that has been tested at least twice — a genuine support or resistance, not noise. Each position carries a tight protective stop from the moment it opens, then a two-stage trailing locks in profit early and gives strong moves room to run. A far take-profit acts as a safety cap.
Key features
- Tested S/R entries — breakouts of multi-touch levels, filtered by strength
- Two independent strategies in one EA, each with its own magic number
- Tight, fixed risk per trade — adaptive trailing is the primary exit
- Three money-management modes: Fixed lot , Balance step (auto-scales with equity), and Risk %
- Optional news filter (MT5 calendar, USD high-impact)
- End-of-week protection — flattens before the weekend
- Daily trade cap and direction / weekday filters
- On-chart info panel with live balance, floating P/L and session stats
- No martingale, no grid, no hedging-recovery tricks
Backtest highlights
In a 6+ year backtest (January 2020 – October 2026) on 99% real-tick history, fixed 0.01 lot:
- Profit Factor around 1.97
- Maximum drawdown under 7%
- Recovery Factor around 30
- Profitable in every one of the backtested years, across very different gold regimes
Important: past performance, including any backtest, does not guarantee future results. Trade on a demo account first and use risk you can afford to lose. Results depend on your broker's spread, commission and execution.
Recommendations
- Symbol: XAUUSD (Gold). One chart is enough.
- Broker: low-spread ECN/Raw account with fast execution

- Minimum deposit: from 300 USD/EUR with the default auto-scaling; more is safer
