Evidence First Algo is an independent MT5 research practice operated by gavin1424. The work focuses on XAUUSD and major FX strategies, with emphasis on real-tick testing, time-ordered walk-forward validation, cost sensitivity, profit concentration, execution reliability, and low-correlation EA - Version: 1.0
- Activations: 10
Gold Multi Strategy runs five different gold strategies from a single XAUUSD chart. Each one trades a different market behaviour - quiet-session breakouts, all-day volatility expansions, London-session moves, slow H4 trends and daily range breakouts - so they rarely lose at the same time. The result is a smoother equity curve than any single strategy on its own.
THE FIVE MODULES
- M1 - Volatility squeeze breakout, M30, Asian session (00-08 server time)
- M2 - Volatility squeeze breakout, M30, all day
- M3 - Volatility squeeze breakout, H1, London session (03-12)
- M4 - EMA 15/100 trend follower with ADX filter, H4
- M5 - Dual Thrust day-range breakout, one trade per day
Each module has its own magic number, on/off switch and risk %. Run all five, or only the ones you like. The modules read their own timeframes, so the chart timeframe does not matter.
A "squeeze" is when Bollinger Bands contract inside the Keltner Channel: volatility is unusually low and a strong move often follows. The EA only takes the breakout in the direction of the long-term trend (EMA filter), and exits with an ATR stop, ATR target, break-even and ATR trailing stop.

RISK MANAGEMENT
- Every trade has a hard stop loss. No grid, no martingale, no averaging down, no hedging tricks.
- Lot size is calculated from your risk % and the stop distance, so it scales with your account.
- Daily loss limit and a margin cap protect the account on bad days.
- Optional maximum-spread filter (off by default because point sizes differ between brokers - set it for your broker if you like).
BROKER AND SETTINGS
- Session hours are broker SERVER time. Defaults were tested on a GMT+2 (winter) / GMT+3 (summer) server, which most MT5 brokers use. If your broker uses another offset, shift the session hours accordingly.
- Works with any symbol suffix (XAUUSD, XAUUSD.m, XAUUSDx ...): attach it to the chart of the symbol you want to trade.
- Requires a hedging account (the five modules can hold positions at the same time).
- A low-spread / raw-spread account is recommended. Backtests include commission of about 7 USD per lot round turn.
- Minimum deposit: 500 USD. Use 0.5-1% risk per trade; start lower on a live account.
- A VPS is recommended so the EA runs 24/5.

1. Open a XAUUSD chart (any timeframe works).
