Azimuth Gold MT5 EA
Azimuth Gold MT5 EA is an Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5, designed with gold trading in mind. It can trade the chart symbol or a custom symbol entered in the EA settings.
The EA uses its internal signal rules and can open buy or sell trades with configurable position sizing, stop loss, take profit, and trailing stop settings. No external custom indicators are required.

How It Works
The EA evaluates its internal trading rules and checks the configured spread and account limits before opening a trade. It submits market buy or sell orders with the selected stop loss and take profit. When enabled, the trailing stop adjusts the stop loss as price moves favorably.
Automatic lot sizing is calculated from the account balance and selected sizing level. The level is a lot-sizing setting, not a stated percentage risk per trade. The EA skips an entry if the calculated lot size is below the broker’s minimum or if the available margin is insufficient.
Inputs
01 | Lot Size
- ae_auto_lot — Enable automatic lot sizing. Default: true.
- ae_risk — Select automatic lot-sizing level 0–4. Higher levels generally request larger lots. This is not a percentage risk setting.
- ae_manual_lot — Fixed lot size when automatic sizing is disabled. Default: 0.01.
02 | Stops and Targets
- ae_stop_loss — Stop loss distance in symbol points. Set to 0 to disable. Default: 3000.
- ae_take_profit — Take profit distance in symbol points. Set to 0 to disable. Default: 700.
- ae_use_trailing — Enable trailing stop. Default: true.
- ae_trail_distance — Trailing stop distance in symbol points. Default: 300.
- ae_trail_step — Minimum favorable movement in points before the stop is updated. Default: 50.
03 | Account Limits
- ae_use_loss_limits — Enable daily and total equity loss limits. Default: false.
- ae_daily_loss_pct — Daily equity loss threshold for stopping new entries. Default: 5.0%.
- ae_total_loss_pct — Total equity loss threshold for stopping new entries. Default: 10.0%.
- ae_max_spread — Maximum permitted spread in symbol points. New entries are skipped above this value. Default: 500.
- ae_max_slippage — Maximum price deviation in points for trade execution. Default: 100.
The loss limits stop new entries when reached; they do not close existing positions. Point values depend on the broker’s symbol specification.

- InpTradeSymbol — Exact broker symbol name to use when custom symbol selection is enabled.
06 | EA Info
