GoldStrata PRO - XAUUSD Multi-Horizon Market-Structure Breakout EA
=====================================================================
XAUUSD EA trading 24h and 48h structure breaks 08:00-12:00 New York time. Swing-structure stop and trail, scale-in at +3R, scale-out at -0.5R, drawdown governor. Auto/fixed lot. No grid, no martingale.
GoldStrata PRO trades gold (XAUUSD / GOLD) using only price structure. It uses no indicators. Every position carries a stop-loss from the moment its order is placed.
HOW IT TRADES
1. Two structure engines.
• Engine 1 arms buy and sell stops at the 24-hour high and low.
• Engine 2 does the same at the 48-hour high and low (hedging accounts).
2. New York clock. Entries are only taken 08:00-12:00 ET, the deepest liquidity of the gold day.
• US daylight saving is built in, so the window stays on New York time on any broker server.
3. Risk.
• The stop sits behind the last confirmed 10-bar swing, with a 2.0 $ minimum.
• It then ratchets to each new swing and never loosens.
4. Scale-in. At +3R the EA adds one unit, then tightens the stop so the total open risk never exceeds the original 1R.
5. Scale-out. If price moves -0.5R before any add, half of the initial lot is closed. Losing trades cost less.
6. Exits: by the structure trail, after 8 hours maximum, or before the weekend.
DRAWDOWN PROTECTION
• Governor: risk is halved while the portfolio is more than 4R below its peak.
• Daily loss limit (default 2%).
• Optional equity guard.
SETTING TYPES (one dropdown, no .set files needed)
Pick "Setting type" in the EA inputs:
• Conservative, Balanced (default), Growth, Aggressive, or Custom.
• Every preset uses identical entries, exits and scaling. Only the risk per engine and the daily-loss limit change.
• Custom unlocks the manual risk, daily-loss and equity-guard inputs.
HISTORICAL SIMULATION (XAUUSD M1, Mar-2009 to Dec-2023, 0.30 $/oz cost + slippage, deposit 10,000, governor ON)
| Setting type | Risk / engine | Total return | CAGR | Max DD | Last 5 yrs | Profitable years |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conservative | 0.10% | +55% | 3.0% | -2.9% | +11.3% | 14/15 |
| Balanced | 0.20% | +138% | 6.0% | -5.8% | +23.6% | 14/15 |
| Growth | 0.40% | +453% | 12.3% | -11.3% | +51.4% | 14/15 |
| Aggressive | 0.75% | +2,168% | 23.5% | -20.2% | +111.6% | 14/15 |
• Win rate: about 38.4%. The edge comes from small losses and large trend days.
• Daily-loss limits were not modelled in the simulation. At these risk levels they rarely trigger.
• These figures come from an independent research engine, not an MT5 Strategy Tester report.
• Test in your own Strategy Tester before trading live. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
POSITION SIZING AND HYGIENE
Sizing:
• Auto lot (risk % of equity, using the broker's OrderCalcProfit) or fixed lot.
• Min/max/step/limit volume handling and a margin pre-check.
Broker checks:
• Spread filter that works identically on 2- and 3-digit quotes.
• Trade sessions, close-only / long-only / short-only symbols, and stale quotes.
• Stops and freeze levels, filling and expiry fallbacks, pending-order limits.
Account handling:
• Hedging and netting accounts. On netting accounts engine 2 is disabled automatically.
NOTIFICATIONS
• Channels: alert, push, e-mail and Telegram.
• Events: trade opened, scale-in, scale-out, exits, and cycle closed with its result in R.
RECOMMENDED SETUP
• Instrument: XAUUSD, any chart timeframe (the EA reads M1 data). ECN/raw account, spread at or below 0.30.
• Running: a VPS, with the broker clock setting left on Auto.
• Strategy Tester: "Every tick based on real ticks".
WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
No grid, no martingale, no averaging down, no DLLs.
RISK WARNING
Trading leveraged products carries a high risk of loss.
