Gold Street

Default, approved preset: Gold (XAUUSD) • M5 ⛏️🟡
Recommended usage: run exactly with the factory preset for best results ✅

One-liner:
GoldStreetEA is a disciplined, rules-based Expert Advisor you can run fully automated or semi-manual. It ships pre-tuned for Gold/M5 and is intended to be used as is. If you seek different behavior or markets, adjust inputs only after your own backtests and forward tests.

✨ Value at a glance

• Two modes, one engine

  • Auto Mode: hands-off entries and management based on a consistent trend-momentum framework.

  • Assistant Mode: you place BUY/SELL manually while the EA manages risk and flats on model reversal — perfect for discretionary traders who want rule-based discipline on exits.

• Risk discipline by design

  • A hard Stop-Loss is placed on every trade.

  • Take-profit is closed by the EA (no manual TP chasing).

• Trading style

  • Default exposure is single, directional per symbol (no hedging tricks, no grid; clean workflow).

  • Frequency: low–moderate — typically about 3–5 trades per day depending on conditions (not HFT, not tick scalping).

  • Holding time: usually minutes to hours.

• Clean, market-friendly build

  • Lightweight: no DLLs and no external files.

  • Works with hedging and netting accounts; clear magic separation.

• Optional capabilities for advanced users

  • Martingale (optional) is supported for those who intentionally want controlled scaling — OFF in the default preset and not required for the strategy to work.

🟡 The Default, Approved Preset — Gold (XAUUSD), M5

This is the launch-ready configuration we recommend. It’s the preset that delivered positive internal runs over more than a year in our own testing (your results will vary).

• Use the preset exactly as delivered.

• Trailing Stop: OFF in the factory preset (intentionally).

• ADX filter: OFF in the factory preset (intentionally).

• Spread discipline and a practical trading window are already configured in a balanced way.

• This profile is the reference for our documentation, screenshots, and guidance.

If you enable features or switch symbols/timeframes, you are creating a new profile. Please treat it as a separate setup and validate it with your own backtests and demo forward tests before live use.

🧠 Operating Modes (how you actually trade with it)

Auto Mode — fully automated flow

• The EA scans for qualified setups and executes with a hard SL.

• Take-profit is managed and closed by the EA (basket or single-position logic as configured).

• No excessive order spam; the style is measured and deliberate.

Assistant Mode — semi-manual flow for discretionary traders

• You choose entries with on-chart BUY/SELL buttons or your own order placement.

• The EA helps manage risk and exits to flat on model reversal so your discretionary entry gets a rules-based exit.

• Ideal when you want your judgment on entries but prefer robotic discipline for managing the position.

📊 Manual Edge: The Seven Visual Tiles (your on-chart copilot)

GoldStreetEA shows seven compact tiles at the top of your chart. Each tile reflects a key lens on market conditions and turns 🟢 green (bullish), 🔴 red (bearish), or ⚪ gray (neutral/out-of-range). They are deliberately designed to be fast to read and hard to misinterpret:

1. RSI — quick momentum regime.

2. Ichimoku — composite trend view (TK/Cloud/Trend with optional Chikou).

3. ADX — directional strength context (useful when you care about trend energy).

4. EMA Trend — price versus anchor EMA with a neutral buffer.

5. MTF EMA — multi-timeframe consensus (e.g., lower/mid/higher TF alignment).

6. SuperTrend — simplified trend state for actionable bias.

7. ATR vs Spread — regime health: is volatility sensible relative to current costs/liquidity?

How to use them in practice (Assistant Mode):

• Build a bias: when a majority of tiles lean the same way (e.g., 4+ green for longs) and regime health looks okay (ATR tile not warning), a manual entry has better odds of fitting the strategy’s context.

• Plan exits quickly: if SuperTrend flips or the overall balance shifts to neutral/opposite, consider securing profits or reducing risk.

• Stay out when mixed/gray: the tiles discourage low-quality, “nothing’s aligned” situations — a visual permission to wait.

In the default Auto Mode, only the built-in safety filters are used for entries; the panel is primarily informational. In Assistant Mode, it becomes your checklist for fast, confident decisions.

🔒 Risk Management and Behavior (clear & simple)

• Stop-Loss: always placed, always respected.

• Take-Profit: closed by the EA via its internal logic; you can rely on a rule-based exit without having to chase price manually.

• Spread discipline: trading only in normal spread conditions; the EA can avoid abnormal cost spikes.

• Trading window: you can restrict days/hours to your preferred sessions and avoid illiquid times if needed.

• Order types: market orders (no pending-order spam).

• No news-spike exploitation, no latency/quote arbitrage, no copy-trading.

• Typical frequency: ~3–5 trades/day (varies with volatility and conditions).

• Default exposure: single, directional per symbol (simple and transparent).

➕ About Martingale (capability vs. default)

GoldStreetEA supports controlled martingale as an optional capability for advanced users who intentionally want a scaling approach.

• In the factory preset for Gold/M5, martingale is OFF and not required for the EA’s logic to produce trades.

• If you choose to enable it, understand you are changing the risk profile. Treat it as a new profile and validate it carefully with your own backtests and forward tests before any live use.

🌍 Running other symbols/timeframes (advanced, optional)

The engine is capable of handling other instruments and timeframes. However:

• Do not assume the Gold/M5 preset is portable. Each market has its own volatility, cost structure, and microstructure quirks.

• If you want to adapt GoldStreetEA beyond its default scope, review and tune inputs with care, and test on your broker’s data.

• Keep risk conservative while you explore alternative profiles.

🧭 Who is GoldStreetEA for?

• Traders who value consistency over noise, prefer measured frequency, and want clear risk discipline.

• Discretionary traders who love to time entries themselves but want rules-based exits and helpful visual regime context.

• Prop-firm participants who need a clean operational footprint (no HFT, no spam, no news exploit) and transparent risk behavior (SL on every trade, TP handled by the EA).

🚀 Quick Start (recommended path)

1. Attach GoldStreetEA to XAUUSD, M5.

2. Do not change the inputs. Run the factory preset exactly as delivered.

3. Choose Auto Mode for hands-off, or Assistant Mode if you plan to trade manually with the visual tiles as your guide.

4. Validate on a demo with your broker’s data; when satisfied, go live with conservative risk.

❓ Extended FAQ

A: It supports martingale as an optional feature for advanced users. In the default preset, martingale is OFF.

Q: How often does it trade?
A: It’s low–moderate frequency. Typical conditions see about 3–5 trades per day, but this naturally varies with volatility and market structure.

⚠️ Important reminders

• Past performance (including our internal >1-year positive runs on Gold/M5) does not guarantee future results.

• Always evaluate on demo and use conservative risk, especially if you diverge from the default preset.

Your next step: run the factory preset on Gold/M5 and experience GoldStreetEA as intended. When you’re ready to experiment, clone the preset, adjust carefully, and test before trading live. ✨
