Gold Breakout Bot
Gold Breakout Bot is a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor designed to trade price breakouts on XAUUSD.
The EA analyzes a window of previous candles to identify the highest and lowest market levels. At scheduled times, it can place a pending Buy Stop above the high and a pending Sell Stop below the low.
A trade is opened only when the price reaches and breaks one of these levels. After entry, the EA automatically manages the position using Stop Loss, Take Profit and a trailing stop.
The trailing stop follows the price when a position moves in a favorable direction. It can move the Stop Loss closer to the current price to protect part of the movement. For this reason, a profitable position may be closed before reaching its Take Profit.
Operating principle
- Analyzes the highs and lows of a previous candle window.
- Calculates the breakout levels.
- Checks the trading schedule and symbol conditions.
- Places pending Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders.
- Waits for the price to reach one of the levels.
- Applies Stop Loss and Take Profit when an order is triggered.
- Manages the position using a trailing stop.
- Controls the number of pending orders and the distance between them.
The EA does not attempt to predict in advance whether the market will move up or down. An entry occurs only when the price confirms the movement by reaching a breakout level.

However, these settings do not guarantee that the same results will be obtained in other accounts, brokerages or market conditions. It is recommended to perform backtests and tests on a demo account before operating on a real account. Gold Breakout Bot offers no promise or guarantee of profit.

Usage recommendations
Gold Breakout Bot is primarily designed for XAUUSD. Initial testing on a demo account with a fixed lot size is recommended to verify the symbol specifications and the broker’s execution conditions.
The recommended account type is Hedging. On Netting accounts, opposite orders and other strategies trading the same symbol may reduce, close or reverse the existing position.
MetaTrader 5 must remain open and connected for continuous trailing-stop management. A VPS may also be used.
Spread, commission, slippage, contract size, minimum order distance and broker server time can vary between brokers. Run broker-specific backtests and demo tests before using the product on a live account.
Trading leveraged products involves risk. Historical results do not guarantee future performance.
