Gold Grid Shield — XAUUSD Grid & Basket Protection EA
Gold Grid Shield is a rules-based grid and basket-management EA for XAUUSD on MetaTrader 5. It scores every trade against a multi-factor confirmation model before entry, then manages the resulting basket with layered drawdown protection and a live on-chart dashboard.
Specifications
| Symbol | XAUUSD |
| Account type | Hedging-enabled MT5, low spread/commission broker recommended |
| Timeframe | Attach to M5 — EA reads its own M5 / M15 / H1 data internally |
| Minimum balance | No fixed minimum. Runs from $100+; smaller equity means smaller lots and less drawdown room — size settings to your own account |
| Set files | Not required. Defaults are ready to run out of the box, tuned through the developer's own demo testing |
| Strategy type | Scored trend entry + ATR grid + multi-stage basket protection |
Entry Logic
| Confirmation score | 6-factor model: H1 trend slope, M15 structure, M5 EMA alignment, Bollinger Band rejection, RSI recovery, candle momentum |
| Entry threshold | Configurable minimum score required before any trade is taken |
| Timeframe split | Separate trigger (M5) and structure-confirmation (M15) timeframes |
Basket & Grid Protection
| Grid spacing | ATR-based dynamic spacing with min/max limits, or fixed-distance mode |
| Layer growth | Progressive spacing increase as the basket expands |
| Smart Basket Protection | Closes the basket early once floating drawdown reaches a level you set |
| Deep Basket Emergency Exit | Second-stage safeguard for baskets that reach higher layer counts, with its own independent threshold |
| Deep-layer lot reduction | Automatically shrinks lot size on later, higher-risk layers |
| Volatility guard | Pauses new layers during abnormal ATR expansion |
| Defensive drawdown control | Blocks new layers past a set floating-loss percentage |
| Basket stop-loss | Configurable % of balance, with cooldown timer after it triggers |
Lot Sizing & Exits
| Lot mode | Automatic balance-scaled sizing (with min/max caps) or fixed manual lot |
| Trailing exit | Basket-level trailing profit lock (target + step, lot-scaled) |
| Recovery exit | Reduced-target exit once drawdown passes a threshold, prioritizing capital preservation |
| Post-TP cooldown | Delay before the next basket can open after a take-profit |
Filters
| Session filter | London / New York sessions, adjustable GMT offset |
| Spread filter | Blocks entries above a maximum spread |
| News filter | Optional USD / high-impact economic event filter, with before/after buffer |
| Friday close | Optional close-out ahead of the weekend gap |
Dashboard & Controls
| Live panel | Status, active session, mode, basket P/L, daily P/L and drawdown, equity/balance, layer count |
| Manual buttons | START / STOP / CLOSE ALL, with confirmation step before force-closing |
| Persistence | Settings and state survive terminal restarts and chart reloads |
Before You Trade Live
This is a grid EA — it averages into a position when price moves against it, and closes a losing sequence using a basket stop-loss you configure. Stop-loss hits are a normal, expected part of this type of system, not a malfunction. When one happens, don't react emotionally by disabling filters, increasing lot size, or manually re-entering to recover the loss. Let the cooldown run and let the EA re-enter on its own rules.
Confirm your stop-loss and take-profit percentages are enabled and sized to your own account equity — running with protection disabled or set to 0 removes the EA's safety net.
Test on a demo account first. Confirm the behavior across different market conditions before going live, and only trade with capital you are fully prepared to lose.
