Midas Vanguard EA is an automated trading system developed for XAUUSD (Gold). It executes an ATR-adaptive straddle breakout strategy, placing Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders at the open of each new bar to capture price momentum while maintaining strict risk management.
Key Features
- Candle Open Execution (New Bar Engine): Triggers straddle placement strictly on the first tick of a new candle based on the active chart timeframe (M5, M15, M30, H1, H4,...), ensuring alignment between live execution and backtest data.
- Adaptive Volatility Engine: Dynamically calculates breakout distance using the ratio between Fast and Slow ATR indicators to adjust entry levels based on market volatility.
- Smart OCO (One-Cancels-The-Other): Automatically removes the remaining pending order the moment one side triggers, preventing dual-sided exposure.
- Custom Expiry Control: Uses an internal timer (PendingExpirySeconds) to cancel pending orders if price does not trigger within the specified window.
- Step Trailing Stop: Adjusts stop loss levels as price advances to lock in profits during trending moves.
- Multi-Layered Money Management: Supports Fixed Lot, Capital Step Scaling, Risk % per Trade, and ATR Dynamic Lot sizing.
- Performance Adaptation Engine: Features an optional rolling win rate analyzer that adjusts lot multipliers based on recent trading history over a user-defined lookback window.
- On-Chart Dashboard: Real-time display showing active timeframe mode, remaining bar close countdown, market strength ratio, active lot size, rolling win rate, and floating equity/balance.
