My name is Alexander. I’m a programmer and an algo trader, and I’ve been working with automated trading for many years.

During this time, I’ve seen the market flooded with aggressive “monster” EAs — beautiful back tests, complex logic, heavy manipulation, and almost zero real-world discipline. Many of them look impressive, but fail in live trading and prop firm environments.

So I decided to release my own system.

Golden Surfer is not something I created yesterday for sales.

It’s an algorithm I’ve been using myself for a long time, refining it step by step, cutting out everything unnecessary and keeping only what makes sense in real trading.

It’s built to stay calm when gold gets volatile.
It doesn’t chase the market.
It doesn’t try to be clever.
It simply follows its rules.

I’m sharing Golden Surfer now because it works for me, and I believe it can be useful for other traders who value discipline, transparency, and long-term thinking.

This is not hype for the sake of hype.
It’s a solid tool for trading GOLD in a controlled, professional way.

Golden Surfer analyzes market structure on M15 with a focus on volatility changes, directional bias, and momentum balance.

Stop Loss and Take Profit are calculated before opening a trade. After entry, the parameters remain unchanged until the position is closed.

Golden Surfer is an Expert Advisor created for traders who want simplicity, control, and clean execution on XAUUSD (GOLD).

It’s easy to use. No complicated settings, no overloaded logic.

One symbol, one timeframe, and only one trade at a time — always with a predefined Stop Loss and Take Profit. No grids. No martingale. No risk tricks.

⚙️ EA Settings & Usage Guide

The EA is extremely easy to use.
All you need to do is choose the risk per trade that matches your risk tolerance.

🎯 Risk per trade

  • Select the risk level according to your preferences.

  • If you are trading with prop firms, I recommend 2–5% risk, depending on your prop firm’s daily drawdown limits.

🏢 Prop firm trading

  • Always adjust the risk so it comfortably fits within the firm’s rules.

  • Lower risk = more stability and fewer violations.

🔧 Other settings

  • All other parameters can be left at default values.

📰 News filter

  • The news filter is optional.

  • You can enable or disable it at your discretion (disabled by default).

✅ That’s it — simple, clean, and effective.

If you have any questions or need help choosing the right risk level, just let me know.

Catch the wave. Trade GOLD with Golden Surfer 🌊🔥

Today I had one trade, and it closed in profit. A great result. Thank you.
I hope the EA will continue to perform well.

Unfortunately, this is my situation for the month of March. Only one loss, but a very heavy one. I believe we need to work on the stop loss to avoid situations like this. I will continue to keep the Expert Advisor running, but I have reduced the position size it opens by 50%, hoping that such a heavy loss will not happen again. In percentage terms, the Expert Advisor wins a large number of trades; we need to avoid situations where a single loss becomes dramatic.

Unfortunately yes, this loss happened because the market conditions on Gold were very unusual. Recently we had extremely strong movements that we have not seen for a long time. When Gold moves 5–10% in one day, this is not normal behavior, and in such conditions many strategies can show worse results than expected.

Right now I am working on an update of the EA and I plan to release a new version soon. I will also review the stop loss logic and most likely make it smaller, or add an alternative strategy with a tighter stop loss for more conservative trading.

Sorry for this situation, and thank you for your patience. I am doing my best to improve the EA so it can handle current market conditions better.
