Gold Master Payout Guard

Gold Master Payout Guard is a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor designed for XAUUSD on the M30 timeframe.

The EA combines trend-following entry logic with structured risk control, payout-progress tracking, daily cap management, max cap monitoring and consistency-style protection tools.

Gold Master Payout Guard is built for traders who want an automated XAUUSD M30 trading system with clear dashboard control and rule-based protection around funded-style account conditions.

Main Profile

• Platform: MetaTrader 5
• Symbol: XAUUSD
• Timeframe: M30
• Recommended broker conditions: Tickmill MT5-style conditions
• Recommended account model: AquaFunded-style accounts
• Required setup: Correct Gold Master setup file for your account size and account model

Important Before Using the EA

Please make sure you use the correct set file for your exact account type and account size.

The setup files are designed for:

• AquaFunded-style accounts
• Tickmill MT5-style conditions
• Instant / 3-Step / Consistency Rule account models
• 50k / 100k account sizes, depending on availability

The spread settings are already adjusted for AquaFunded with Tickmill MT5-style conditions.

Very important: the PayoutStartTime must be set correctly according to your challenge/account start time.
If this is not set correctly, the EA may calculate the payout progress incorrectly.

For best stability, a Forex VPS is recommended, especially if you want the EA to run 24/7 without interruptions.
A VPS is not required, but it is strongly recommended for a more stable connection and better long-term performance.
