Dual Thrust is a well-known range-breakout method used by professional futures traders. Gold Dual Thrust adapts it to XAUUSD: it measures how far gold has been moving in recent days and trades the first strong breakout of the day.
HOW IT WORKS
- Each day the EA computes the recent 5-day range: the larger of (highest high - lowest close) and (highest close - lowest low).
- Trigger lines are placed at today's open +/- 0.6 x range.
- The first breakout between 02:00 and 20:00 server time is traded.
- Stop loss = 0.5 x range, take profit = 1.0 x range.
- One trade per day maximum.

RISK MANAGEMENT
- Every trade has a hard stop loss. No grid, no martingale, no averaging down, no hedging tricks.
- Lot size is calculated from your risk % and the stop distance, so it scales with your account.
- Daily loss limit and a margin cap protect the account on bad days.
- Maximum-spread filter: default 30 points, the value used in all backtests (made for 5-digit FX and 2-digit gold quotes). If your broker quotes this symbol with one more digit, multiply it by 10. 0 = off.
BROKER AND SETTINGS
- Session hours are broker SERVER time. Defaults were tested on a GMT+2 (winter) / GMT+3 (summer) server, which most MT5 brokers use. If your broker uses another offset, shift the session hours accordingly.
- Works with any symbol suffix (XAUUSD, XAUUSD.m, XAUUSDx ...): attach it to the chart of the symbol you want to trade.
- A low-spread / raw-spread account is recommended. Backtests include commission of about 7 USD per lot round turn.
- Minimum deposit: 300 USD. Use 0.5-1% risk per trade; start lower on a live account.
- A VPS is recommended so the EA runs 24/5.
HOW TO START
1. Open a XAUUSD H1 chart.
