Gold Donchian Breakout EA

Gold Donchian Breakout EA is a rule-based breakout system for XAUUSD (MT5).
On each new bar it validates data, confirms momentum with an embedded Gann High/Low Activator, places Buy Stop orders at recent Donchian highs, and protects the trade with an ATR-based stop-loss. The indicator is embedded as a resource, so the EA works out of the box in the Strategy Tester and on live charts.

Recommended usage
Designed for XAUUSD (gold) with a recommended timeframe of M30. It can also be used on H1.

Recommended: start with a low risk configuration to understand the EA’s behavior before increasing exposure.
