🔥 PHOENIX FX GOLD — Expert Advisor v2.0
by Worldinversor 2026 | Smart Money Concepts Strategy for XAU/USD
📌 OVERVIEW
Phoenix FX Gold is an algorithmic trading Expert Advisor (EA) developed exclusively for the XAU/USD (Gold) pair, optimized for trading on the M1 and M5 timeframes. Its core is based on the Smart Money Concepts (SMC) methodology, combining institutional liquidity detection, price action patterns, and a confluent filtering system to identify high-probability entries.
With a recommended initial capital of $500 USD and trading on IC Markets (an ECN broker with ultra-thin spreads), the EA is designed to maximize entry accuracy while maintaining strict and professional risk management.
⚙️ SIGNAL ENGINE — ENTRY SYSTEMS
The EA features 7 signal detection systems that operate in parallel:
1. Liquidity Sweeps: Detects areas where the price sweeps through previous liquidity levels (swing lows/highs) with confirmation from a reversal candlestick. Includes validation by minimum sweep size and wick ratio.
2. Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Identifies price imbalances between non-adjacent candlesticks (fair value gaps), both bullish and bearish, looking for entries when the price returns to mitigate these zones.
3. Trendline Liquidity Sweep: Draws dynamic trend lines on pivots and detects when the price momentarily breaks through them and returns, generating an entry signal in the opposite direction of the breakout.
4. Inducement Sweep: Detects inducement levels (local trap lows/highs) and triggers a reversal when the price sweeps through them and closes above/below the level.
5. Harami Pattern: A two-candle pattern where a smaller candlestick is contained within the body of the larger candlestick, indicating exhaustion and a possible reversal.
6. Tweezer Tops/Bottoms: Detects double highs or lows with a configurable tolerance in pips, a classic price rejection signal in key areas.
7. Marubozu: Full-bodied candlesticks (no wicks or minimal wicks) that indicate strong momentum and directional dominance.
🔍 CONFLUENT FILTER SYSTEM
All entries pass through a triple technical filter system with configurable confluence:
Stochastic (5/3/3) — Filters overbought/oversold conditions; Validates %K vs %D direction
Momentum (14 periods) — Confirms that the momentum is aligned with the signal (>100 for buys, <100 for sells)
Williams %R (14 periods) — Confirms overbought/oversold conditions, complementing the Stochastic Oscillator
The MinFiltersToPass parameter defines how many filters must be confirmed simultaneously to enable entry (configurable from 1 to 3).
🏦 DRAW ON LIQUIDITY (DOL) — INSTITUTIONAL TARGETS
The Expert Advisor (EA) maps the main institutional liquidity pools in real time as price targets:
PDH / PDL — Previous day's high and low
SWH / SWL — Structural swing high and low
EQH / EQL — Equal highs and lows with configurable tolerance
These levels are displayed on the chart and serve as a reference for projecting where the price is headed.
