Gold Viper Breakout MT4

=== UPGRADING FROM v1.x? READ THIS === v2 is a DIFFERENT engine. v1 was an XAUUSD M1 grid scalper; v2 is an XAUUSD M30 breakout system. After the update: (1) attach it to an M30 chart, (2) close any open positions from the old version BEFORE updating, (3) do not load old presets (.set) — use the defaults. The MagicNumber is unchanged, so leftover old positions will be managed by the new engine. GOLD VIPER v2 — aggressive gold breakout (XAUUSD M30) v2 is a FULL ENGINE REPLACEMENT. The former M1 grid-scalper engine (v1.x) was retired after real-tick validation showed its published edge did not survive real execution. v2 uses a volatility-regime breakout engine verified on three independent real-tick feeds and an in-sample / out-of-sample split. How it trades: - Trades only volatility-expansion regimes: fast ATR / slow ATR >= 1.2 and a clear EMA50/200 trend (|EMA gap| >= 0.5 x ATR). Quiet, directionless markets are skipped. - Enters on a closed-bar breakout of the 32-bar M30 channel with an ATR margin, in the direction of the trend (buy and sell). - Exits with an ATR-scaled group take-profit (ATR x 3.0) and a HARD group stop-loss (ATR x 1.5), monitored every tick. - On adverse moves it may add same-size grid entries (max 5, NO martingale) — the group SL always caps the whole basket. - Lot size is volatility-normalized: a group-SL hit costs a fixed percent of balance (default 3%), in calm and wild markets alike. - Run modes: Defensive (risk x0.5) / Standard (published) / Aggressive (risk x2). Verification (pure DEFAULT settings — what you get out of the box): - Dukascopy 100% real ticks, 22.5 years (2004-2026), $10,000, compounding: x35.55 total, Profit Factor 1.25, equity DD 28.9%, 844 trades, win rate 43.5%, Sharpe 2.17. - v2.13: regime-quality sizing enabled by default — the stronger the volatility regime at entry, the larger the lot (up to x1.5); losing regimes keep the base lot. Profit +59% vs v2.12 with equity DD nearly unchanged, improving BOTH in-sample (x6.16) and out-of-sample (x8.26). Last 10 years (2016-2026): CAGR +22.5%. - v2.12: monthly loss circuit breaker (month's realized loss -8% pauses new entries until next month; the open basket is still fully managed). Deepest historical valley 65% -> 54%. - v2.11: 타이트한 그룹 트레일링 청산 기본 활성화(발동 3.0 ATR/폭 0.4 ATR); 승률 39% -> 42%, 샤프 1.59 -> 1.80, IS/OOS 모두 개선. - MetaQuotes real ticks (2025-2026): +47.7%, PF 1.42 (v2.10 engine cross-check). - Aggressive mode measured: x34.7 / PF 1.18 / equity DD 44.2% over 22.5y — the Kelly boundary. Since v2.13 the Standard default beats it on BOTH profit and drawdown, so Aggressive is no longer recommended. (Sizing and breaker auto-disable in Aggressive.) TWIN-TF option (advanced): attach the EA a second time on an H1 chart with the bundled GOLD_VIPER_TWIN_H1 settings (48-bar channel / TP 2.0 ATR / risk 1.5% / separate magic). The H1 leg is IS/OOS positive on 22.5y real ticks (IS PF1.25 / OOS PF1.14) with only +0.20 monthly correlation to the M30 leg. Combined (monthly composition): x55.7 / CAGR 21.1% with slightly lower drawdown than M30 alone. The H1 leg is not meant to run alone. >>> AGGRESSIVE SYSTEM — READ FIRST <<< - Equity drawdown reaches ~29% at Standard and ~44% in Aggressive mode. - Extended ranges produce consecutive group-SL hits (2020 and early 2024 regimes). - Trade only with risk capital. Past results do NOT guarantee future performance. - Symbol: Gold (XAUUSD / GOLD / XAUUSDm — uses the chart symbol). Timeframe: M30. - Broker-agnostic: dynamic symbol spec, volume-limit clamp, free-margin check, margin emergency close (150%), session/weekday filters, news filter, on-chart dashboard with pause button. Hard SL on every basket. No martingale. - Recommended: leverage 1:200+, $1,000+ (cent/micro account for less).
