🇬🇧 English — Full description v2.9.10
Ziu Institutional is an automated Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 that operates exclusively on XAUUSD (gold) on the 1-minute timeframe. The strategy is intraday and performs a single daily evaluation at 9:48 New York time. Once the position is opened, it is managed with partial Take Profit closes, break-even, protective trailing, and forced close at the end of the NY session.
The decision engine combines several market structure scenarios computed at 9:47 NY: London range sweeps, Fibonacci levels across macro, micro and session ranges, Fair Value Gaps on H4, H1 and M5, prior H1 and H4 candles, and structural patterns on M5. The selected scenario determines direction, entry price and structural stop loss.
MAIN FEATURES
Intraday strategy. The system evaluates the market once a day at 9:48 New York time and opens a single position. If that position closes at Stop Loss, a second entry may be taken, with execution no later than 10:10 New York time. Maximum two operations per day. No overnight risk: any open position is force-closed before 16:00 New York time.
Automatic detection of broker server timezone. The EA automatically detects the server offset and whether it applies European Daylight Saving Time by analyzing the price history. It works without manual configuration on any broker offering XAUUSD (Exness, FTMO, Vantage, IC Markets, AVA, XM, FP Markets, Hantec, JBL, among others). Manual override of the offset is also supported.
Three risk sizing modes. Fixed lot, fixed dollars per trade, or percent of account balance per trade. The operator chooses how to size risk.
Lot adapted to SL. In risk modes, the lot is calculated from the day's structural stop loss, keeping the target risk constant on every trade.
Up to four Take Profits. Configurable by close percentage and R-multiple per TP. Default configuration: 2 TPs at 50 and 50 percent, with TP1 at 1R and TP2 at 2R.
Automatic break-even. When TP1 is hit, the stop loss moves to the entry price. Alternative mode: move the SL to entry after X pips of profit.
Protective trailing. After TP1 is hit, when price advances X percent of the TP1-to-last-TP segment, the SL moves to TP1, locking in a gain equivalent to 1R on the runner.
Immediate SL synchronization with the broker. Every time the EA adjusts the stop loss (break-even, TP3 protection, or trailing), the new SL is sent to the broker immediately. This improves closing accuracy in live trading, as the broker closes at the exact SL price rather than at market when the EA detects the crossing.
Configuration validator. If inputs are inconsistent, for example TP percentages that do not add up to 100 or zero risk, the EA pauses and displays a message on the chart. The client corrects the values and the EA automatically resumes without needing to reload.
Reconciliation of external closes. If the broker closes the position through its visible stop loss or take profit, the EA detects the close, logs it and releases its internal state, ready for the next day.
Pre-trade margin check. Before every entry, the EA computes the required margin and compares it against the available free margin. If insufficient, it does not open and logs the reason.
Stops-level check. If the SL ends up closer to price than the broker's minimum allowed distance, the EA expands the SL to the minimum acceptable value.
Late-start protection. If MetaTrader is opened after 9:47 New York time, the EA does not trade that day. This prevents entering at a price different from the evaluated one.
Inputs manual included. Detailed PDF in English with practical examples, sent by private message after purchase.
REQUIREMENTS
MetaTrader 5 platform, hedging or netting account.
XAUUSD (gold) symbol. The EA does not trade any other symbol.
1-minute timeframe. The EA does not operate on other timeframes.
Broker that allows a stop loss of at least 100 pips on XAUUSD.
Recommended minimum balance: 200 USD to start with 1 percent risk. Recommended between 500 and 1000 USD for greater flexibility on trades with a large SL.
24/5 VPS strongly recommended. If operating from a personal PC, every time the machine is turned off or restarted, the day's trade will be missed.
BROKER RECOMMENDATION
The EA works on any broker that offers XAUUSD with MetaTrader 5. It is recommended to use low-spread accounts such as ECN, Raw Spread or Pro/Zero types, commonly offered by institutional brokers. Feed quality and spread during the operating window can affect live trading results.
RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION BY ACCOUNT SIZE
Account of 200 to 500 USD. Mode 2 (percent of balance). Risk 1 percent. The daily lot will be near the broker's minimum lot (0.01) on large SLs and rise slightly on shorter SLs. Tight but operational.
Account of 500 to 2000 USD. Mode 2. Risk between 1 and 2 percent depending on tolerance. The lot will naturally range between 0.02 and 0.10 lots depending on the SL.
Account of 2000 USD or more. Mode 2 with risk between 1 and 3 percent, or Mode 1 with a fixed dollar amount per trade. Allows working with comfortable lot sizing across all SL scenarios.
INPUT PARAMETERS
Operational
Use Magic Number. Enables the EA's magic tag on orders. Default: true. Recommended to always leave true.
Magic Number. Unique EA identifier. Default: 948948. Change only if you run more than one instance on the same account.
Time / Broker
Server-GMT offset (hours). Difference between the broker's server clock and GMT, in hours. Default: -99 (autodetect). With -99, the EA automatically detects the broker's offset by analyzing the price history, both in live trading and in the Strategy Tester. Change manually only if you need to force a specific offset.
Server applies DST. Indicates whether the broker's server applies European Daylight Saving Time. Default: true. In autodetect mode, this value is determined automatically and this input acts as a manual override.
Late start tolerance (min). Tolerance in minutes if MetaTrader opens after 9:47 NY. Default: 0 (strict). With 0, if the setup time has passed, the EA does not trade that day. Raise to 1 or 2 to forgive brief connection dropouts.
Risk / Sizing
Mode. Sizing mode. 0 fixed lot, 1 dollars per trade, 2 percent of balance. Default: 0.
(mode 2) percent of balance. Percent of balance to risk per trade. Default: 1.
Example: with balance 1000 USD and SL of 200 pips, the calculated lot is 0.05 (risk 10 USD).
Example: with balance 1000 USD and SL of 100 pips, the calculated lot is 0.10 (risk 10 USD).
(mode 1) dollars to risk. Fixed dollar amount per trade. Default: 200. Works regardless of balance.
Example: with risk 200 USD and SL of 200 pips, the lot is 1.00.
(mode 0) position units total. Number of units when trading with fixed lot. Default: 10.
Example: 10 units multiplied by 0.01 lot per unit equals 0.10 lot.
(mode 0) lot per unit. Size of each unit in MT5 lots. Default: 0.01.
Safety cap maximum lot. Absolute lot ceiling per trade. Default: 5.0. Even if the risk calculation requests more, the EA never opens above this cap.
Take Profits
Active TPs. Number of active TPs between 1 and 4. Default: 2.
Percent to close at TP1, TP2, TP3, TP4. Percentage of the lot to close at each TP. Active percentages must add up to 100. Default values: 50 at TP1 and 50 at TP2.
After hitting TP1, percent of TP1 to last TP. Once TP1 is hit, when the price advances this percentage of the segment between TP1 and the last active TP, the SL moves to TP1. Default: 70.
Example with TP1 at 4020 and TP2 at 4040: the SL moves to 4020 when the price reaches 4034 (70 percent of the segment).
Break-even
BE. Break-even mode. 0 disabled, 1 move SL to entry when TP1 is hit, 2 move SL to entry after X pips of profit. Default: 1.
(mode 2) Pips in favor to move BE. Pips of profit that trigger break-even in mode 2. Default: 150.
End of Day close (NY)
Close the position before NY end. Enable forced close before the end of the NY session. Default: true. Recommended to keep enabled.
Minutes before 16:00 NY. Minutes before 16:00 NY at which the close runs. Default: 10, equivalent to closing at 15:50 NY.
Structural SL / TP
Minimum SL pips. Minimum allowed stop loss in pips. Default: 100.
Maximum SL pips. Maximum allowed stop loss in pips. Default: 200.
Long SL pips. Extended stop loss for setups that justify a wider distance. Default: 220.
TP1, TP2, TP3, TP4 = N x R. Position of each TP as a multiple of R, where R is the SL distance. Default values: 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Example: with entry at 4000 and SL at 3980, R is 20. TP1 is at 4020 (1R), TP2 at 4040 (2R), TP3 at 4060 (3R) and TP4 at 4080 (4R).
VALIDATION AND SAFETY
Before every entry, the EA runs pre-trade checks. If any fails, the trade is not opened and the reason is logged in the Experts tab:
- Enough free margin for the calculated lot.
- SL distance respecting the broker's stops level.
- Valid lot within the symbol's volume limits.
During the trade, the EA immediately synchronizes its internal SL and TP with those of the broker every time a change occurs. If an external close is detected, the state is automatically released to avoid interfering with future operations.
If the input configuration is inconsistent, the EA does not trade and displays a clear message on the chart until the operator corrects the values.
HOW TO VERIFY THE VERSION
When loading the EA on a chart, the Experts tab of the MetaTrader 5 client will show a line similar to the following, confirming that the version and build are correct:
[ZIU] v2.9.10 build 2026-07-02-autoDetectOffset
Additionally, the EA will display the automatic detection of the server timezone, similar to:
[INIT] Auto-detect: BASE=0 DST=NONE (fixed GMT)
[INIT] OffsetServidor<->GMT = 0 h
