TrendForge Gold

TrendForge Gold — Trend-Following EA for XAUUSD

TrendForge Gold is a pure trend-following system for Gold. It enters on genuine breakouts in the direction of the dominant trend and lets winners run with an ATR chandelier trailing stop — no fixed profit cap, no averaging, no martingale.

Verified on 99% real tick data
Backtest on XAUUSD (2023–2026, 3.5 years, 99% real ticks, real broker spreads):

• Risk 1.0% → +62% · Profit Factor 1.40 · Max DD 21% · Sharpe 1.49
• Risk 2.5% → +189% · Profit Factor 1.42 · Max DD 45% · Sharpe 1.34
• ~302 trades (~8–9 per month)

How it works

• Donchian channel breakout filtered by a long EMA trend filter — trades only with the trend.
• Every position opens with a real Stop Loss and Take Profit sent inside the order. No virtual or hidden stops.
• Winners managed by an ATR chandelier trailing stop that only ever tightens risk.

What it will NOT do (by design)

• ❌ No grid · No martingale · No averaging down · No lot increase after a loss
• ❌ Never removes or widens the stop of an open position
• ✅ One position at a time. Transparent, auditable logic.

Recommended setup

• Symbol XAUUSD · Attach to any chart (the EA uses H2 signals internally by default)
• Risk 1.0% (balanced) or 2.5% (aggressive)
• Minimum balance $1,000 · Leverage 1:100 or higher · Any broker (results depend on your spread — lower-cost accounts perform better)

⚠️ Honest risk warning: Trend-following has a low win rate (~39%) with winners much larger than losers. Expect losing streaks — the backtest shows up to 10 consecutive losses, and long flat periods before a trend pays off. In the test above, the equity curve was flat for roughly the first half before the major move. Drawdowns of 20–45% are normal depending on your risk setting. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
