Introducing Fornax Gold, my new Expert Advisor -
Built for XAUUSD / GOLD on the M5 timeframe. Fornax Gold follows the trend. It reads the market with Bollinger Bands and Moving Averages, then waits for price to reach an Orderblock zone before entering, so every trade has structure behind it. A reliable algorithm handles both the entry and the management of floating minus, keeping the account steady when the market turns.
Fornax Gold waits for the market to come to it. It follows the trend, maps Orderblock zones, and enters only when price returns to a zone with the trend behind it, during the most active market hours. Every position opens with a fixed stop loss and take profit, and a trailing stop locks in profit once the trade moves in your favor.
If price moves against a position, a controlled recovery algorithm manages the floating minus and closes the whole basket as soon as it returns to profit. Exposure is capped at a fixed number of positions per side, and no position is ever opened without a stop loss. This is not a grid or martingale system: the lot size never increases within a cycle.
HOW TO USE

2. Attach it to an XAUUSD (Gold) M5 chart on a hedging account.
4. Run it on a 24/7 VPS and monitor it from the on-chart dashboard or push notifications.

IMPORTANT
- Past performance in the Strategy Tester does not guarantee future results. Occasional losses are a normal part of trading; the EA is designed for consistent long-term use, not for a single week.
- In the tester the news filter uses a built-in calendar of past high-impact dates; live trading uses the live calendar, so results can differ slightly.
- Start on a demo account or with the minimum lot until you are comfortable with how the EA behaves. Use Auto Lots at 1-2% on real accounts; 3% is aggressive.
- Never run two instances with the same magic number on the same account.
