Strategy
At the close of every H1 candle, the EA identifies the highest high and lowest low of the previous 24 bars — one full trading day. It places a buy stop above resistance and a sell stop below support. When one order fills, the opposite is deleted. Pending orders expire after 12 hours if not triggered.
The EA trades one position at a time. Every trade has a hard stop loss and take profit attached immediately on entry. A break-even mechanism moves the stop loss to entry plus 2 points once the trade reaches 3 points profit, making the position risk-free from that point.
Risk Management
- Stop loss: 90 points (fixed)
- Take profit: 500 points (fixed, 5.56:1 reward-to-risk ratio)
- Break-even trigger: 3 points profit
- Spread filter: Maximum 3.0 points (blocks entries during poor liquidity)
- Position sizing: Automatic, scales proportionally with account balance
- Maximum lot size: 6.0 (verified optimal through 24-month backtesting)
- Emergency lot cap: 99.0 (safety backstop against misconfiguration)
Position Sizing
Lot size is calculated automatically: (Account Balance / 100) x 0.01, capped at Maximum Lot Size.
- $10,000 account: 1.0 lot
- $25,000 account: 2.5 lots
- $50,000 account: 5.0 lots
- $60,000 and above: 6.0 lots (capped)
For accounts above $70,000, see the Position Sizing section of the user manual for scaling options.
Compounding Timeline
The 1,757% return is the result of mathematical compounding over 24 months, not consistent monthly returns. Position sizes grow as the account balance grows, which accelerates returns over time.
- Months 1–6: Foundation phase, modest gains while lot sizes are small
- Months 7–12: Acceleration phase, compounding becomes visible
- Months 13–24: Exponential phase, lot sizes at or near the cap
Traders who evaluate performance before month 12 are not seeing the strategy's full trajectory.

Risk Disclosure
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Forex and gold trading involves substantial risk of loss. The 1,757% backtest result reflects specific market conditions over a defined 24-month period. Live results may differ due to broker spread variations, slippage, execution quality, and market regime changes. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose.
