Gold (XAUUSD) | H1 | MetaTrader 5
Overview
MPX-TRF1 is a Trend Following Expert Advisor for Gold (XAUUSD) on the H1 timeframe. It uses ADX to confirm trend strength and ATR to dynamically calculate Stop Loss, Take Profit, and position size — adapting automatically to market volatility.
The EA opens a maximum of 1 position per symbol at a time, with built-in Breakeven and Trailing Stop systems to protect profits as the trend develops.
MPX-TRF1 is part of the MPX Series — a collection of 6 EAs, each built on a distinct trading strategy, designed to be run together as a diversified portfolio.

How It Works
Entry Logic
- ADX must exceed the threshold to confirm a valid trend
- +DI > -DI → Buy | -DI > +DI → Sell
- Executes on new bar open only — no duplicate entries within the same candle
- Maximum 1 open position per symbol at any time
Position Sizing
- Lot size calculated automatically based on % risk per trade
- SL and TP scale with ATR — adapts to current market volatility
Trade Management
- Breakeven: moves SL to open price once price reaches a defined ATR distance
- Trailing Stop: follows price by ATR distance to lock in profit

Recommended Usage
- The default parameters are optimized for XAUUSD H1 and can be used as-is
- For other symbols, run Strategy Tester and optimize parameters before going live
- Suggested symbols to explore: EURUSD, GBPUSD, US30
- Re-optimize every 3–6 months as Gold market conditions shift over time
- While optimized for XAUUSD, this EA can be applied to other symbols and timeframes with parameter re-optimization
Important Notes
- MPX-TRF1 is a Trend Following EA — it performs best in trending markets and may underperform during prolonged sideways conditions
- Reducing Risk_Percent (e.g. to 1%) will lower drawdown proportionally
- Requires a Hedging account — does not support Netting accounts
- Always test on a Demo account first before going live
- Results will vary across brokers due to differences in spread and execution
