Golden Gap Zone Recovery

(XAUUSD – M5 Timeframe)

Golden Gap Zone Recovery EA is a professional automated trading system developed for MetaTrader 5, designed to trade Gold against the US Dollar (XAUUSD) exclusively on the 5-minute timeframe (M5).

The Expert Advisor is based on price gap detection and retest logic, combined with multi-timeframe trend confirmation and a step-based recovery (multiplier) system to manage adverse market movements.

🔹 How the Strategy Works

1. Detects bullish and bearish price gaps on the chart

2. Waits for a price retest of the gap area

3. Confirms the trade direction using SMA (100) on:

   • M30

   • M15

   • M1

4. Opens the initial trade with a fixed lot size

5. If price moves against the position, the EA activates a recovery grid system using pending stop orders with lot multiplication

6. All trades are managed automatically until profit conditions are met

⚙️ Money Management

• Initial Lot Size: 0.01
