AuricMind

Master XAUUSD with Institutional-Grade Precision

AuricMind is a sophisticated Expert Advisor (EA) designed specifically for automated trading on the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform. It incorporates machine learning elements to generate trading signals, focusing primarily on the XAUUSD (Gold) symbol using the 1-hour (H1) timeframe. The EA uses an ONNX-based inference model trained on historical data spanning over 6 years, drawing from a comprehensive set of 75 features. These features include technical indicators, news proximity analysis, volatility patterns, session timing, momentum indicators, and more. In backtesting and forward testing under controlled conditions, the model has shown a win rate above 67%, but remember that backtest results are not indicative of future performance due to market changes, slippage, and other real-world factors.

This EA is built with a focus on risk management and compatibility, making it potentially suitable for proprietary trading firm (prop firm) challenges such as those from FTMO, The Funded Trader, Funding Pips, or Blue Guardian. However, success in prop firm challenges depends on your account settings, market conditions, and adherence to the firm's rules. AuricMind does not guarantee passing any challenges or generating profits—it is a tool that requires careful setup, monitoring, and risk awareness. Always backtest on your broker's historical data, forward test on a demo account, and use only risk capital you can afford to lose.

Core Philosophy: Balancing Edge with Survival for Potential Long-Term Results

The EA's approach is to identify high-confidence trading opportunities through its ML model while prioritizing capital preservation. It avoids over-trading by only entering positions when the model's confidence meets or exceeds your set threshold. Trades are protected with stop-loss (SL), take-profit (TP), and advanced trailing mechanisms. However, no system is foolproof—markets can be unpredictable, and drawdowns are inevitable. The goal is to provide a structured framework that may help in managing risks, but users must critically evaluate their own trading environment, including broker spreads, commissions, and latency.

State-of-the-Art Risk and Money Management System

AuricMind includes a multi-layered risk management system to help mitigate losses. Below is a detailed breakdown of each component, including how it works, why it's included, and critical considerations for setup.

Lot Sizing Modes

• Fixed Lot Mode: Uses a static lot size for every trade (e.g., 0.01 lots). This is simple and predictable, ideal for small accounts or conservative strategies. However, it doesn't adjust for account growth or drawdowns, potentially leading to over-risking as your balance changes.
• Risk-Based Mode (Default): Calculates lot size based on a percentage of your account balance (e.g., 2% risk per trade). The risk is computed using the distance to the SL, ensuring consistent exposure. This is more dynamic but can amplify losses during drawdown periods if not monitored.

Critical Setup: Start with low risk (1-2%) and test in a demo. For prop firms, ensure this aligns with their max drawdown rules (e.g., 5-10% daily).

Advanced Trailing Stop Engine

This is a customizable system to lock in profits as trades move in your favor. It operates in stages:

• Stage 1: Triggers when the trade reaches 60% of the initial TP distance. Moves SL to 0.4 times the ATR (Average True Range) behind the current price, securing partial profits.
• Stage 2: Activates at 96% of TP, shifting to an aggressive trail of 0.2 times ATR. Optionally extends TP by an additional 0.5 times ATR to capture more upside.

Why It's Useful: Helps in "letting winners run" while protecting gains. Critical Considerations: In volatile markets like Gold, tight trailing can cause premature exits. Test different multipliers in the strategy tester to find a balance—over-optimization can lead to curve-fitting. Disable if you prefer fixed SL/TP for simplicity.

Daily Capital Protection

Enabled for accounts over $1000, this sets hard limits:

• Daily Profit Target (e.g., $200): Pauses trading for the day once reached, preventing over-trading in good conditions.
• Daily Loss Limit (e.g., $100): Stops trading if losses hit this threshold, protecting from bad days.

Critical Setup: Adjust based on your account size (e.g., 1-2% of balance for limits). For prop firms, match these to their rules to avoid violations. Note: This uses equity changes, so swaps or commissions could affect calculations—monitor closely.

Consecutive Loss Safeguards

• Cooldown After 2 Losses: Pauses trading for 30 minutes (configurable) to avoid emotional or correlated losses.
• Halt After 3 Losses: Stops all trading until the next day.

Why Included: Markets can enter unfavorable regimes; this enforces discipline. Critical Considerations: In ranging markets, this might limit opportunities. Test historically to see if it reduces overall drawdown without missing rebounds.

High-Impact News Filter

Uses an embedded news database for backtests and MT5's Economic Calendar API for live trading. Avoids trades near events like NFP, CPI, FOMC, GDP, PPI, or Retail Sales:

• Configurable minutes before (e.g., 10) and after (e.g., 20) events.

Critical Setup: Ensure your MT5 terminal has the calendar enabled (Tools > Options > Events). High-impact only—medium/low events are not filtered, which could still cause volatility. In backtests, news data might not perfectly match live, so forward test during real events.

Broker and Account Compatibility Layer

• Auto-detects account type (Netting vs. Hedging) and broker style (ECN/STP vs. Standard).
• For ECN brokers: Opens trades without SL/TP, then modifies them to comply with "no pending levels on market orders" rules.
• Adjusts order filling (FOK/IOC/RETURN) based on symbol execution mode.
• Enforces minimum stop distances with a 100% buffer to avoid rejections.

Critical Setup: Test on your broker's demo—some have unique quirks (e.g., higher stop levels on Gold). Use the magic number to identify trades.

Slippage and Validation Controls

• Max slippage (e.g., 30 points) to prevent poor fills.
• Pre-validates SL/TP distances against broker rules.

Critical Considerations: In fast markets, slippage can exceed this—consider increasing for news-heavy brokers, but it raises risk.

Key Input Parameters – Full Control and Setup Guidance

All parameters are grouped in the EA's inputs tab. Here's a detailed explanation of each, with defaults, purposes, and critical advice:

=== DEBUG SETTINGS ===

• InpEnableDebugPrints (false): Enables detailed logs in the Experts tab. Use for initial setup or troubleshooting, but disable in live to reduce log clutter.

=== LOT SIZING ===

• InpLotMode (Risk): Choose Fixed or Risk. Start with Risk for adaptability.
• InpFixedLot (0.01): Static size—keep small for testing.
• InpRiskPercent (2.0): % risk—1% or less for beginners or prop accounts.
• InpMinLotSize (0.01): Ensures lots don't go below broker min.

Setup Tip: Calculate manually first (e.g., risk = balance * percent / (SL distance * tick value)).

=== SIGNAL SETTINGS ===

• InpMinConfidence (0.50): Model must be at least this confident (50%) to trade. Higher = fewer but potentially better trades; lower = more trades but higher risk.
• InpATRMultiplier_SL (1.1): SL = ATR x this. Smaller = tighter stops, more frequent losses.
• InpATRMultiplier_TP (1.7): TP = ATR x this. Aim for positive R:R (TP > SL).

Setup Tip: ATR period is fixed (likely 14)—test on H1 Gold for optimal multipliers.

=== TRAILING STOP ===

• InpUseTrailing (true): Enable for dynamic profit locking.
• InpTrail1_Percent (60.0): Trigger %.
• InpTrail1_ATRMult (0.4): Trail distance.
• InpTrail2_Percent (96.0): Aggressive trigger.
• InpTrail2_ATRMult (0.2): Tight trail.
• InpExtendTP (true): Extend at 96%.
• InpTPExtension_ATRMult (0.5): Extension amount.

Setup Tip: Backtest variations—aggressive settings work in trends but fail in chop.

=== DAILY LIMITS ===

• InpUseDailyLimits (true): For larger accounts.
• InpDailyProfitTarget (200.0): $ target.
• InpDailyLossLimit (100.0): $ limit.

Setup Tip: Scale to account (e.g., 2% for profit, 1% for loss).

=== RISK MANAGEMENT ===

• InpUseCooldown (true): Enable pauses.
• InpCooldownMinutes (30): Duration.
• InpStopAfter3Losses (true): Day halt.
• InpMaxSlippage (30): Points.

Setup Tip: Increase cooldown in volatile pairs.

=== NEWS AVOIDANCE ===

• InpAvoidNews (true): Enable.
• InpNewsAvoidMinsBefore (10): Pre-event.
• InpNewsAvoidMinsAfter (20): Post-event.

Setup Tip: Check calendar accuracy weekly.

• InpMagicNumber (2345626): Unique ID.
• InpTradeComment ("AuricMind_Confidence"): Label.

=== MULTI-PAIR TESTING ===

• InpAllowMultiPair (false): Experimental—keep off for Gold only.
• InpAllowedSymbols ("XAUUSD,GOLD"): Comma-separated.

Setup Tip: For other pairs, ATR scaling applies but may not be optimized—test extensively.
