Gold often compresses during the quiet Asian hours and then breaks out as Europe wakes up. Gold Squeeze Session is built to catch exactly that move.
HOW IT WORKS
- Waits for Bollinger Bands to contract inside the Keltner Channel for at least 12 bars (a volatility squeeze).
- Enters when price closes outside the band, only in the direction of the 200 EMA.
- New entries only between 00:00 and 08:00 server time.
- Exits: 2 ATR stop loss, 6 ATR take profit, break-even, then a 3 ATR trailing stop.

RISK MANAGEMENT
- Every trade has a hard stop loss. No grid, no martingale, no averaging down, no hedging tricks.
- Lot size is calculated from your risk % and the stop distance, so it scales with your account.
- Daily loss limit and a margin cap protect the account on bad days.
- Maximum-spread filter: default 30 points, the value used in all backtests (made for 5-digit FX and 2-digit gold quotes). If your broker quotes this symbol with one more digit, multiply it by 10. 0 = off.
BROKER AND SETTINGS
- Session hours are broker SERVER time. Defaults were tested on a GMT+2 (winter) / GMT+3 (summer) server, which most MT5 brokers use. If your broker uses another offset, shift the session hours accordingly.
- Works with any symbol suffix (XAUUSD, XAUUSD.m, XAUUSDx ...): attach it to the chart of the symbol you want to trade.
- A low-spread / raw-spread account is recommended. Backtests include commission of about 7 USD per lot round turn.
- Minimum deposit: 300 USD. Use 0.5-1% risk per trade; start lower on a live account.
- A VPS is recommended so the EA runs 24/5.
HOW TO START
1. Open a XAUUSD M30 chart.
