FULL DESCRIPTION
Gold Liquidity Reaper Pro v3.0 is the most complete version of the Gold Liquidity Reaper series, combining institutional ICT/SMC price action with a professional multi-layer trend quality system. Built exclusively for XAUUSD on the M15 timeframe, every entry requires simultaneous confirmation from six independent filters — eliminating the ranging market losses that plague most Gold EAs.
THE CORE PROBLEM THIS VERSION SOLVES
Most ICT/SMC Expert Advisors fail on Gold because they enter trades in sideways, low-momentum markets where fair value gaps and stop hunts generate false signals. Gold spends roughly 60% of its time in low-volatility consolidation. Version 4 solves this with the ADX Trend Quality Gate — the EA simply does not trade when the market lacks directional momentum, regardless of how perfect the ICT setup looks.
HOW IT WORKS — FOUR-LAYER ENTRY MODEL
Layer 1 — ICT Liquidity Swap Setup The foundation: a Fair Value Gap (minimum 8 pips) must exist on M15, a confirmed Stop Hunt must have swept a mapped liquidity zone (Equal High/Low, Previous Day High/Low, or Asian Range High/Low), and price must be retesting the FVG with a Bullish Engulfing or Pinbar candle closing beyond the 50% midpoint of the gap.
Layer 2 — MA20 / MA200 Trend Alignment For Long entries, price must be above both the MA20 and MA200, with MA20 above MA200 — confirming a structural uptrend on the current timeframe. For Short entries, the mirror conditions apply. This single filter eliminates all counter-trend trades.
Layer 3 — ADX Trend Quality Gate The ADX(14) must read above 22 before any entry is considered. Additionally, the Directional Index must confirm the direction: +DI must exceed -DI for Longs, and -DI must exceed +DI for Shorts. This ensures the EA only trades when institutional momentum is genuinely present — not during choppy, indecisive price action.
Layer 4 — H1 Higher Timeframe Bias The H1 timeframe is analysed independently: price vs H1 MA200, H1 ADX strength, and H1 DI alignment. Long entries are only taken when H1 is bullish or neutral. Short entries require H1 to be bearish or neutral. This prevents the most damaging type of loss: entering with M15 momentum directly against the H1 institutional trend.
ENTRY RULES — ALL SIX CONDITIONS REQUIRED
LONG Entry:
- Price inside valid Bullish FVG on M15 (minimum 8 pips)
- Bullish Stop Hunt confirmed on a mapped liquidity zone
- Bullish Engulfing or Pinbar, close above FVG midpoint
- Price above MA20 and MA200, MA20 above MA200
- ADX above 22 with +DI dominant over -DI
- H1 bias is Bullish or Neutral
- RSI(14) above 50 — momentum confirmation
- Tick volume above 20-bar average
- Minimum 4 hours since last trade (anti-overtrading)
SHORT Entry — mirror conditions with all same gates
RISK AND POSITION MANAGEMENT
Fixed Percentage Risk — 0.8% of account balance per trade by default, fully adjustable between 0.1% and 10%. Lot size is calculated fresh on every entry using current balance and stop loss distance.
1:3 Risk/Reward Ratio — every trade targets three times the risk. Combined with the strict entry filters that prioritize high-probability setups, this ratio provides a mathematical edge even at moderate win rates.
Breakeven at +25 pips — Stop Loss moves to entry plus 1 pip automatically, converting the trade to risk-free once the position has moved 25 pips in profit.
Trailing Stop at +35 pips — Once the trade has gained 35 pips, the stop trails at a 20-pip distance, locking in profits progressively as Gold makes its institutional moves.
Maximum Daily Loss Guard — Configurable daily stop (default 3%). When cumulative daily losses reach this threshold, the EA stops trading for the rest of the day. Essential for prop firm accounts and capital preservation.
Anti-Overtrading — A mandatory minimum of 16 bars (4 hours on M15) must pass between trades. This prevents the EA from re-entering on the same exhausted structure and accumulating sequential losses.
BUILT-IN PROTECTION FILTERS
Spread Filter — Maximum 2.0 pips spread enforced. Only tightened slightly from the previous version to ensure entries happen with clean pricing, not during news spikes or low-liquidity periods.
London + New York Session Filter — Trading restricted to 07:00–17:00 GMT, the overlap window where XAUUSD liquidity is highest and institutional order flow is most reliable. Fully deactivatable.
High-Impact USD News Filter — MQL5 Economic Calendar integration blocks all new entries 30 minutes before and after NFP, FOMC, CPI, ISM, PPI, and Fed speeches. Buffer time is adjustable.
Universal Margin Guard — Before every order, the EA calculates required margin using the formula (lots × contract size × price) / leverage and silently skips the trade if insufficient margin is available — no failed orders, no error logs, no account blown by insufficient funds.

BACKTEST PERFORMANCE TARGETS
Optimised on XAUUSD M15 — 2022 to 2026 — Every Tick Based on Real Ticks
| Metric | Target |
|---|---|
| Profit Factor | Above 2.5 |

| Win Rate | Above 65% |
| Average RR per trade | Above 1:2.8 |
| Trades per month | 8 to 20 |
| Expectancy per trade | Above 1.2R |
The lower trade frequency compared to standard EAs is intentional — fewer but higher-quality setups produce better risk-adjusted returns than high-frequency systems.

WHAT CHANGED FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS
Version 4 addresses the core issue found in earlier backtests: losing during low-momentum, ranging markets. The three new systems work together — ADX quality gate, DI directional confirmation, and H1 HTF alignment — to create a strict pre-entry checklist that eliminates the majority of false ICT signals. The 1:3 RR ratio (up from 1:2) and 4-hour anti-overtrading rule further improve the mathematical expectancy of each trade taken.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does it trade less than other ICT EAs? By design. Fewer, higher-quality setups produce better risk-adjusted returns. The ADX gate and H1 confirmation together can reduce signals by 50-70% compared to raw FVG systems, but those filtered signals have significantly higher accuracy.
Can it be used with prop firms? Yes. Set RiskPercent to 0.5%, MaxDailyLossPct to 2.0%, and UseSessionFilter to true. The daily loss guard and conservative lot sizing make it suitable for funded account rules.
Does it need a VPS? Yes, strongly recommended. The news filter requires stable connectivity, and session-based entries on M15 can be missed with unreliable internet connections.
Does it repaint? No. All logic uses closed bars from offset 1 onwards. No lookahead bias in any calculation.
Is the source code available? Sold as compiled ex5. Source code is not included in the standard licence.
