WHAT IS GOLD HYDRA?
Gold Hydra is a fully automated Expert Advisor designed exclusively for XAUUSD (Gold) on the M5 timeframe. It combines 4 independent strategies that trade different market sessions and conditions, providing consistent opportunities throughout the trading day.
Like the mythical Hydra — when one strategy faces adversity, the others continue to generate profits. Each strategy operates independently with its own entry logic, risk parameters, and session timing.
This is not a Martingale, not a Grid, not a Scalper. Every trade has a fixed Stop Loss and Take Profit.
Gold Hydra is based on proven price action and breakout logic — no black-box AI, no neural networks, no overfitted machine learning. Every entry and exit follows transparent, rule-based strategies that you can verify yourself in the Strategy Tester.

WHY GOLD HYDRA?
4 Independent Strategies
Each strategy targets a different market condition and time window. They don't interfere with each other — if one has a losing day, the others continue normally.
Smart Trade Management
- 2-Stage Partial Close: locks in 30% at 20% of TP, another 30% at 50% of TP, remaining 40% rides to full TP
- Move to Break-Even after first partial close
- Trailing Stop with early activation at 20% of TP
- Scale-In recovery system for trades moving against you
- 24-hour max holding time
Built-in Risk Protection
- Daily drawdown protection, default 4%
- DD Guard blocks new trades when drawdown is elevated
- Consecutive loss pause after 4 losses in a row
- Max spread filter with pending signal queue — signals wait for spread to normalize instead of being lost
Adaptive Volatility Filter
- Automatically skips extreme volatility days
- News filter for high-impact events in live trading
RECOMMENDED LOT SIZES
- $10,000 account: 0.05 lots, approx. 2% DD, conservative
- $25,000 account: 0.12 lots, approx. 2% DD, conservative
- $50,000 account: 0.25 lots, approx. 2% DD, conservative
- $100,000 account: 0.50 lots (default), approx. 4% DD, standard
- $100,000 account: 0.80 lots, approx. 6% DD, aggressive
- $200,000 account: 1.00 lots, approx. 4% DD, standard
You can also use Risk-Based sizing per strategy. Set a Risk % and the EA calculates the optimal lot size based on Stop Loss distance automatically.
