XAU Liquidity Retest EA
17 Years of Algorithmic Trading Experience Built into an XAUUSD Strategy
XAU Liquidity Retest EA is not based on random entries or isolated indicator signals. It uses a deterministic strategy that analyzes market structure, liquidity sweeps, displacement, Order Blocks, and retests before validating an entry.
The EA manages each position in three stages: M15–M5–M3 multi-timeframe analysis, Selective entries based on SMC confluence, TP1, TP2 and a remaining runner toward TP3. It can move the stop to break-even after TP1 and apply ATR trailing after TP2. Hedging and netting accounts are supported; partial-close behavior depends on the broker's minimum volume and volume step.
The objective is not to trade constantly, but to wait for defined market structures and manage every position with clear rules.
""Introductory price!! Unit 112 (rear) — price will increase in stages by 25%.""

Try adjusting the "Total Risk per position" variable to see its potential; it is currently set to 1.5 (moderate risk). Change it—try 2 or 2.5—and be amazed by the results... plus, the drawdown is impressively low—it will blow you away.

## Included 10,000 USD test preset default
The EA includes for default `XAU_Liquidity_Retest_10,000USD.set`: 1.5% risk, TP1 1.2R, TP2 1.75R, TP3 2.5R, 40%/30% partial exits, maximum 10 trades per day, three consecutive losses and a 20-minute cooldown.
The $10,000 deposit is configured in **Strategy Tester > Settings**; it is not saved within the `.set` file. This is an aggressive test preset. For more conservative exposure, `InpRiskPercent` can be adjusted—either reduced to 0.5–1.0% or increased to 2.0–2.5%—since the bot manages drawdown exceptionally well.
