LQS Adaptive Gold PRO

LQS Adaptive Gold PRO is an Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 designed for gold trading symbols. The EA uses one M1 model strategy and trades the symbol of the chart to which it is attached.

The EA does not require a fixed symbol name. It can be attached to broker-specific gold symbols such as XAUUSD, XAUUSDm, GOLD or other gold symbols with prefixes or suffixes. The model was developed using gold price data and is not intended for other markets.

### Strategy structure

This version uses one model built from M1 price data. Entry conditions are evaluated every 15 minutes by default. One magic number is used to manage trade history, signal state and positions.

The EA can maintain a maximum of one position at a time. It does not use M5 or M15 models and does not contain multi-timeframe confirmation, forced-entry or fallback trading functions.

### Signal method

The EA calculates price, volatility, trend-efficiency and time features from completed M1 bars. A pre-trained tree-based model then produces a directional probability.

The current feature state is classified into one of four market regimes:

- Range

- Trend

- Breakout

- Shock

Each regime has its own confidence threshold. The EA attempts to open a position only when the model direction and confidence distance meet the applicable threshold. When no qualified signal is available, the EA remains flat. It does not force trades to reach a daily trade count.

### Model data process

Model research used a chronological data split. Earlier data was used for training, later data was used for setting selection, and the final period was reserved for out-of-sample validation. An embargo matching the holding period was applied between data sections to reduce label leakage across boundaries.

Historical research is used to examine model behavior and does not represent or guarantee future trading results.

### Position management

The default holding time is 90 minutes. A position is closed after the configured holding time expires. This version does not use reverse-signal exits.

Each trade receives an emergency stop calculated from an M1 ATR multiplier. The stop calculation also considers the symbol minimum stop distance and current spread. The EA does not use grid stacking, martingale or loss-recovery position sizing.

### Lot management

The default initial size is 0.01 lot.

Optional step compounding is enabled by default. When account equity rises above the compounding base by the configured equity step, the calculated volume increases by 0.01 lot. The final volume remains subject to the maximum lot input, broker minimum volume, volume step, risk and margin limits.

Main protection settings include:

- Maximum emergency stop risk per trade

- Maximum margin usage as a percentage of equity

- Minimum allowed equity

- Realized cycle-loss entry pause

- Maximum daily trade count

- Maximum order deviation

- Maximum allowed lot size

The trades-before-loss-pause input only determines when the realized-loss protection may begin. It is not a required minimum trade count and does not activate forced entries.

The EA cancels an entry attempt, or the broker may reject it, when volume, free margin, stop distance, quote data or trading conditions do not meet the symbol requirements.

### Trading-session handling

The EA reads the broker trading-session schedule of the attached symbol and checks current quote availability before opening a position. No new position is opened while the market is closed or quote data is stale.

Daily trade statistics, realized results and loss-pause status are calculated independently using the EA magic number.

### Push notifications

Push notifications are optional and disabled by default.

When enabled, a notification can display:

- Current symbol and M1 model

- Open-position or flat status

- Most recent evaluation time and next evaluation time

- Latest long or short probability

- Current market regime

- Whether the signal qualified or its remaining threshold distance

- Daily trade count and current trading status

- Broker trading-session progress

Push notifications require notification settings to be configured in the MetaTrader 5 terminal.

### Default configuration

- Model timeframe: M1

- Signal interval: 15 minutes

- Holding time: 90 minutes

- Initial lot size: 0.01

- Maximum simultaneous positions: 1

- Step compounding: Enabled

- Push notifications: Disabled

### Recommended setup

- Platform: MetaTrader 5

- Intended market: Gold

- Recommended chart: Broker gold symbol

- Recommended attached timeframe: M1

- Strategy Tester mode: Every tick based on real ticks

- Algo Trading: Enabled

The attached chart timeframe does not change the internal M1 model timeframe. An M1 chart is recommended for convenient monitoring and testing.

### Version 9.01

- Uses one M1 model strategy

- Removes M15 and other multi-timeframe strategies

- Removes fallback and forced-entry functions

- Retains four market regimes and their separate confidence thresholds

- Retains timed exits, emergency stops, volume controls and margin protection

- Retains single-strategy push monitoring

### Testing and risk notice

Trading results depend on historical data quality, spread, commission, slippage, execution delay, swap, leverage, contract specifications and broker trading conditions. Strategy Tester results may differ from live trading results. Historical testing does not guarantee future performance.

Users should test the EA using their own broker data and review the symbol specifications, initial deposit, volume and risk settings before enabling live trading.
