Swing Level Trend Breakout — Expert Advisor for XAUUSD (Gold)
by 1n5ane | 523 Trading Labs
Swing Level Trend Breakout trades breakouts of higher-timeframe swing levels in the direction of the prevailing trend. It was designed, built and tested specifically for Gold (XAUUSD) on the M5 chart.
The logic is rule-based and fully automated. Every trade is opened with a hard Stop Loss and Take Profit, and the EA never uses grid, martingale or averaging techniques.
Key features
- Built for XAUUSD on the M5 timeframe
- Every trade has a hard Stop Loss and Take Profit
- No grid, no martingale, no averaging
- Automatic breakeven protection
- Position sizing by risk % of equity, or fixed lots
- Separate risk settings for Buy and Sell trades
- Spread filter, max open positions and total open risk cap
- Optional CSV trade report for your own analysis
Quick start
- Open an XAUUSD chart (broker suffixes such as XAUUSD.a are fine) and set it to M5.
- Attach the EA and enable Algo Trading.
- Set your risk with “Buy/Sell: risk % of equity” (default 0.5%), or switch Lot mode to Fixed lots and enter your lot size.
All other settings are pre-configured.
Recommendations
- Symbol: XAUUSD
- Timeframe: M5
- Account type: hedging, low spread / raw spread
- Broker: developed and tested on Pepperstone MT5
- Suggested minimum balance: $2,000 at the default 0.5% risk. Smaller accounts will trade the broker’s minimum lot, which can mean more than 0.5% risk per trade.
- Run on a VPS for uninterrupted operation
