See how Gold Breakout Fusion, combined with Gold Spectrum, produced +$70,986 with only 4.54% drawdown over more than 7 years, at a correlation of just 0.2. Read the full portfolio analysis on my blog.
A breakout Expert Advisor for Gold (XAUUSD), built for serious traders, prop firm challenges and live accounts. Plug-and-play: drop the EA on a single XAUUSD chart, pick a risk level and let it work. No optimization needed, no parameters to tune, no charts to watch. The strategy is daily swing breakouts checked every hour.
How it works
Gold Breakout Fusion runs 5 independent breakout strategies in parallel, each with its own swing detection logic, stop loss, take profit and risk allocation. The combined effect is a smoother equity curve than any single strategy: diversification is what produces a Sharpe of 6.90 at 4.38% drawdown.
Swing detection runs on D1: the EA scans daily highs and lows for valid swing points and, when a swing is intact and price approaches it, places a stop order just beyond the level. There is an optional trend filter on H4, where a 50 EMA acts as directional bias, allowing buy stops only above the EMA and sell stops only below; this filter is configurable and can be turned off, switched to SMA, or have its period changed. An optional FakeOut filter rejects swings showing weak continuation signs, with three levels available: Off, Weak and Strong.
Current swings are re-evaluated at each H1 candle close, configurable to D1 or H4 if you prefer fewer signals. An optional ATR-based trailing stop makes the stop loss follow price using ATR distance, once the position is in profit by a configurable multiple of ATR(14). Risk per trade is 0.5% by default (MEDIUM mode), with LOW (0.30%) and HIGH (1.00%) presets, and a custom percentage available.
The 5 strategies use different swing parameters: some watch recent swings, others longer-term levels. This is what creates the diversification.

Why Gold Breakout Fusion
It is a set-and-forget system: load the EA once, choose a risk level, done. Every order has a fixed stop loss, with no martingale, no grid, no averaging and no recovery games. It is out-of-sample validated, with robustness confirmed on 2015 to 2019 data, a different market regime. It includes built-in prop firm tools (Daily Loss Guard, FIFO mode, execution variability) and a professional on-chart panel showing positions, P/L, performance and account state in real time. It offers 4 risk presets: LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH or a custom value.
Risk modes
LOW mode (0.30% per trade) suits small accounts and conservative growth. MEDIUM mode (0.50% per trade) is the default, recommended for most traders. HIGH mode (1.00% per trade) is for larger accounts with higher risk tolerance. CUSTOM mode lets you set the percentage of your choice, for advanced users who want precise control. Detailed risk recommendations and prop-firm-specific settings are in the installation guide.
Prop firm compatible
The Daily Loss Guard lets you set a maximum daily loss in percent. The EA monitors equity in real time and automatically closes all positions and cancels pending orders if the limit is hit, staying inactive until the next trading day. The single-position FIFO mode is for brokers and prop firms that require First-In-First-Out, limiting the EA to one open position at a time. Execution variability provides configurable variation in stop loss, take profit, entry price and lot size, with separate Min/Max ranges, useful when running the EA across multiple accounts.

What this EA is not
No martingale: losing trades are not doubled. No grid: it does not stack opposite positions. No averaging: it does not add to losing positions. No hidden recovery logic: every trade has a fixed stop loss. No guaranteed wins: trading involves real risk. This is a disciplined, transparent breakout system. Drawdowns happen and losing periods happen. The edge is statistical and materializes over hundreds of trades.
A word from the developer
Most automated trading systems sold today come wrapped in flashy labels: AI, machine learning, neural networks, ChatGPT, quantum algorithms. These are marketing tools, not real edges. They exist to convince the buyer they stumbled onto a money-printing machine.
You did not. Almost none of those systems survive real conditions. They are overfit to historical data, look fabulous in the seller's screenshots, and quietly destroy live accounts month after month.
That is not what I sell. The EAs I publish rest on classic, well-understood market behaviors, the kind of patterns that have existed for decades and keep working because they reflect how real money moves in markets. There is no hidden AI doing magic. There is structure, rules and a documented statistical edge that held in out-of-sample tests.
One more honest note: be careful with systems sold under labels like ICT or SMC. These frameworks rely heavily on human judgment to identify setups. When someone claims to have automated them in a black-box EA, it usually means the rules were never clearly defined, and a poorly defined rule cannot have a measurable edge.
Those looking for hype will find plenty of sellers offering it. For anyone looking for a transparent, rule-based system with disclosed numbers and known limitations, this product is the right choice.

Disclaimer: past results are not indicative of future results. Trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for all investors. Backtest results were obtained on historical data from a specific broker; live account results may differ due to spread, slippage, execution latency and broker-specific conditions. It is essential to use appropriate risk management and never risk money you cannot afford to lose. The author does not guarantee profits and accepts no liability for trading losses.
