Zistilo EA X01

Zistilo AI Gold Tester is an automated MetaTrader 5 trading system designed primarily for Gold (XAUUSD).

The EA combines a proprietary multi-timeframe Zistilo signal engine with automated BUY/SELL execution, individual and basket-based trade management, weighted fair-price calculations, session controls, economic news protection, floating-loss protection, and daily profit management.

The system analyzes market direction and signal strength across several configurable timeframes and manages every trade according to the active protection and basket-management rules.

It is designed for traders who want a structured and highly configurable automated trading environment while keeping full control over lot size, trading hours, risk limits, signal strength, and trade-management behavior.

The EA continuously analyzes the selected market using its internal Zistilo signal engine.

The signal calculation uses multiple timeframes to evaluate market direction, trend alignment, and signal strength.

When an enabled BUY or SELL signal is confirmed, the EA may open a new market position provided that all active entry conditions are satisfied.

These conditions may include:

• Spread limits

• Trading-session restrictions

• Friday restrictions

• Economic-news restrictions

• Maximum BUY/SELL trade limits

• Basket trade limits

• Daily profit protection

• Floating-loss protection

The EA manages open positions independently from the signal-generation process.

Depending on the number and structure of open trades, positions may be managed using either an individual Take Profit or a combined basket target.

A newly opened trade can initially be managed using:

• A configurable fixed Stop Loss

• A configurable individual Take Profit

The individual Take Profit is defined by TP_Points.

When the trade remains independent, the EA monitors this individual target until the trade is closed or becomes part of the basket-management logic.

When multiple eligible trades are managed together, the EA can calculate a common basket target instead of relying exclusively on the original individual Take Profit of every position.

The basket calculation uses the managed positions to determine a weighted average entry level.

This calculated level represents the basket's effective average entry or Fair Price.

The EA then applies the configured:

BasketTotalTP_Points

to calculate the unified closing target.

This allows several positions to be managed toward a common profit objective.

BUY and SELL positions are managed independently.

The Fair Price is calculated using the entry prices and volumes of the eligible managed trades.

Trades with larger lot sizes therefore have a proportionally greater influence on the resulting average entry price.

The calculated Fair Price can be used as the reference level for the basket's unified Take Profit calculation.

When enabled, the corresponding basket target can also be displayed directly on the chart.

The EA can display the calculated basket closing level as a horizontal line.

The line can optionally show the target price directly on the chart.

Depending on the selected configuration, the calculated basket target may also be applied as a real broker-side Take Profit to the relevant managed positions.

This provides both visual and broker-side protection for the active basket target.

The EA contains several independent protection mechanisms.

These protections can prevent new trades, close existing positions, or stop trading for the remainder of the trading day depending on the active configuration.

Available protection mechanisms include:

• Maximum spread control

• Fixed Stop Loss

• Maximum BUY trade limit

• Maximum SELL trade limit

• Maximum trades per basket

• Floating-loss protection

• Daily realized-profit protection

• Trading-session restrictions

• Friday trading restrictions

• Forced daily closing

• Economic-news protection

Defines the calculation length used by the Zistilo trend-bias component.

z_weight
Defines the contribution of the Zistilo trend-bias component to the total signal score.

The current structure is simplified around:

Internal Zistilo Analysis → Signal Confirmation → Market Entry → Individual TP / Basket Management → Fair Price → Unified Basket Target → Risk Protection

The EA should always be tested on a demo account or in the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester before being used with real funds.

Broker specifications may differ significantly between accounts.

Differences may include:

• Symbol names

• Contract size

• Tick size

• Tick value

• Spread

• Commission

• Swap

• Execution speed

• Minimum stop distance

• Trading hours

• Available historical data

Settings that perform well with one broker or account type may produce different results with another broker.

Users should therefore configure lot size and protection parameters according to their own account size and risk tolerance.
