Flipper Classic is a fully automated Expert Advisor for XAUUSD (Gold). It trades a breakout of the early-session price range, with a trend filter and a fixed risk per trade.
The EA opens at most one trade per day. It does not use martingale, grid, hedging or averaging. Every trade has a stop loss and a take profit from the moment it is opened.
HOW IT WORKS
1. At the session start time (default 04:00 GMT) the EA builds a price range from the first bars of the session (default: 5 bars of M10).
2. It waits for a candle (default M5) to close above the upper edge or below the lower edge of the range.
3. An EMA filter (12/26) confirms the direction: Buy only when the fast EMA is above the slow EMA, Sell only when it is below.
4. The stop loss is placed at the opposite edge of the range. The take profit is set by a fixed Reward:Risk ratio (default 1:3).
5. When the trade reaches 0.5R in profit, the stop loss is moved to break-even plus a small offset.
6. Days with a range that is too narrow compared to the daily ATR are skipped.
FEATURES
- One trade per day maximum
- Stop loss and take profit on every trade
- Lot size calculated from a risk percentage of the balance (or a fixed lot)
- Session time set in GMT and converted to your broker's server time automatically, including daylight saving changes
- Works the same on any chart timeframe (all timeframes are set in the inputs)
- Optional spread filter, range size filters and volatility filter
- Range and status shown on the chart
RECOMMENDATIONS
- Symbol: XAUUSD (Gold)
- Chart timeframe: any (M5 recommended)
- Minimum deposit: 500 USD; 1000 USD or more recommended
- Risk: 1% per trade (default). Higher risk increases drawdown.
- A VPS is recommended so the EA can run without interruption.
- Low-spread ECN or Raw accounts are recommended.
STRATEGY TESTER
In the Strategy Tester the EA cannot read the real GMT time. Set "Broker GMT offset used in Strategy Tester" to your broker's server offset (for example 2 for a GMT+2 server). On a live or demo account this is detected automatically.
PLEASE NOTE
The strategy has losing periods that can last several months. Past test results do not guarantee future results. Test the EA on a demo account first and use a risk level you are comfortable with.
