Overview
Gold EA utilizes a 200-period EMA for trend direction and a 50-period EMA for entry signals, further filtered by RSI momentum and ADX volatility measures. The EA includes sophisticated trade management features such as ATR-based dynamic trailing stops, automated swap avoidance, and scheduled Friday exits. Risk is controlled through equity-based lot sizing, spread filters, daily drawdown limits, and hard stop losses. The repository lacks a README, but the code documentation is detailed.
- Dual EMA trend and pullback entry logic
- Volatility-adjusted trailing stops using ATR
- Automated swap avoidance and end-of-day exit modules
- Equity-based drawdown protection and risk scaling
- Market regime filtering to avoid choppy price action
