XAUUSD Zones Trading: Free MT5 Expert Advisor

Overview

XAUUSD Zones Trading identifies zones based on directional streaks of five or more consecutive candles and executes trades when the price retests these newly formed areas. Risk is managed via fixed lot sizing, automated stop loss and take profit levels with a one-to-three reward ratio, and a minimum stop loss buffer. The tool includes integrated time and day filters to limit activity to specific market sessions and records trade data to a CSV file.
