This Expert Advisor (EA) is designed to trade the Gold / U.S. Dollar (XAUUSD) exchange rate fully automatically, using the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) platform. The system opens both long and short positions on the hourly timeframe (H1) and is based on an analysis model that exploits the recurring behaviour of fractals in price movements.
Two fundamental aspects related to the quality and reliability of the system will be discussed in the full post:
- Risk management
The system integrates essential risk management tools: stop loss, take profit and trailing stop. These parameters provide constant control over open trades, allowing profits to be protected and losses to be limited. Customisation of key values-such as position size, exit levels and other operational parameters-is only available upon direct request and allows the strategy to be adapted to one's risk profile and individual objectives. - Robustness check
In order to validate the reliability of the Expert Advisor in an environment without centralised regulation, backtests were conducted on data from different brokers in order to assess its stability with respect to changes in price flows. Further tests were conducted on servers with different timezones to verify operational consistency in the presence of differently structured candles. Finally, an Out-Of-Sample (OOS) test was performed to measure the behaviour of the system on data never used in the development phase, thus reducing the risk of overfitting.
The post proposes a detailed analysis of performance metrics, with the aim of providing traders with a clear view of both the historical effectiveness of the system and its adaptability in different operating contexts. This information allows the user to more consciously evaluate the integration of EA within their trading approach. The Expert Advisor performance results intentionally refer to a non-optimised version of the system.
The last section of the content concerns the current operational status of the system, which may change over time if the EA is replaced or deactivated. As long as the system remains active, registered users can download the Expert Advisor executable file free of charge, ready to be integrated into the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) platform.
