Gold Master
Gold Master sets one straddle a day on gold, just before the busiest hours of the market: a buy stop above the price and a sell stop below it. Whichever way gold breaks, it is in the move - and the other order is cancelled.
A trend filter checks the market before and while the orders rest: when gold is in a strong trend, the side against the trend is not placed, or is cancelled. Every trade has a small fixed stop loss from the first second and a tight trailing stop that locks in the profit early. Nothing rests overnight, and it sits out Mondays and US jobs-report (NFP) days.

How it trades
One straddle a day
Once a day, before the busiest hours, it places a buy stop above gold and a sell stop below it. The first break decides the trade; the other order is cancelled.
Trades with the trend
When gold is in a strong trend, the side against it is not placed - and a resting order the trend turns against is cancelled.
Small fixed stop
Every order carries a small fixed stop loss from the first second. A loss is always a known, small amount.
Tight trailing exit
The trailing stop starts early and follows closely, so a winning move is protected quickly.
Skips the risky days
No straddle on Mondays or US jobs-report (NFP) days, and nothing rests overnight or into the weekend.
Two logics for two markets
It watches its own recent results. In a range market it stops following breakouts and fades them instead - small fixed stop and target - or waits, until breakouts work again.
Signals from our server
The levels come signed from our licence server - the same for every partner, nothing to tune.
What you need
Suggested capital = 3 times the worst drawdown in our backtest, or 33 times its biggest single loss if that is more - so the worst stretch we tested costs at most a third of the account, and one losing trade about 3%.
Lot size by deposit
Our recommendation
Under $300? Open a cent account. With $50 on a cent account, Gold Master trades up to 0.16 cent lots - the worst drawdown in our test would have cost about $3. That is a safe start, and the lot grows with your balance.
$300 or more? A USD account works too: 0.01 lot needs $300, where the worst test drawdown was about $18 (6% of it). Never more lot than the table below: our server holds every account to it.
Our server sets the most this EA can trade from your balance, so the account is never over-lotted. Bigger balance, bigger lot. Running several EAs on one account? Add up their amounts - the balance is shared.
| Deposit | USD account | Cent account |

| $50 | - | 0.16 |

| $600 | 0.02 | 2.00 |
| $1,500 | 0.05 | 5.00 |
| $3,000 | 0.10 | 10.00 |
| $6,000 | 0.20 | 20.00 |
| $15,000 | 0.50 | 50.00 |
| $30,000 | 1.00 | 100.00 |
Max lot per order for this EA alone. Cent lots are 100 times smaller, so a cent account can start from $50. "-" = deposit too small for this EA.
