Gold Ranger
Trades gold's daily breakout. Each afternoon it marks the high and low of the last 24 hours on XAUUSD and places stop orders at those levels, so it is in the trade as soon as gold breaks out of its range. Every trade has a fixed stop loss from the moment it opens, and a trailing stop locks in the profit as the move grows. One position at a time - no martingale, no grid. It stays out on Mondays, on NFP days, around high-impact news and during sudden price spikes. Live results are verified on MyFxBook.

How it trades
One setup a day
Once a day it marks the high and the low of the last 24 hours and waits just beyond them with buy-stop and sell-stop orders.
Fixed stop on every trade
Every order carries its stop loss from the first second.
Trailing exit
A trailing stop follows a breakout and locks in the profit.
Skips the risky days
No setup on Mondays or on US jobs-report (NFP) days.
Spike and liquidity guard
Orders step aside in sudden price spikes, and nothing rests over the rollover, Friday evening or 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 $400? Open a cent account. With $50 on a cent account, Gold Ranger trades up to 0.12 cent lots - the worst drawdown in our test would have cost about $4. That is a safe start, and the lot grows with your balance.
$400 or more? A USD account works too: 0.01 lot needs $400, where the worst test drawdown was about $32 (8% 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 | - | 0.12 |
| $100 | - | 0.25 |
| $400 | 0.01 | 1.00 |
| $800 | 0.02 | 2.00 |
| $2,000 | 0.05 | 5.00 |
| $4,000 | 0.10 | 10.00 |
| $8,000 | 0.20 | 20.00 |
| $20,000 | 0.50 | 50.00 |
| $40,000 | 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.
