Gold Fever
Daily breakout trading on gold with controlled risk
Gold Fever is a fully automated Expert Advisor for gold (XAUUSD). Every trading day it reads the key levels of the previous day and places two pending orders: a Buy Stop above and a Sell Stop below. When gold breaks out, the EA is already in the market, with a fixed Stop Loss and Take Profit set on every trade.
How it trades
- At the start of each day the EA removes its own old pending orders.
- It takes the levels of the previous trading day: fractals on the timeframe you choose, or the daily High and Low.
- It places a Buy Stop above the upper level and a Sell Stop below the lower level, with an entry buffer. Long and short entries can be switched on and off separately.
- Open trades are managed by break-even and trailing stops.

Default settings, risk and deposit
The default settings are the tested configuration: Volume mode = Risk % of balance, Risk per order = 1, Distance used to size the risk = 0, maximum lot 50. The backtest above was made with exactly these values, so you get the same behavior out of the box. With distance 0 the lot is calculated from the Stop Loss, so a stopped-out trade loses about 1% of the balance.
Example: balance 10,000 USD, risk 1% = 100 USD. With a Stop Loss of 2,000 points, the EA opens about 0.05 lot, and a stopped trade loses about 100 USD.
You can raise or lower the risk with Risk per order. Other volume modes: fixed lot, percent of equity, fixed money per trade, and a balance lot that grows with the account. A higher risk means higher profit potential and deeper drawdowns.
Deposit. Recommended: from 2,000 USD. Minimum: about 1,000 USD, where the minimum lot of 0.01 already risks about 2% per trade (about 20 USD at the default Stop Loss). The backtest used a 10,000 USD deposit; on small accounts results will differ because the lot is rounded to 0.01.
