Gold Gap Trading EA

Gold Gap Trading EA

Gold Gap Trading EA is a specialized automated trading system designed specifically for  XAUUSD (Gold). It combines the classic  Gap Theory with a solid Trend Following logic to ensure high-probability entries.

The EA does not just trade every gap; it waits for a price  Retest of the gap level and confirms the entry using an internal trend filter (Moving Average) and price action analysis. This Multi-Timeframe logic (analyzing M15 trend while trading on M5) makes it robust and suitable for volatile markets like Gold.

How It Works:

1. Gap Detection: The EA identifies price gaps (jumps in price) greater than a specific size.

2. Retest Confirmation: It waits for the price to return (retest) the gap level.

3. Trend Filter: It checks the trend on the M15 timeframe (using SMA 21) to ensure we are trading with the market flow, even if attached to the M5 chart.

4. Execution: A trade is opened only when price action confirms the direction (break of high/low).
