Gold Trend Moving Average Strategy

Gold Trend Moving Average Strategy

Overview

Gold Trend EA is a professional automated trading system designed specifically for gold markets such as XAUUSD.
The strategy is based on a trend-following moving average crossover model (20/60 MA) combined with strict risk management and intelligent position control.

This EA is designed to capture medium-term gold trends while avoiding unnecessary trades during sideways markets.

It is suitable for traders who want a simple, robust, and reliable automated trading strategy for gold.

Moving Average Trend Detection

The EA uses two moving averages:

Fast Moving Average: 20 periods
Slow Moving Average: 60 periods

A buy signal is generated when:

Fast MA crosses above Slow MA
Previous bar was below or equal

This signal indicates that market momentum is shifting upward and a bullish trend may begin.

The EA automatically opens a position when this condition appears.

Once a trade is opened, the EA actively manages the position.

Dynamic Risk Control

Stop Loss: percentage based (default 5%)
Take Profit: percentage based (default 15%)

This ensures that risk and reward are always proportional to the current market price.

Smart Trailing Protection

When profit exceeds 2%, the EA automatically moves the stop loss to protect profits.

This allows winning trades to run while reducing downside risk.

Maximum Holding Time Protection

Trades are automatically closed if they exceed the maximum holding period.

Default: 5 days

This avoids long stagnating positions and improves capital efficiency.

Spread Protection

The EA will not trade if spread exceeds the defined threshold.

Default: 50 points

This helps avoid trading during unstable market conditions.

Trade Interval Protection

The EA enforces a minimum time gap between trades.

Default: 1 hour

This prevents over-trading and improves signal quality.

The EA automatically adapts to broker settings:

Minimum lot size
Maximum lot size
Lot step precision

Lot sizes are automatically normalized to avoid order errors.

This EA automatically detects gold symbols such as:

XAUUSD
GOLD
XAUUSDm
XAUUSD.pro

The system will only trade gold to ensure strategy consistency.
