📋 Verification Status (2026-05-31)
- MT5 Strategy Tester (7-yr backtest) Passed: PF=3.41 / DD=46.10%
- Minimum-lot 2-4 week forward test In preparation
- Live operation recommended after confirming PF≥1.5 is maintained in forward testing
- The same strategy was deployed on 10 other currencies (USDJPY/EURUSD, etc.) but all had PF<0.7 → XAUUSD-only, confirmed
Strategy Features
NY Session Breakout
Targets the flow around the London fix at UTC 15. It references the Asia-session range (UTC 0-4) and enters in the direction the NY session breaks that high/low.
Asymmetric Design: Tight SL + Distant TP
SL=0.5 ATR / TP1=0.5 ATR (partial close) / TP2=10.0 ATR. An early cut (close half if it moves ATR×0.5 against you within 5 bars) suppresses DD.
Strict Time Filter
ExcludeHours=16,17,18,19 = effectively allows entries only at UTC 15. Designed to completely avoid noisy time periods.
XAUUSD-Specific Edge
Gold has low correlation with other assets and tends to produce strong trends during NY hours. This characteristic is the source of PF=3.41. The same strategy does not work on other currencies.
Recommended Settings
| Item | Recommended Value |
|---|---|
| Pair | XAUUSD (GOLD on XM, etc.) |
| Timeframe | H1 |
| Risk per trade | 6% (default) |
| Minimum Capital | $1,000+ |
| Broker | Exness / XM / HFM (offering XAUUSD) |
| VPS | 24-hour operation recommended |
| Expected Monthly Return | ~2.5% (CAGR ~33%, based on live measurements) |
* The expected monthly return is based on MT5 Strategy Tester measurements. In live operation, expect a further 20-30% reduction due to slippage, etc.
How the strategy works (entry, stop, target)
On XAUUSD H1, it captures the New York session breakout of the range built up during the Asian session, combining a tight stop with two-stage profit taking.

Run Mode
The "RunMode" setting switches how aggressively the EA trades. On EAs whose chart panel has run-mode buttons, you can also switch with one click (applies from the next new entry). Only the lot (risk) changes — entry/exit logic, symbol and timeframe stay the same.
Defensive
×0.5Half the Standard lot. For capital preservation or first-time automated trading.
Standard (recommended)
×1.0The reference risk level. Start here.
Aggressive
×2.0Twice the Standard lot. Drawdowns deepen and the risk of ruin rises. Use only money you can afford to lose.
Per-mode backtests for this EA have not been measured. We do not publish figures estimated from Standard.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. With compounding on, lots adjust automatically to the balance.
