Almanac Gold is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades gold (XAUUSD) on a schedule. It divides the day into time windows, gives each window to one of thirty strategies, and runs all of them from a single M5 chart.
Think of it as a timetable. Each strategy is named after a navigational star, has its own session window, its own set of indicator confirmations and its own magic number. A strategy only looks for entries during its window. Results are kept separate for each one, which makes it easier to see which part of the day is doing what.
Only one strategy can hold an open cycle at a time. Even if several of the thirty produce a signal together, exposure does not stack across them.
When price moves against an entry, the EA adds further positions at a set distance. Every added position uses the same volume as the first, not a larger one. The whole basket is closed together once price reaches a fixed target above its volume-weighted average price. Averaging can turn small pullbacks into wins, but it also means losses can build up if the market keeps moving the wrong way.
The exact names and defaults of the inputs can differ, so read the input tab in your terminal before going live. The main groups are listed below.
| Setting group | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Lot sizing | A fixed lot, or a lot scaled to balance (the default is 0.01 lot per 1,000 of balance), recalculated on every leg |
| Direction | Buy only, sell only or both |
| Broker time | Winter GMT offset and whether the broker uses daylight saving |
| Floating loss limit | Percentage of balance at which the basket is closed and a cooldown starts |
| Daily loss limit | Optional lock on new trading until the next day |
| Order and lot caps | Maximum orders per cycle and an optional cap on total open lots |
| News filter | Optional filter based on the MQL5 economic calendar |
| Start paused | Lets you check the panel before trading begins |
The EA checks free margin before each added leg and has a margin-call guard. A built-in calendar filter avoids high-impact event days, late Friday and the year-end break. These controls reduce the chance of a stop-out but cannot set a hard limit on loss, since weekend gaps, news spikes and execution problems at the broker can all move price past your limits.
A horizontal panel on the chart shows the active cycle and its distance to the floating loss limit, account and performance figures, live market data, open legs, and the state and closed results of all thirty strategies. Pause and Close All buttons let you step in manually.
Trading gold and other CFDs carries a high level of risk, and you can lose more than you expect. Past results do not predict future ones. Averaging changes the shape of risk without removing it. Test on a demo account first, pick a position size you could hold through a bad month, and only trade money you can afford to lose.
Because the EA must be online to manage open baskets, most users run it on a VPS.

It needs an MT5 hedging account. On a netting account the separate legs of a basket cannot be handled the way the EA expects, so confirm the account mode with your broker before you buy. The developer also recommends an ECN or RAW account with low spreads.
Attach it to XAUUSD on the M5 chart. The EA detects common gold symbol names, including ones with suffixes such as XAUUSD+, XAUUSDm, GOLD and GOLD.i, on 2 or 3 digit quotes. Check that the symbol is visible in Market Watch.
Yes. The session windows are built around GMT+2 and GMT+3 servers, so you enter your broker's winter GMT offset and say whether it uses daylight saving. The EA then shifts the windows for you. A wrong offset moves every window, so confirm these values with your broker.
The averaging cycle adds positions of the same volume rather than increasing the lot each time. Even so, a deep basket is a bigger exposure than the first entry, and a long move against the basket can lose more than a fixed-stop system would. Choose a lot size you can sustain.
The developer lists a minimum of 500 USD and suggests 1,000 USD at 1:500 leverage, with 1:100 as the lowest leverage. Requirements differ between brokers, so test on a demo account first and check your own margin conditions.
It is designed to run continuously, because sessions and open baskets need to be managed throughout the day. A VPS is the usual way to keep MetaTrader 5 online around the clock. If the terminal is off during an open cycle, nothing manages that basket.
