Gold Hedge is a fully automated expert advisor for MetaTrader 4. It is aimed at gold, XAUUSD, and combines trend-following entries with a hedging mechanism: instead of simply accepting a stop-loss, it prepares an opposite pending order with a larger lot at that level.
The expert reads the direction of the trend on the daily chart and opens a trade in that direction with a take profit and a stop level. At the stop level it places a pending order in the opposite direction, sized larger than the first trade.
If the first trade reaches its take profit, the expert can open another position in the same direction to continue the trend.
If price reaches the stop level, the opposite pending order is triggered. The expert then watches the combined result of both positions and closes the pair once the total is positive. The next trade follows the direction of the last winning position.
If price touches both entry levels and the combined result stays negative, the expert adds another pending order. It closes the whole set only in one of two cases:
After a loss cap is hit, you decide whether the expert should start a new cycle.
The logic is designed for XAUUSD with the trend taken from the D1 chart. The developer states that the intended trading conditions assume a gold spread of about 20 points or less. Other symbols can be tested, but the strategy was not designed for them. Check your broker's symbol name, contract size and typical spread.
Exact input names and defaults are not listed here, so open the input tab after attaching the expert and read each field. The areas below deserve attention.
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Lot size | Starting volume and how much larger the hedge order is |
| Take profit and stop distance | Distances in points for your broker's gold quotes |
| Loss cap | Percentage of initial capital at which all trades are closed |
| Restart behaviour | Whether a new cycle starts after the cap is reached |
The developer mentions a tested XAUUSD setup that can be requested after purchase.
Hedging with larger opposite orders means exposure can grow quickly during choppy or fast markets. Wide spreads, slippage and swap can also change the outcome compared with a test. Review lot sizes and the loss cap before using real funds.
Trading carries risk, and you can lose some or all of your capital. Past results, including backtests, do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account first.
Running the expert on a VPS can help keep it connected, since pending orders and open hedges need ongoing monitoring.

No. This listing is the MetaTrader 4 version and it will not load in MetaTrader 5. Check that your broker offers MT4 accounts before buying.
The logic is designed around gold, XAUUSD, with the trend read from the daily chart. You can test other symbols in the Strategy Tester, but the intended setup is for gold. Confirm the symbol name your broker uses, since some add suffixes.
Yes. The strategy opens opposite positions on the same symbol, so the account must allow hedging. It also relies on tight spreads, and the developer states the XAUUSD spread should not go much beyond 20 points. Check your broker's typical gold spread, commission and stop-level rules.
The expert can be set to close all open trades once the combined loss reaches a chosen percentage of initial capital. After that, you decide whether it should open new trades. Because lot sizes grow in the hedge orders, check the lot settings carefully on a demo account first.
Unzip the download, copy the expert file into the MQL4/Experts folder through File, Open Data Folder in MT4, then restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator. Attach it to an XAUUSD chart and enable Algo Trading.
The developer says they use a tested setup on XAUUSD and suggests contacting them after purchase to ask about it. Exact values are not listed here, so test any set on a demo account before using real funds.
