Gold Impulse Drive is an automated trading system for MetaTrader 5 that is written for one market: gold against the US dollar (XAUUSD). It looks for short-term momentum shifts and only acts on them when a slower trend filter agrees with the direction.
Entry timing comes from a fast stochastic oscillator. The idea is to react when price starts moving away from a stretched condition rather than to open trades continuously. A signal on its own is not enough, though. The expert advisor also reads an exponential moving average on a higher timeframe, along with the slope of that average, to decide which side of the market is allowed.
Gold spreads can widen sharply around rollover and major releases. The adaptive spread protection compares current conditions with what has recently been normal and can hold back new setups when spread expands unusually. A collapsible spread diagnostic panel on the chart shows how spread has behaved over time.
The news filter uses the native MT5 Economic Calendar by default. An external calendar source and an automatic fallback mode are also available. High, medium and low impact events can be handled separately, and the dashboard lets you switch the filter on or off and view upcoming events with countdowns.
The product is intended for XAUUSD only. Broker symbol names vary, so confirm that your gold symbol is recognised. Check the product page for the recommended chart timeframe and the higher timeframe used for the trend filter, and confirm them in the inputs after loading.

Trading gold with leverage carries a high level of risk and you can lose more than you expect. Past results, including any backtest, do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account first and only trade with money you can afford to lose.

No. This is an MT5 expert advisor and will not load in MetaTrader 4. You need an MT5 account that offers gold, usually quoted as XAUUSD.
Not with the default setting. The native MT5 Economic Calendar needs no WebRequest permission. If you choose the external news source, you must allow WebRequest for the news address shown in the settings section of this page, under Tools, Options, Expert Advisors.
Use a broker that offers gold on MT5. Symbol names differ between brokers, for example XAUUSD with a suffix or prefix, so check that the symbol on your chart is the one the expert advisor accepts. Test spreads and execution on a demo account first.
Yes. The inputs let you trade a fixed lot size or size positions from a percentage of the account. Margin checks run before new positions are opened. Review the exact input names and defaults in the inputs tab after loading it.
It is designed without martingale and without averaging down. Each setup is handled with its own protective stop-loss. This does not remove risk, and losses can still occur.
It is an optional set of limits for traders working under stricter account rules. It can watch daily loss, overall drawdown, consecutive losses, trading activity and open exposure. Check your firm's own rules and set the limits to match them yourself.
