Gold Trend Following EA is an automated expert advisor for MetaTrader 4 that trades gold (XAUUSD). It looks for directional moves on the one-minute chart, confirms them with several common indicators and tick volume, and manages the trade without manual input.
The EA combines a set of well-known indicators rather than relying on a single signal. Exponential moving averages define the prevailing direction, MACD and RSI help judge momentum, and Bollinger Bands give context on how stretched price is. A volume check is meant to filter out entries when activity is thin.
Because the exit depends on price crossing a moving average, a sharp reversal can move a long way against a position before the exit is triggered. Think about this when choosing lot size and account leverage.
The EA is built for gold, quoted as XAUUSD, and is tuned for the M1 chart. Brokers use different symbol names and contract sizes for gold, so confirm the symbol on your account and check the spread and commission before running it. Gold spreads can widen around news releases and at rollover, which matters a lot on a one-minute strategy.
The exact input names and default values can differ between builds, so open the input tab after attaching the EA and read each parameter before enabling live trading. In general you should expect to find the following groups.
| Group | What to check |
|---|---|
| Trading hours | Start and end time, interpreted in broker server time |
| Lot size | Balance-based sizing or a fixed lot, plus any risk percentage |
| Indicator inputs | EMA, MACD, RSI and Bollinger Bands periods |
| Volume filter | Any threshold used to skip low-activity periods |
| Exit rule | The EMA used for closing trades and any optional protective stop |
If you change indicator inputs, test the effect in the Strategy Tester and then on a demo account. Avoid tuning values only to fit one historical period.
Trading carries risk, including the loss of your deposit, and past results do not predict future ones. Automated strategies on gold can lose money during ranging markets, wide spreads or fast news moves. Use position sizes you can afford and test on a demo account first.
Run it on a virtual private server if you want it to operate continuously, since it needs the terminal to stay open and connected.

No. This listing is for MetaTrader 4 only. It will not load in MT5, so check which terminal you use before buying.
It is designed for gold (XAUUSD) on the one-minute chart. Your broker may name the symbol differently, for example with a suffix, so attach it to that broker's gold symbol and confirm the inputs in the EA settings window.
Extract the downloaded archive, copy the expert file into the MQL4/Experts folder through File > Open Data Folder in MT4, then restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator. Drag the EA onto a gold chart and tick Allow Algo Trading in the properties window.
The EA is described as closing trades when price crosses an EMA instead of relying on a conventional stop-loss. Check the input list in your copy to see whether a protective stop can also be set, and consider whether you need one for your risk tolerance.
Yes. The EA lets you set a start and end time for its trading session. Make sure the times match your broker's server time, which often differs from your local time.
Not necessarily. Spreads, slippage, execution speed and gold contract specifications vary between brokers, and past results do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account first.
