Overview

Golden Nights is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades gold (XAUUSD) during the quieter overnight hours. It opens positions inside a time window you define, filters entries with common indicators, and manages exits with ATR-based levels.

How it works

The EA is built around the idea that gold can behave differently late in the trading day, when liquidity is thinner than during the main sessions. It only looks for entries inside the trading time you configure. Before opening a trade it checks its entry filters, which use a moving average, RSI and ATR, so the market has to meet your conditions first.

Trade management

Stop loss and take profit can be set dynamically from ATR, so distances follow current volatility.
Breakeven and trailing functions can be switched on to protect open positions.
Virtual stop loss and take profit levels are supported, with an optional visible emergency stop loss on the server.
A spread filter blocks entries when the gold spread is wider than you allow.
Drawdown protection and trading day filters limit when and how much the EA can trade.

Recovery mode

An optional recovery mode is available, with its own risk control. It changes how the EA behaves after losing trades, which can increase exposure, so test it carefully and keep it disabled until you understand its effect on your account.

Markets and timeframes

The EA is intended for XAUUSD only. The chart timeframe is not the main factor, since entries depend on the trading time window and the filters. Check the exact gold symbol name at your broker, as suffixes vary. A broker with low spreads and stable execution overnight is important, and a swap-free account is generally preferred for positions held across rollover.

Settings

Exact input names and defaults can differ between releases, so review the input list in the EA properties before running it. The main groups are:

Group	What to check
Trading time	Start and end of the overnight window in your broker's server time
Position size	Fixed lot or risk-based sizing
Exits	ATR-based or fixed SL/TP, breakeven, trailing, virtual levels
Filters	Moving average, RSI, ATR, spread limit, trading days
Protection	Daily risk limit and drawdown protection
Recovery	On or off, and its risk limits

Setting the trading hours

If your broker does not use GMT+2 with daylight saving, the gold trading hours may be different from what you expect. Open the XAUUSD specification in Market Watch and read the trading times, then align the EA window with the final trading hour before the market closes. The included broker time offset indicator can assist with this when testing and when configuring by hand.

Risk

Gold can move sharply and spreads can widen at rollover, so overnight trading is not safe by nature. Use position sizes you can afford, confirm the minimum balance suggested by the developer against your broker's contract size, and run a demo or Strategy Tester session before going live.

Trading carries risk and you can lose some or all of your capital. Backtest and past results do not predict future ones. Nothing here is financial advice.

Installation

Download the product files and extract them if they come in an archive.
In MetaTrader 5 choose File, then Open Data Folder, and copy the EA into the MQL5/Experts folder. Copy the indicator into MQL5/Indicators.
Restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator panel.
Open an XAUUSD chart and drag the EA onto it.
Turn on Algo Trading, set the trading time, sizing, exits and filters, then confirm the inputs.

Once configured it runs on its own, but check it regularly, particularly after broker time changes or changes in spread.

Before you run it on a live account

Backtest it properly. Use real tick data and your broker's spread. How to backtest an EA
Load the right set file. Use the settings file for your symbol and timeframe, and check the digits and GMT offset against your broker. Set files in MT4 and MT5
Run it on a demo account. A few weeks of live demo trading shows how it handles real spreads and slippage.
Size it to your risk. Set the lot size from the amount you're prepared to lose per trade. Position size calculator
Know the worst case. Check how deep a losing streak could take the account. Risk of ruin calculator
Keep it running. An EA only trades while its terminal is open. Running an EA on a VPS
If it opens no trades, check the Algo Trading button, the EA's own permission and its filters before anything else. EA not trading checklist

Frequently asked questions

Which platform does Golden Nights run on?

It is built for MetaTrader 5 only. It will not load in MetaTrader 4, so check which terminal your broker account uses before buying.

Which symbol and timeframe should I use?

The EA is designed for XAUUSD. The timeframe is not critical because the system works within a trading time window that you set, so you can attach it to any chart of the gold symbol. Confirm the exact symbol name at your broker, since some add suffixes.

Do I need to adjust the trading hours for my broker?

Yes, check this first. Server time differs between brokers, and gold sessions and closing times vary. Look at the symbol specification in Market Watch to see the trading times, then set the EA window to match. The included broker time offset indicator is meant to help with this, including in the Strategy Tester.

What account size and broker type are suitable?

The developer indicates a small minimum balance, but the right amount depends on your lot size, risk settings and the broker's gold contract specification. Choose a broker with low spreads and reliable overnight execution, and test on a demo account before using real funds.

Can I use it with a prop firm account?

It includes fixed daily risk limits and adjustable drawdown protection, which can help you work within a firm's rules. Rules differ between firms, so read yours carefully and verify the settings in testing first.

Does the recovery mode remove the risk of losses?

No. Recovery mode is optional and has its own risk control, but any trading approach can lose money. Trading carries risk and past results do not predict future ones.
