Impulse is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades gold (XAUUSD) only. It runs six different entry strategies side by side and manages every trade through one shared framework, so you can choose between a recovery grid and a classic single position with a stop loss and take profit.
Every decision is made at a confirmed bar close. Entries, grid additions and exits are not triggered by individual ticks or unfinished candles, which keeps the logic consistent between live trading and testing. The six strategies use different logic and are meant to complement each other, so one may find a setup when another sees nothing.
By default a signal opens a grid basket. Each added level uses the same lot size as the first entry, so there is no martingale increase in size, although a deep basket still means more total exposure. A virtual take profit closes the basket. In single position mode, each signal opens one trade with a stop loss and take profit held at the broker. An optional grid expansion setting widens the spacing at depth for a more defensive basket.
Impulse is built for XAUUSD only. Attach it to one gold chart; the strategies pull in other timeframes internally. Check the product documentation for the recommended chart timeframe, and confirm your broker's gold symbol name, contract size and typical spread before running it.
The advisor is meant to run with defaults, and exact default values can differ between builds, so check them in the inputs tab rather than relying on this page.
| Input area | What it does |
|---|---|
| Lot size | Initial and per-level volume; size it to your balance and risk |
| Entry mode | Standard, or Conservative for fewer and stricter entries |
| Trade mode | Recovery grid, or single position with stop loss and take profit |
| Grid expansion | Optional wider spacing at deeper levels |
| News filter | Pauses trading around news; needs a WebRequest whitelist entry |
A dark on-chart panel shows daily profit and loss, daily drawdown and the status of each of the six strategies, so you can see what is active at a glance.
Trading gold is risky. Grid baskets can accumulate large floating losses in a persistent trend, and past results do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account first and only risk money you can afford to lose.

It is designed only for XAUUSD. Attach it to a gold chart from your broker. If your broker uses a suffix or a different gold symbol name, check that the symbol loads correctly in the terminal before running it live.
This version is for MetaTrader 5. It will not load in MetaTrader 4, so make sure your account and terminal are MT5 before you buy.
The author designed it to run on default settings, so the main input you normally set is the lot size. The author suggests 0.01 lots per 1,500 USD of balance as a starting point, but you should decide your own size based on your risk tolerance and test on a demo account first.
Open Tools, then Options, then the Expert Advisors tab in MT5, tick the option to allow WebRequest for listed URLs, and add the news filter address given in the product documentation. Without it, the news filter cannot fetch data.
In grid mode a signal opens a basket and later levels add the same lot size as the first. In single position mode each signal opens one trade with a broker-side stop loss and take profit that you configure.
No. Trading gold carries a high level of risk, grid baskets can build large floating losses, and past results do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account and use money you can afford to lose.
