Iron Stops is an MT5 expert advisor built for gold (XAUUSD) on the M30 chart. It looks for breakouts using volume acceleration, sizes lots from a stop loss distance, and pauses trading when floating loss passes a set limit.

Iron Stops is a fully automated expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades gold (XAUUSD) on the M30 chart. It is aimed at traders who want a single-chart setup with defined risk controls rather than a tool that needs constant adjustment.
The core idea is breakout trading. The expert advisor watches for sudden changes in volume, sometimes described as volume acceleration, which can appear when price is about to move away from a recent range or a support or resistance area. When its conditions are met, it opens a position with a stop loss and manages it automatically.
Trades are not meant to stay open for long. Positions are intended to be closed within 36 hours, which limits exposure to extended holding periods and overnight or weekend conditions that you may not want to carry.
The expert advisor is built for XAUUSD on M30 only. Apply it to one chart; it does not require a separate chart for each instrument. Because brokers name gold differently, check that your symbol is available and that the platform recognises it as the same instrument. Spreads, commissions and execution speed on gold can change results noticeably, so an account with reasonably tight conditions is sensible.
The table below describes the main groups of inputs. Exact names, defaults and ranges can differ, so read the input tab in your copy and test on a demo account before using real money.
| Setting group | Purpose | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Lot mode | Choose automatic risk-based or fixed volume | Match it to your account size and risk tolerance |
| Risk per trade | Sets how much balance is risked when sizing automatically | Keep it modest and confirm how it uses the stop loss |
| Drawdown limit | Stops trading when floating loss passes a threshold | Align it with any prop firm or client limits |
| Magic number and comments | Identify the expert advisor's orders | Change only if other expert advisors run on the account |
Strategy Tester results depend heavily on the configuration and on tick data quality. Use the recommended settings for the product, test with real ticks where possible, and compare more than one period. Treat tests as a way to check behaviour, not as a forecast.
A VPS is useful if you want the expert advisor running continuously without depending on a home computer or connection.
Trading leveraged instruments such as gold carries a high level of risk, and you can lose more than you expect. Past results, whether from a backtest or a live signal, 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 it will not load on MetaTrader 4. You need a MetaTrader 5 terminal and an account whose broker offers gold.
Attach it to a single XAUUSD chart on M30. The expert advisor manages its work from that one chart, so you do not need to open extra charts. Check how your broker names gold, since some add a suffix or use a different ticker.
Copy the expert advisor file into the Experts folder via File, Open Data Folder, MQL5, Experts in MT5. Restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator, drag it onto an XAUUSD M30 chart, and enable Algo Trading. Also allow automated trading in the terminal options.
You can let the expert advisor calculate volume from your account balance, the risk percentage you choose and the stop loss distance, or you can enter a fixed lot. Check the exact input names and defaults in the settings window before going live.
Yes, in the MT5 Strategy Tester, but results depend on correct configuration and good quality tick data. Use real ticks if your broker provides them, and confirm the recommended settings before relying on any test. Backtests do not predict live performance.
It includes a drawdown limit and a holding time cap, which can help you work within account rules. You still need to compare its settings with your firm's rules and test on a demo account first, because trading carries risk.
