MoonDog is a breakout expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades gold (XAUUSD). Instead of relying on one entry rule, it combines several breakout strategies that all run from a single chart, and it adds position protection, news handling and optional ONNX filtering on top.
The EA ships with five core strategies, which are enabled by default, and four optional extra strategies that you can switch on. Each position is opened with its own initial Stop Loss and Take Profit. The EA does not use martingale, recovery grids, loss averaging or larger trades after a loss.
Four ready-made setups are supplied as SET files:
Running all nine strategies can raise trade frequency and the number of positions open at the same time. That is a change in activity, not a promise of better results.
There are three modes: a conservative mode that filters entries and rechecks pending orders (the default), a more active mode that keeps the entry filter but skips the pending-order recheck, and a mode with no ONNX filtering. The models run locally inside the terminal and need no external service.
Classic MoonLock follows the best floating profit of a trade and aims to protect about half of that peak once it has activated. The adaptive version uses activation points and percentages chosen for each strategy; it does not retrain itself while trading. When it triggers, it closes the whole position at market, so the fill price can differ from the protected level. If you prefer, you can turn it off and use break-even and trailing settings instead.
The EA is built for XAUUSD only. Check how your broker names the gold symbol and confirm the chart timeframe recommended in the user guide before you attach it.
| Setting | What to know |
|---|---|
| Setup (SET file) | Set 1 is the default; load another file to change strategies or MoonLock style. |
| Lot sizing | Fixed lot, percentage risk or ONNX score-based sizing. The supplied files use a fixed 0.01 lot. |
| Stop Loss | Default is 20 gold pips and can be adjusted. |
| Take Profit | Defaults are 140 gold pips for one strategy and 150 for the others; adjustable. |
| ONNX mode | Conservative, more trades, or off. |
| News and weekend | NFP, CPI and FOMC protection and Weekend Shield are on by default; a spread guard and general news filter are optional. |
| Magic Number | Check it so it does not clash with other EAs on the account. |
Defaults can change between releases, so review every input after installing or updating. During a news window the EA pauses new entries and asks to remove its own pending orders; it does not close open positions on its own.
Risk applies per trade, and when several strategies hold positions together the combined exposure can be higher than the figure you chose for one trade. Spread, commission, slippage and latency all affect real results, and a broker may not cancel a pending order before it fills. Losing trades, drawdown and quiet periods are normal for any automated system, so judge it over a long period rather than a handful of trades.
Trading carries risk, and past results, including any published signal or backtest, do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account first and only trade money you can afford to lose.

No. This is an MT5 expert advisor and it is built for XAUUSD. It will not load in MT4, so make sure your broker account and terminal are MetaTrader 5.
It is designed for gold, XAUUSD. Brokers name the symbol differently, for example with a suffix, so confirm the exact symbol in your Market Watch and check the user guide before attaching it to a chart.
No. The ONNX models run locally inside MetaTrader 5, so no external subscription or API key is needed. ONNX filtering is a filter on entries, not a forecast, and it does not remove the risk of losing trades.
The default setup uses the original five strategies with classic MoonLock. The other setups add the four extra strategies, adaptive MoonLock settings, or both. Test any setup on a demo account first and read the user guide before going live.
Without a SET file, automatic sizing can behave differently in the tester and on a live or demo chart. The supplied SET files use a fixed 0.01 lot, which keeps the lot setting the same in both. Always check your lot size, Stop Loss, Magic Number and news settings after loading a file or installing a new release.
No. Each position has its own initial Stop Loss and Take Profit, and the EA does not average losses or enlarge trades after a loss. Several strategies can still hold positions together, so total exposure can exceed the risk set for a single trade.
