Sailing Gold is a fully automated expert advisor for MetaTrader 4 that trades one instrument only: gold against the US dollar (XAUUSD). It looks for short-term entries using momentum and volatility measurements, then manages open positions with a trailing stop and a hard loss cap.
The entry logic combines a momentum reading with a model of recent market volatility to decide when a short scalping trade is worth opening. Positions are managed actively, so the EA normally closes a losing trade well before the emergency stop is reached.
A moving average filter can be switched on so that trades follow the prevailing direction instead of fighting it. By default it uses a fast exponential moving average on the M1 chart, with a second set of MA bands on a very short period. Turning the filter on usually reduces the number of trades, and turning it off gives the EA more freedom.
Use it on XAUUSD only. The EA can be attached to any chart timeframe, because its internal logic uses its own settings rather than the chart period. The trend filter timeframe is a separate input. An ECN or raw spread account with a low spread on gold is the usual recommendation, together with a low latency VPS.
The defaults below are intended for brokers that quote gold with two decimals. Confirm the exact input names and ranges in the EA's input tab after loading it.
| Input | Typical default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Max Spread | 30 to 50 | Blocks trades when spread is too wide; keep it above your average spread |
| Fixed Lot | 0.0 | Zero enables auto lot; above zero sets a manual size |
| Auto Lot | 1.0 to 3.0 | Scales size by balance; 1.0 means 0.01 lots per 1,000 of balance |
| Take Profit | 1500 points | Target distance |
| Max Stop Loss | 5000 points | Emergency loss limit |
| Trailing / Step / Start | 10 / 1 / 50 points | Trailing stop behaviour |
| Max Trades | 20 | Limit on simultaneous positions |
| MA filter | On, EMA 10, M1 | Trend confirmation |
| Time Start / End | 01:30 / 22:30 | Trading window in broker time |
| Magic Number | Your own value | Identifies the EA's orders |
On a broker with three-digit gold pricing, multiply the spread, take profit and trailing values by ten. A fixed lot overrides auto lot as long as it is a valid size for your broker.
Trading leveraged products such as gold carries a high level of risk. Past or tested results do not predict future ones, and no setting removes the possibility of loss. Test on a demo account, check the spread and execution of your broker, and use position sizes you can afford.
A balance of roughly 300 USD is suggested as a minimum, but the right amount depends on your lot size, leverage and broker conditions.

No. This listing is the MetaTrader 4 build and it is meant for MT4 terminals. An MT5 terminal cannot run it, so check that your broker offers MT4 before buying.
It is designed only for gold, normally quoted as XAUUSD. Your broker may add a suffix to the symbol name, which is fine as long as the instrument is spot gold. Do not attach it to forex pairs or other markets.
Yes. The defaults are tuned for two-digit gold pricing. With three-digit pricing a point is ten times smaller, so the spread limit, take profit and trailing values need to be multiplied by ten. Test on a demo account first.
A scalping system is sensitive to spread and execution speed. An ECN or raw spread account and a low latency VPS are the usual choices. Compare your broker's average gold spread with the Max Spread input before going live.
Copy the expert file into the MQL4 Experts folder through File, Open Data Folder in MT4, restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator, then drag the EA onto an XAUUSD chart with automated trading enabled.
No. Trading carries risk, and past or tested results do not predict future ones. Run it on a demo account first and only risk money you can afford to lose.
