XAU AutoTrader is a fully automated expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades gold against the US dollar. It looks for support and resistance levels on several timeframes and places pending stop orders so that a position opens when price breaks through one of those levels.
The EA scans the daily, four-hour, hourly, 30-minute and 15-minute charts to find price levels where the market has previously stalled or turned. Once it has identified the levels, it places Buy Stop and Sell Stop pending orders beyond them. If price breaks out and triggers an order, the trade is opened without any manual action from you.
Stop loss and take profit are calculated as percentages rather than fixed point values, so the distances adjust to the volatility of the market at the time. Lot size is set automatically from the risk you choose.
The EA draws a dashboard on the chart that can be moved with drag and drop. It also contains a news history builder. The standard MT5 Strategy Tester cannot read the Economic Calendar, so news events are normally ignored in a backtest. With the builder you create the news history once on a live chart, choose a date range and the impact levels to include (high and medium), and the tester then loads it automatically. This lets you see how the EA behaves around events such as NFP, FOMC and CPI releases.
The product is made for XAUUSD only. The suggested chart is H1, while the analysis itself draws on D1, H4, H1, M30 and M15. A hedging account with a low spread on gold is recommended, and a reference minimum deposit of about 200 USD is mentioned. Verify this against your broker's contract size, leverage and margin rules, because they differ between brokers.
Exact input names and default values can differ, so open the inputs tab after attaching the EA and read each field before trading. The main areas to review are listed below.
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Risk and lot size | Risk percentage per trade and how it relates to your balance |
| Stop loss and take profit | Percentage distances and how they behave on your broker |
| Trailing stop | Activation, step and the broker's minimum stop distance |
| News filter | Impact levels and the pause window around events |
| Spread limit | Maximum spread allowed before entries are skipped |
| Weekend close | Time at which positions are closed before the market shuts |
Breakout trading on gold can produce sudden moves, slippage and wide spreads, especially around news. Results depend heavily on your broker, so test on a demo account for several weeks and compare it with a backtest that uses the news history before using real money.
Trading gold carries substantial risk, and you can lose some or all of your capital. Past results, including backtests, do not predict future ones. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.

The EA is built for gold, so attach it to XAUUSD. An H1 chart is the suggested starting point. The EA reads higher and lower timeframes internally, so you do not need to open a chart for each one. Check how your broker names the gold symbol, since suffixes differ.
It is an MT5 product and will not run on MT4. It is designed for hedging accounts. If your broker offers only netting accounts, test carefully on a demo first or ask the broker whether a hedging account is available.
Yes. The Strategy Tester in MT5 cannot read the Economic Calendar, so the EA includes a news history builder in its dashboard. You generate the history once on a live chart, and it is then loaded when you run the tester. Make sure you generate a date range that covers your test period.
A reference minimum of about 200 USD is suggested for the recommended setup, but the right amount depends on your broker, leverage, spread and the risk percentage you choose. Check the lot sizing results on a demo account before you use real funds.
No. Execution speed, spread, stop distance rules and price feed quality all affect the outcome on gold. Run it on a demo account with your own broker for a few weeks and compare it with a backtest before deciding to trade live.
Copy the expert advisor into the Experts folder of your MT5 data folder, restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator, then drag it onto an XAUUSD chart. Enable algorithmic trading in the terminal options and on the chart. The steps are described in the installation section above.
