Introduction

Ever been glued to your screen, waiting for gold to pop… only to miss the move by a pip? Frustrating, right? Manual trading gold on MT5 can feel like chasing shadows—too fast, too noisy, and too costly when you get it wrong. That’s exactly why we built Gold Agent EA V1.01 MT5, a free, fully automated gold scalping and swing trading bot from YoForex. It combines trend detection with volatility filters, ATR-based stops and adaptive position sizing to nail entries and exits on XAUUSD, so you don’t have to babysit charts 24/5. You’ll get clear, data-driven trades, minimal drawdown, and the freedom to step away—coz trading gold should be profitable and chill, not a grind.

Overview

Gold Agent EA V1.01 MT5 is a rules-based expert advisor designed specifically for XAUUSD on MetaTrader 5. Unlike generic robots that treat every pair the same, this gold EA MT5 focuses on gold’s unique volatility and session patterns. Under the hood, it uses:

  • Dual Trend Filters: two moving averages on H1 and H4 to confirm the broader direction
  • ATR Channel Breakouts: adaptive channels based on Average True Range to catch momentum bursts
  • Volatility Squeeze Detection: it spots low-volatility “squeezes” and readies for explosive moves

When both filters align, the Gold Agent EA V1.01 MT5 places a trade with ATR-calculated stop loss and take profit. As profits grow, a smart trailing stop kicks in to lock gains and ride trends longer. You can tweak risk per trade, max spread, session filters (London/New York), and even pause trading around major news—so you won’t get whipsawed. Best part? It’s coded in lean MQL5 for minimal CPU impact—run it on multiple charts without slowing down your PC.
