Overview:
GOLD ONE TRADE IN A DAY EA V1.0 MT4 is a purpose-built expert advisor designed exclusively for gold (XAUUSD) on the H1 timeframe. Unlike multi-strategy bots that juggle dozens of indicators and trade entries, this EA zeroes in on a single, high-probability setup every 24 hours. The core logic combines trend-strength analysis with volatility breakouts: it uses a custom moving average filter to confirm the dominant trend, an RSI momentum check to avoid overbought/oversold extremes, and a breakout threshold on average true range (ATR) to capture optimal entry points.

Key to its simplicity is a strict trade timer—once the EA opens its one trade, it sets predefined stop loss and take profit levels based on average daily range (ADR). If price moves against you, the stop loss protects capital; if price moves favorably, the take profit secures gains. There’s no averaging down, no grid doubling, and no hidden recovery systems. What you see is what you get: one trade, clear risk parameters, and straightforward money management that aligns with your account size.

Key Features:

  • One Trade Per Day Logic: Limits to a single entry in each 24-hour cycle, reducing overtrading and emotional stress.
  • Optimized for XAUUSD H1: Fine-tuned parameters for gold’s volatility and price behavior on a one-hour chart.
  • Trend Confirmation Filter: Custom moving average crossover to ensure trades align with market direction.
  • Momentum Check: RSI-based filter prevents entries during extreme conditions, boosting win rate.
  • Volatility Breakout Trigger: ATR threshold ensures entries occur when price shows genuine momentum.
  • Fixed Risk/Reward: Default 1:1.5 risk-reward ratio, adjustable to suit your trading plan.
  • Economic News Filter: Pauses trading around major FX and gold-related news to avoid spikes.
  • Custom Lot Sizing: Static lots or dynamic risk percent settings based on account balance.
  • No Martingale or Grid: Pure single-entry strategy—no restart or averaging methods that inflate drawdown.
  • User-Friendly Inputs: Clearly labeled parameters, with tooltips for beginners.
  • Real-Time Dashboard: On-chart display of daily trades, P/L, and cumulative stats.
  • Low Resource Usage: Optimized code for minimal CPU and memory footprint on MT4.

 

 

Backtest Results & Proof:
Between January 2018 and December 2023, GOLD ONE TRADE IN A DAY EA underwent extensive backtesting on XAUUSD H1 using tick data from a top ECN broker. Over 1,500 completed trades, the EA achieved:

  • Total Net Profit: $12,450 on a $5,000 demo account
  • Profit Factor: 1.75
  • Max Drawdown: 6.2%
  • Average Monthly Return: 4.2%
  • Win Rate: 68%

These figures highlight the EA’s balanced performance: steady gains, controlled drawdowns, and a hit-and-run approach that respects gold’s natural swings. The equity curve showed a smooth upward trend, with only minor pullbacks during extreme market events like central bank meetings. For transparency, the backtest screenshot (Image #1) demonstrates how consistent entry rules translate into real growth, even in choppy markets.

In live-market trials conducted by YoForex on a funded account, the EA mirrored backtest performance. From January 2024 to June 2025, trades executed under real spreads and slippage produced net gains of 8.5% in the first six months, with a max drawdown of 5.1%. These live results underscore the strategy’s robustness across different volatility regimes and broker conditions.
