NextTrade Gold EA features — every input, documented.

NextTrade Gold EA System is a rules-based MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor for XAUUSD (Gold) trading. It combines two independent signal engines (H1 swing detection and M15 classic candle patterns), six configurable filters (session, Monday gap, news, anti-junk dedup, AI bias, risk engine), and a full risk engine with risk-percent sizing, trailing stop, and break-even — controlled from a single .set preset file. No black box, no vague claims. Below is exactly what each piece does and why it exists.

Two signal engines

Independent, non-overlapping. You can run both, or disable either.

Engine 01

H1 Swing Auto-Trade

Identifies confirmed swing highs (for SELL) and swing lows (for BUY) on H1.

  • Swing lookback length — configurable
  • Stop-loss buffer placed past the swing point
  • Take-profit buffer tuned for positive R:R
  • Works only on closed bars (no repaint)
  • Compatible with all six filters
Engine 02

M15 Classic Candle Engine

Detects four named patterns with mathematical thresholds — not vibes.

  • Hammer: wick ratio, body percentage
  • Shooting Star: inverted hammer thresholds
  • Morning Star: 3-bar bullish sequence
  • Evening Star: 3-bar bearish sequence
  • All thresholds tunable in inputs

Six configurable filters

Each filter is a gate. Toggle independently. A signal has to pass every enabled filter before it fires an order.

🌐

Session Filter

Sydney (21-06 GMT), Tokyo (00-09), London (07-16), New York (13-22). Toggle independently. Only trade when Gold is actually your market.

📅

Monday Gap Protection

Skip the opening-gap window on Monday mornings. Avoid the weekend-risk mess that eats so many Gold accounts.

📰

News Filter

Pauses entries around high-impact releases. Configurable minutes before and after. High-impact-only toggle.

🛡

Anti-Junk Dedup

Two signals within the cooldown window? Only the first fires. Prevents stacking correlated trades on the same wick.

🤖

AI Bias Filter

Optional. Llama 3.3 (via Groq) scores the current context. Threshold configurable. Fail-open: API hiccups don't halt the EA.

Risk Engine

Risk % per trade, hard lot cap, max daily orders, max drawdown hard-stop, trailing SL + break-even. No surprises.

Alerts & observability

You always know what the EA is doing — on the chart, in the journal, and on your phone.

📊

On-Chart Dashboard

Live display of filter states, engine state, daily P/L, daily order count. Reads at a glance.

📱

Telegram Alerts

Fill, SL hit, TP hit, trailing move — all mirrored to your Telegram. Watch from your pocket.

📋

MT5 Journal

Plain-English log lines for every decision. Audit why any signal passed or was blocked.

Money management, baked in

Every knob that matters for survival is an input — and the defaults are conservative on purpose.

%

Risk-% sizing

Every lot calculated as a percentage of account equity. Default 3% — configurable down to 0.1%.

🔒

Hard lot cap

A ceiling above which the EA will never size. Prevents a balance spike from producing a surprise 10-lot order.

🛑

DD hard-stop

When account drawdown crosses your configured max, the EA stops opening new positions. Saves the week.

All of the above — for one price.

No modules, no add-ons, no paywalls. Every feature listed here is in every license tier.
