Global Trade Plan EA MT5

A MetaTrader 5 expert advisor configured for XAUUSD on the H1 timeframe, combining fixed and risk-based position sizing with a 300-point stop loss, a 6440-point take profit, and enabled trailing stops. It restricts trading to a 05:00–19:00 window Monday to Friday, with an earlier Friday close, and includes equity, drawdown, and floating-loss account controls. Supplied set files let traders choose between fixed-lot and XBalance sizing.

Losses on this strategy are capped

Every trade carries a hard stop and position size does not increase after a loss, so the worst case of one losing sequence is known in advance. That says nothing about whether this product is profitable, only that it can survive a bad month. We backtest products in this group.

How concentrated the profit is

80% of the profit came from 16 of 87 trading days (18.4%).

Description

Trading XAUUSD on the H1 timeframe

This expert advisor runs on MetaTrader 5 and is configured for gold (XAUUSD) using the H1 timeframe. The strategy relies on a single built-in trading logic, identified by the vendor as ST1 (TF-H1), which executes both buy and sell orders. Trades are only taken during the defined session: Monday through Friday from 05:00 to 19:00, with an earlier stop on Friday. Outside these hours the EA stays flat, even if the chart is running.

Order placement and exit logic

The supplied configuration uses a 300-point stop loss and a 6440-point take profit on every position. The stop loss provides a fixed point of exit if price moves against the trade, while the take profit target is considerably larger, indicating the system expects to hold trades through extended moves. A trailing stop is active, so once a position is in profit the EA can adjust the stop level as price develops. The break-even function is switched off in the delivered set files, so no automatic move to entry price is applied right after opening a trade.

Spread and slippage filters are also part of the position management layer. The EA can be configured to avoid opening new trades when the spread is above a chosen threshold, and to reject or re-quote entries when expected slippage exceeds a set limit. These are not guarantees of execution quality, but they let a trader impose their own tolerance for less liquid market moments.

Money management and account controls

Two different sizing methods are offered. The fixed-lot mode lets the user specify exactly what volume every trade should use, independent of account balance. The XBalance method scales position size according to current balance, potentially with a risk percentage and a maximum margin limit. A trader can choose which approach to activate by selecting the relevant set file.

Beyond per-trade protection, the EA includes account-level stop mechanisms. Daily profit or loss targets can halt trading once reached, as can maximum drawdown, minimum equity, or a permitted floating loss. These controls are meant to stop the EA from continuing to open new positions after the account has already moved beyond what the trader is willing to accept in a single day or overall.

What the bundled set files provide

The package ships with preset configuration files, often called .set files, that load the vendor's recommended settings into the EA. At least two sizing presets are implied: one based on a fixed lot size and one using the XBalance risk method. Other parameters, such as the 300-point stop and the trading window, are already defined within these files. A trader who installs the EA and loads the appropriate set file does not need to configure every input from scratch. Users who prefer to build their own setup can still change any value after the preset is loaded.

What this tool does not do

There is no multi-currency scanning here. The configuration is specific to XAUUSD on the H1 timeframe. Running the EA on other symbols or timeframes means the user is relying on a strategy that was not designed for those conditions, and results will differ from the supplied reports. The EA does not include martingale or grid recovery, based on the published feature list; positions are placed individually with their own stop and take-profit levels.

This is also not a set-and-forget product for an account with an especially low balance. The fixed-lot preset may require a balance large enough to absorb a 300-point stop on gold without hitting a margin call, depending on the chosen volume. Traders who intend to use high leverage or very small accounts should review the fixed lot size and the maximum-margin settings before running the EA live.

The developer states that the results shared publicly are from backtests and a Myfxbook-style account with deposits and withdrawals, not a forward test reviewed by an independent auditor. The figures shown in marketing material therefore reflect past conditions and the specific server, spread, and execution environment used at the time. No performance outcome is promised.

Frequently asked questions

Which symbol and timeframe does this EA trade?

The supplied configuration is built for XAUUSD on the H1 timeframe. It is not designed for other symbols or timeframes.

Does the package include the source code?

No. The delivered files run as a compiled expert advisor in MetaTrader 5. The MQL5 source code is not included.

Can I trade both long and short positions?

Yes. The direction setting is set to allow both buy and sell trades, so the EA can act in either market direction according to its own conditions.

What is the difference between the two sizing presets?

One preset uses a fixed lot size that never changes with the account balance. The other uses the XBalance method, which scales lot size based on the current balance and can incorporate a risk percentage.

Does the EA trade around the clock?

No. It operates only during the configured session: 05:00 to 19:00, Monday to Friday, with an earlier cut-off on Fridays. Outside this window no new trades are opened.
