Swing Forge Gold v1.13

Description

If you’ve traded Gold (XAUUSD), you already know the problem: most automated EAs rely on dangerous grids, martingale, or cost-averaging that look great until one big trend wipes out the account.

SwingForge Gold was built on the opposite philosophy: strict risk management and pure price action.

It trades confirmed swing breakouts using pending stop orders. Every single trade is protected with a hard Stop Loss from the moment it opens, backed by dynamic break-even, trailing stops, and a built-in fakeout filter.

Core Trading Philosophy: The 7 Forge Zones

Rather than relying on a single entry model, SwingForge Gold divides market structure into 8 independent, specialized trading zones. Each zone operates with its own custom swing-depth parameters, session schedules, and volatility offsets:

1. • Crest, Anvil, Ridge, Spark, Forge, Crown, Flint, and Ember — each zone monitors swing highs and lows during specific market sessions.
   • When key technical levels form, the EA places pending Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders.
   • When momentum breaks out, the trade is triggered and actively managed.
   • If a breakout fails quickly, the Fakeout Filter cuts the trade early to protect your capital.

Why This EA is Built for Capital Safety

• No Grid / No Martingale: Never adds to losing trades. Minimize risk per Zone.
• Hard Stop Loss on Every Trade: Your downside is always defined before entering the market.
• Fakeout Protection: Detects stalled breakouts and closes them before hitting the full Stop Loss.
• Spread-Aware Protection: Break-even and trailing levels adjust to your broker’s own average spread automatically.
• Prop Firm (Zones aren’t optimized for propfirms): Includes a minimum trade hold duration setting (e.g., 2+ minutes) to comply with prop firm challenge rules.
• Equity & Drawdown Guards: Set your own max daily loss % and total drawdown limits. If hit, the EA closes all the trades and protects the balance.
• Built-in News Filter: Pauses trading and clears pending orders during high-impact USD economic events if selected (Off / Low / Medium / High).
• Auto Broker Detection: Automatically adjusts whether your broker quotes Gold in 2 digits (e.g., Vantage, TMGM) or 3 digits (e.g., Exness).
• Live On-Chart Dashboard: Clean, easy-to-read panel showing your daily P&L, win rate, open trades, spread, and zone status.

Risk Management Presets

• Low Risk (Recommended): Conservative shared daily trades, tighter stops, and capital preservation settings. Ideal for personal live accounts and prop firm challenges.
• Balanced: Activates individual zone tunings for higher trading frequency and maximum profit capture across active market regimes.
• Custom: Complete control over lot sizing, risk percentage per trade, trailing points etc.
