How to Set Up EA correct:
+ First, you will need to set up News Filter before attaching EA on a chart. More details at here
+ Second, you will need to load this set file below. Please choose what set file suits your trading style
Set file: To meet the individual needs of everyone. I will temporarily divide the set of files of Advanced Gold Trading into 2 trading style
– Default Set Files (Recommend)
+ Time Frame: M15
+ Minimum Deposit: $1000/0.01 lot
+ Recommend Deposit: $2000/0.01 lot for Autolot
Default Set Files are set files in default setting that suits with all brokers with any GOLD digits. EA will always enter new orders continuously after closing the old orders. This Set File will have a higher profit, but the risk will also be higher. So you need to comply with capital requirements. Aggressive is also more suitable for trading Fund Managers like FTMO, MFF,…
(*) If you trade with fund competitions. Note that the formula for using the right lot size is: Capital = 1/2 Max Daily Drawdown.
For example: If you join the $100k fund, and have a Max Daily Drawdown of $5k. With the formula, we can use Set File Very High Risk ($5k capital recommend in normal account) with 0.02 Lot Size.
– Classic Set Files (Not recommend at now)
Classic Set Files are set files from the old version. It will open less trades but will limit keeping trades too long
+ Time Frame: H1
+ Minimum Deposit: $2000/0.01 lot.
+ Recommend Deposit: $3000/0.01 lot for Autolot

4. Panel:
Below the information display panel there are 2 function buttons:
– New Orders: The EA will stop opening new orders after closing old orders (users manually close orders or wait for EAs to process and close orders)
– Close Orders: EA closes all existing orders that EA is managing immediately. The EA will then stop opening new orders until the user presses this button again
– Guard Mode: Activate/Deactivate recovery function (after all loss orders hit Hard Stop Loss or depend on your setting (F7) in Recovery Parameters section, EA will open new recovery order to recovery profit)
4. Parameters
From the 4.0 version, EA has some IMPORTANT updates:
– New candle trade – Trade in new candles, One of my promises to a friend who is part of our EA Advanced group. The EA will only open an order at a new candle when it is re-attached to the chart or there is an adjustment or change in the setting. This avoids the risk of entering multiple orders on the same candle.
– New Weekend Filter – EA will stop trading before closing time on Friday, and restart at a suitable time on Monday. This is to avoid holding risky orders over the week.
– New Supply/Demand Filter – From this version, this filter works for the EA to avoid trading in strong trending sections. The EA will identify the sideway zone and focus on placing orders when the market is in this area. If this mode is turned off, the EA will trade like the old version.”
From the 5.0 version, EA has more updates:
– Add Recovery Mode – If DD reaches trigger threshold, old sequence order is closed. The EA will open a new order in the opposite direction of the old order sequence. Then recover the loss that the EA cut earlier
