Savanna Gold Trend — XAUUSD Trend Continuation EA for MetaTrader 5

Savanna waits for gold to break out of its recent range in the direction of the higher timeframe trend, then adds to the position as the move extends — up to four positions per move.

The distinction that matters: Savanna pyramids into winners. It never averages down. Each added position gets its own stop loss from its own real fill price, so the additions cannot turn a good trade into an account-sized problem.

No martingale. No grid.

How it trades

  • Symbol: XAUUSD (gold)
  • Timeframe: any — it reads M5 and H1 internally
  • Trend: direction is taken from the higher timeframe; range breaks against that trend are ignored
  • Entry: breakout from the recent range, in the trend direction
  • Scaling: up to four positions per move, added as the move proves itself
  • Filter: ATR volatility filter keeps it out of dead conditions

Risk controls

  • Every position gets a stop loss as soon as it is filled, placed from its real fill price
  • Never averages down — additions only ever go on in the direction of profit
  • Maximum of three separate moves per day by default

  • Spread filter
  • Daily loss cutoff
