Key Features

• Specialized for Gold (XAUUSD): Fully optimized for the unique behavior of the gold market.

• Advanced Trend Filter: Uses the long-term moving average (EMA 200) to identify the primary market trend, ensuring the EA trades only in the direction of institutional momentum.

• Dynamic Entry Signal: A shorter-term moving average (EMA 21) provides precise entry points within the established trend.

• Multi-Level Trailing Stop: A smart two-stage trailing stop system designed to protect profits. It first moves to a safety level and then aggressively locks in additional gains as the trade progresses.

• Solid Risk Management: Automatically calculates lot size based on a fixed percentage of your account balance (MaximumRisk), ensuring risk is always controlled.

• Fully Customizable: All parameters are accessible, allowing advanced users to optimize the strategy for different market conditions or timeframes.

How the Strategy Works

CratonGold’s logic is simple, robust, and tested:

1. Trend Identification: The EA checks the 200-period EMA to determine market bias. If the price is above the EMA, it looks for buy opportunities. If it is below, it looks for sell opportunities.

2. Entry Signal: Once the trend is confirmed, the EA waits for a specific candlestick pattern to cross the 21-period EMA, signaling a high-probability entry point.

3. Trade Management: Every trade is protected with a predefined Stop Loss and Take Profit. As the trade becomes profitable, the intelligent trailing stop activates to secure your gains.
