01 · Published on the MQL5 Market

Two Expert Advisors. One instrument, studied closely.

Both are built for XAUUSD (gold) on the 15-minute chart. Each sends every trade with a stop loss and a take profit, and each can be adjusted right on the chart.

Tidewell XAU Trend

XAUUSD · M15 · Trend following · v1.305

A trend-following Expert Advisor for gold. It stays selective, and you can adjust risk, direction, limits and trading sessions from a compact panel on the chart.

Embercrest XAU Breakout

XAUUSD · M15 · Breakout · v1.906

A breakout Expert Advisor for gold. It waits patiently for clear moves, so there can be days between trades, and it shares the same on-chart controls.

02 · On the chart

Control that lives where you trade.

A small panel in the corner of the chart shows each Expert Advisor’s status and open trades, and opens into tabs when you need more.

  1. Defined exits

    Every trade is sent with a stop loss and a take profit from the moment it opens.

  2. Risk you choose

    Pick Conservative, Balanced, Aggressive or Custom, and change it on the chart without opening the settings window.

  3. A drawdown limit

    If the account falls by the limit you set, the Expert Advisor closes its own trades and pauses.

  4. Direction, spread and sessions

    Trade both ways or one way only, skip wide spreads, and limit trading to the London and New York sessions if you prefer.

  5. Close all, asked twice

    Close all closes only that Expert Advisor’s own trades, and asks for a second click to confirm.

  6. Documented properly

    Each comes with a user manual and recommended settings on its MQL5 product page.

03 · Forward test

Forward test on a demo account

Backtests only show the past. Each Expert Advisor is also being run forward on a demo account, and the reports will appear here as they mature.

Demo-account results can differ from funded accounts because of execution, spread, slippage and fees. Neither backtests nor demo forward tests indicate future results.

How I work

  • Restraint over activity

    Both Expert Advisors are designed to stay out when conditions aren’t clear, rather than trade for the sake of it.

  • Honest labels

    Backtests are called backtests and demo tests are called demo tests. Neither is presented as anything more.

  • Plain documentation

    Every control is explained in a sentence, and each product page carries a user manual and recommended settings.
