New EA GoldFader_NewEA returns: modified so that silence is canceled

[NPNavigator]

Hello, colleagues!

I have news for you: Goldfader for MT4 got an older brother and moved to MetaTrader 5. Yes, yes, the one with SuperTrend + ADX, Keltner +RSI modes, virtual stops and a tricky grid of delays, only now in a terminal that does not ask for a reboot after each code edit.

Advantages of MT5 (for those who still have doubts):

• Strategy Tester — you run the adviser on all pairs at the same time, not one at a time, as in the old school. You can dig up a gold mine in an evening, not just one chart.

• The MQL5 code is cleaner, faster, events, timers, and you won't get confused in the "tickets" that change after each closure.

• Trading and testing on real ticks — without approximations of "all bars at opening prices". Gold likes precision, not "plus or minus bast shoes."

• And yes, MT4 is not getting any younger — it's time to move to a bright future where stop losses and takeaways can be moved without dancing with a tambourine.

You will also find detailed instructions (it is large, but I tried to chew through each item). There is a description of all the modes, the logic of trailing, how the "acceleration" of the removal of expired orders works. The Expert Advisor is tailored to XAUUSD, uses deposits, is friendly with sessions and is afraid of a large drawdown — in general, everything is as you like. If you have any questions or suggestions for improvement, welcome to the comments.

Download, test, and let the spread be narrow and the trend endless!

Hello, colleague!

Thank you for testing and taking the time to write — this is already half the battle.
Straight to the point: there is no ready-made settings file. Not because I'm greedy, but because the advisor is like a suit.: He sits like a rock on one broker, and hangs like a sack on the other. Everyone has their own spreads, stop levels, server time, and commissions - so a "universal set" is more likely to hurt here. The fact that he drains on default is the norm, which means that the broker/symbol is "not in resonance" with standard numbers.
What to do step by step:
1. Timeframe — ideally M15 or M30 (Advisor's chart = his working TF). Part of the logic (the impulse to kill expired orders) is hardwired on M15, so if you roll on H1, it will still work, but removing "rotten" deposits will go along M15 — this is normal. I recommend the M15.
2. Optimization is our everything. This is done quickly in the MT5 tester.:
Select a period (several months, with different market phases).
Start optimization based on key parameters: Step, StopLoss, TakeProfit, ADXThreshold, SuperTrendMultiplier, possibly EntryMode (signal mode).
Be sure to consider your Max_Spread — look at the broker's real spread and put it a little higher (for example, if you see 30 points, put 35).
Optimization criteria — for example, Recovery Factor or Profit Factor, do not chase net profit.
As a result, you will get settings tailored specifically for your broker and his kitchen.
3. A cent—based Expert Advisor account will work, but there is a caveat. The auto-lot formula (UseRiskLot) can produce a tiny amount like 0.001 lots, and the minimum lot in cents is often 0.01 (or 0.1, depending on how the broker thinks). It's better to disable the auto-lot for now and trade a fixed one, for example, Lots = 0.01. If the deposit is small, this is exactly what the doctor ordered.
4. The XAUUSD symbol — make sure that your broker's name is strictly XAUUSD, without dots or suffixes like XAUUSD. or XAUUSDc. The code has a strict _Symbol check != "XAUUSD", if the name does not match, the ADVISER will not trade. If you really want to focus on just such a character. But it's easier to find a broker with a normal name.
5. Default = not the Holy Grail. The out—of-the-box settings are like the average temperature in a hospital: some are warm, some are cool. I deliberately gave conservative figures so that the adviser would not immediately fly into space. And you have already tuned it for your "engine". In the MT5 tester, it's a couple of evenings, but then you can sleep in peace.

Loss Loss Loss

Wow, "Loss Loss Loss" sounds like a verdict without the right to appeal. Where are the details? I'm a simple person: show me the settings, the timeframe, and the broker. I'm happy to admit that I messed up somewhere if they show me exactly where. But "Loss Loss Loss" is not an argument, it's the name of a bad thriller.
As I said before, I don't hold onto this advisor like I hold onto a crystal vase. I have other projects, ideas, and advisors that don't always work perfectly either, but at least it's clear why. I didn't come here to prove to everyone that GoldFader is the Holy Grail, but I was interested in seeing who was on the forum: people who were willing to tweak settings, optimize, figure things out, and give feedback. Or those who download it, launch it on default, see a minus sign and write "Loss Loss Loss".
Judging by your answers, we have a second case here. Well, it happens. Good luck in finding the Expert Advisor who spits right out of the box, without a single finger movement.
