Pipsgrowth.com EX16034 EX_X2_XAUUSD_v1_1 — dual-entry dual-confirm XAU scalper, full 12-layer stack.

Overview

Pipsgrowth EX16034 Trend is a four-signal consensus scalper for XAUUSD on the M1 timeframe. The entire strategy is a vote: two entry indicators and two confirmation indicators must all light up inside a sliding six-bar window before any order is sent. The vote is binary (long or short), and the side with the freshest signals wins. The four indicator slots are user-configurable — defaults are a 9/50 EMA cross for entry-one, an RSI(14) 55/45 threshold cross for entry-two, a 12/26/9 MACD main/signal cross for confirmation-one, and a 14/3/3 Stochastic %K/%D cross for confirmation-two — but each of the four slots can be swapped independently to any of five engine types (MA cross, RSI threshold, MACD cross, Stochastic cross, CCI threshold), which lets the operator turn the EA into a completely different consensus tool without editing code.

The core of the EA lives in CombinedWindowCheck(). For each side (buy, sell), it walks the last six closed bars and asks each of the four signal slots whether it fired on bar shift=1 through shift=6. There is a non-strict mode (the four signals may fire on different bars inside the window) and a strict-same-bar mode (InpRequireEntriesSameBar and InpRequireConfirmsSameBar — if either is true, the two entries must fire on the same bar inside the window, and the two confirms must also fire on the same bar). When both entry and both confirm votes come back positive, the function picks the bar shift closest to the current bar among all four firing shifts, and that is the "freshness" stamp. If both a buy and a sell consensus are valid at the same time, the side with the smaller shift wins, and the other is discarded.

The signature feature of EX16034 is the Dynamic Lock Profit ratchet implemented in ApplyDynamicLockProfitToPosition(). After every position is opened, the EA walks PositionsTotal() on every tick through MaintainPositions() and computes movedPts = (bid - entryPrice) / _Point for longs (mirror for shorts). Once the position has moved 150 points in profit, the function calculates steps = floor(movedPts / 150), then sets the new stop to entryPrice + (steps * 150 - 20) * _Point. The result is a staircase ratchet that only tightens — never widens — and steps up by 130 points of locked profit (150 minus the 20-point buffer) every 150 points of additional favorable movement. The ratchet respects the broker's SYMBOL_TRADE_FREEZE_LEVEL and skips updates that would push the stop too close to bid/ask, so it never trips a freeze-rejection on a gold symbol with a wide freeze.

Before any entry is taken, CanPlaceNewEntries() runs seven gates in sequence: pause-window check (set by OnTradeTransaction when the loss streak or daily PnL triggers), one-entry-per-bar (g_lastEntryBarTime must differ from the current bar time), session window (default London 07:00–17:00 and New York 13:00–22:00 server time, gated through IsWithinSessions()), spread cap (a dynamic median computed over the last 200 ticks times a 3x multiplier, plus an optional absolute cap), max-open count (5), volatility filter (a 14-period ATR floor of 80 points, off by default), bar quality (the previous bar's body-to-range ratio must exceed 0.20 if enabled), and daily guards (loss/profit/trade-count targets, off by default). Any one of these failing suppresses the entry.

The EA also layers a higher-timeframe trend filter on top of the consensus. If InpUseMTFTrendFilter is true, TrendFilterOK() reads a 200-period EMA on a user-selected higher timeframe (default M30) and only allows buy consensus if price is at or above the EMA, only allows sell consensus if price is at or below it. This single line is the difference between running EX16034 as a pure scalper and running it as a trend-aligned scalper. A second optional pause-guard layer, implemented inside OnTradeTransaction(), watches every closed deal through the deal-history: a DEAL_TRANSACTION_DEAL_ADD whose DEAL_ENTRY is DEAL_ENTRY_OUT updates g_lossStreakCount and g_lossStreakAmt. If PauseOnConsecutiveLosses is true and the streak reaches 3, trading is paused for 60 minutes; if PauseOnLossAmount is true and the cumulative loss reaches 100 account currency, trading is paused for 60 minutes. Any win or breakeven reset clears both counters.

Position management is split into initial and addition. The first order in a direction is tagged Initial BUY or Initial SELL in the comment; subsequent orders are tagged Add#1 BUY, Add#2 BUY, etc. By default, additions are blocked unless AllowOnlyProfitableAdditions is true AND every existing same-direction position is currently at least MinProfitPerTradeToAdd (5 points) in the green. The cap is MaxOpenTrades total positions across both directions, and the per-direction cooldown (InpCooldownSecondsDir = 20 by default) blocks a second entry in the same direction for 20 seconds after the previous one. These two constraints together mean a single news spike cannot open five positions back-to-back.

Risk and stop placement default to fixed 300-point stop and 600-point take-profit (1:2 risk-reward, sized to XAUUSD's M1 volatility envelope). If InpUseATRforSLTP is switched on, CalcSLTP() overrides the fixed points with atrPts * 3.0 for the stop and atrPts * 6.0 for the target, computed from a 14-period ATR on the signals timeframe — which keeps the SL/TP breathing with the volatility regime. Lot size is fixed at 0.10 with no money-management modules. The 3-attempt retry helpers TryClose_EX16034, TryClosePartial_EX16034, and TryModify_EX16034 are defined for the standard CTrade wrapper but the runtime uses direct request objects through SendOrder(), ModifyPositionSLTP(), and ClosePositionByTicket() — the retry helpers are dead code in the current build.

What to expect in a backtest: a one-minute XAUUSD chart during the London/New York overlap should produce a steady stream of small wins cut short by the 600-point TP and a smaller but consistent stream of 300-point stops. The ratchet rarely fires intrabar on M1 XAUUSD because gold's 30-pip M1 average true range cannot generate 150 points of profit on a single bar — it tends to step in over a few hours during a trending session. The MTF trend filter, when enabled, is the single biggest change to equity-curve character: it converts the EA from a coin-flip on choppy London opens to a directional follower that skips counter-trend signals on H1 or M30.

EX16034 is not a martingale or grid EA. There is no recovery multiplier, no basket averaging, no lot escalation after a loss. The five-trade cap is a hard cap. If you want a 20-position gold grid, this is not the EA; if you want a four-signal vote with a step-ratcheted stop, this is it.

Strategy Deep Dive

EX16034 is a four-vote consensus scalper — CombinedWindowCheck() walks the last six closed bars and only fires when a 9/50 EMA cross, an RSI(14) 55/45 cross, a 12/26/9 MACD main/signal cross, and a 14/3/3 Stochastic %K/%D cross all show the same direction inside the window. Each of the four slots is pluggable to any of five engine types (MA cross, RSI threshold, MACD cross, Stochastic cross, CCI threshold) through the InpEntry1Type / InpEntry2Type / InpConfirm1Type / InpConfirm2Type enums, and the strict-same-bar toggles InpRequireEntriesSameBar and InpRequireConfirmsSameBar can force the two entries (or the two confirms) to fire on the same bar inside the window. The Dynamic Lock Profit ratchet in ApplyDynamicLockProfitToPosition() is the signature: every 150 points of favorable movement, the stop steps to entry + steps*150 - 20 points, never widening, never crossing the broker's SYMBOL_TRADE_FREEZE_LEVEL. OnTradeTransaction() tracks DEAL_ENTRY_OUT deals to maintain g_lossStreakCount and g_lossStreakAmt, and pauses trading for 60 minutes when the streak hits the configured threshold or the cumulative loss hits the configured amount. CanPlaceNewEntries() chains seven gates — pause window, one-entry-per-bar, session, dynamic spread median, max-open count, ATR volatility floor, bar quality — and any one failure suppresses the entry. SendOrder() itself runs a 3-attempt retry on INVALID_STOPS and REQUOTE, dropping SL/TP on retry if the broker rejects the stops. Initial trades are tagged Initial BUY/SELL; additions become Add#1 BUY, Add#2 BUY, etc., capped at MaxOpenTrades total and gated by AllowOnlyProfitableAdditions.

Entry Signal

Four-signal consensus inside a six-bar window: a 9/50 EMA cross and an RSI(14) 55/45 threshold cross for the two entry votes, plus a 12/26/9 MACD main/signal cross and a 14/3/3 Stochastic %K/%D cross for the two confirmation votes. All four must fire on bars shift 1 through 6 (or the same bar in strict mode), and the side with the freshest signals wins. A higher-timeframe 200-EMA filter can optionally block counter-trend entries.

Exit Signal

Exit on the fixed 600-point take-profit (or 6× ATR if InpUseATRforSLTP is enabled), the fixed 300-point stop, or the Dynamic Lock Profit ratchet stepping the stop every 150 points of additional profit. There is no signal-based exit — once a position is open, it is closed by the SL/TP/ratchet combination only.

Stop Loss

Fixed 300-point stop (or 3× ATR when InpUseATRforSLTP=true). The Dynamic Lock Profit ratchet then steps the stop every 150 points of favorable movement, holding the stop 20 points back from the running high/low, so once a position moves 300+ points the actual live stop is almost always inside the entry price.

Take Profit

Fixed 600-point take-profit (or 6× ATR when ATR mode is on) — a 1:2 risk-to-reward against the 300-point stop. Additions are allowed up to MaxOpenTrades (5 default) but only when the existing same-direction position is already at least 5 points in the green.

Best For

XAUUSD on M1 with $100 minimum (recommend $500+ for the 5-position addition path). Run during the London 07:00–17:00 and New York 13:00–22:00 server-time windows — outside these hours IsWithinSessions() blocks entries by default. The dynamic spread cap means an ECN or RAW-spread broker is required (IC Markets or Exness are typical fits); a 3-pip fixed-spread account will keep tripping the median cap and the EA will sit idle. MEDIUM risk profile assumes the 0.10 fixed lot and 1:2 fixed TP/SL defaults — switch to ATR-based SL/TP (3×/6×) for high-volatility gold sessions, and enable the M30 200-EMA trend filter when running through a non-trending day.
