It is basically the same as any other symbol. Show your code attempt.

So run it against gold and US30 in the Strategy Tester and see what happens. Take note of any errors or inconsistencies and see if you can understand what changes.

So add debugging "prints" to your code to see what is happening. You can't expect us to go through all your code and analyse and debug it for you.

What I can say from the quick look I did, is that your code is not even safe for forex trading — it does not check the symbol's tick size properly, and doesn't check the Stops Levels, or the allowable trading times, or the allowable volume, etc.

So, what I am saying, is that you first need to fix all those things even for Forex, which in turn will help you make it safe for other symbols too.
