XAU Sniper Pro

XAU Sniper Pro — Triple-Strategy Liquidity Sweep EA for XAUUSD on MetaTrader 5

Most gold trading systems rely on lagging indicators and end up entering after the move has already happened. XAU Sniper Pro takes the opposite approach: it waits for price to sweep key liquidity levels — triggering stop orders and taking retail traders out — then enters the reversal as the move exhausts itself. This is the mechanism behind many institutional-style moves on gold, automated and systematized into three independent strategies running across three timeframes simultaneously.

Version 6.1 brings a fully redesigned multi-timeframe architecture, enhanced prop firm protection, integrated economic calendar filtering, and a real-time interactive dashboard — all built exclusively for XAUUSD (Gold).

HOW IT WORKS

XAU Sniper Pro is built around the concept of liquidity sweeps — moments when price pushes beyond a visible swing high or swing low, triggers pending orders stacked behind those levels, and then sharply reverses. This behavior is common on gold due to its high liquidity, volatile sessions, and concentration of stop orders near recent swing points.

The EA first identifies the most recent significant swing low (for buy setups) or swing high (for sell setups). It then monitors for a candle that breaks below the swing low — sweeping through the liquidity pool — but closes back above the previous structure. This rejection candle signals that the breakout was false and that a reversal is likely underway. Only then does the EA consider entering.

Three independent strategies run simultaneously, each operating on a different timeframe with its own optimized parameters:

• Strategy 1 (M30) — Captures short-term liquidity sweeps with tight risk (SL 15 pts / TP 49 pts, ~3.3:1 reward-to-risk)
• Strategy 2 (H1) — Medium-term setups with balanced parameters (SL 16 pts / TP 29 pts, ~1.8:1)
• Strategy 3 (H2) — Longer-duration setups with wider targets (SL 30 pts / TP 43 pts, ~1.4:1)

Each strategy has its own magic number and manages its own position independently. They can all be active at the same time or selectively enabled.

To avoid counter-trend entries, the EA applies a Weekly EMA trend filter: buys are only taken when H1 close is above the weekly EMA, and sells only when below. This keeps the system aligned with the dominant weekly bias.

Entry execution supports both market orders and limit orders automatically: if current price is already near the target entry zone, a market order is placed; if price has moved away, a buy/sell limit is placed at the calculated entry level.

KEY FEATURES

• Triple-timeframe architecture — Three strategies (M30, H1, H2) run simultaneously and independently, giving the EA multiple entry opportunities per session without interfering with one another

• Liquidity sweep reversal logic — Entries are based on price sweeping beyond swing highs/lows and closing back into range — one of the most consistent patterns on gold, and one that many retail indicators completely miss

• Weekly EMA trend filter — Configurable directional bias filter using the Weekly EMA ensures the EA only trades in the direction of the dominant trend, significantly reducing counter-trend losses

• No martingale. No grid. — Every trade is independent with a fixed stop loss. The EA never adds to a losing position or opens multiple orders in a laddered sequence. Risk is capped per trade.

• Dual lot sizing modes — Choose between a fixed lot size or automatic risk-based sizing (set a % of account equity per trade); lot size adjusts dynamically to account balance

• Prop firm protection built-in — A configurable random entry delay (2–45 seconds) disguises execution patterns, protecting accounts on prop firm challenges and evaluations

• Economic calendar filter — Connects to MetaTrader 5's built-in economic calendar and automatically pauses trading before and after high-impact (and optionally medium-impact) news events for configurable currencies

• Session and time filters — Choose from 24/7 mode, custom time windows, or named trading sessions (Asian, London, New York) to concentrate trading in your preferred market hours

• Spread filter — Optional maximum spread limit prevents entries during widening spreads, protecting against excessive slippage costs

• Telegram notifications — Receive real-time trade alerts (open, close, profit/loss, and EA startup confirmation) directly to your Telegram via bot integration

• Interactive dashboard — A fully rendered on-chart panel displays balance, equity, P&L, max drawdown, spread, news status, strategy status, equity curve history, and includes one-click PAUSE TRADING and CLOSE ALL buttons

IMPORTANT NOTES

Broker requirements: This EA is optimized for XAUUSD and requires a broker offering competitive spreads on gold (ideally 20 points or less during London/NY sessions). ECN and STP account types with direct market access are strongly recommended. Avoid brokers with high minimum stop levels, as this may interfere with the EA's fixed SL/TP parameters.

VPS is required for reliable operation. Gold trades 23 hours per day and the EA must remain connected to receive price ticks and execute trades. Interruptions due to internet drops or computer restarts will cause the EA to miss signals.

Strategy Tester note: News filtering and Telegram notifications are automatically disabled during backtesting (as designed by MetaTrader 5). All three strategies can be tested individually by enabling only one at a time in Strategy Tester for cleaner analysis.

Prop firm users: The random entry delay feature (2–45 seconds, configurable) is specifically designed to help pass prop firm evaluations by varying execution timing. Enable it under the "Entry Delay" input group. Note that prop firm rules vary — verify compatibility with your firm's specific guidelines.

Trading hours: Default is 24/7. If your broker shows unusual spreads during certain hours (e.g., market open, rollover), use the session filter or custom hours to restrict trading to your preferred windows.

GMT offset: If using session-based time filters, ensure the hours are calibrated to your broker's server time zone. Most ECN brokers run on GMT+2 or GMT+3 (with DST).

FAQ

Q: Does this EA use martingale or grid trading? A: No. XAU Sniper Pro does not use martingale position sizing or grid order systems. Each of the three strategies opens one position at a time with a fixed stop loss. There is no position averaging or lot multiplication after losses.

Q: Can I run only one or two of the three strategies? A: Yes. Each strategy (1, 2, and 3) can be enabled or disabled independently through the input parameters. You can run any combination — all three simultaneously, just one, or any pair.

Q: Is this EA suitable for prop firm challenges? A: It is designed with prop firm usage in mind. The random entry delay, fixed stop losses on every trade, absence of martingale/grid, and trading pause functionality all support typical prop firm rules. However, every firm has different requirements — always verify against your firm's specific rules before using any EA on a challenge account.

Q: What happens during high-impact news events? A: If the news filter is enabled, the EA automatically pauses trading for the configured number of minutes before and after high-impact events (and optionally medium-impact) for the selected currencies. If the filter is disabled, the EA trades normally around news — adjust based on your risk preference.

Q: Which brokers work best with this EA? A: ECN and STP brokers with raw or tight spreads on XAUUSD are recommended. Brokers offering spreads below 20 points on gold during London and New York sessions will give the best results. Market maker brokers with wide or variable spreads may negatively impact performance.

Q: What does the dashboard's "PAUSE TRADING" button do? A: Clicking PAUSE TRADING stops the EA from opening new positions while leaving any existing trades open to run to their stop loss or take profit. Click again to resume. The CLOSE ALL button immediately closes all open positions and cancels any pending orders across all three strategies.
