Note: this is an EA that trades based on signals coming from a server. Caution is advised when it comes to the account size traded & minimum lot size since it can open a lot of positions sometimes. If the gold trend changes or a strong enough retracement happens, your account risks a margin call. Version 4 attempts to work around this problem to a certain extent but it remains to be seen how well it will succeed. The v4 backtests seem to have no problem with the extreme retracement in 2011 that brought v3 to its knees. My v3 test that failed remains posted below.
