Do not hold long. A short-term settlement EA that grabs instantaneous rebounds

Minimum Spike GOLD is an MT4-only EA that targets short-term rebound moments of GOLD.

Designed to be aware of not holding long and to capture instant rebounds in a short-term settlement manner.
Typically settles in a short time, but depending on market conditions, holding time may be longer.

Rather than aiming for a single massive move, it is designed to accumulate small gains steadily.
After spike detection, we combine waiting, rebound confirmation, higher-timeframe filters, and a rapid-drop cooldown to select entries while avoiding chasing entries unreasonably.

Backtest (2 years, 10,000 USD)

First, to make the basic character of this product easy to understand, we present a 2-year backtest with an initial margin of 10,000 USD.

All ticks, 99.90% quality verification,
PF 7.03, max DD 2.15%, total trades 423as results.
It shows a steadily rising curve, and as a short-term settlement EA, it exhibits a quite straightforward progression.

Win rate is98.11%, maximum drawdown is$223.43 (2.15%), not aggressively pushing, and tends to accumulate small gains in the short term, clearly showing its nature.

This is a backtest operated with a margin of $1,000 (1 year).

Design philosophy

This EA is not a deep averaging or martingale-type that increases lots exponentially.
Initial lot is fixed, and the maximum number of positions is kept to2.

The aim is the rebound phase that tends to occur after short-term abrupt movements in GOLD.
However, rather than jumping in as soon as a spike is detected,

• Wait a little after the spike
• Confirm the rebound
• Check higher-timeframe conditions
• Skip immediately after a sharp drop

This flow is to pick only positions that are as reasonable as possible.

Therefore, although it is a short-term EA, it is designed not as a momentum-based reckless trading but as
“to enter carefully in order to take a small gain quickly”
emphasizing careful entry.

The logic is simple.

It detects short-term spikes in GOLD, and buys after confirming the rebound from there.
After entry, it settles based on aggregate profit, typically aiming for a quick resolution.

Internally, also includes

• Upper-timeframe EMA filter
• Rapid-drop cooldown
• Avoidance right after new low
• New block on drawdown

and adjusts to avoid entering in dangerous situations.

On the chart, you can check current status, waiting reason, number of holdings, average entry price, profit/loss, and spread.
Simple, but a UI that makes it easy to grasp the situation during operation.

Input items are limited to the necessary minimum,
“lot size”, “maximum number of positions”, “take profit amount”, “time settings”, “spike-related”
and so on, are clearly organized.

Magic number
Identification number for each EA.
Used when running multiple EAs on the same account or running the same EA with different settings.

Lot
The lot size used per entry.
Increasing it increases both profit and drawdown. First, 0.01 is recommended.

Maximum number of positions
The maximum holdings this EA can have.
Default is 2, which is quite manageable for a short-term settlement type. Increasing it tends to increase drawdown.

Slippage tolerance
Tolerance width for market orders.
Usually no change needed.

Take profit amount
Target amount for aggregate take profit.
This EA is designed to accumulate small gains, so this is an important item.

Minimum profit guard
Settings to not execute a take profit unless a certain profit is reached.
Guard against taking profits at micro gains or rounding errors.

Plus decision buffer
A buffer value to make take-profit decision slightly safer.

Use time filter / Start time / End time
The time window when the EA makes new entries.
For this EA, timing is quite important. It is recommended to use the times that performed well in validation.

Spike post-wait seconds
How many seconds to wait after spike detection before entering.
Shorter times increase frequency; longer times result in more selective entries.

Spike multiplier K
Criteria for how big a move is considered a spike.
The larger, the more selective.

Panel display / ALL CLEAR button display
Simple UI display during operation.
Can be switched as needed.
