🔢 Sailing Gold EA MT4 Settings: Complete Inputs Guide

Sailing Gold EA MT4 is an automated trading system designed specifically for Gold (XAUUSD) on the MetaTrader 4 platform. Its trading approach combines momentum analysis, volatility-based market modeling, and scalping logic, with optional Moving Average (MA) filters to help identify trading opportunities. The EA’s Inputs settings allow traders to configure lot sizing, spread limits, take-profit and stop-loss levels, trailing stops, trade frequency, trend filters, and operating hours. <Cite refs={[“turn480988search0”]}/>

This guide explains all 20 visible settings in the supplied configuration, preserving the original parameter names and values.

Sailing Gold EA MT4 Settings Panel

⚙️ Trading Costs and Lot Management

🔹 Max Spread = 48: Sets the maximum spread threshold to 48 points. The EA can use this value to determine whether market spread is acceptable for trading, depending on its internal filter logic. The appropriate setting depends on the broker’s spread and the number of decimal places used for XAUUSD pricing.

🔹 Fixed Lot (0.0 to activate Auto Lot) = 0.0: Sets the fixed lot size to 0.0, which activates automatic lot sizing according to the parameter label. The EA therefore uses the Auto Lot setting rather than a manually specified fixed volume.

🔹 Auto Lot (if Fixed Lot = 0.0) = 1.0: Sets the automatic lot-sizing coefficient to 1.0. According to the product’s published settings, this corresponds to approximately 0.01 lots per $1,000 balance, or 1.0 lot per $100,000 balance. Actual position size remains subject to the EA’s calculation and the broker’s volume requirements. <Cite refs={[“turn480988search0”]}/>

⚙️ Take-Profit, Stop-Loss, and Trailing Settings

🔹 Take Profit = 2000: Sets the take-profit distance to 2000 points. The EA uses this parameter to define the target distance for closing a trade in profit, subject to its trade-management logic and the instrument’s point size.

🔹 Max Stop Loss (0 mean No SL) = 5000: Sets the maximum stop-loss distance to 5000 points. The label indicates that 0 means no stop loss; the current value of 5000 therefore specifies a nonzero protective threshold. The actual distance in price terms depends on the broker’s XAUUSD pricing precision.

🔹 Trailing = 10: Sets the trailing-stop distance to 10 points. When trailing is active, this value determines the distance used by the EA to manage the stop relative to the favorable price movement, according to its internal rules.

🔹 Trailing Step = 1: Sets the trailing adjustment step to 1 point. This controls the minimum increment used when the EA updates the trailing stop, depending on its implementation.

🔹 Start Trailing = 50: Sets the trailing activation threshold to 50 points. The trailing mechanism is configured to begin operating after the relevant trade reaches this threshold, subject to the EA’s internal conditions.

⚙️ Trade Frequency and Signal Model

🔹 Max Trades = 20: Sets the maximum permitted number of trades to 20, according to the EA’s trade-limit logic. This parameter helps constrain the number of active or managed trades, although the exact counting method should be confirmed for the installed version.

🔹 Model Signals = Model 1: Selects Model 1 as the signal model. This determines which of the EA’s available signal configurations is used to identify potential trading entries. The precise differences between signal models depend on the EA’s implementation.

⚙️ Moving Average Trend Filter

🔹 Use MA Trend Filter = true: Enables the Moving Average trend filter. When active, the EA can use the selected MA settings to help assess market direction and filter potential entries according to its trend rules.

🔹 MA Trend Period = 10: Sets the Moving Average period to 10. The EA uses this period to calculate the trend indicator, with the resulting sensitivity depending on the selected MA method and timeframe.

🔹 MA Method = Exponential: Selects the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) method. An EMA gives greater weight to more recent prices than a Simple Moving Average (SMA), allowing it to respond more quickly to recent price changes.

🔹 MA Timeframe = 1 Minute: Sets the trend-filter timeframe to 1 Minute (M1). The Moving Average is therefore calculated using data from the one-minute chart, regardless of the chart timeframe on which the EA is attached, provided the EA supports separate timeframe calculations.

⚙️ Moving Average Bands Settings

🔹 Use MA Bands = true: Enables the MA Bands filter. This feature adds a band-based condition to the EA’s trading logic, although the exact band calculation and how it affects entries depend on the programmed strategy.

🔹 MA Bands Period = 2: Sets the MA Bands period to 2. This short period can make the band calculation responsive to recent price changes. Its exact effect depends on how the EA calculates and applies the bands.

🔹 MA Bands Timeframe = 1 Minute: Sets the MA Bands timeframe to 1 Minute (M1). The band calculation therefore uses one-minute market data, subject to the EA’s internal implementation.

⚙️ Trading Schedule

🔹 Time Start = 01:30: Sets the configured trading start time to 01:30. The EA can use this value to determine when new trading activity is allowed, according to its schedule logic and time reference.

🔹 Time End = 22:30: Sets the configured trading end time to 22:30. This defines the end of the specified trading window. The effective schedule depends on whether the EA uses broker-server time or another time reference.

🔹 Close at Time End = false: Disables the option to close trades automatically at the configured end time. With this setting, reaching 22:30 does not activate closing through this particular option, although other exit rules can still close positions.

⚙️ Order Identification and Comments

🔹 Magic Number = 86668: Assigns the magic number 86668 to identify trades managed by the EA. This helps distinguish the EA’s trades from manually opened positions or trades belonging to other expert advisors, depending on the order-management implementation.

🔹 Comment = Sailing Gold: Sets the order comment to Sailing Gold. Where supported by the broker and EA, this text can appear in trade records and help identify orders created by this system.

🔢 Conclusion

Sailing Gold EA MT4 provides configurable controls for automatic position sizing, spread conditions, trade exits, trailing stops, signal selection, Moving Average filters, and trading hours. The supplied configuration uses automatic lot sizing with Fixed Lot = 0.0 and Auto Lot = 1.0, a take-profit distance of 2000 points, a maximum stop-loss distance of 5000 points, and a maximum trade setting of 20.

Both the MA trend filter and MA Bands are enabled, using a 10-period Exponential Moving Average on the 1 Minute timeframe and a bands period of 2. The configured trading window runs from 01:30 to 22:30, while automatic closing at the end time is disabled.

Before live deployment, the spread threshold, lot-sizing calculation, and all point-based distances should be checked against the broker’s XAUUSD pricing precision. The default settings should not be assumed to guarantee profitability or limit losses to a fixed amount. Demo testing and careful monitoring of exposure are recommended before trading with real funds.
