GoldMiner Drill
Tactical Position-Building EA for Gold (XAUUSD)
“Find the trend. Build the position intelligently. Protect the downside.”
Builds exposure only while trend, volatility, and risk conditions remain valid — with no Martingale and no blind grid.
Designed to follow confirmed trends and control every new entry within a strict campaign risk cap.
Most trading robots focus on entries.
GoldMiner Drill focuses on what happens after the entry.
Instead of treating every tick as an isolated gamble, GoldMiner Drill executes the trading idea as a single, budgeted Drill Campaign.
Blind Averaging & Infinite Hope
Takes an entry. When price moves against it, adds more lots at fixed pip intervals. Doubles volume, accumulates drawdown, removes stop loss, and hopes for a bounce.
Budgeted, Asymmetric Execution
Validates higher-timeframe trend. Sets a hard campaign risk budget. Adds only on healthy structural pullbacks with exhaustion confirmation, recalculates average price, moves Break-Even, and takes partial profits.
Three Trading Modes
Same disciplined risk engine. Different ways to build exposure.
| Mode | Entry Style | Scaling Logic | Risk Profile | Best Market Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sniper | Single surgical entry | None (1 single ticket) | Conservative | Clean trending moves |
| Pullback Drill | Trend retracements | Controlled (ATR spaced, budgeted) | Balanced | Healthy trends with pullbacks |
| Pyramid Drill | Trend momentum expansion | In profit only (trailing protected) | Progressive | Strong directional runs |
Sniper Mode
One signal. One entry. Zero re-entries.
Opens a single position after trend confirmation and MTF filters align. Operates with an asymmetric 1:2 Risk:Reward target and does not open secondary orders. Tailored for conservative profiles and prop accounts requiring clean, unscaled trades.
Engineered around risk asymmetry and capital protection.
Every layer of the algorithm is calibrated to protect the account against prolonged chop, flash spikes, and emotional mistakes.
Campaign Risk Budget
Capped monetary exposure per campaign (default 0.25% - 0.50% equity). Any new Drill level exceeding the ceiling is strictly rejected.
ATR Stop & Take Profit
Calculates dynamic stop distances calibrated to real-time Gold volatility rather than arbitrary fixed pip amounts.
Weighted Average Break-Even
Synchronizes Stop Loss across all tickets to the weighted average entry price plus buffer points once the initial ATR threshold is reached.
50% Scale-Out Partial TP
Automatically closes 50% of the campaign volume at +1.0R, securing realized profit and creating a Reduced-Risk Runner on the rest.
Pre-News Position Shield
Integrates directly with the native MT5 Economic Calendar, arming Break-Even protections ahead of high-impact USD economic events.
Prop-Firm Risk Controls
Real daily loss lock (% equity), peak equity drawdown lock, post-stop emotional cooldown (30–60 min), and Friday EOD auto-flatten.
* Includes configurable risk protections designed to help traders operate within common proprietary trading evaluation constraints. Always verify the current rules of your proprietary trading firm before deployment.
Tested Across Different Gold Conditions
Evaluated on real tick data across multi-year market cycles — including deep pandemic volatility, interest rate hiking cycles, and all-time-high expansions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers on architecture, risk budgeting, prop firms and compatibility.
Does GoldMiner Drill use Martingale or infinite grids?
No. GoldMiner Drill operates on strict anti-martingale principles. Total campaign risk is capped upfront (default 0.25% to 0.50%), secondary addition volumes never increase, and every order is protected by real Stop Loss.
Is it compatible with Netting and Hedging accounts?
Yes. The algorithm automatically queries broker account properties in MT5 and unifies weighted average entry calculations, Break-Even, and partial exits without manual configuration.
Does the EA repaint signals?
No. Zero Repaint. Entries, SuperTrend state, and MTF alignments are verified strictly on completed historical bars (bar 1), eliminating intrabar noise and repainting.
Can I use this for Prop Firm evaluations?
GoldMiner Drill includes configurable risk controls designed to help traders operate within common evaluation constraints, including the dedicated 02_GoldMiner_XAUUSD_M15_Conservative_PropFirm.set. Always verify the current rules of your specific proprietary trading firm before deployment.
What are the recommended timeframes?
For Gold (XAUUSD), the recommended timeframes are M5 (Balanced execution) or M15 (Conservative / Prop-Firm). For the Multi-Asset preset on Forex or Indices, H1 is recommended.
How does the Anti-Falling-Knife filter work?
In Pullback Drill mode, it prevents adding positions into sharp downward momentum until volatility exhaustion and candlestick resumption are confirmed.
Does the EA guarantee profits?
No. No algorithm can guarantee profits or prevent losses in financial markets. GoldMiner Drill is an automated risk-management tool designed to enforce structured execution and downside control.
