🦎 Lizard EA V1.72 MT5 — NO DLL | Multi-Strategy Swing Breakout for Gold

9 independent strategies. Precise stop-order entries. Zero martingale. Zero grid.

Lizard is a fully automated Expert Advisor developed exclusively for XAUUSD (Gold) on MetaTrader 5. It uses a multi-strategy swing breakout system that identifies significant structural levels on the chart and places pending stop orders at precisely calculated entry points — waiting for real breakouts, not weak price touches.

Every trade has a defined stop loss and take profit, actively managed by a multi-layered exit system around the clock. Built by developer Marco Scherer with continuous refinement and responsive buyer support.

🎯 How Lizard EA Works

Lizard continuously scans the XAUUSD chart for significant swing highs and swing lows across multiple timeframes. When a valid structure is identified, it places a pending buy stop or sell stop order at a calibrated distance from the level.

A real breakout is required to trigger the order — not merely a price touch. This approach filters out weak moves and only enters on confirmed momentum.

9 independent strategies run simultaneously, each with its own:

• Entry timeframe (M1 to D1)
• Stop loss and take profit
• Trailing system
• Magic number
• Risk weighting

🚀 Key Features

🧠 Multi-Strategy Architecture

Nine individually optimized strategies cover different market conditions — from short-term intraday breakouts to multi-day swing setups. Strategies activate automatically based on account balance and risk setting.

📊 Dynamic Price Scaling

All entry offsets, stop losses and take profits scale proportionally with the current gold price. A strategy optimized at $2,000 gold adjusts automatically at $3,000 gold — no manual re-tuning required.

🕐 Smart Time Filter

Each strategy has individually calibrated kill-hours based on historical GMT performance analysis. Hours with a profit factor below 1.0 are automatically blocked.

🛡️ Multi-Layered Exit System

• Break Even — moves SL to entry once profit threshold reached
• Trailing Stop Loss — follows price to protect gains
• Trailing Take Profit — adjusts TP dynamically
• Magic Trail — step-based SL progression
• Virtual Stop Loss — closes positions in software, invisible to broker

📰 NFP Filter

Automatically pauses trading before and after Non-Farm Payrolls releases.

🚪 Market Close Protection

Pending orders are automatically removed before the daily market close window.

🏆 Prop Firm Compatible

Maximum daily drawdown input available for prop firm challenge compliance (FTMO, MFF, FundedNext, The5%ers).

⚠️ Risk Warning

Trading gold involves significant risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Multi-strategy breakout systems can experience clusters of losses during choppy or ranging markets — this is a structural feature, not a malfunction. Use ECN/RAW Spread brokers with low XAUUSD spreads for best execution. A reliable VPS is strongly recommended for 24/5 operation. Always test on a demo account before going live. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose.
