Gold is fast, volatile, and can drain your account if you’re careless. Golden Dad EA V1.0 MT4 was built to handle gold the way a father manages a household budget—steady, controlled, with safety first. Available for free on ForexFactory.cc and powered by YoForex, this EA specializes in XAUUSD trading with strong equity protection.


The strategy blends trend-follow entries with pullback confirmation, using ATR-based stops and smart trailing. It’s not reckless: there’s no martingale, no doubling down, no gambling. Just disciplined gold entries with risk management that keeps you safe even during wild gold rallies or sudden drops.
