Golden Zone OB Lock and Trail EA V5.28 MT5 – Smart SMC Trading


Introduction


Price action and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) have taken over the trading world—but manually mapping order blocks, fib retracements, and trap setups is messy. That’s why the Golden Zone OB Lock and Trail EA V5.28 MT5 exists.


This latest release adds a serious upgrade: dual tally scoring, Golden Band validations, upgraded trap UI, and improved protection logic. Designed for traders who work with EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, XAUUSD, and indices, it blends precision SMC with automation and risk-first controls.


Available free at ForexFactory.cc and backed by YoForex, this EA brings together advanced logic with clean usability for MT5 traders.


What’s New in v5.28


The new build introduces smarter confirmations and improved flexibility:



  • Dual-tally SMC scoring – bull and bear sides scored independently, each with per-level weights. Entries require both threshold and side dominance. Optional median plotting for extra precision.

  • Golden Band modes – traps can validate, intersect, or snap into a 61.8–78.6 fib zone, with tolerance and overlap controls.

  • Trap UI upgrade – pending traps now show TOP/MED/BOT with legality checks, orientation, per-trap lot caps, per-side limits, and toggle for clean visuals.

  • Asset-class presets integrated – FX, gold, and indices each get optimized guards: spread-vs-ATR gating, ATR scaling, and min-distance multipliers.

  • BE & protection refinements – break-even logic re-engages, includes hard-lock at entry, plus money-locker + ATR hysteresis trail. All unified under a monotonic stop system with prechecks.


This means fewer false signals, safer entries, and cleaner trade visuals.

  • Trap-based entries – pending orders at TOP/MED/BOT with orientation & legality checks

  • Lot control – per-trap caps, per-side limits, proportional sizing

  • Asset presets – adapt spreads, ATR, multipliers by symbol class

  • UnifiedStop protection – breakeven + trailing + monetary lock in sync

  • Equity safety filters – no runaway exposure

  • Customizable trading hours – align traps to session flows

  • Multi-symbol compatibility – FX majors, gold, indices


Strategy Logic


The EA follows a structured, SMC-driven workflow:



  1. Dual-Side Scoring: Each order block side (bull/bear) scored independently. Stronger side must dominate before entry.

  2. Golden Band Validation: Traps validated only if aligned within 61.8–78.6 fib retracement zone.

  3. Trap Placement: Pending traps at TOP/MED/BOT, filtered for legality and orientation.

  4. Execution: When conditions align, orders trigger with strict per-trap lot rules.

  5. Protection: SL moves via UnifiedStop system: BE, money-lock, and ATR trail combine safely.


This reduces false setups and enforces structure—no random scalping.
