User Guide: XAUUSD M5 Stable Parameter Template
This page explains how to configure the EA input panel. The template is designed for XAUUSD on M5 in standard neutral grid mode. Test on a demo account for at least 72 hours before using small live capital.
Unit rule: 1 = 0.01 lot. Dollar-distance parameters refer to real price/profit distance after the unified distance logic. Adjust lot size according to account size; do not increase layers blindly.

When one-sided mode is enabled, the standard neutral grid and normal strategy logic are automatically blocked. When a slave account is in copy-trading mode, its own direction mode, trend signal, and martingale parameters do not make trading decisions; it follows the master account signal only.
Operating Notes
- For larger or smaller capital, adjust base lot units first. Do not blindly increase the number of layers.
- During volatile gold sessions, widen the martingale dollar step, pyramid step, and stop-loss refill spacing multiplier.
- For cloud copy trading, the Master account uses the full strategy template. Slave accounts mainly configure role, Master ID, lot multiplier, fixed lot, and max lot.
- Keep risk control enabled in live trading. Do not disable protection only for short-term return expectations.
