Most EAs are static — they use the same parameters from Wednesday to Friday, from January to December. But gold's behavior changes constantly. Volatility spikes during FOMC, contracts during holidays, and shifts personality between sessions.
Gold Quantum Scalper AI maintains a rolling performance window — the last N trades (configurable). It calculates real-time metrics: current win rate, average risk-reward, consecutive loss count, and equity curve slope. When these metrics deviate from expected ranges, the adaptation kicks in:
If win rate drops below threshold: The EA reduces position size and widens SL to give trades more room in volatile conditions.
If win rate exceeds threshold: Position size increases within defined limits, and TP targets extend to capture more from winning streaks.
If equity curve falls below its moving average: Trading pauses entirely until the curve recovers above the average — a self-imposed circuit breaker.
This creates an EA that automatically becomes conservative during drawdowns and aggressive during winning periods — exactly what a skilled human trader would do, but without the emotional interference.
