v1.0

Initial MQL5 Market release.

The first public release of Gold Scalpel on the MQL5 Market — a pre-tuned, fully automated XAUUSD breakout scalper.

Pre-tuned strategy. The breakout approach ships dialled in — no optimisation required. You only set risk and behaviour for your own account.
Automatic trade management. Each trade is moved to breakeven early and then trailed, keeping losses small and letting winners run.
Percentage-risk sizing. Position size is calculated from your chosen risk percentage, capped by a maximum-lot ceiling, and snapped to your broker's minimum lot and lot step.
Optional losing-streak cooldown. Pauses new entries after a run of consecutive losses, then resumes automatically.
Automatic weekend pause. Cancels resting orders and stops opening new trades into the weekend, then resumes when the market reopens.
Styled on-chart dashboard. A clean, gold-themed panel shows account status, strategy state, and live counters, refreshing every second even when the market is closed.
Simple, focused settings. Just eight inputs, grouped into General, Risk Management, Losing-Streak Cooldown, and Display.
