Trying out high frequency trading on MT4 with Gold. Here's what I've found

[trader_pedro]

I am experimenting with some strategies on the 1-minute (M1) time frame to simulate high-frequency trading (HFT) on the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) platform. The current results are for Gold (XAUUSD). I use a take profit (TP) level of 0.5$ per trade. If I want to test it in a longer period, I need to use tick data instead of open-high-low-close (OHLC) data on my trade simulator.

Very nice results, just make sure to calculate the tendency of spread widening during the off hours, That will change the results in a real trading

TP - 300 SL -0 or close manually if you see that the trend is changing....consecutive bullish signals 2 , depend on the amount of your account use 0.01 or 0.1
