🤖 Introduction

Lizard EA V1.72 is a fully automated Expert Advisor developed exclusively for XAUUSD (Gold) on MetaTrader 5. It employs a sophisticated multi-strategy swing breakout system that identifies key structural levels on the H1 chart and places pending stop orders at precisely calculated entry points. The EA explicitly rejects martingale, grid, and averaging systems, ensuring every trade has a defined Stop Loss and Take Profit with active position management through a multi-layered exit system.

Multi-Layered Exit System: Break Even, Trailing Stop Loss, Trailing Take Profit, Magic Trail (step-based SL progression), and Virtual Stop Loss for comprehensive position management
No Martingale, No Grid, No Averaging: Every trade has a defined Stop Loss and Take Profit with no recovery modes
NFP Protection: Automatically pauses trading before and after Non-Farm Payrolls releases
