VDI Algo EA V1.1 MT4 – Volume + Trend Gold Trading Bot


Introduction


Gold (XAU/USD) has always been one of the most volatile and liquid assets in the forex market. Traders love it for its fast moves, but without proper risk control, gold can wipe out accounts as quickly as it creates profits. That’s why the VDI Algo EA V1.1 MT4 is such a valuable tool.


This Expert Advisor is designed specifically to trade gold on the H1 timeframe, combining VDI volume analysis with EMA trend confirmation to filter signals. Add in auto breakeven stop-loss, detailed logs, and strict order validation, and you’ve got a bot that trades smarter, not harder.


Available for free at ForexFactory.cc, powered by YoForex, this EA brings together automation, discipline, and transparency.

How It Works


The EA combines two powerful concepts:



  1. VDI Indicator (Volume Strength):

  2. Identifies whether buyers or sellers are dominating.

  3. Confirms if price movement has real backing from market volumes.

  4. EMA Filter (Trend Direction):

  5. Only trades in the direction of the EMA-confirmed trend.

  6. Filters out weak countertrend signals.

  7. Execution Safeguards:

  8. Validates order volume against broker rules.

  9. Applies stop-loss and take-profit at entry.

  10. Moves stop-loss to breakeven automatically.

  11. Transparency:

  12. Generates detailed logs of every decision—why it entered, skipped, or modified trades.
