Overview
Aurora Gold Breakout is a gold breakout engine built on the same range-expansion logic that powers the highest-ranked gold EAs on the MQL5 marketplace. It watches the pre-New-York consolidation on XAUUSD H1, then rides the breakout when price expands out of the session range with conviction.

Frequently asked questions
What do I get after purchase?
A license key is emailed to you together with a secure download link. Choose your platform (MT4 .ex4 or MT5 .ex5), then paste the key into the EA's License Key field to activate it.
Which platform does it run on?
Both MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5). One license covers both builds — download whichever you need. Note: the MT5 build requires a hedging-mode account (the retail default).
How many terminals can I activate?
Up to 2 terminals (for example a home PC and a VPS). The license binds to your MT4 account on first activation.
Does it trade automatically?
Yes — it is an expert advisor that executes its strategy automatically once attached and activated. You stay in control of risk via the inputs.
