Hi, I'm Hoai Nam Trinh, founder and developer of Gold Algo Lab, specializing in building robust, risk-controlled trading systems with 8 years of hands-on market experience. I have been actively trading and building tools privately for many years, and recently started publishing my work on MQL5 to share practical solutions with the trading community. I specialize in building premium tools for MetaTrader 5 that help traders manage risk, control positions, and execute trades with precision. My work focuses on: • Advanced risk management • High-performance trade execution • One-click trading systems • XAUUSD (Gold) trading utilities • Professional tools for serious traders Gold Algo Lab is built on a simple philosophy: No hype. No unrealistic promises. Only practical tools that deliver real value.

Many traders focus only on strategy while overlooking the environment in which every trade is executed. Contract size, tick value, spread, commission, volume step, stop restrictions, swap, margin requirements and filling modes can vary between brokers and account types. These differences can cause the same EA, indicator or trade manager to behave differently across trading accounts. Inside this guide, you will learn how to: • Read the MT5 Symbol Specification window correctly • Understand digits, point size, tick size and tick value • Calculate approximate XAUUSD risk from contract size and lot size • Evaluate floating spreads, commission, swap and margin requirements • Understand stops level, freeze level and order-filling rules • Compare RAW and Standard trading accounts • Recognize important differences between demo and live execution • Test an EA or MT5 utility before using real money • Apply a structured pre-live broker testing framework • Use a practical broker checklist and notes worksheet The guide includes an EC Markets RAW account example for educational purposes, together with universal checks that can be applied to other MT5 brokers and broker-specific gold symbols such as XAUUSD, XAUUSD.n, XAUUSDm and XAUUSD.pro. This publication is designed for gold traders, MQL5 buyers, new MetaTrader 5 users and anyone preparing to move from demo testing to live trading. Author: Gold Algo Lab Focus: XAUUSD risk management, broker awareness and safer MT5 execution This guide is educational and does not provide profit guarantees or personalized financial advice.
