⚠ Ruin-by-Design Category (averaging-down/grid)
This EA uses an averaging-down (grid) strategy. A stop-loss ($72/level) + a margin-level stop (55%) + a downtrend-regime freeze filter are built in, and it had 0 blowups over 9.4 years live, but averaging-down inherently carries the risk of sudden moves.Daily withdrawal recommended, surplus funds only, 5% or less of your portfolio — operate accordingly.

⚡ Minimum deposit: from 100k JPY (for averaging-down types, a Micro (cent) account is strongly recommended)
You can operate from 100k JPY. Because averaging-down builds up floating losses, Micro (cent) account running it on this is strongly recommended (the real risk of a 0.01 lot becomes about 1/100, so even stacking levels with the same 100k JPY is far safer). This EA's input CentAccount=true automatically adapts the cent account's USD-denominated thresholds (stop-loss $72, etc.). ⚠ Ruin by design, surplus funds only, daily withdrawal recommended.
How the strategy works (entry, stop, target)
On XAUUSD M5, a gold-specific averaging system that judges trend with a 30-day regime filter and grids pullbacks. ⚠ Ruin-risk category, but strong safety stops gave 0 blow-ups over 13 years of real testing.
⚠ Averaging EAs can mathematically blow up. This EA strongly suppresses that with a $72 basket stop, but still withdraw daily and use only money you can afford to lose.
Run Mode (Defensive / Standard / Aggressive)
Every EA exposes a "RunMode" dropdown that switches aggressiveness across three levels. It only multiplies the lot (risk) — entry/exit logic, symbol and timeframe never change.
Defensive
×0.5Half of standard risk. Both max drawdown and expected return are roughly halved. For capital preservation or first-time automated trading.
Standard (recommended)
×1.0The backtest figures shown on this page use this setting. Start here.
Aggressive
×2.0Double the standard risk. Return and max drawdown roughly double, raising the risk of ruin. Use only with money you can afford to lose.
Approximations relative to Standard (Defensive ≈ 0.5x / Aggressive ≈ 2x). Drawdown does not scale linearly; in sharp markets Aggressive can exceed this estimate. Lots auto-adjust to balance when compounding is on.

🥇 GOLD KAMIKAZE Averaging-Down EA
An XAUUSD-only grid averaging-down EA. It stacks same-direction positions at fixed intervals (250 pips, multiplier 1.1) and takes profit at a group TP (350 pips). A triple safeguard — a per-level stop-loss ($72), full closure at a 55% margin level, and during a downtrend regime (long-term SMA) freezing new entries + closing in profit — avoids the account meltdown characteristic of averaging-down. A fixed InitialLot of 0.01 is the survival sweet spot.

📊 Strategy Logic (averaging-down with built-in safeguards)
1. Grid Averaging-Down
Stacks in the same direction at 250-pip intervals (max 5 levels / lot multiplier 1.1). Closes all at a group TP of 350 pips
2. Per-Level Stop-Loss
Sets a $72 stop-loss at each level = forcibly stops the snowball effect
3. Margin-Level Stop
Force-closes all positions if the margin level falls below 55% = retreats before blowup
4. Downtrend-Regime Freeze
When the long-term SMA (8640 bars) is sloping down, it stops new cycles + freezes averaging-down + closes in profit = avoids one-directional crashes
5. Lot Management
InitialLot=0.01 fixed. Increasing it backfires (PF 0.98 loss at 0.05 / DD 99% at 0.10)

⚠️ Risk Warning (common to averaging-down EAs)
- Averaging-down inherently carries the risk of a large loss all at once during sudden moves or sustained trends
- The yield is low at about 1.5%/yr (a fixed 0.01 lot prioritizing safety). Changing settings to chase higher yields sharply increases blowup risk
- Daily withdrawal recommended; don't let profits accumulate in the account
- Surplus funds only, 5% or less of your portfolio, and parallel operation with conservative EAs recommended
