⚠ 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
The "RunMode" dropdown switches how aggressively the EA trades. Only the lot (risk) changes — entry/exit logic, symbol and timeframe stay the same.
Defensive
×0.5Half the Standard lot. For capital preservation or first-time automated trading.
Standard (recommended)
×1.0The reference risk level. Start here.
Aggressive
×2.0Twice the Standard lot. Drawdowns deepen and the risk of ruin rises. Use only money you can afford to lose.
Per-mode backtests for this EA have not been measured. We do not publish figures estimated from Standard.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. With compounding on, lots adjust automatically to the balance.

📈MT5 Strategy Tester Report — 🥇 GOLD KAMIKAZE Averaging-Down EA
📋 About this report
- Official report generated by the MT5 Strategy Tester (real-tick data)
- Multi-year real price data with the every-tick (real ticks) model
- Balance curve (blue) / Equity curve (green) shows floating losses too
- Past results do not guarantee future profits
🥇 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
