🌱 4-line summary for beginnersGlossary
- What does this EA do?
- An ultra-aggressive session grid EA on gold M1. PF 4.66 over 7.5 years, but max DD 91% — it has survived a near-total wipeout.
- Price?
- Free: register an account with a partner broker and download a copy locked to that account. If you don't want to open an account, buy it on the MQL5 Market (buy-out or rent; the price is shown on the purchase page). Both options are lower on this page.
- Who it suits
- Experienced traders chasing high returns who accept one very large loss. Not a good first EA for a beginner.
- After getting it
- Install MT5
- Free version: put the downloaded file in the MT5 Experts folder. If bought on MQL5, it appears in the MT5 'Market' tab. Drag it onto a chart and set it up
- Run it on a XAUUSD M1 chart, on a demo account for 1–2 weeks first, then go live
⚠ v6 is a complete engine replacement (2026-07-07). Old v3 was a defensive XAUUSD M30 breakout; v6 is an AGGRESSIVE XAUUSD M1 session-scheduled basket grid (default preset = Ultra). After auto-update: re-attach to an M1 chart, close positions opened by the old version before updating, and select the Defensive/Balanced preset if you prefer the old defensive profile. The default Ultra preset has a worst relative drawdown of 87%.

How the strategy works (entry, stop, target)
On XAUUSD M30 it trades only volatility-expansion regimes, riding strong channel-breakout momentum to large ATR-scaled targets. In quiet markets it simply stands aside (v3, 8.5 years of real-tick verification, all 9 years positive).
Entry
A closed bar must break the 24-bar channel by at least ATR×0.6 (weak pokes ignored), in the EMA50/200 trend direction, during the London/NY session (6-20 UTC).
Regime filter
New entries only when ATR(14) ≥ ATR(100)×1.2 — gold must be in volatility expansion. Choppy years like 2018/2021/2022 are skipped automatically (the key to all years positive).
Take profit
Closes the whole basket at ATR×5.5 of group profit — targets adapt automatically from $2-ATR to $15-ATR gold, with a floor of 3× the current spread.
Stop loss
Force-closes the basket at ATR×1.5 of group loss — a true momentum profile (~34% win rate, winners ~5× larger than losers), plus an emergency close below 150% margin level.
Grid
Adds the same lot every ATR×1.0 of adverse move, up to 5 orders. Same-size (not martingale), so it cannot snowball into ruin.
Risk
Lot size is computed so one group stop costs RiskPercent of balance (default 2%), volatility-normalized. Switchable via the Run-Mode dropdown (Defensive ×0.5 / Standard / Aggressive ×2).
Timeframe
M30 balances catching the breakout early against the noise of lower timeframes — tuned to gold's volatility.

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.
