How it works
GOLD VIPER is an aggressive EA that runs a mean-reversion scalp plus a selective grid on XAUUSD M1. The hypothesis: when M1 gold stretches too far from a moving average (EMA20) it tends to snap back quickly. The edge is three-layered — (1) fade only statistically stretched moves (confirmed by RSI and a range filter) to bank many small high-win take-profits; (2) if price keeps going, average the position with a same-lot selective grid while a fixed per-leg stop caps the loss of each leg; (3) a margin cap halts grid-deepening and new baskets when the margin level falls, preventing a runaway floating loss (a full wipe). With the grid (recovery) off the strategy is a net loss on real data, so the profit depends on the grid's recovery power — hence the attack / blow-up-accepted positioning.
Entry & exit timing
- Entry: when price is at least DevEntryUSD ($1.5) away from EMA20 and RSI(14) is oversold/overbought (30/70), fade it for a snap-back.
- Range filter: skip fading when price is in a strong trend (distance from the EMA200 exceeds ATR×2.5) — avoids big losses in one-way markets.
- Take-profit: close each leg at a small fixed TP ($3). In grid mode the whole basket closes when float >= total lots × $3.
- Stop-loss: each leg has a fixed SL ($4.5 ≈ 1.5× TP). This per-leg stop is the survival mechanism that caps each leg's loss (disabling it risks a full wipe).
- Grid add: add a same-lot leg every RecoveryStepUSD ($2) of adverse move, up to 5 legs, improving the average price.
- Safety: when the margin level drops below MinMarginLevelPct (2000%), grid-deepening and new baskets stop — capping equity DD from 97% (best window, uncapped) to about 7%.

Where it fails / main risks
- Sustained strong trend: if price keeps running one way while the fading grid waits for reversion, the basket's floating loss grows. The margin cap prevents a full wipe but a large drawdown is unavoidable.
- No long real-broker record: at release the real-spread track is only 5.5 months; the 12-year figure is optimistic demo spread. Future markets/spreads can lower results.
- Changing settings breaks it: trailing ON, lowering DevEntryUSD below 1.5, martingale lots, or removing the margin cap each produced a -100% wipe in testing. Do not change the default settings.
- Spread/fill dependent: an M1 scalp is sensitive to costs — it needs a low-spread account and fast fills; wide spreads or slippage hurt results. Withdraw daily and trade with under 10% of your portfolio.

The real risk, blow-up triggers, compounding note▾
A reverse-engineered attack-type clone of the MQL5 best-seller 'Scalping Robot Pro' ($1,499). XAUUSD M1 mean-reversion scalp combined with a same-lot selective grid recovery, per-leg stop, and a margin-cap anti-blowup. Real spread (Exness, 5.5 months): PF 2.46, 88.9% win, equity-DD 6.9%, ¥100k → ¥1.28M (x12.8). Grid-dependent: blow-up accepted, spare capital, separate account only.
- ⚠ Blow-up-accepted grid. Removing the margin cap, enabling trailing, lowering the deviation below 1.5, or multiplying lots EACH wiped the account (-100%) in testing. Do not change the default settings.
- Grid recovery 'holds losers and waits', so the visible balance DD looks low — but the real risk is floating loss (equity DD). Even in its best real window, without the cap equity DD hit 97% (near total wipe).
- Withdraw daily, use only spare capital you can afford to lose, keep it under 10% of your portfolio, and prefer a micro (cent) account.
- If you want a low-drawdown defensive EA, use AUREUS GOLD or another defensive EA instead.

Compounding keeps profit in the account and scales the next lot to balance — losses also grow when the market turns. Figures are past backtests and do not guarantee future results.
