Viserys II EA – Gold Scalper for MT4 with 85%+ Win Rate on XAUUSD M15

Viserys II EA is a short-term scalping system targeting XAUUSD on the M15 timeframe inside MetaTrader 4. Backtests across two separate capital scenarios show an 85–86% win rate with a profit factor between 1.33 and 1.50. Both tests run on control-point modeling — a crude method flagged by MT4 itself — so treat these figures as directional, not verified.

Key Highlights

• ✅ 85%+ win rate across both backtest runs on XAUUSD M15 — consistent signal direction
• ✅ Backtest profit factor of 1.33–1.50 over a ~10-month test window on $500 and $2,000 starting capital
• ✅ Scalps XAUUSD M15 using up to 5 concurrent trades — controlled basket exposure with hard SL per trade
• ✅ Fixed stop-loss of 450 points and take-profit of 120 points per trade — asymmetric exits managed by 30-point trailing stop
• ✅ Max spread filter (40 points) blocks execution during wide-spread conditions — protects entries that competing EAs ignore
• ✅ Percent-of-deposit lot sizing — position size scales automatically with account balance, not a fixed lot that grows dangerous as equity rises

Performance Results

Backtest 1 — $2,000 Starting Capital (Jun–Nov 2024)

This six-month run on a $2,000 account produced a total net profit of $17,919 across 1,143 trades. The profit factor reached 1.50, and the win rate held at 86.44%. Maximal drawdown reached $2,742 — roughly 20.17% of peak equity.

Backtest 2 — $500 Starting Capital (Jun 2024–Apr 2025)

A longer ~10-month run starting with $500 generated $8,126 net profit across 2,747 trades. The win rate held at 85.26%, with a profit factor of 1.33 and maximal drawdown of 20.51%.

The 20%+ relative drawdown in both tests requires honest disclosure. The EA opens up to 5 simultaneous trades on XAUUSD — during fast gold spikes, the full basket can hit maximum loss simultaneously, which is the specific drawdown mechanism here. Control this by setting Risk to 1.8 or lower, keeping starting capital at $500 minimum, and monitoring open basket exposure during high-impact USD or gold news events. Under these conditions, backtest data suggests a realistic return range of 10–20× over 6–12 months on small accounts — but expect equity dips of 15–20% during adverse gold swings before recovery resumes.

Both backtests use MT4 control-point modeling, flagged by the platform itself as a crude method. Results are directional only and differ from live trading due to slippage, spread variation, and tick interpolation. Run a minimum 60-day demo before deploying live capital. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

How It Works

Strategy: Short-term scalping on XAUUSD M15 — captures small directional moves in gold using a basket of up to 5 trades per cycle.

Entry: Triggers when price moves a defined pip threshold (100 points) within a 5-minute time range, filtered by spread conditions.

Exit: Take-profit at 120 points per trade; trailing stop at 30 points locks in gains on extended moves.

Risk Control: Hard stop-loss at 450 points per trade; max 5 concurrent positions; spread filter blocks entries above 40 points.

✅ Best conditions: Trending gold sessions • Low-spread ECN environment • Stable USD macro backdrop

⚠️ Caution: Major gold news events (CPI, NFP, Fed) • Broker spreads widening above 40 points
