GOLD BREAKOUTS EA MT5 + Setfiles

Gold Breakouts EA MT5 – XAUUSD Breakout Trading on MetaTrader 5

Gold Breakouts EA MT5 is a breakout-focused Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5, built exclusively for XAUUSD trading on the M5 timeframe. Two separate backtests show profit factors between 2.74 and 2.98, though both were run at 0% real tick modeling quality. No verified live account from Myfxbook, FXBlue, or MQL5 Signals has been located — buyers should treat all performance figures as backtest only.

Key Highlights

• ✅ XAUUSD-only focus on M5 — not a multi-pair generalist
• ✅ Six pre-built set files covering 1% to 5% risk per trade
• ✅ Buyer-adjustable settings: ProfileMode, UseRiskPercent, RiskPercent
• ✅ MetaTrader 5 (.ex5 file) — compatible with ECN and STP brokers
• ✅ No martingale or aggressive recovery claimed by vendor — not independently verified

Performance Results

Two backtests are documented for Gold Breakouts EA MT5, both on XAUUSD M5.

The first covers October 2025 to February 2026 with a $2,000 initial deposit, producing a net profit of $27,079.97, a profit factor of 2.98, and a maximum equity drawdown of 36.31%. The second covers January to March 2026 with a $1,000 deposit, producing a net profit of $1,511.79, a profit factor of 2.74, and a maximum equity drawdown of 9.69%. Differences between the two tests reflect starting capital, risk settings, and test duration — not conflicting results.

The critical limitation across both tests is 0% real tick modeling quality. Neither backtest used actual historical tick data — both relied on modeled price movement. For a breakout system, entry timing and spread conditions at the moment of the breakout directly affect whether a trade is profitable. Results from 0% tick quality testing can differ materially from live execution.

The 36.31% maximum equity drawdown in the first backtest means equity fell by over $3,100 at its worst point on a $2,000 account. Live drawdown is unknown and could be lower or higher. Running the EA at 1% risk per trade, using an ECN or STP broker with tight XAUUSD spreads, and completing a minimum 90-day demo test are the recommended steps before committing live capital.

⚠️ All performance figures are from backtests run at 0% real tick modeling quality. Results may differ significantly from live trading due to spread variation, slippage, and execution differences. No independently verified live account has been located. Extensive demo testing is required before live use.

How It Works

Strategy: Detects XAUUSD price movements beyond defined range boundaries on M5, using entry filters and volatility-based conditions to distinguish valid breakouts from false breaks.

Entry: Breakout trigger at a defined price level with confirmation filters applied before execution. Exact indicator inputs and filter thresholds are not fully disclosed in available documentation.

Exit: Trailing logic is listed as a component. Fixed stop loss and take profit levels are not separately documented — exact exit mechanics are not fully disclosed.

Risk Control: Profile-based risk modes with percentage-based lot sizing. Default setting is RiskPercent 1.0 with ProfileMode LOW. Fixed lot option (0.2) also available. Six pre-built set files cover 1% to 5% risk per trade.

✅ Best conditions: Active XAUUSD volatility • Clean breakout price action • Low-spread ECN/STP execution

⚠️ Caution: Choppy or ranging gold markets • High-spread broker environments • News spikes on XAUUSD
