Strike Gold EA MT5 v1.30 + Setfiles

Strike Gold EA – Automated XAUUSD Trading Robot for MetaTrader 5

Strike Gold EA is an automated MetaTrader 5 expert advisor built exclusively for XAUUSD (Gold). It runs a proprietary algorithm that evaluates price behavior, momentum, volatility, and market structure before opening and managing trades on its own.

Two MT5 Strategy Tester backtests published on the official marketplace listing show profit factors of 9.60 and 1.76 across two separate test periods, with drawdown levels that differ sharply between the two runs.

This page covers the v1.30 configuration of Strike Gold EA; the current MQL5 marketplace listing shows a later v3.2 build.

⚡ Key Highlights

• ⚙️ Trades XAUUSD exclusively on MT5 using a proprietary algorithm built around price action, momentum, volatility, and market structure.
• 📈 Two published MT5 Strategy Tester backtests, both at 100% history quality, show profit factors of 9.60 and 1.76 across different deposit sizes and periods.
• 🛡️ Default risk-based position sizing at 1% per trade, with an optional fixed 0.01-lot mode and automatic break-even protection.
• ⚠️ The longer 2025 backtest recorded a maximum equity drawdown of 42.13% (61.38% relative), well above the shorter test’s 14.98%.
• 🖥️ Uses a fixed 10-point slippage allowance and a dedicated magic number (2021) to separate its trades from other activity on the account.
• 🎯 This settings configuration corresponds to v1.30; the official MQL5 marketplace listing currently lists v3.2, so confirm which build you are running.

📊 Performance Results

The strongest available performance evidence comes from two MT5 Strategy Tester backtests displayed on the official MQL5 marketplace listing for Strike Gold, both run at 100% history quality with the backtest server identified as BlackBull Markets.

The shorter test covers January-February 2026 on a $300 initial deposit. It closed 18 trades with an 83.33% win rate, a profit factor of 9.60, and net profit of $3,654.75. Maximum balance drawdown reached 14.12%, and maximum equity drawdown reached 14.98%.

The second test covers the full 2025 calendar year on a $3,000 initial deposit. It closed 94 trades with a 73.40% win rate, a profit factor of 1.76, and net profit of $147,103.91. This test carried materially higher risk: maximum balance drawdown reached 40.42% and maximum equity drawdown reached 42.13%, with relative equity drawdown of 61.38%.

A drawdown near or above 40% on the tested deposit means a trader running similar risk settings should expect a comparable percentage swing on a live account under the same market conditions. Funding the account well above the tested minimum, or reducing the risk-percent setting, is the practical way to absorb a drawdown of that size without a margin call. Both reports are Strategy Tester backtests published on the product listing rather than independently monitored live results, so treat them as historical simulation evidence, not verified live performance. Backtest results can differ from live results because of spread, slippage, data, and execution.

⚙️ How It Works

Strategy: Strike Gold EA runs a proprietary algorithm that evaluates Gold price behavior, momentum, volatility, and market structure before opening and managing trades automatically. The exact indicator logic behind these signals is not publicly disclosed.

Entry: Entry triggers are not published in detail on the official listing. The EA is built exclusively for XAUUSD and analyzes multiple price-based factors before executing a trade.

Position / Grid Management: The documented settings show risk-based or fixed-lot position sizing with a single magic number per trade set. Some third-party sources describe additional averaging or pending-order behavior for this EA, but that is not confirmed by the official product listing. Treat any grid- or martingale-style claims as unverified until you test the actual package you receive.

Exit: Trades are closed through stop-loss, take-profit, and an automatic break-even feature that moves the stop once a trade reaches sufficient profit, using a documented buffer setting of 2 points in the supplied configuration. Exact stop-loss and take-profit distances are not published.

Risk Control: The supplied settings default to risk-based sizing at 1% of account equity per trade (UseRiskPercent = true, InpRiskPercent = 1.0), with an optional fixed-lot mode set to 0.01 lots. Slippage is capped at 10 points, and a fixed magic number (2021) keeps this EA’s trades separate from other automated or manual positions on the same account.

Best Conditions: The EA is designed exclusively for XAUUSD. Reseller documentation recommends an ECN or raw-spread account with 1:50 or higher leverage; treat this as a recommendation rather than a strict platform requirement.

Caution: The backtests shown above were produced on the current MQL5 marketplace build (version 3.2), while this settings configuration corresponds to version 1.30. Confirm which version and set file you are running before comparing live results to the published tests.

🧩 Technical Specifications

🎯 Who Should Use This EA

Ideal for:

• Traders who want automation focused solely on Gold rather than a multi-pair portfolio.
• Traders comfortable with risk-based position sizing who actively monitor drawdown rather than set-and-forget the account.
• Traders already using or willing to open an ECN-style low-spread account for Gold execution.

Best results when:

• The account is funded well above the tested minimum, given the 40%+ drawdown recorded in the longer backtest.
• The broker offers low spread and fast execution on XAUUSD, matching the EA’s fixed 10-point slippage setting.

Not ideal for: traders who require a verified public live track record before purchase, or those unable to tolerate an account drawdown above 40% during a stress period.
