Adaptive Gold Scalper EA MT5 v2.2 + Setfiles

Adaptive Gold Scalper MT5 – XAUUSD Breakout Scalping EA for MetaTrader 5

Adaptive Gold Scalper MT5 is a MetaTrader 5 expert advisor built by developer Fan Yang for trading gold (XAUUSD) on the H1 chart. It runs short, fast breakout trades, with public signal accounts showing average holding times of 16 to 38 seconds.

A public MQL5 Signal running the EA on an Amillex account shows 187.06% growth over 49 weeks on a $1,000 starting balance. A second public signal on Vantage shows 110% growth over 8 weeks with a 2.00 profit factor.

⚡ Key Highlights

• ⚙️ Ultra-short-cycle XAUUSD breakout scalper; public signal accounts show average trade duration between 16 and 38 seconds.
• 📈 A public MQL5 Signal (Amillex broker) recorded 187.06% growth over 49 weeks on a $1,000 account, with 264 trades and 78.78% winning trades.
• ⚠️ The same Amillex signal shows a 50.72% balance drawdown and a 92.43% maximum deposit load, meaning the account committed most of its equity to open margin at peak exposure.
• 🛡️ The developer states the EA does not use grid or martingale sizing and relies on real stop-loss and take-profit levels; this is a developer claim, not an independently audited finding.
• 🖥️ The developer requires an ECN or RAW-spread broker with spread below 10 pips and execution delay under 50ms, and recommends VPS hosting to reduce slippage.
• 🔄 This package delivers version 2.2 (plus a legacy 1.9 file); the current MQL5 marketplace listing is version 2.3, so feature parity with the newest release is not guaranteed.

📊 Performance Results

The strongest available evidence is a public MQL5 Signal titled “AGS Default Set High Risk H1,” running on an Amillex account since 2025. Over 49 weeks it shows 187.06% growth on a $1,000 initial deposit, $86,614.69 profit, 264 trades, and a 78.78% winning-trade rate, with an average hold time of 18 seconds. The signal page itself notes that the trading style changed at some point and that part of the trading history is excluded from these statistics, so the full track record is not fully continuous.

A separate public signal, “AGS Dft Set Vantage Test,” runs on a Vantage 1:500 account and shows 110% growth over 8 weeks, 68 trades, 83.82% winning trades, a profit factor of 2.00, and a recovery factor of 2.01. This is a shorter, smaller sample on a different broker, and it adds independent confirmation that the EA can perform on more than one execution environment, though the growth rate and trade count are far smaller than the Amillex account.

The most important risk figure is the Amillex account’s 50.72% balance drawdown combined with a 92.43% maximum deposit load. A drawdown above 40% means an account funded near the developer’s suggested $500 minimum could see more than half its balance erased before recovery, and a deposit load above 90% leaves very little margin buffer for further adverse price movement. The Vantage account’s 85.89% maximum deposit load shows the same pattern at smaller scale. Both signals carry MQL5 warnings about negative slippage risk for subscribers copying the trades in real time. These are public MQL5 Signal accounts operated by the developer; past performance does not guarantee future results.

⚙️ How It Works

Strategy: The developer describes the EA as an ultra-short-cycle XAUUSD scalper combining breakout logic, probabilistic analysis, and technical filters, including trend lines, moving averages, and support/resistance zones.

Entry: The supplied settings panel shows a high-frequency algorithm mode and a pending-order trade mode with a 7-day order expiry and a 5000-point order price gap, indicating entries are triggered through pending orders placed ahead of the current price rather than instant market fills.

Position / Grid Management: The supplied preset uses fixed-lot sizing (0.1 lots) with a base deposit load of 5% and a maximum deposit load cap of 80%. The developer states the EA does not use grid or martingale position sizing; this remains a developer claim rather than an independently verified code audit.

Exit: The supplied settings show a take profit of 10,000 points and a stop loss of 400 points, alongside an enabled trailing stop with a 20-point trailing distance and a smart trailing mode. High-profit trailing mode is disabled in this preset.

Risk Control: The maximum deposit load setting is designed to cap margin usage, but public signal accounts have still reached deposit loads above 85-92% at peak exposure. Version 2.2 reportedly added a news filter and an automatic Friday close-all routine, according to the MQL5 update log.

Best Conditions: The developer specifies XAUUSD on the H1 chart, an ECN or RAW-spread account with spread under 10 pips, a stop level near zero, execution delay below 50ms, and leverage between 1:100 and 1:1000.

Caution: MQL5 buyer comments describe cases where live results diverged from backtest results and one demo test reportedly lost around 30%. The developer attributes such gaps mainly to broker execution quality, spread, and latency rather than the strategy logic itself.

🧩 Technical Specifications

🎯 Who Should Use This EA

Ideal for:

• Traders who already run XAUUSD accounts on ECN or RAW-spread brokers with low-latency execution.
• Traders comfortable monitoring a high-frequency scalper that opens and closes trades within seconds.
• Traders who can accept drawdowns exceeding 50% and deposit loads above 85% on the public signal evidence available.

Best results when:

• Broker spread stays under 10 pips with a stop level near zero, matching the developer’s stated requirements.
• The EA is run on XAUUSD H1 through a VPS to minimize latency and slippage.

Not ideal for: traders seeking a low-drawdown, low-maintenance system, or traders without access to a tested ECN broker and VPS setup.
