Alpha ATM Bot EA MT5 + Setfiles

Alpha ATM Bot – Automated XAUUSD Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5

Alpha ATM Bot is an automated MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor that trades XAUUSD using a MACD-based (DCAM) entry filter combined with lot-scaling position management and hedging. It is sold under the Alpha Tactical Machine brand from Alpha Edge Traders, whose linked public Myfxbook account shows a live automated system with a +2,207.35% gain since inception. This page explains exactly what this store delivers, how the EA opens and manages trades, and the drawdown risk you need to accept before running it live.

⚡ Key Highlights

• ⚙️ Trades XAUUSD using a DCAM/MACD filter (12, 26, 9) combined with lot-scaling entries, a group take-profit, and hedging.
• 📈 A public Myfxbook account linked to the developer shows +2,207.35% gain, 25.53% average monthly gain, and 67,106 recorded trades.
• 🛡️ The same public account shows a 62.37% maximum drawdown, so capital allocation must account for large equity swings.
• 🔄 The settings shown on the product page apply a 1.5x lot multiplier across up to 5 positions spaced 200 points apart, which increases exposure during adverse moves.
• 🖥️ The public account runs on a cent account with EXNESS at 1:2000 leverage, a configuration that differs from typical standard-account setups.
• ⚠️ Independent reviews of the developer describe mixed outcomes for the ATM bot, including reports of profitable use alongside reports of drawdown-related losses.

📊 Performance Results

The strongest available evidence is the public Myfxbook account “(ATM) Alpha Tactical Machine,” listed under AlphaEdge892 as a Real USC Cent account on EXNESS with 1:2000 leverage on MT5. As last updated, it showed a gain of +2,207.35%, an absolute gain of +502.26%, a 25.53% average monthly gain, balance of USC120,626.01, and deposits/withdrawals of USC2,257,309.31 / USC2,147,094.00. This account is linked from the developer’s brand page, but it does not by itself confirm that this exact reseller package or setfile produced the same trade history.

Advanced statistics on the same account record a 1.44 profit factor across 67,106 trades, with long trades winning 79% and short trades winning 78%. Average trade length was 1 hour 3 minutes, and the worst single trade lost USC334,285. Because the account is denominated in US cents, its raw balance figures are roughly 100 times larger than the equivalent USD value, so compare it on percentage terms, not headline currency amounts.

Separately, a supplied MT5 Strategy Tester report on XAUUSD M1 recorded 673 trades, an 85.74% win rate, a 1.12 profit factor, and a 1.56 recovery factor, with maximum balance drawdown of 13.44% and maximum equity drawdown of 13.89%. This is historical backtest evidence from a specific test period and setting, not the same evidence set as the public live account, and it should not be read as confirming the same result on your own broker feed.

The 62.37% drawdown on the public account is the single most important risk figure here. It sits well above what most retail traders would accept on a live account and reflects a system that can carry substantial floating losses before recovering, consistent with the multi-position, lot-multiplied structure described below. If you run this EA, size the initial lot and maximum position count to your actual capital, not to the backtest’s $10,000 test deposit, and monitor margin during volatile gold sessions. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

⚙️ How It Works

Strategy: The EA runs in “ATM Mode,” using a MACD-based filter (DCAM, 12/26/9 on close price) to time entries on XAUUSD.

Entry: Trades open in both directions (Trade Mode: Both) when the MACD/DCAM condition is met; in the supplied settings the EA is active across the full trading day (00:00–23:59).

Position / Grid Management: The displayed configuration opens an initial 0.1 lot and scales subsequent entries by a 1.5x multiplier, spaced 200 points apart, up to a maximum of 5 positions and 2.0 lots per position. This is a lot-scaling, averaging-style structure: each additional position increases total exposure if price keeps moving against the basket. Hedging is enabled with a 400-point gap, meaning the EA can open an opposite-direction position after adverse movement; account-level hedging is disabled in this configuration.

Exit: Positions in a basket close together once a 100-point group take-profit target is reached, and the EA can also close on the DCAM signal when that signal shows a profit. A trailing stop is enabled in the supplied settings, starting at 200 points and stepping by 60 points.

Risk Control: Daily profit target and maximum daily drawdown limits are enabled in this configuration. The news filter is disabled in the supplied settings, even though the EA includes a built-in news calendar and alert module.

Best Conditions: The EA is built primarily around XAUUSD on the M1 timeframe, where its documented tester and live evidence was generated.

Caution: The lot-multiplier and multi-position structure means floating losses can grow quickly during a sustained move against an open basket. The 62.37% drawdown seen on the public account is consistent with this behavior and should shape your position sizing before going live.

🧩 Technical Specifications

🎯 Who Should Use This EA

Ideal for:

• Traders comfortable running an automated XAUUSD system that opens multiple scaled positions per basket.
• Traders able to monitor margin usage, since exposure increases as the lot-multiplier adds positions during adverse moves.
• Traders willing to test on a demo or small/cent account before allocating meaningful capital.

Best results when:

• Running on a stable, low-latency connection given the M1 execution timeframe.
• Initial lot, multiplier, and maximum position count are adjusted to actual account size rather than left at default values.

Not ideal for: traders who require a single-position, fixed-stop-loss system, or who cannot tolerate drawdowns in the range seen on the public account (62.37%).
