ArtQuant Gold EA MT5 v3.2 + Setfiles

ArtQuant Gold – Grid-Based XAUUSD Trading EA for MetaTrader 5

ArtQuant Gold is a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor built exclusively for XAUUSD, using a grid-based, multi-module portfolio engine developed by Miguel Angel Vico Alba. A public MQL5 reference signal has posted 56.53% growth over roughly eight weeks across 347 trades, with a 3.31 profit factor. This store’s package delivers both the v3.2 and v3.0 builds along with broker-specific setfiles.

⚡ Key Highlights

• ⚙️ Trades XAUUSD only on MT5 through a grid-based, multi-module engine supporting up to 20 configurable modules.
• 📈 Public MQL5 signal shows 56.53% growth, 347 trades, 79.82% win rate, and a 3.31 profit factor over an 8-week track record.
• 🛡️ Includes exposure caps, daily/floating loss limits, and a Cycle Guard control, though the supplied settings screenshot shows several of these disabled by default.
• ⚠️ Grid/multi-position structure can produce floating drawdown well above balance drawdown during strong directional moves.
• 🖥️ Uses virtual SL/TP/trailing management rather than broker-side orders, making continuous VPS uptime important.
• 📦 Package includes v3.2 and v3.0 executable builds plus Vantage, VT Markets, and IC Markets setfiles.

📊 Performance Results

The strongest available proof is the public MQL5 signal for ArtQuant Gold, monitored on the developer’s own account with broker ICMarketsSC-MT5-3 at 1:500 leverage. Over roughly eight weeks and 347 trades, the account grew 56.53% from a €1,000 initial deposit, with a 79.82% win rate, 3.31 profit factor, and 6.17% maximum balance drawdown. This is a young, short-duration live record rather than a long-term history, and the signal page has also displayed a copying-risk warning tied to trade frequency.

A separate strategy-tester screenshot, sourced from a third-party reseller page, shows an earlier v2.4 build tested on IC Markets (RAW) data from 2018 to 2026, starting from a $10,000 deposit and reaching $5.91 million, with a 6.11 profit factor, 4,262 trades, and 78.32% profitable trades. This is a backtest for an older version than the builds included in this package, and the source itself labels the result a theoretical projection rather than a guarantee.

The most important number on the live signal is the gap between balance drawdown (6.17%) and equity drawdown (26.72%). Because the strategy holds multiple positions per grid cycle, floating losses on open positions can run far deeper than what shows up once trades are closed and booked to balance. Independent third-party analysis has also classified this exposure style as carrying no fixed ceiling on potential loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results, and backtest results can differ from live results because of spread, slippage, data, and execution.

⚙️ How It Works

Strategy: ArtQuant Gold runs a portfolio of up to 20 independent modules, each capable of managing several positions during one trading cycle. Internal entry logic, indicators, and formulas are proprietary and not disclosed on the official product page.

Entry: The EA is described as timeframe-independent; the settings panel notes that chart timeframe does not affect the internal logic. Specific entry triggers are not exposed in the commercial interface.

Position / Grid Management: The system is confirmed as a grid-based, multi-position structure. The supplied settings screenshot shows a base lot of 0.01 per module with lot scaling tied to a $1,000 balance step, plus module-level and account-level exposure caps that were both set to 0 (no cap) in that configuration. A separate reseller description characterizes the sizing as non-martingale, but this is not stated as clearly on the primary product page, so it should be treated as a qualified claim rather than a confirmed fact.

Exit: Positions are closed using virtual Take Profit, Stop Loss, and Trailing Stop levels rather than broker-side orders. This makes uninterrupted MT5 and VPS operation important, since these exits stop working if the terminal disconnects.

Risk Control: The EA offers a Cycle Guard, daily EA loss limit, floating loss limit, and drawdown protection mode. In the supplied settings screenshot, drawdown protection is set to Off and both the daily and floating loss limits are set to 0.0 (disabled). These controls exist but are not active by default in that configuration, so enabling and tuning them is left to the trader.

Best Conditions: Low-spread ECN/RAW execution is recommended, with the sampled settings capping entry spread and slippage at 50 points each. A hedging-enabled MT5 account and continuous VPS hosting support the virtual trade management this EA relies on.

Caution: Grid exposure can create prolonged floating drawdown during strong directional Gold moves, and the news filter is disabled during Strategy Tester runs, so backtests will not reproduce live news-filter behavior.

🧩 Technical Specifications

🎯 Who Should Use This EA

Ideal for:

• Traders who want a dedicated XAUUSD grid strategy on MT5 with configurable module and exposure settings.
• Traders comfortable tracking floating equity drawdown, not just balance drawdown, during open cycles.
• Traders who can run continuous VPS hosting, since exits depend on the EA’s virtual SL/TP/trailing management.
• Traders with a hedging-enabled MT5 account at an ECN/RAW low-spread broker.

Best results when:

• Exposure caps, daily loss limits, and floating loss limits are actively configured rather than left at the disabled defaults shown in the sampled settings.
• A broker-matched setfile (Vantage, VT Markets, or IC Markets) is used with the corresponding broker’s execution conditions.

Not ideal for: prop-firm evaluation accounts, since the developer states this grid structure is not recommended for most prop-firm challenges due to floating drawdown risk.
