EA Kick Off v1.61 MT4 with Setfiles

EA Kick Off – Time-Based Gold and EURUSD Scalper for MT4

EA Kick Off is an MT4 Expert Advisor built around time-based session-window entries, tested on XAUUSD H1 and EURUSD M15. The available performance evidence includes two MT4 strategy tester backtests and a single-day trade history screenshot. Public live verification through Myfxbook, FXBlue, or MQL5 Signal is not included on this page at this time — all proof shown here should be evaluated as backtest and screenshot-level evidence.

Key Highlights

• ✅ MT4 Expert Advisor — version v1.61_fix and v1.1D_fix included
• ✅ Runs on XAUUSD H1 and EURUSD M15 with matched setfiles; GBPUSD setfile also included
• ✅ Configurable day filters — skips Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday by default
• ✅ Layered recovery system: LotMulti 1.45, MaxLayer 20, PipDistance 150 — review before sizing positions
• ✅ VPS required for reliable session-timed entries; ECN or raw-spread broker recommended

Performance Results

The primary evidence consists of two MT4 strategy tester backtests. The EURUSD M15 backtest ran from March 2 to October 10, 2024, on a $1,000 starting deposit. It produced $2,373 net profit, a 2.32 profit factor, a 62.07% win rate across 87 trades, and a maximal drawdown of $758 (27.70%).

The XAUUSD H1 backtest covered January 4 to June 28, 2024, showing $1,316 net profit, a 1.83 profit factor, a combined win rate near 72%, and a maximal drawdown of 18.01%. This test used the Control Points model, which MT4 flags as a rough approximation — treat this result with less confidence than the EURUSD backtest.

A single-day XAUUSDm trade history from October 7, 2024, is also included. It shows 12 trades at 0.01 lots on a $47 balance. This confirms the EA’s execution style but covers one session only and does not substitute for ongoing live verification.

The 27.70% maximal drawdown on EURUSD is the most important risk figure to evaluate before sizing positions. It was produced at 0.01 base lots on a $1,000 account using up to 20 martingale layers at a 1.45 multiplier. In the XAUUSD backtest, a six-layer losing sequence produced a single drawdown event of $77.18 — at larger lot sizes, that figure scales directly.

Manage drawdown exposure by starting at 0.01 lots on accounts of $1,000 or more, reducing MaxLayer to 10, using a low-spread ECN broker, and running at least 60–90 days on demo before going live. The proof shown here should be treated as backtest and screenshot evidence, not public live verification. We recommend demo validation before live use.

How It Works

Strategy: Time-based entry logic on XAUUSD H1 and EURUSD M15, targeting short-duration price moves at specific session windows. The EA skips Monday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday by default, concentrating exposure on Tuesday through Thursday sessions.

Entry: Session time trigger combined with an optional volume confirmation filter (EnableVolumeCheck). Entry timing is seeded at a configurable KickOff time. Exact entry signal logic is not fully specified in the available materials — validate entry behavior across multiple weeks in demo before live use.

Exit: Primary exit targets TradeProfit at 95 pips. Trailing stop activates at 40 pips with a 20-pip step. If price moves against the position, the EA opens additional layers at 150-pip (PipDistance) spacing.

Risk Control: Base lot 0.01, with a 1.45 multiplier per recovery layer and a maximum of 20 layers by default. Reducing MaxLayer to 10 meaningfully limits worst-case open exposure. No fixed stop loss is confirmed in the available parameters — grid and martingale behavior must be verified in demo before live deployment.

✅ Best conditions: Low-spread ECN or raw account • Tuesday–Thursday sessions on XAUUSD H1 or EURUSD M15 • VPS with stable connection for time-triggered entries.

⚠️ Caution: High-volatility news events during active layers • Accounts below $1,000 at default lot sizes • Brokers with wide or variable spreads on XAUUSD.

Technical Specifications

Who Should Use This EA

✅ Ideal for:

• Traders comfortable with martingale-style layer recovery who understand the drawdown risk before opening the first trade
• XAUUSD or EURUSD-focused MT4 traders with $1,000 or more and access to a low-spread ECN or raw account
• Traders who can run a VPS, monitor open layers during active sessions, and adjust MaxLayer to match their risk tolerance

✅ Best results when:

• Running on Tuesday–Thursday sessions with spreads consistently below the documented thresholds for the active pair
• MaxLayer is reduced from 20 to 10 and lot size is calibrated against account equity before live deployment

This EA is not ideal for traders seeking confirmed live performance history, a no-martingale structure, or deposit flexibility below $1,000. Browse other Forex EA options if those requirements apply to you.
