What results can I expect with GhostyFX EA? +

Results vary significantly by capital tier. $100 accounts show 620-6,200% potential with 32% drawdown and 73% win rate based on 3-month backtesting. $1,000+ accounts demonstrate 585-4,888% ranges with 5-10% drawdown and 90% win rates. Performance depends on broker spread quality, VPS uptime, and gold volatility during testing period. Limited 3-month backtest requires extensive demo validation (90+ days minimum) before live deployment due to short proof period.

What makes GhostyFX EA different from other EAs? +

GhostyFX specializes exclusively in XAUUSD M1 scalping rather than multi-pair strategies, executing 17,000+ trades per quarter with 10-second average hold times. The tiered capital system lets you choose between aggressive $100 setups (32% DD, 73% wins) or conservative $1,000+ configs (5% DD, 90% wins). Built-in $20 auto-cutloss and 1-minute cooldown protect against cascade losses during spread spikes, unlike many scalpers lacking position-level guards.

Does GhostyFX EA work on demo accounts? +

Yes, demo testing is mandatory before live use. Run 90+ days on demo to validate broker compatibility, as spread quality and execution speed critically impact M1 scalping. Compare demo results to backtest metrics—if win rate drops below 70% or drawdown exceeds 35%, switch brokers or adjust lot sizing. Demo accounts accurately simulate this EA's behavior since it uses standard market orders without exotic features.

What capital do I need to run this EA safely? +

Minimum tested: $100 with 0.01 lots (high risk—32% drawdown, 73% win rate). Recommended safe: $500-1,000 for 10-15% typical drawdown and 85-90% win rates with better position sizing. Undercapitalization below $100 risks margin calls during consecutive losses, as the EA executed 1,700-3,145 losing trades across backtests. The $20 auto-cutloss requires sufficient margin buffer—below $100 capital can trigger premature exits before recovery setups activate.

What are the main risks and how do I manage them? +

Primary risk is 32% drawdown during $100 minimum capital testing with 0.01 lot aggressive setups, occurring when five consecutive losses hit the $20 auto-cutloss repeatedly during spread spikes. Control by using $500+ capital for 10-15% typical drawdown, setting auto-cutloss to $20 USD, enabling 1-minute trade cooldown between positions, and selecting Conservative preset (limits lot size scaling). With proper capital tier and 40-pip spread filter active, expect 4-7 day recovery periods during normal gold volatility and 85-90% win rates replacing the 73% seen in undercapitalized testing.

Which brokers work best with this EA? +

Requires ECN/STP brokers with <30-pip average spreads on XAUUSD and sub-50ms execution speeds for M1 scalping viability. Recommended: IC Markets, Pepperstone, FBS (tested on IC Markets demo). Avoid market makers with requotes or brokers averaging 40+ pip spreads—the EA's max spread filter (40 pips) will block most trades. Verify broker allows 17,000+ monthly trades without restrictions and provides 1:100+ leverage for $100-500 accounts. Test 30+ days on demo to measure actual spread/slippage before live deployment.

Can I use GhostyFX EA for prop firm challenges? +

Not recommended for most prop challenges. The 32% maximum drawdown exceeds typical 10-15% firm limits, and 17,000+ monthly trades may trigger review flags at firms restricting high-frequency strategies. Conservative $1,000+ setup shows 5-10% DD but limited 3-month backtest insufficient for prop firm confidence requirements. If attempting challenges, use Conservative preset only, demo test 90+ days, and confirm firm allows M1 scalping with no trade frequency caps before funding account.
