Osa Scalper Pips EA – XAUUSD M5 Scalper for MT4

Osa Scalper Pips EA is an M5 scalping expert advisor for XAUUSD on MT4, using MACD and an OSA_ITrend filter to capture short-term gold price moves.

Backtested over 5.5 months on a demo account, it recorded 97.96% win rate across 9,011 trades — but modeling quality is unverified, and results must not be treated as live performance.

Key Highlights

• ✅ MACD + OSA_ITrend dual-filter entry reduces false signals on volatile gold moves
• ✅ Backtest recorded 1.84% max drawdown across 9,011 trades — low capital stress in test conditions
• ✅ Scalps XAUUSD M5 using trailing stop, profit lock, and linear TP for adaptive exits
• ✅ Trailing stop activates at 40 pips; LockProfit at 35 pips protects open gains automatically
• ✅ Backtest used “control points” model — below 99% quality standard; demo validation is mandatory before live use

Unlike many XAUUSD scalpers that publish only profit factor without trade count, this page discloses the full backtest methodology — including its limits. Compare EA strategies

Backtest Performance Results

The $100 deposit backtest ran from October 2025 to March 2026 across 9,011 XAUUSD M5 trades. Net profit reached $11,107 on a $100 base, with a profit factor of 34.70 and maximal drawdown of just 1.84%. A second run starting at $500 produced near-identical results: 9,011 trades, 97.95% win rate, profit factor 34.54, and max drawdown 1.83%.

⚠️ Critical disclosure: Both backtests used the “control points” method — MetaTrader’s own report flags this as a crude model whose results must not be considered reliable. The SL_Pip is set to 10,000, meaning no hard stop-loss protects individual trades in this configuration. A single adverse XAUUSD spike can produce losses far exceeding the average profit per trade of $1.30. Set a broker-side hard stop, start at 0.01 lots on $500+, and monitor the Max_Order cap of 200 closely during news events. Realistic outcomes under live conditions — including spread and slippage on gold — are unknown until forward-tested.

Backtest results are based on control-point modeling, which MetaTrader classifies as unreliable. No live or Myfxbook-verified signal exists. Run a minimum 90-day demo on a real-spread account before risking any capital.

How It Works

Strategy: M5 XAUUSD scalper exploiting short-term momentum shifts using MACD crossovers confirmed by OSA_ITrend filter on M1 — filters noise on volatile gold pairs.

Entry: MACD signal (8/13/5 settings) confirmed by OSA_ITrend M1 filter; Pinbar fallback triggers if no signal present.

Exit: Linear TP at 100 pips; trailing stop engages at 40 pips and locks profit from 35 pips onward.

Risk Control: Fixed 0.01 lots, 5% risk parameter, Max_Order cap of 200; no functional hard SL in default config — broker-side stop required.

✅ Best conditions: Low-spread ECN broker on XAUUSD • Stable trending or ranging gold sessions • VPS with low latency to broker

⚠️ Caution: High-impact news events (NFP, CPI, Fed) • Brokers with variable spread spikes above 3 pips on gold
