RTX Parody EA – XAUUSD Scalping Robot for MT5 with Pyramid + Martingale Grid

RTX Parody EA is a trend-following grid scalper built for XAUUSD M15 on MetaTrader 5, combining pyramid scaling with Martingale position recovery. Two backtests on $1,000 and $10,000 deposits (January–April 2025) recorded profit factors of 2.40 and 2.23 — but equity drawdowns reached 86.65% and 65.92% respectively, which defines the risk profile before you read further.

Key Highlights

• ✅ Pyramid + Martingale grid on XAUUSD captures extended gold trends while scaling into momentum — rare combined architecture
• ✅ Profit factor 2.23–2.40 across two deposit levels in Jan–Apr 2025 backtest data
• ✅ EMA-5 Trend Area Mode entry filters trades to directional setups on M15 XAUUSD
• ✅ Group Break-Even Protection + trailing stop close all positions at a defined profit lock — limits runaway drawdown
• ✅ Panic Mode threshold triggers emergency position closure — a hard circuit breaker most grid EAs omit
• ✅ Max lot cap (0.10) and max Martingale order limit prevent infinite position stacking during adverse moves

This EA uses Martingale and grid mechanics — strategies with compounding loss potential. Compare EA strategies before deciding.

Performance Results

Backtest 1 — $10,000 Deposit (Jan–Apr 2025)

On a $10,000 starting balance, RTX Parody recorded $11,633.67 net profit over 1,720 trades across four months. The profit factor reached 2.23, with a 76.64% long win rate and a Sharpe ratio of 4.52. Balance drawdown stayed at 10.18% — but equity drawdown peaked at 65.92%, meaning open floating losses consumed over two-thirds of account equity during the worst sequence.

Backtest 2 — $1,000 Deposit (Jan–Apr 2025)

The $1,000 deposit run produced $5,534.19 net profit with a profit factor of 2.40 and a Sharpe ratio of 8.15. The higher Sharpe reflects tighter position sizing at lower capital, but equity drawdown reached 86.65% — the margin level fell to 17.79%, a near-margin-call scenario during peak adverse runs.

Risk disclosure — read before proceeding. Both backtests used 0% real tick data, which means slippage, spread spikes, and broker execution gaps are not reflected in these numbers. Equity drawdown reaching 65–86% stems directly from the Martingale multiplier (1.1×) stacking up to 1,000 orders during counter-trend moves on volatile XAUUSD. To operate responsibly: cap Martingale orders below the default maximum, set InpMaxLotSize to the lowest viable value for your deposit, and monitor open equity — not just balance — daily. Under normal trending conditions, the Group Break-Even Protection and Panic Mode threshold historically contained losses before full account depletion; under choppy, rangebound gold markets, neither mechanism prevents extended drawdown. Realistic outcomes range from strong month-on-month compounding in trending periods to 40–70%+ floating loss during prolonged reversals. Do not deploy live capital without minimum 90 days of demo testing.

Backtest data covers Jan–Apr 2025 with 0% real tick modeling. Live spread, slippage, and swap costs will alter results. Demo validation required 90+ days before live deployment. Past backtest results do not guarantee future live performance.

How It Works

Strategy: EMA-5 Trend Area Mode on XAUUSD M15 — enters in the direction of short-term trend momentum, then scales positions as price extends.

Entry: EMA-5 crossover with Trend Area Mode confirmation on close price triggers new position at 0.01 initial lot.

Exit: Trailing stop (300-point trigger, 100-point distance) closes all positions simultaneously on hit; Group Break-Even Protection locks at 200 points profit.

Risk Control: Max lot capped at 0.10; Martingale multiplier 1.1× at 350-point spacing; Panic Mode closes all at threshold 5; spread filter rejects entries above 300 points.

✅ Best conditions: Trending XAUUSD sessions • Clear directional momentum on M15 • Spread below 300 points

⚠️ Caution: Choppy or rangebound gold markets • High-volatility news events (NFP, CPI, Fed decisions)
