RTX Parody EA – XAUUSD Scalping on MT5 with Pyramid + Martingale Hybrid

RTX Parody EA trades XAUUSD on the M15 timeframe using a trend-following entry system combined with pyramiding and martingale averaging. A 4-month backtest on $10,000 capital recorded 116% net profit with a 2.23 profit factor — but equity drawdown reached 65.92%, which defines the core risk decision every buyer must make before purchasing.

Key Highlights

• ✅ Hybrid pyramid + martingale system — adds positions both in profit and in loss simultaneously
• ✅ Backtest profit factor 2.23 across 1,720 trades on XAUUSD M15 (Jan–Apr 2025)
• ✅ EMA trend-filter entry with spread control — rejects entries above 300 points spread

• ✅ Martingale enabled by default — maximum 1,000 averaging positions allowed in settings
• ✅ MT5 platform only — built for Raw Trading Ltd broker environment with 1:100 leverage

This EA uses martingale averaging. Compare safer EA strategies if grid or martingale exposure conflicts with your risk tolerance.

Backtest Performance Results

The primary backtest ran on XAUUSD M15 from January to April 2025 with a $10,000 starting balance. Net profit reached $11,633.67 (116%) across 1,720 trades, with a profit factor of 2.23 and a Sharpe ratio of 4.52. The win rate held at 73.02% across both long and short directions.

A second backtest on a $1,000 starting balance confirmed directional consistency: net profit of $5,534.19 (553%), profit factor of 2.40, and 72.10% win rate across 1,767 trades. Equity drawdown at this smaller capital level reached 86.65% — the lower margin buffer amplifies the martingale stack’s impact on account equity significantly.

Equity drawdown reached 65.92% on the $10,000 test and 86.65% on the $1,000 test. The cause is the martingale averaging stack — consecutive losses trigger position multiplication at a 1.1x lot multiplier with no hard cut-loss enabled by default. Control this by enabling the Cut Loss parameter (default off), capping martingale positions below the 1,000-position maximum, and running on capital of $5,000 or more to provide meaningful margin buffer. Realistic outcomes range from strong compounding in trending markets to near-total equity loss during prolonged reversals. The 0% real tick quality in both backtests means slippage and spread behavior during volatile XAUUSD sessions are not modeled — live results will differ.

Backtest results from January–April 2025 using 0% real tick modeling quality. Slippage, spread spikes, and execution delays are not reflected. Demo validation of 60+ days is required before risking live capital — a 4-month window is insufficient to capture a full XAUUSD drawdown and recovery cycle.

How RTX Parody EA Works

Strategy: Trend-following scalper on XAUUSD M15 — uses a 5-period SMA to identify trend direction and opens in the trend area, exploiting short-term momentum continuation on gold.

Entry: Price enters the SMA trend zone; spread filter rejects entries above 300 points to control execution cost.

Exit: Trailing stop triggers at 300-point profit, locks at 100 points from high water mark; group break-even activates at 200-point profit across open positions.

Risk Control: Pyramiding adds positions every 300 points in profit (1.0x lot multiplier); martingale averages every 350 points in loss (1.1x multiplier) — both active by default with no hard cut-loss.

✅ Best conditions: Trending XAUUSD sessions • Low-spread ECN execution • Account equity above $5,000

⚠️ Caution: Choppy or ranging gold markets • Low-margin accounts below $2,000 • News volatility spikes
