XAU Breakout Scalper MT5: Official Optimization Blueprint
XAU Breakout Scalper MT5: A Professional Dual-Strategy EA for Gold
XAU Breakout Scalper MT5 is an advanced Expert Advisor for traders who demand a research-driven approach to the XAUUSD market. It employs two distinct breakout strategies, developed through quantitative analysis, to identify and act on high-probability setups.
This EA is built on a core philosophy of disciplined trading. It focuses exclusively on logical, structured entries and does not use high-risk methods like grid or martingale.
Key Features at a Glance
-
Dual-Strategy Engine: Run two independent, fully customizable trading strategies simultaneously—a SuperTrend-based scalper and a ZigZag-based breakout system.
-
Advanced Filtering Suite: Refine your entries with a powerful combination of filters, including a Triple Moving Average cascade, Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), and the Average Directional Index (ADX).
-
Comprehensive Money Management: Choose from multiple risk models (Fixed Lot, % of Balance, Fixed Monetary Risk). Includes a unique Dynamic Drawdown Mode for managing accounts with strict drawdown limits and an AutoScale Volume feature that adjusts lot size based on market volatility.
-
Intelligent Trade Management: Utilizes smart pending orders, ATR-based trailing stops, and a crucial Pre-Trigger Validation feature that re-checks all filter conditions moments before entry, preventing trades in unfavorable conditions.
-
Full Session Control: Precisely define your trading hours, including an early close on Fridays, to avoid unpredictable market conditions.
-
Interactive On-Chart Dashboard: Monitor every aspect of the EA in real-time, including strategy performance, active filters, P/L, and account equity, with full control to start or stop trading.
The Two Strategies
-
Strategy 1: SuperTrend Precision Scalper (S1)
This strategy uses a custom SuperTrend indicator to identify short-term trends. It dynamically targets breakouts beyond recent swing points and features an optional higher-timeframe (HTF) SuperTrend filter for enhanced trend confirmation. -
Strategy 2: ZigZag Breakout Specialist (S2)
This strategy uses the classic ZigZag indicator to pinpoint significant market structure points. It is designed to enter on breakouts beyond these key price levels, with a strategic stop loss placed at the opposing swing point.
User Control and Responsibility
XAU Breakout Scalper MT5 is a professional trading framework, not a "plug-and-play" solution. Its default settings are optimized for XAUUSD on the H1 timeframe but achieving peak performance requires your active involvement.
-
Versatility: While designed for Gold, the EA's robust logic and extensive customization mean it can be adapted to other volatile instruments like indices (US500, NAS100) or major currency pairs.
-
Optimization is Key: Users are expected to conduct their own thorough backtesting and optimization to align the EA's parameters with their chosen instrument, timeframe, and risk tolerance. Your settings define your edge.
Disclaimer: Past performance of XAU Breakout Scalper MT5, or any trading system, is not indicative of future results. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. The Expert Advisor's performance depends on the user's settings, broker conditions, market volatility, and other factors beyond the developer's control. All trading decisions are your own responsibility. The purchase and use of this Expert Advisor imply that you understand and accept these risks.
WAITING FOR A SIGN? THIS IS IT: BUY THIS EA! IMPORTANT: Don't just download the demo and assume the default settings are sufficient. Take the time to go through the detailed information that Yassir has provided and learn how to optimize it properly and professionally. Yassir, the mad professor, has developed something truly fantastic. There’s no grid, no martingale, no nonsense! The EA performs precisely as the backtest results indicate.

Yassir is exceptionally patient and helpful in assisting you tailor the EA to what works best for you. NOTE: IT WORKS PERFECTLY FOR ANY OTHER PAIR! As Yassir mentioned, "For best results, choose non‑correlated instruments, trending , votile ones such as NASDAQ, BTCUSD, XAUUSD, GBPJPY, UKOUSD, GER30, and many others. The key is to focus on assets that are neither positively nor negatively correlated to each other, which is essential for robust portfolio management” For me, it paid for itself with the very first trade! Drawdowns are inevitable in trading, but this EA has consistently proven to be the best over time. Thank you, Yassir, for making this available to us!
