Setup
Get the EA first: https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/97071
Then, let's start with the setup test. Find the EA file in the Market list:
Then right click on the "AI for Gold EA" and select "Test".
- You can use XAUUSD or Gold as a symbol only,
- Time Frame: 15 Minutes
- Tester with "visualization" enabled
The panel might look like this:
After you click on "Start" the backtest chart will appear and you will see the EA panel indicating if you set all your settings in a correct way.
Checks - How to know that everything works fine?
1. The panel should display "All settings are fine".
2. The logs under the "Experts" tab should look like this:
Log analysis
You can enable the options "Write logs to a file" and "Print Debug Messages" so the EA will write all the logs into a
AI_FOR_GOLD.log file in your directory MQL5/Files
In case something is strange, you can send the log file to me and I will be able to tell you exactly if everything is fine.
Here is an example for the inputs
Performance
In order to verify the performance of the EA on your account, you can exit the visualization chart (File -> Close).
In the Tester Settings you will need to disable the visualization now so the backtest speed increases.
Now let's set the start date to "2022.01.01" and end date to "2023.01.02".
Then click on "Start" again and watch the equity curve grow.
It will not be exactly the same but it should be very similar.
Here are two examples for the time range between 2022.01.02 - 2023.01.02 on ICMarkets and XMGlobal:
ICMarkets
XMGlobal
Different brokers have different market makers and thus the dynamics of the price differ. In some cases is a 15m candle green on ICMarkets and red on XMGlobal. The more a broker diverges from ICMarkets, the more work will the integrated risk management have. Eventually this will reduce the success of the EA.
Here you can see the list of brokers, sorted by compatibility to "AI for Gold".
In case your broker is yellow or orange, please run the backtest to find out how it performs with the EA.
Live Trading
In order to run the EA on in real time, drag and drop it on the chart. Make sure, that you set the time frame to 15 minutes.
Warning: Please try not to change the parameters after you added the EA on the chart or to change the time frame there after. MT5 will partially remove and then add again the EA internally, so some settings might get lost. I invested a fair amount of time to avoid issues in this case.
Anyway, you would be safest if you simply don't change the parameters of the time frame after you added the EA to the chart.
Note on Prop-Firm Trading
If you would like to apply AI for Gold on a prop firm account, you will need to take care of two steps:
1) Make sure that the account size is 10.000 or more
2) Set the input "Multiply all lots" to 0.1. The system has been normalized to a 1000$ account and if you set 0.1 on a 10k account, you will enjoy max stability and safety.
Summary
In any case, if the EA works fine or it makes issues, I would be very glad to receive your feedback! Really, this is what helps everyone to make it better and better.
In order to make the improvement development as smooth as possible, please consider mentioning the information from the table below.

Sincerely,
Eugen Funk
