Welcome to the official guide for Archangel EA. Archangel is a precision-based scalping tool with a tight trailing SL specifically for Gold (XAUUSD). Below you will find the recommended setup, the "Smart Approach" to managing risk, and a detailed explanation of the input parameters.


⚡ Core Setup Requirements

  • Symbol: XAUUSD (Gold)

  • Timeframe: M1 (1 Minute)

  • Recommended Broker: Vantage Markets (Raw ECN Account OR Standard Account)


Why is the Broker Selection Critical?

Archangel EA is a scalping strategy that utilizes a very tight trailing Stop Loss. Because the trailing stop follows the price so closely to lock in profits, the spread is the most critical factor in your success.

I have extensively tested and optimized this EA specifically on Vantage Markets using their Raw ECN account.

  • If you want to replicate my results: I strongly recommend using Vantage Markets.

  • If you use a different broker: High spreads or slippage will likely cause the trailing stop to trigger prematurely, turning potential winning trades into break-even trades or small losses.

  • Important Note on Timezone: If you use a broker other than Vantage, you must ensure their server time matches Vantage's configuration: GMT+2 in Standard Time, shifting to GMT+3 during Daylight Saving Time (DST).


🛠️ Input Parameters Explained

  • false = Fix Lot | true = Risk Percent:

    • true : The EA automatically calculates the lot size based on a percentage of your account balance.

    • false : The EA uses the same manual lot size for every trade.

  • Fixed Lot Size: If using fixed lots, define the volume here (e.g., 0.01 ).

  • Risk Percent (%): If using percentage risk, define the value here (e.g., 1.0 for 1% risk per trade).

  • Magic Number: A unique ID for the EA's trades (Default: 111 for Archangel Sentinel and 112 for Archangel Fury).
