Gold EA for MT5: Kingdom Hunter Gold Turned $1,000 into $3.68 Million in the Tester, and Now Runs Live

One Strategy Tester run. XAUUSD, H1, 1 January 2018 to 26 August 2026. Starting deposit $1,000. Leverage 1:100. Every tick based on real ticks. Every input at its default: the Hunter rank.

At the end of the run the balance reads $3,680,136. Three thousand six hundred and eighty times the start.

And the same $1,000 size now runs on a real account, published on MQL5 Signals for anyone to watch.

THE $1,000 RUN

Start: $1,000
End: $3,680,136
Multiple: 3,680 times
Trades: 7,359
Profit factor: 4.39
Maximum equity drawdown: 33.07%

THE SAME ENGINE AT EVERY ACCOUNT SIZE

Same period, same settings, the same 7,359 trades. Only the starting deposit changes:

$1,000 start: $3,680,136 at the end. 3,680 times. Equity drawdown 33.07%.
$3,000 start: $14,157,647 at the end. 4,719 times. Equity drawdown 33.08%.
$5,000 start: $23,164,256 at the end. 4,633 times. Equity drawdown 32.07%.

The risk sits at the same level at every size. What changes is how fast the account can compound. At $1,000 the smallest lot steps round the position sizes, so growth runs a little slower; that is why the product page recommends $3,000 or more. At $5,000 the broker's 100-lot cap arrives sooner, so the multiple levels off earlier.

ONE ENGINE, FOUR RANKS

The rank input changes only the position size: the same signals, the same 7,359 trades. From a $3,000 start:

Scout: $73,046 at the end. 24.3 times. Equity drawdown 13.81%.
Tracker: $958,631 at the end. 319.5 times. Equity drawdown 23.57%.
Hunter, the default: $14,157,647 at the end. 4,719 times. Equity drawdown 33.08%.
Apex: $52,117,293 at the end. 17,372 times. Equity drawdown 46.03%.

HOW THE HUNTER TRADES

Kingdom Hunter Gold trades gold, XAUUSD, on the H1 chart. It opens only inside timed session windows, about three to four trades a day on average. Positions are managed as a basket, with a defined profit ladder, break-even levels and hard time limits. High-impact news, volatility spikes and widened spreads are filtered out automatically.

YEAR BY YEAR

The reference run on the product page starts at $3,000. The same trades, year by year:

2018: +4.1%, to $3,122
2019: +32.1%, to $4,125
2020: +104.7%, to $8,445
2021: +50.5%, to $12,712

2025: +2,320.2%, to $5,271,966
2026, to 26 August: +168.5%, to $14,157,647

Nine calendar years. Nine finished higher than they started.

94 months had trades, and every one of the 94 closed in profit. The other ten months had no trade at all: the Hunter waits when its filters say no.

Every possible 12-month stretch of the run ended positive: 93 windows out of 93. The weakest still finished +1.7%.

The reference run's raw Strategy Tester curve. Net profit $14,154,646; final balance $14,157,647.
