XAUUSD EA for MT5: Kingdom Hunter Gold Was Profitable 9 of 9 Years in the Tester
"Profitable every year" is one of the easiest things to say about an Expert Advisor, and one of the hardest to check unless the test behind it is printed in full. This post prints it: the settings, the year-by-year results, and the steps to run the same test yourself.
THE TEST
MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester:

HOW THE HUNTER TRADES
Kingdom Hunter Gold trades gold, XAUUSD, on the H1 chart, and only inside timed session windows. Entries are managed as a group, with a defined profit ladder, break-even levels and hard time limits. High-impact news, volatility spikes and widened spreads are filtered out automatically; when conditions do not pass the filters, the EA stands aside.
Four risk profiles share the same trading logic and change only position size: Scout, Tracker, Hunter and Apex. Hunter is the default, and it is the profile behind every figure in this post. New users are advised to start with Scout on a demo account.
