Today Lucky Dogs Trading Systems launches Collie Gold, an Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades gold (XAUUSD) in short baskets, each with a defined stop loss, and grows its lot size along with your balance.
Think about your account a year from now: gold working on a slice of it, small baskets closing at their target, the lot growing with the balance, and you checking the panel once a day. That is what Collie was built for.
The numbers
Measured in the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester with every tick based on real ticks, real spread and real commission. Each year starts over at 1,000 USD, on the Moderate profile:
| Year | 2026 through Sep | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moderate | +1,733% · DD 28% | +586% · DD 20% | +199% · DD 17% | +68% · DD 18% | +6% · DD 27% | +23% · DD 15% |
- Since 2021, 1,996 of 2,020 baskets have closed in profit (98.8%).
- 64 of 69 months positive and a profit factor of 4.07 in a continuous run from 2021 to September 2026.
- 2021 and 2022 were the weak years, with gold moving sideways. 2025 and 2026 were exceptional, with gold in a strong rally, so they are not a rate to project forward.
Why "a stop on every basket" matters
A grid with no limit looks great right up to the day price doesn't come back. With Collie, every basket has a stop, every entry uses the same lot (never martingale), and the risk profile you choose sets what a basket can cost, from about 10% of your balance on Conservative to 31% on Maximum. Since 2021, 7 of 2,020 baskets have hit their stop: a little over once a year.
Built so it doesn't need you all day
- Five risk profiles: choosing one is the whole setup.
- An automatic lot that grows with your account, a fixed lot, or a lot based on a fixed slice of the account (for sharing it with other EAs or trading a prop firm account).
- Account drawdown protection, a lot cap and a pause on FOMC and payroll days.
- An on-chart panel with your account, execution, the EA's own risk, and results for the day, week and month.
- Any broker with USD-quoted gold, any symbol name, time zone detected automatically.
Launch price
The first 10 copies sell for 99 USD. After that, the price rises by 50 USD every 10 copies up to 999 USD, then by 100 USD every 10 copies up to 2,499 USD. From there, it rises with demand, up to a final price of 2,999 USD. It goes up with sales, never with the calendar. Early buyers take on more uncertainty, because the signal is young, and they pay less for it.
During the launch you can also rent it for 1 month at 30 USD, to see it live on your broker.
