Gold Beaver and Ethereum Beast

In one minute

  • Gold Beaver trades gold. Ethereum Beast trades Ethereum (ETH). They do not move together.
  • We set every robot to the same risk: about 15% maximum drawdown.
  • Combo Safe + Ethereum Beast: $10,000 became $51.4 million (x5,136). Combo Safe alone: $2.4 million (x238). The drawdown did not grow.
  • GOLD ALL V2 + Ethereum Beast: $10,000 became $152.3 million (x15,232). GOLD ALL V2 alone: $47.9 million (x4,794).
  • Almost no quiet weeks: only 7 weeks without a trade in 6.7 years (104 with Combo Safe alone).
  • All numbers come from MT5 back-tests 2020 - 2026 (1-minute data, real spreads, commissions and swaps), $10,000 start, max 100 lots per order.

Words used in this post

  • Drawdown: the biggest fall of the account from its last high. Lower = calmer. (The MT5 tester checks every minute and shows about 15%. Our charts use daily values, so they show about 13%.)
  • Green month: a month that ended in profit.
  • Correlation: do two things move together? +1 = always together, 0 = no link, -1 = always opposite.
  • Compounding: the lot grows with the balance. Fixed lot: the lot never changes.
  • x238: the money grew 238 times (x2 = doubled).

1. Meet the robots

Gold Beaver - Combo Safe (the default preset)

  • Trades gold (XAUUSD) with 4 breakout strategies.
  • Every order has a real stop-loss and take-profit at the broker. No grid, no martingale, no averaging down.
  • Protection Auto (on by default) locks in profit early and cuts the risk when many orders gather at one price.
  • The lot grows with the balance, so profits compound.

Gold Beaver - GOLD ALL V2

  • 14 strategies in one: GOLD ALL (7) + Combo Reaper Plus (7). Duplicates removed, nothing re-tuned.
  • About 5 times more trades than Combo Safe. Recommended from $2,000.
  • It already includes the Combo Safe strategies - run one or the other, not both.

Ethereum Beast - MT5 BEST

  • Trades ETH 24/7 - at an MT5 broker or on Binance futures.
  • Every position has a real stop-loss and take-profit. Once a trade is in profit, it locks a small gain.
  • No grid, no martingale, no averaging down. The lot grows with the balance.

How they work together

  • One MT5 account (hedging type), two charts: Gold Beaver on XAUUSD, Ethereum Beast on ETHUSD. One VPS runs both.
  • Each robot has its own ID (magic number), so it only touches its own orders.
  • Both robots size their lots from the same balance. When one earns, the other trades bigger too - so the pair grows faster than either robot alone.
  • Gold closes at the weekend. Ethereum Beast keeps trading, so the account works 7 days a week.

2. Do they move together? No.

Correlation map

  • Correlation between the two robots: -0.07 - practically zero.
  • Only 5 of 81 months were red for both robots.
  • In 14 months Gold Beaver was red and Ethereum Beast green. In 19 months it was the other way round.
  • On Gold Beaver's 20 worst days, Ethereum Beast was also down on only 2.
  • Combo Safe and GOLD ALL V2 move almost the same way (+0.95). Pick one of them and pair it with Ethereum Beast.

One dot per month

3. Same risk: each robot alone and both together

To compare fairly, every robot gets the same risk - about 15% maximum drawdown in the MT5 tester:

  • Gold Beaver Combo Safe: Lot % 10.
  • Gold Beaver GOLD ALL V2: Lot % 5.4.
  • Ethereum Beast: 38% of the balance per position (1.9 times its default of 20%).

Then we put each Gold Beaver preset together with Ethereum Beast on one account.

  • With Ethereum Beast added, the result was about 22 times bigger for Combo Safe and about 3 times bigger for GOLD ALL V2.
  • The worst drawdown stayed the same with Combo Safe (13.3%) and rose only a little with GOLD ALL V2 (14.8% to 15.2%).
  • Note: with a higher risk (Lot % 10, about 25% drawdown) GOLD ALL V2 alone made x11,673. Here every robot uses the same 15% risk, so the numbers are lower.

4. Why the risk does not add up

The two robots have their bad times at different moments. While one is down, the other usually earns. Together you see more small dips, but the deepest drop stays the same:

Drawdown, compounding

  • March 2021: Combo Safe's worst month (-5.1%). Ethereum Beast made +14.6%.
  • December 2022: Ethereum Beast's worst month (-7.7%). Combo Safe made +2.1%, GOLD ALL V2 +6.5%.
  • June 2023 to February 2024: Ethereum Beast's deepest drop (-12.1%). Combo Safe made +20.7% in the same time.
  • Ethereum Beast alone once waited 303 days for a new high. With Combo Safe, the longest wait was 120 days.

5. Trading activity

Trades per month

  • Combo Safe opens about 4 trades a week, Ethereum Beast about 13. Together: about 17.
  • Gold has quiet weeks: Combo Safe had no trade in 104 of 350 weeks. Ethereum Beast traded in 97 of them, so with both only 7 weeks stayed empty.
  • About 23% of Ethereum Beast's trades open at the weekend, when gold is closed.
  • GOLD ALL V2 is busier: about 21 trades a week alone, about 34 with Ethereum Beast - and not one empty week.
  • Activity stayed steady every year (2020 - 2025): Combo Safe 183 - 268 trades a year, Ethereum Beast 527 - 844.

6. Without compounding (fixed lot)

Same settings, but the lot never grows: profits add up instead of multiplying. A down-to-earth view of the same results.

7. What $10,000 would have become

Money by year

  • Every order is limited to 100 lots (a usual broker maximum). That is why growth slows down at the end.
  • A smaller start hits that limit later. From $1,000: Combo Safe + Ethereum Beast $33.4 million (x33,431), GOLD ALL V2 + Ethereum Beast $118.1 million (x118,138).
  • With no lot limit at all: x117,421 and x3.2 million.

8. Settings used

  • Account: one MT5 account (hedging type) with both XAUUSD and ETHUSD. Run it 24/7 on a VPS - ETH trades at the weekend too.
  • Gold Beaver on an XAUUSD chart: Combo Safe, Protection Auto, Lot % 10, magic 909. Or GOLD ALL V2, Lot % 5.4 (set file for Gold Beaver owners).
  • Ethereum Beast on an ETHUSD chart: AUTO (MT5 BEST), 38% of balance per position (default 20%), magic 2085. Make sure your broker's ETH leverage allows this size.
  • Want less risk? Lower both lot settings by the same amount (for example both to half).

9. Conclusion: the highlights

  • No correlation. The two robots move independently (-0.07). Only 5 of 81 months were red for both.
  • Same risk, much more profit. Combo Safe alone: x238. With Ethereum Beast: x5,136 - at the same 13.3% drawdown.
  • Fewer losing months. 20 with Combo Safe alone, 25 with Ethereum Beast alone, only 12 together (out of 81).
  • They cover each other. In Combo Safe's worst month, Ethereum Beast made +14.6%. In Ethereum Beast's deepest drop, Combo Safe made +20.7%.
  • Faster recovery. Longest wait for a new high: 303 days for Ethereum Beast alone, 120 days together.
  • Trades 7 days a week. Weeks with no trade: 104 down to 7 (and 0 with GOLD ALL V2).
  • Works without compounding too. Fixed lot: 87% a year alone, 186% together, at about the same drawdown (7.6% and 7.7%).
  • Every year in profit. Every set-up in this post ended every year from 2020 to 2026 in profit.
  • Easy to run. One account, one VPS, two charts.

Bottom line: already have Gold Beaver? Ethereum Beast is the natural second robot - a different market, different trading days, the same safety rules (real stop-loss, no grid, no martingale). On one account the risk stayed the same, and the profit multiplied.
