Honestly, it's better to simply avoid this EA and grid/martingale systems altogether. In my experience, no matter how many filters, cooldowns, or max drawdown settings you apply — which is absolutely fundamental with any system or strategy you use — these specific strategies remain a ticking time bomb, especially on volatile assets like Gold. Personally, I completely avoid grid systems in my trading because if you want to trade professionally and protect your capital in the long run, they are just not worth the risk

I tested the edited code (default settings) on EURUSD, M1, real ticks, 5 years:
442.67 USD net profit. Considering how much the EA gave back as the test progressed, it very easily could have blown up if the test had been started a few years later. There are certainly simpler ways to earn a mere average of 88.53 USD per year.
And that was on the predominantly rangebound Fiber (EURUSD). As Francesco Cerullo forecasted in Post #31, the same test on XAUUSD blew up sooner.
More like a Pontiac Aztek with a square tire.
