Tshivhidzo Moss Mbedzi
I build MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisors for gold and forex, and I publish the parts most sellers hide: the losing months, the strategies I rejected, and a test year I never tune on.
How I build:
• A stop-loss on every trade, from entry. No martingale, no grid, no averaging, no recovery mode. - Version: 9.20
- Updated: 15 July 2026
- Activations: 11
APEX DRAWDOWN ZERO V9 — XAUUSD H1 Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5
One trade a day. A hard Stop Loss on every position. No martingale, no grid, no averaging down.
Apex Drawdown Zero is a fully automated gold EA that waits for one qualified setup per day around the day's early range, sizes the position from your chosen risk percentage, and then manages it with break-even protection. If the conditions are not there, it does not trade.
REAL ACCOUNT RESULT (not a backtest)
A real-money account has run this EA with zero manual trades since 17 July 2026:
- $500 start -> $900.09 (+80.02%) in 111 days
- 113 closed positions, profit factor 1.53
- 56.6% winning positions, average win larger than average loss
- Maximum equity drawdown 20.3%
- XAUUSD alone: profit factor 1.88 over 40 trades
Figures as at 5 November 2026. Not every month was profitable: August made most of the gain and October closed negative. This is shown so you know what to expect.
PRICE RISES EVERY 10 SALES
Current price: $896
After the next 10 sales: $1,099
The price then rises by $200 after every 10 sales until it reaches $2,000.
WHY TRADERS CHOOSE IT
- One trade per day: no overtrading, no revenge trading
- Every trade has a volatility-based Stop Loss and a risk-reward Take Profit
- No martingale, no grid, no lot multiplication after a loss
- Risk-based lot sizing: you set the percentage, the EA calculates the lot
- Break-even protection moves the stop once the trade is in profit
- Optional Stop After Win, trailing stop and pyramiding
- Spread, margin, lot-limit, StopLevel and FreezeLevel checks before every order
- On-chart dashboard shows status at a glance
- AUTO preset: attach it to the chart and it loads the settings for that symbol
RECOMMENDED SETUP
Symbol: XAUUSD (gold). This is the symbol the EA is built for and where the live result comes from.
Timeframe: H1
Preset: AUTO
Risk: 1% per trade is the standard setting. Use 0.5% or lower if your account has strict drawdown limits.
Presets for EURUSD and EURJPY are included, but gold is the recommended symbol.
A VPS is recommended so the terminal runs without interruption.
INSTALLATION (2 MINUTES)
1. Open an XAUUSD H1 chart in MetaTrader 5.
2. Attach Apex Drawdown Zero to the chart.
3. Leave Preset on AUTO.
4. Set your risk percentage.
5. Enable Algo Trading and check that the dashboard is active.
The EA uses broker server time for its schedule, so confirm your broker's server time before going live.

PROP FIRM ACCOUNTS
The EA can be used on accounts that allow Expert Advisors. Daily-loss and maximum-loss rules differ between providers, so lower the risk percentage to fit your provider's limits and check their rules first.
RISK DISCLOSURE
Apex Drawdown Zero does not guarantee profits. Trading gold, Forex and CFDs on margin involves substantial risk. Past results, live or backtested, do not guarantee future results, and results differ between brokers and account types. A Stop Loss cannot guarantee the exit price during gaps, slippage or spread expansion. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.


I have been testing Apex Drawdown Zero V9.20 on XAUUSD in MT5 using Blueberry Markets data, and I am very pleased with the results so far. My backtest covered approximately two years and showed an encouraging balance between profitability and drawdown. I particularly appreciate the EA’s straightforward setup and risk management settings. The developer has also been responsive and helpful, answering my questions and providing guidance on using the EA. My experience with XAUUSD has been very positive. These observations are based on backtesting rather than live trading, and I will continue evaluating its performance. Thank you for the support and continued development!
