TALON Gold Scalper

I've been running TALON Gold Scalper on MT5 for gold trading, and it's quickly become my favorite EA. What stood out to me first was the risk approach — no grid, no martingale, just fixed stop-losses with a trailing stop and break-even protection, which gave me confidence it wasn't going to blow up my account chasing losses. The nine-module system is what really impressed me. It doesn't just repeat one strategy over and over — it shifts between trend, volatility, and pullback setups depending on what the market's doing, and the Radar panel lets me actually see what each module is thinking instead of trading blind. The daily profit target and drawdown protection is the best I have ever use on an EA. Setup was easy too — I didn't need to spend hours tweaking parameters to get it running well. For anyone tired of high-risk gold EAs that look great until one bad week wipes everything out, this one trades with real discipline. Genuinely glad I found it.

I purchased this EA in May, and although it performed great in backtests on data from prior to each version update, it used to give me losses in live trading - much like it did in the live signal, now removed. First I tried disabling strategies that performed the worst in backtests, but this did not help (or not enough). Then there was finally version 1.7 and no updates for a while after it, so I proceeded to also disable strategies that gave me losses in live trading. And guess what, with LUN, MR, PATT, MAT disabled, so running 5 out of 9 strategies, Talon version 1.7 finally gave me a profit over the last month. Not a lot of profit and this may be too few trades to draw conclusions from, but still it's a welcome change from the disappointing performance of the older versions running with all or more strategies enabled. Further, I've just backtested (actually, forward tested) version 1.7 on data from June 21 (its release date) to end of this week August 7, with all strategies enabled, and despite of a few relatively large losses it's overall in profit. So it looks like this EA is finally usable! Now I worry the promised major update may bring new kinds of overfitting again... so we may need to figure out which strategies are overfit and which work again, and/or just run version 1.7 meanwhile... or maybe it's being forward-tested prior to release this time? We'll see. User support is perfect! Marketing feels excessive, especially with attempted price increases (followed by discounts) despite of prior poor performance and while the signal is unpublished. I'd expect demonstrated good performance and transparency first, marketing and price increases next, not the other way around. I hope this is taken constructively, and we'll see further improvement on all fronts. Update on August 28, 2026: Well, poor luck. 1.7 gave me an overall loss for August so far with my settings, and is barely at break-even with defaults. 1.8 gives a loss for August so far with its defaults. When switched to the new "Intraday / Prop Firm" mode, it shows growth until August 11 (still before the release date), then mostly retains that balance until now August 28. With results like this, I see little reason to continue running it live, so I'll stop. I may revisit forward-testing it once enough time has passed to see which strategies possibly work.

Great EA from DEV who listens to feedback and improved it massively. New version is profitable and has done very well. I recommend to those who want a reliable TP/SL EA without the risk from Grid.

Looking forward for v.1.7 update as the previous versions created more losses versus a few profit trades ( Will update this review if things get better.

⚠️ VERIFIED OVERFITTING TRAP - DO NOT BUY V1.9The advertised backtest on the description is pure curve-fitting. I tested the latest V1.9 version using standard market conditions outside the author's hardcoded date window (Out-of-Sample forward test), and the strategy completely breaks down.The equity curve flattens completely, the profit factor collapses, and it triggers severe consecutive drawdowns. As other users like playgold already pointed out, the developer just releases quick updates to re-optimize past data and maintain a fake "perfect graph" on the market page. In reality, the default settings are completely unprofitable and highly dangerous for live trading.Save your money. Open a ticket with Service Desk if you fell into this trap.

Unfortunately the EA did not deliver. Using over a month and losses outweight profits by far. Developer is helpful though and maybe can make improvements.

IF enable Friday closing trades and but HNT strategys on False on input settings, then this robot i coming to profitable. I recommend to start with fixed lot size 0.01 for the testing period. Most of the trades are a little profit trades but it looks that this how it can work out good.

One loss eat many profit deals .. No Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RRR) Poor performance ...

Ea was very promising on the backtest but it is not performing well in live. I would not purcharse it until i see a possitve tendency on the trades. I am removing the EA from my live accounts. Not sure if will be profitable on the long term. but it is not on the current market.

Update: Last version of the EA has been very profitable and moved from demo account to live account. Giving 5 starts now.

Update: i am feeling confortable with this risk reward and i am not having in life anymore. Propfirm versión which in teory has better RR, has not performed

Good Morning, I totally agree to the comment from "Ednan Kadenic", I bought this Scalper, as the backtest was very promising, in May I made small profits (1 - 3 Euro per trade), and the last days, I made big losses (17 to 30 Euro per trade), so in total I am loosing my money.

I think your EA is good, but I’ve noticed one issue. I was making consistent profit for about one week, around USD 70, but today the SL was hit and I lost the same USD 70. Is it possible to improve the EA so that SL hits can be minimized, or to add better risk protection, so the profit I’ve built up doesn’t get wiped out all at once?

Terrible EA. Since i am using its loss. It made few small wins and than big loss and so on. This ea cant be profitable long therm. Its only profitable in backtest. Dont use it dont recommend it. If i could i would like to get a refund but its not possible on mql5. Worst ea i every used so far. Your ea only looks good on backtest but live trading is terrible. Its simply curve fitted and thats why it looks like nice in backtest. When its not the case than show us all the robustnes tests you should made with your ea if you are a real and good developer. Monte Carlo test, walk forward, OOS ( out of sample test. I want to see that all to trust you and your ea. I can made an ea in 5 minutes which looks great in backtest. Thats not a point here. Looks at your live signal. Reward to risk ratio is also terrible at all. The EA have on some strategies SL of 5000 points which is 50$ loss in one trade with the lowest lotsize and profits are trailed with a very tight trailing SL which makes few $ profits. You will need over 15 positive trades in a row to cover the SL position of 50$. I know what i am talking about.

Real result is obviously worse than Backtest result, quite disappointed.

Hurray!!!! Hurray!!! for the TALON Gold Scalper. This has got to be the most AMAZING and SUCCESSFUL GOLD EA on the market! My best friend and I started our 1st live account on 5-11-26 and as of to date, the profit on that account is astonishing. The profit is currently ($1,035.11) We started the account with $1000.00/USD, did multiple back tests to come up with our own settings and TALON went to work!!!! Further, I opened a new / 2nd account with $1000.00 USD on 05-21-26 but did not go live with the software until 5-24-26, on Sunday and the result on the new account is already ($202,00) in profit and proving to be just as amazing!

Solid 4.9/5 stars — no algorithm is perfect, but this one performs consistently. Backtests were strong, and so far the live results align closely with the testing.

Very easy to use - don't overthink think the simplicity. Quick scalp trades in and out of positions without prolonged exposure to Gold's volatile moves. I really like this EA, and the author has been making constant improvements based on user feedback requests, which shows it's getting better over time.

Performance is good

My first impressions are very positive, like the quick out of the box setup, works smooth and feels worth it already, a true scalper, also the support from Eusebiu is 6 stars will keep updated on my journey !

Running Talon for a couple of weeks now - much better than a lot of the more expensive options available on the market. Great set of diversified strategies, and support from Eusebiu has been awesome (thanks for the help). No grid, no AI, just smart well timed entries and on point exits.
