FXEA365 Gold King — session-scheduled basket grid for XAUUSD on M1 (MetaTrader 5)
=== LAUNCH PRICE: 2 OF 3 LEFT AT $35 ===
The price rises after every 3 purchases and keeps rising with no upper limit ($35 → $49 → $79 → $99 → $149 → …). When these copies are sold, the next price is $49.
=== QUICK LINKS ===
- User guide and ready-made set files (one per risk preset, plus a prop-firm note): https://www.mql5.com/en/blogs/post/779734
- Forward test: Exness demo account (not real money), figures below and updated in the guide
- Questions and setup help: the Comments tab of this page
- All our products: https://www.mql5.com/en/users/app.develop.sk/seller
=== KEY FACTS ===
- Symbol: XAUUSD (also GOLD / XAUUSDm). Chart: M1 only — on any other chart the EA places no trades
- Platform: MetaTrader 5
- Minimum balance: $1,000 (Ultra), $500 (Balanced / Defensive). Leverage 1:500 recommended
- Risk presets (one dropdown): Ultra, Aggressive, Balanced (default since v6.26), Defensive, Manual
- Grid: yes. If price moves against a basket, the EA adds legs of the same size on a fixed $6 grid inside a limited time window. No martingale: every leg has the same size, so exposure grows linearly and never doubles
- Stop loss: there is no per-trade stop loss. A basket either reaches its take-profit or is closed by the safety layers. Two optional basket limits exist (InpBasketLossPct, InpBasketMaxDays), both off by default
=== RESULTS (WITH MAXIMUM DRAWDOWN) ===
Backtests are historical simulations, not a live record, and do not indicate future performance.
- Ultra preset, 2019.01-2026.06, 100% real ticks, Exness feed, swap included, 10,000 USD start: +6,253% (to 635,268 USD), profit factor 4.67, worst 4-year window drawdown about 88% of equity, reached during the August 2020 gold crash.
- Aggressive preset, same window: +4,297% (v6.0 figure), worst window drawdown about 88%.
- Balanced preset (two parallel baskets), same window: +1,252%, profit factor 7.61, worst window drawdown about 68%.
- Stress test on the unseen 2004-2019 window (2008 crisis, 2011-2013 gold crash): total loss of the account at the default and Aggressive presets. The edge depends on the modern gold session structure, and a regime change can wipe the account.
- Forward test (Exness demo account, not real money, running since 2026-07-25): +19.95%, 192 trades, profit factor 3.99, maximum drawdown 4.6% as of 2026-11-03. Ultra preset until 2026-09-22, Defensive since then; v6.24 since 2026-09-29. This short period has not included a deep gold crash, so the backtest drawdowns above still apply.
=== HOW IT WORKS ===
1) Seven scheduled entry slots. Gold shows repeatable behaviour at certain server hours (22:00, 19:00, 08-13). Each slot opens a position only when its DeMarker momentum condition on its own timeframe agrees.
2) Same-size recovery grid. Against an adverse move, equal legs are added every $6 inside a limited time window.
3) Net basket take-profit. The whole basket closes when its net profit reaches $140 per lot.
4) Broker timezone alignment. The EA detects your broker's GMT offset and aligns the schedule automatically.
Safety layers (margin emergency close, daily-loss and consecutive-loss halts, built-in calendar news pause, pause button) act only in live trading, so backtests stay reproducible.
=== RUN MODES AND SET FILES ===
- Ultra: wide add-window, lot 1.0% of balance per $1k. Worst window drawdown about 88%. If you run Ultra, InpBasketLossPct = 20 is recommended
- Aggressive: standard add-window, lot 1.0%. Worst window drawdown about 88%
- Balanced (default since v6.26): two parallel baskets, lot 0.5%. Worst window drawdown about 68%
- Defensive: two baskets, lot 0.35%, a scaled-down version of Balanced. No separate figure is published
- Manual: shows the lot, window and basket inputs for your own sizing
- InpBasketMaxDays: closes a basket when its oldest leg has been open longer than N days (0 = off, default; 30 recommended on brokers with heavy swap)
- Prop-firm set: we do not recommend this EA for prop-firm challenge accounts. The lowest-risk preset with published figures is Balanced, and its worst window drawdown is about 68%; compare that with your firm's loss rules before you decide.
=== FAQ ===
Q: Which chart should I attach it to?
A: XAUUSD M1. The strategy reads that timeframe; on any other chart, including in the Strategy Tester, you will see zero trades.
Q: Does it use martingale or grid?
A: It uses a same-size grid, not martingale. Every leg has the same lot, and the basket closes as one group at its take-profit.
Q: Is there a stop loss?
A: No per-trade stop loss. InpBasketLossPct closes a basket when its floating loss reaches the given % of balance (0 = off).
Q: Is the forward test on real money?
A: No. It runs on an Exness demo account. A few months of demo trading can neither confirm nor refute a multi-year backtest.
Q: Who is it not for?
A: Beginners, anyone who wants a fixed stop loss on every trade, anyone who cannot watch a basket sit in drawdown for days, and anyone who would risk savings or a prop-firm account.
Q: How do I check it before buying?
A: Run the free demo on XAUUSD M1 with "Every tick based on real ticks", from 2019.01 to today, default inputs, the preset you would actually run, and your real deposit and leverage. Then compare trade count, profit factor and drawdown with the figures above.
=== RISK WARNING ===
This is a high-risk basket grid without a per-trade stop loss, and a sudden deep gold crash can severely damage or wipe out the account. Use a dedicated account funded only with money you can afford to lose in full, start on a demo account and a low-risk preset, and withdraw profits regularly.
