Version 4.20 — October 2026 update — clearer operation and measurable recovery
A new read-only panel shows trading permissions, strategy context, positions matching this EA’s symbols and Magic identifiers, and broker volume specifications in the journal.
The recovery monitor observes whole-account equity from attachment or the latest cash-flow reset: current and maximum observed drawdown, time below the previous equity peak, the longest underwater episode (including an unfinished one), and completed recoveries.
InpDiagnosticsPanel controls the panel; InpDiagnosticsJournal controls broker diagnostics and the final recovery summary. These are observations sampled on received ticks, not a loss limit, a historical account record or an EA-only performance report. Deposits, withdrawals and detected capital adjustments reset the observation session.
Entry rules, sizing, exits and existing protections are preserved. The original inputs retain their names; review your saved settings when upgrading. Historical tables below identify the version actually tested.
What the EA does
- Recognizes the regime: an EMA-based signal determines market direction on H1.
- Adjusts exposure: measured volatility and account equity determine position size, with a 14% target-volatility setting and 1.35x exposure cap.
- Manages the position: an emergency ATR stop, per-trade risk control and equity guards govern the trade.
- Protects an established move: the new profit trail activates after an 8 ATR favorable move and follows at 6 ATR on completed bars. The stop can only tighten.
Current-version backtests
IC Markets (EU), gold H1, USD 5,000 initial deposit, simulated leverage 1:100. Return is net profit divided by initial deposit. Drawdown is maximum relative equity drawdown. Each window starts separately.
| Window / model | v4.10 return | Equity drawdown |
|---|---|---|
| 2020–2023 / OHLC M1 | +10.71% | 11.06% |
| 2024–16 July 2026 / OHLC M1 | +44.52% | 4.79% |
| 16 July–30 September 2026 / OHLC M1 | −3.20% | 4.85% |
| June 2026 / real-tick mode, 100 ms | +3.05% | 1.88% |
| 16 July–30 September 2026 / real-tick mode, 100 ms | −3.20% | 4.81% |
Compared with 4.00, drawdown fell in all three OHLC windows, with less profit over the longer periods. The recent window remains negative. Version 4.00 performed better in June. Four missing tick minutes were generated in the June real-tick test. These comparisons informed development and are not independent forward validation. The gallery includes the full before/after comparison.
What changed in 4.10
Alongside the profit trail, equity protections run on every tick. Protective closures are retried, and entries stay blocked while a protective close is pending. Volume, risk-cap, partial-reduction and execution-result checks were strengthened. Management targets this EA’s symbol and Magic identifier.
Test and install
- Use the exact gold symbol offered by your broker on H1, with an MT5 hedging account. Check contract size, minimum lot, margin, costs and trading hours.
- Reset inputs to 4.20 defaults or load the matching SET. Old charts and SET files can retain earlier values.
- Run the free Market demo in the Strategy Tester; inspect losing periods as well as profit. The Market demo cannot run on a demo or live account chart.
- After purchase or rental, validate on a demo account. Use one instance with a distinct Magic identifier and keep MT5 or a VPS running.
Before you buy
Minimum balance? USD 5,000 is the research deposit, not a universal minimum. Check your broker’s contract and minimum lot.
Why no trade? Confirm symbol availability, H1 data, Algo Trading, market hours and Experts/Journal messages; a valid signal is still required.
Need setup help? Use MQL5 Comments or private messages with the version, broker symbol, settings and relevant journal lines, removing account identifiers.
Backtests are simulations, not live results. Leveraged gold trading can lose money; gaps, slippage and execution failures can exceed stops and guard thresholds. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
