RealCost XAU Basket Quality
- Experts
- Version: 1.0
RealCost XAU Free is a free micro-lot Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5.
It is designed for traders who want to test the behavior of an XAUUSD M1 trading system with very small exposure. The free edition uses real trading logic, but the trading volume is hard-locked to 0.01 lot in the code.
This version is suitable for demo testing, broker compatibility checks and forward observation before using larger trading volume.
Main features:
- Built for XAUUSD / Gold on the M1 timeframe
- Fixed 0.01 lot in the Free edition
- Session-based basket logic
- EMA, RSI, ATR and volatility filters
- Spread filter and daily risk controls
- No set file required
- Supports common broker gold symbols such as XAUUSD, XAUUSD-ECN, XAUUSDm and GOLD
Recommended broker conditions:
For best results, use a broker with ECN, RAW or low-spread gold trading conditions.
Recommended setup:
- Symbol: XAUUSD or broker gold variant
- Timeframe: M1
- Account type: Hedging preferred
- Minimum lot: 0.01
- Gold quote: 2 decimal pricing preferred
- Leverage: 1:100 or higher recommended
- VPS: recommended for stable 24/5 execution
- Spread: use RAW / ECN / low-spread accounts whenever possible
Avoid:
- Very wide spreads on gold
- Slow execution or high slippage brokers
- Unusual gold symbols with different contract sizes
- Untested 3 decimal gold pricing
- Running the EA on multiple charts with the same symbol and Magic Number
Backtest notes:
The EA was mainly tested on XAUUSD-ECN with real ticks. Results may vary between brokers due to spread, commission, swap, slippage, execution speed, symbol specifications and available tick history.
Free edition limitation:
This version is intentionally limited to 0.01 lot. It is made for testing and verification, not for aggressive balance growth.
Risk warning:
Trading involves risk. Historical backtests do not guarantee future results. Always test on a demo account before using real funds.
