RealCost XAU Basket Quality MT5 is a gold-focused Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5.
This EA is built for XAUUSD-ECN / XAUUSD / GOLD on the M1 timeframe. The default profile was prepared and tested on VTMarkets-Demo, XAUUSD-ECN, M1, using low-spread gold conditions.
This is not a universal attach-anywhere robot. It is designed for brokers with stable gold execution, low spread and reliable tick data. Gold trading results can be very different between brokers, so please test it on your own broker before live use.
Main trading idea
RealCost XAU Basket Quality MT5 uses selected session entries, EMA/RSI/ATR filtering, quality-state checks and basket-level exits. It is designed to avoid random overtrading and to keep risk controls visible.
The EA uses capital-adaptive lot sizing. It can scale lot limits based on account balance while keeping maximum lot, maximum basket exposure, spread filter and drawdown controls in the inputs.
Default environment
Best tested symbol:
XAUUSD-ECN
Other symbols to test:
XAUUSD, GOLD or your broker's gold suffix
Timeframe:
M1 only
Recommended account:
ECN / RAW / low-spread gold account
Default spread filter:
MaxSpreadPoints = 180
If your broker's gold spread often exceeds 180 points in MetaTrader 5, the EA may skip trades or perform differently. Do not judge the EA on a high-spread or unstable gold feed.

1000 USD or higher for the default profile
Recommended leverage:
1:100 minimum
1:500 preferred if available from your broker

Important broker note
The EA is sensitive to gold trading costs. Spread, commission, slippage, tick data, server time and symbol specification can change the result. A broker with low and stable XAUUSD spread is strongly recommended.
