Grand Theft Gold

Multi-Engine Gold Trading for MetaTrader 5

Five trading engines. Multi-timeframe analysis. Integrated risk management.

Grand Theft Gold is a fully automated Expert Advisor developed specifically for XAUUSD. It brings market analysis, order execution, position sizing and trade protection together in one trading environment—managed from a single MetaTrader 5 chart.

Its five engines evaluate Gold trading opportunities independently within a shared market-structure framework. Configurable operating modes let you choose how selectively the system evaluates setups, while the integrated dashboard keeps its activity visible and accessible.

Trading Approach

Grand Theft Gold analyzes D1, H1, M15 and M5 market data internally to evaluate trade setups.

When an opportunity meets the selected engine’s conditions, the EA places a Buy Stop or Sell Stop pending order with predefined Stop Loss, Take Profit and expiration management. This allows the system to prepare an entry and wait for the required price level to be reached.

The five engines—HEIST, VICE, BOOST, ORBIT and SIX—use different internal configurations of the same core framework. Each manages its opportunities independently, allowing the EA to monitor multiple setups without requiring separate charts or multiple robots.

The system does not use Martingale, recovery grids, loss averaging or loss-based lot multiplication.

Four Operating Modes

VICE — Native Execution
Runs the original five-engine framework without the additional H1 recheck used by the filtered modes.

LEONIDA — H1 Recheck
Re-evaluates eligible opportunities and active pending orders as the H1 market structure develops.

GELLHORN — Selective Execution
Applies stricter approval and H1 pending-order revalidation for a more selective trading approach.

PROP — Account Protection Controls
Combines percentage-based risk management with dedicated exposure limits and daily and total drawdown controls. These settings must be configured to match the requirements of the account being used.

The built-in filtering logic runs locally within MetaTrader 5. It requires no external AI subscription, API key or WebRequest connection.

Flexible Position Sizing

Choose the position-sizing approach that suits your account:

• AUTO: Uses the EA’s built-in automatic sizing.

• FIXED: Trades with your selected lot size.

• RISK: Calculates volume from the selected balance-risk percentage and the initial Stop Loss.

A configurable maximum-lot limit provides an additional volume constraint.

Because several engines can identify opportunities at the same time, overall exposure may include multiple positions. Risk settings should account for the combined exposure of the system.

ViceLock Profit Protection

ViceLock is an EA-managed virtual protection system designed to protect a portion of a position’s floating profit.

Once its activation conditions are met, ViceLock tracks the highest eligible floating profit and can close the position if profit retreats to the configured protection level.

Available settings include:

• Classic and Gradual protection styles.

• Spike Shield confirmation during abnormal spread expansion.

The position’s physical Stop Loss and Take Profit operate independently of ViceLock. Virtual protection requires MetaTrader 5, incoming market quotes and algorithmic trading to remain active.

Trading Safeguards

Grand Theft Gold includes configurable controls for managing trading conditions and account exposure:

• News protection: Can pause new entries around selected major USD releases, including NFP, CPI and FOMC, using the MetaTrader 5 economic calendar.

• Weekend Shield: Can pause entries and remove recognized EA pending orders before the weekly market close.

• Spread filter: Can block new entries when spread exceeds the configured threshold.

• Daily-loss protection: Provides a configurable daily-loss limit.

• PROP controls: Add dedicated daily and total drawdown limits and exposure management.

These features operate according to their settings and available market data. Execution conditions, gaps and connection delays can affect their operation.

Integrated Dashboard & Chart Journal

Monitor the system directly from your chart through a purpose-built dashboard and control panel.

The interface provides access to trading mode, position sizing, automation status, protection controls and manual Buy/Sell functions.

The chart journal keeps trade documentation organized with:

• A compact trade panel.

• Grouped entry markers.

• Entry, Stop Loss and Take Profit levels for the selected trade.

• Trade details and recorded results.

This gives you a clear view of the EA’s activity when monitoring trades or reviewing chart examples.

Recommended Setup

Attach the EA to one XAUUSD M15 chart. Higher- and lower-timeframe analysis is handled internally.

A Hedging account is recommended so the engines can manage positions independently. Netting accounts combine positions and may produce different behavior.

Testing & Getting Started

Use the free Market demo to evaluate Grand Theft Gold in Strategy Tester before purchasing.

For a meaningful evaluation, use your intended broker’s Gold symbol, real-tick data where available, and realistic commission, leverage and execution settings. Follow historical testing with a demo-account evaluation before live use.

Results can vary between brokers because of differences in price feeds, spread, commission, slippage, symbol specifications and order execution.

Support is available through MQL5 messages and the product Comments section.

Risk Disclosure

Grand Theft Gold is an automated trading tool. Losing trades and drawdown are possible, and protection settings cannot eliminate market risk.
