Owner/Developer at EAHQ
Hello, I’m Michael P. Burney, a devoted architect of high-performance trading algorithms. My passion lies in the intricate world of Forex markets, where I’ve dedicated years to crafting systems that not only aim for performance but also embody reliability and innovation.

As a father of five spirited boys, my life is a beautiful tapestry of chaos and joy. My children are my greatest achievements, and they inspire me every day to be better, think smarter, and innovate relentlessly. They are the core of my drive and the heart of my ambition.

When I’m not immersed in the latest market trends or coding the next version of a breakthrough EA, you’ll find me zipping through the streets on an electric scooter, embracing the fresh air and the thrill of speed—a simple pleasure that reminds me life is a journey to be enjoyed at every turn.

My ultimate goal transcends the bounds of personal success; it’s to bring happiness to my family and to be a catalyst for joy in the lives of others. Whether it’s through the success my trading systems can provide or the personal interactions I cherish, the smiles of those around me are the true metrics of my success.

In the world of automated trading, I am more than just a developer; I’m a partner in the pursuit of your financial goals. With each system I release on the MQL5 community, I am committed to providing not just a product, but a tool that can pave the way for prosperity, giving you more time to enjoy the things that matter most in life.

As we navigate the markets together, let’s steer towards success, balance, and happiness.

AI Engine (OpenAI & Google Gemini)
Directional Trend Bias constrains trades to BUY-only, SELL-only, or BOTH based on structure. AI Validation can be enabled to route prospective entries through a model that reads live XAUUSD H1 context—trend, volatility, momentum, and optional higher-TF alignment—and responds with a clear YES/NO and a concise reason. An optimization assistant reviews recent performance and your current settings, then suggests compact parameter refinements that better fit your broker’s flow. You remain in control; changes are never applied without your consent.


Guardian Assistant Panel
Converse with the Guardian, a guide trained on the EA’s operations. Toggle Bias, Validation, and Auto-Optimize; request audits of your setup; and capture reasoning alongside trade activity to maintain a transparent decision trail. The panel supports both fully automated operation and human-in-the-loop workflows.


Forecast Mode with On-Chart Mark-Up
With one click, the EA requests a structured outlook on the current XAUUSD H1 market. It automatically draws key support and resistance zones as rectangles and plots a price-line “echo” through predicted pivot points. The Guardian posts the rationale in the panel, so you see not only the marks but also the logic behind them. This is an analytical aid to planning likely bounces and rejections around historical and psychological levels, not a promise of future price.


Transparency
Read-only investor account access is provided so you can observe the live signal at any time via MT5 investor login. This visibility lets you compare results, study behavior around news or volatility spikes, and verify operation under real conditions. Fills and outcomes may vary by broker, feed, and account configuration.

Overview
VolatiX AI is a purpose-built scalper for XAUUSD on the M5 timeframe. It blends high-frequency execution with an adaptive, indicator-aware exit engine designed to keep losses efficient while preserving trade structure. The algorithm responds to changing volatility and microstructure on gold, targeting precise entries and disciplined management rather than static stop-loss rules or one-size-fits-all templates.


Execution & Algorithm
The core model employs real-time spread checks, session and news awareness, and broker-accurate risk math. Position sizing supports fixed lots, dollar-based dynamic lots, or risk-percent sizing, with value-per-pip derived from the live symbol. Order handling uses pre-checks and fill-mode fallbacks to keep execution resilient in fast markets. The adaptive stop/exit logic prioritizes sustainability on M5; while this approach may allow occasional deeper drawdowns, it is calibrated to improve long-run stability and strike rate in rapidly shifting conditions.


AI Engine & Guardian Assistant
VolatiX now integrates the same advanced AI stack used in Yellow Brick Road, with native support for OpenAI and Google Gemini. Directional Trend Bias can fence trades to BUY-only, SELL-only, or BOTH. AI Validation routes prospective entries through a model that reads current M5 context and optional higher-TF alignment, returning a decisive YES/NO with a short reason. An optimization helper reviews recent performance and your current inputs, proposing compact, broker-specific refinements. The Guardian panel is your control center—chat with it for setup checks, parameter guidance, live audits, and troubleshooting. You remain in charge; no changes are applied without your confirmation.


Forecast Mode with On-Chart Mark-Up
Pressing Forecast in the panel prompts an AI chart read of XAUUSD M5. The EA then draws key support and resistance zones as rectangles and maps out an echo” through predicted pivot points so you can visualize likely bounces and rejections. The Guardian posts the analytical rationale in the panel for full traceability. These marks are decision aids, not promises.


Multi-TF Confluence (Optional)
For additional discipline, Multi-Timeframe Confluence can be enabled to blend H1/H4/D1 structure into M5 entries. This extra filter is intended to reduce counter-trend noise while preserving the speed required for scalping.


Risk Controls & Protections
Daily loss and drawdown guards, equity-DD limits, max spread/open-positions/open-lots, and timed sessions are built in, with graceful suspension and reset at your chosen hour. Open risk versus balance is tracked continuously, and entry is automatically halted when guardrails trigger. A performance monitor renders recent equity progression, win/loss distribution, risk-utilization gauges, per-strategy stats, and a trade log that records spread, slippage, and risk-at-decision for transparent reviews.


Validation Mode for Marketplace
To satisfy marketplace verification, the default profile limits market exposure. This preserves compatibility with validation rules while still allowing you to expand risk and frequency after installation.


Recommended Inputs (starting point)
Max Spread: 0 (uses EA judgment)
Max Open Positions: 0 (uses EA judgment)
Lot Type: DYNAMIC_LOT_DOLLARS
Dollar amount per 0.01 lot: 1000 (adjust to your risk preference)


Transparency
Read-only investor access can be obtained in the inputs section of the EA. so you can observe the live signal in real time. Behavior and fills may vary by broker, feed, and account configuration.

Overview
Yellow Brick Road for XAUUSD H1 is a purpose-built Expert Advisor that pairs a robust, discretionary-style algorithm with an embedded AI engine. It validates signals, studies trend development, and adapts parameters to your broker’s XAUUSD feed. The goal is a professional workflow that enforces discipline and repeatability—without promises or hype.


Architecture & Execution
The system runs on MT5 hedging accounts with unique magic numbers per strategy, so every position is isolated and auditable. Order handling includes pre-checks and filling-mode fallbacks; spread and session rules are enforced; and execution respects your risk envelope. You may trade fixed lots, dollar-based dynamic lots, or risk-percent sizing. Value-per-pip is computed from the live symbol for broker-accurate risk math. Daily loss and drawdown guards, equity-DD limits, max spread/open-positions/open-lots, and timed session controls are integrated, with automatic suspension and reset at your chosen hour.

Risk Controls & Protections
Risk is tracked continuously: open risk versus balance, daily loss and DD enforcement, equity-DD limits, spread and news buffers when enabled, and automatic entry suspension on guard triggers. Recovery is handled gracefully at the daily reset.


Performance Monitoring & Analytics
A live performance monitor renders recent equity progression, win/loss distribution, risk-utilization gauges, per-strategy statistics, and a strategy-similarity heatmap to surface unintended overlap. Trade logs include spread, slippage, and risk at decision to support rapid audits.


Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Optional MTF confluence lets you incorporate higher-TF context into entries. Aligning H1 trades with chosen timeframes adds an extra validation layer designed to reduce counter-trend noise while preserving responsiveness.


Setup & Requirements
Add the required Web Request URLs in MT5, paste an OpenAI or Gemini API key if using AI features, and attach the EA to XAUUSD H1. The Guardian can verify configuration, explain each protection, and assist with troubleshooting directly from the panel. The system is tuned for gold’s microstructure and assumes a modern MT5 environment with hedging support.


Roadmap & Licensing
Planned updates include AI Vision for chart-image reasoning and additional AI providers/models, with priorities shaped by community feedback. Licenses are intentionally limited to protect the strategy’s edge. The introductory launch price is 699.99 for the first week after system release; pricing may rise thereafter with demand, and total licenses are capped at 100 total copies sold to preserve exclusivity.

Sparking Zero: The 97-Strategy Trading Engine for XAU/USD (H1)


Harness the Power of a Multi-Broker Validated System, Then Customize it to Perfection.

Are you tired of trading systems that look great on a chart but fail in a live market? The biggest reason systems fail is simple: they are built and tested on a single, clean data feed, making them brittle and unreliable when faced with real-world broker conditions.

It's time for a professional-grade solution.

Introducing Sparking Zero—a complete trading engine for XAU/USD on the H1 chart. We've moved beyond single-algorithm indicators to create a robust framework built on a foundation of 97 distinct strategies, all stress-tested across the industry's leading data feeds. This is a tool designed not just for high performance, but for unparalleled consistency and control.

At the heart of Sparking Zero lies its 97-Strategy Core Engine. This powerful foundation is built on 97 distinct, backtested strategies, making it far more than a single, rigid algorithm. It is a dynamic framework that analyzes the XAU/USD market structure and can apply a wide spectrum of logic, from trend-following to mean-reversion, giving you a diversified edge in every session.

The system is validated across institutional and retail data feeds to ensure maximum robustness and eliminate discrepancies. Sparking Zero has been developed and stress-tested on a diverse array of top-tier data sources, including those from Darwinex, Blackbull, FTMO, Eightcap, Dukascopy, and Metaquotes demo servers. This multi-feed validation ensures the system performs consistently where it matters most—in your live trading environment, regardless of your broker.

Furthermore, Sparking Zero provides intelligent, strategy-based SL & TP placement, removing the guesswork from your trade management. Each of the 97 core strategies comes with its own intelligent Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) logic, based on the specific volatility and market structure of the setup. This provides you with a complete, data-driven trade plan from the moment a signal is generated.

Finally, you retain total control with user overrides. While the system provides intelligent defaults, you always have the final say. Sparking Zero features a powerful override system that allows for complete customization. You can manually adjust the strategy-based SL/TP placements to fit your personal risk-to-reward ratio, fine-tune any of the core parameters to tighten or loosen entry criteria, and even dial the system in by selecting which of the 97 strategies you want active, creating a personalized system that perfectly matches your trading personality.

Sparking Zero is built for the discerning trader who demands reliability and control. It is ideal for proprietary firm traders looking to pass their FTMO, Blackbull, or Eightcap challenge with a tool tested on the very data feeds they trade on. It also serves as a powerful confirmation tool for experienced manual traders wanting to enhance their discretionary trading with data-driven SL/TP placements. Finally, systematic traders can leverage the 97-strategy core to build a highly personalized and robust automated trading approach.

Stop trading with uncertainty. Start leveraging the power of a multi-strategy, multi-broker validated engine. Elevate your Gold trading with Sparking Zero.

Gold Rising - The XAUUSD Multi-Strategy Specialist
Navigate the unique dynamics of the gold market with Gold Rising, an Expert Advisor meticulously engineered for the XAUUSD H1 chart. Moving beyond simple indicator alignment, this EA is built upon a proprietary Multi-Strategy Index, a sophisticated engine designed to interpret the complex behavior of gold.

Gold Rising provides a systematic and disciplined framework for traders who seek a methodical approach. It is a tool designed to execute a defined strategy with precision, focusing on risk management and user-defined parameters to align with your specific trading style.

Why Choose Gold Rising?
The core of the EA is its custom-built Multi-Strategy Gold Index, which synthesizes multiple layers of market data—including trend strength, momentum, and volatility—into a unified entry signal specifically calibrated for the gold market. Its exit strategy is engineered to let trades develop, using a fully configurable Trailing Stop as the primary exit mechanism. By default, trades do not have a fixed Take Profit, allowing them to follow a trend. To help you dial-in your preferred approach, Gold Rising offers multiple, pre-configured Risk-to-Reward (RR) Ratios, giving you the flexibility to define risk parameters. This is complemented by a complete suite for Risk & Session Control and a clean, At-a-Glance Dashboard that provides all critical information on your chart in real-time.

The Core Trading Strategy
Gold Rising operates on a clear and structured rule set designed for the XAUUSD H1 timeframe.

Trade Entry Conditions: A trade is only considered when the proprietary Multi-Strategy Index generates a clear signal. This single, powerful metric analyzes the underlying market structure to identify potential entry points that align with the EA's built-in logic.

Trade Exit Conditions: The exit strategy is primarily managed by the Trailing Stop, which dynamically adjusts to follow price movement, aiming to lock in gains as a trend progresses. All positions are protected by a mandatory Stop Loss from the outset. Additionally, an open position may be closed if the entry system generates a strong, confirmed signal in the opposite direction.

Advanced Risk Management & Trading Environment
Your capital management is central to the design. Gold Rising includes a comprehensive suite of protective features starting at the trade level, where every position is managed with a Stop Loss, a Trailing Stop, and a Max Spread filter to prevent entries during periods of excessive volatility. This protection extends to the account level, where you can configure a Maximum Daily Loss, a Maximum Daily Drawdown (%), and a master Maximum Account Drawdown (%) to safeguard your equity. To manage the broader trading environment, the integrated News Filter can automatically pause trading around high-impact events, while the Session Filter provides you with precise control over the EA's operating hours.

Sparking Zero - The High-Frequency XAUUSD Trading Engine
Introducing Sparking Zero, an expert advisor engineered for the fast-paced trader who demands action and exceptional performance on the XAUUSD H1 chart.

Sparking Zero is built on a foundation of 300 highly aggressive strategies, each designed with a singular focus: to achieve a high return-over-drawdown metric and an impressive hit rate without sacrificing the frequency of trades placed. This system is for the impatient trader who understands the power of compounding; it is designed to allow profitable trades to carry and stack over time, creating significant growth potential. The core philosophy is simple but powerful: cut losing trades quickly and let your winners run.

This EA operates with an advanced internal trade management algorithm, foregoing regular visible Stop Loss and Take Profit levels on the chart.

These levels are determined by a complex analysis of indicator levels and continuous market movement adaptation, making them far more dynamic and responsive than fixed stops. This intelligent approach aims to navigate volatility more effectively and secure profits based on the market's actual behavior.

While its internal logic is powerful, Sparking Zero offers true versatility for the trader who wants ultimate control. We have included the unique ability for you to override the internal algorithm and define your own custom Stop Loss and Take Profit values directly in the inputs. This allows you to tailor the system’s aggression and risk parameters to your exact specifications, making it a truly versatile tool for any serious gold trader. Experience maximum frequency with the massive profit potential offered by the advanced strategy set included in this ground-breaking system for the XAUUSD H1 chart.

--- Important System & Broker Requirements ---

Due to its high-frequency and aggressive nature, running Sparking Zero on a low-latency VPS (Virtual Private Server) is absolutely essential for optimal performance.
