HOW TO CHOOSE SETTINGS (DEFAULT CONFIGURATION GUIDE)

The results shown are generated using the default settings of AI GOLD PRIME. No custom optimization, parameter curve-fitting, or risk escalation was applied.

Over the period 2016–2026, the system achieved:

• Risk–Reward ratio (RR) of approximately 1.96

• Maximum drawdown of approximately 16%

• Total net profit of approximately USD 646,000

These results reflect the intended design philosophy of AI GOLD PRIME: controlled drawdown, stable long-term growth, and disciplined risk management rather than short-term performance enhancement.

WHEN SHOULD YOU USE THE DEFAULT SETTINGS?

The default configuration is designed to suit the majority of users and to represent the most stable operating profile of the system.

You should keep the default settings unchanged if:

• You are new to AI GOLD PRIME

• You want to evaluate the system objectively

• You prioritize stability and drawdown control

• You are operating on a prop firm or large-capital account

For most traders, the default configuration is the safest and most appropriate choice.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT PRESET BASED ON CAPITAL

AI GOLD PRIME provides two main preset modes, both using the same default logic and internal risk framework.

Mini-Scalping Mode

Recommended when:

• Account capital is below USD 5,000

• Lower drawdown and smoother equity are preferred

• Psychological pressure from holding long positions should be minimized

This mode uses the default strategy logic and does not require any additional parameter adjustments.

Pro-Swing Mode

Recommended when:

• Account capital is USD 5,000 or higher

• The trader is comfortable with longer holding periods

• The focus is on long-term performance and improved risk–reward efficiency

This mode also uses the default logic, with a different internal strategy allocation suitable for larger capital.

SHOULD YOU ADJUST RISK OR PARAMETERS?

In most cases:

• No strategy parameters need to be modified

• You only need to select the preset that matches your account size

If risk exposure needs adjustment:

• Modify risk level or position sizing only

• Do NOT alter entry logic, stop-loss logic, take-profit logic, or strategy structure

Parameter tuning beyond risk level adjustment is recommended only for advanced users who fully understand the system and accept the associated risks.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

AI GOLD PRIME is a long-term trading system, not a short-term performance tool.

The system should not be evaluated based on:

• A few weeks of performance

• Short winning or losing streaks

• Temporary equity curve behavior

Meaningful evaluation requires sufficient operating time to observe:

• Market adaptability

• Drawdown behavior

• Long-term risk control

The default settings are designed to prioritize survival first, allowing performance to compound over time.

CONCLUSION

If you are unsure which configuration to use, follow these simple guidelines:

• Capital below USD 5,000 → select Mini-Scalping Mode and keep default settings

• Capital of USD 5,000 or more → select Pro-Swing Mode and keep default settings

• Choose the appropriate preset and risk level → the EA handles the rest

AI GOLD PRIME is engineered to operate correctly and consistently out of the box, without requiring manual optimization or complex configuration.

If any setting is unclear, do not guess or modify parameters arbitrarily. Please contact support for proper guidance.

BACKTESTING GUIDE FOR AI GOLD PRIME

AI GOLD PRIME is designed so that its backtest performance can closely reflect live trading behavior when correct testing conditions are applied. In properly configured environments, backtest results can match live performance by approximately 95–99%, making backtesting a reliable tool for system evaluation rather than curve fitting.

To ensure meaningful results, users should follow the guidelines below.

RECOMMENDED BACKTEST MODE

1. “1 Minute OHLC” – Recommended for Most Users

For general evaluation and faster testing, it is recommended to use “1 Minute OHLC” as the backtest modeling mode.

Advantages:

• Significantly faster backtest execution

• Stable and repeatable results

• Sufficient accuracy for evaluating system logic, drawdown behavior, and long-term performance

• Practical for testing long historical periods (multiple years)

Because AI GOLD PRIME uses structured entries, predefined risk control, and internal filtering logic, 1 Minute OHLC backtests are already sufficient to assess system quality and robustness.

For most users, this mode provides a correct and realistic representation of how the EA behaves in live trading.

2. “Based on Real Ticks” – Optional for Maximum Precision

For users who want to simulate market behavior as closely as possible, “Based on Real Ticks” can be used.

Important considerations:

• Requires high-quality, complete tick data

• Backtests will be significantly slower

• Results depend heavily on the accuracy of the broker’s historical tick data

If tick data quality is poor or incomplete, results may be misleading. Therefore, this mode is recommended only when you are confident that your broker provides clean and reliable tick data.

WHY 1 MINUTE OHLC IS SUFFICIENT FOR AI GOLD PRIME

AI GOLD PRIME is built as a long-term system, not a scalping EA that depends on tick-by-tick micro-movements. The EA’s logic focuses on:

• Market structure

• Volatility regimes

• Risk-managed trade execution

• Internal AI-based filtering

Because of this design, backtest results using 1 Minute OHLC can already match live trading results by approximately 95–99% when evaluated over sufficient sample sizes.

As a result:

• There is no need to over-optimize using tick-level noise

• Long-term behavior and drawdown characteristics are accurately reflected

• System evaluation remains realistic and practical

STEP-BY-STEP BACKTEST SETUP (MT5)

Recommended settings in MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester:

• Expert Advisor: AI GOLD PRIME

• Symbol: XAUUSD

• Timeframe: M15 (recommended) or M30

• Model: 1 Minute OHLC (default recommendation)

• Deposit: Match your intended live capital

• Leverage: Match your broker or prop firm conditions

• Spread: Use current or average broker spread

• Use default EA settings or selected preset

• Disable unnecessary optimization options

For advanced validation:

• Switch Model to Based on Real Ticks

• Ensure full tick history is downloaded and verified

• Expect longer testing times

IMPORTANT BACKTESTING NOTES

• Always test over long time periods (multiple years), not short intervals

• Do not judge performance based on a small number of trades

• Do not over-optimize parameters to fit historical data

• Focus on drawdown behavior, risk consistency, and long-term equity development

AI GOLD PRIME is not designed to produce a perfect equity curve in short backtests. Its strength lies in structural stability and adaptability over time.

CONCLUSION

For AI GOLD PRIME, 1 Minute OHLC backtesting is sufficient and recommended for most users, providing fast execution and reliable system evaluation.
“Based on Real Ticks” can be used for additional precision, but only when high-quality data is available.

Because this EA is capable of matching live performance at 95–99% accuracy under proper conditions, backtesting should be used to understand system behavior, not to artificially optimize results.

If you are unsure about any backtest setting, do not guess. Proper configuration leads to correct evaluation and realistic expectations.

LIVE ACCOUNT SETUP

I’ve finished setting it up on a USD 100,000 account.

I’m using strategies #4 to #6.

I’m using strategies #4 and #6.

The EA does not require a minimum balance.

You can run it with any account balance you want.

With a small balance, you should prioritize scalping to keep the stop loss smaller.

If you use Pro Swing, given the current volatility of gold, the stop loss per trade is usually around USD 200–300.

Yes, I manually selected custom #4 and #6 for my $100,000 account.
