Four independent strategies work simultaneously, each with its own optimized EMA and RSI parameters. Pre-optimized — you only need to set your lot size and let the EA work.
Why BTCXAU FourEdge
BTCXAU is a synthetic pair that captures the BTC/XAU ratio, giving you exposure to the relative strength between Bitcoin and Gold. This EA runs four independently optimized EMA+RSI strategies in parallel, each targeting different market conditions. When one strategy pauses, others continue working. The Sharpe Ratio of 8.12 reflects strong risk-adjusted performance — anything above 2.0 is generally considered good. With 24,507 trades over 5 years (January 2021 to February 2026), the results carry strong statistical confidence across multiple market cycles including bull runs, corrections, and consolidation phases. The Recovery Factor of 7.72 means that for every $1 of drawdown, the EA produced $7.72 in profit during backtesting. The Additional Order System is not a martingale strategy — it opens a limited number of extra positions during retracements with fixed lot sizes and strict stop losses.

Strategy Overview
This EA runs four independent strategies simultaneously, each using a dual-indicator approach. The EMA (Exponential Moving Average) identifies the overall trend direction, while the RSI (Relative Strength Index) confirms entry momentum. Each strategy has uniquely optimized EMA and RSI parameters targeting different market behaviors, and trades are only opened when both indicators align, reducing false signals.
The EA also features a Retracement-based Additional Order System. When the market retraces against an initial position, the EA places additional entries at calculated price levels during market retracements. This system only activates after EMA and RSI confirm the trend direction, and all orders use the same fixed lot size with stop losses. This is not a martingale — each additional entry serves to improve the average entry price, not to double down on losing trades.
Each of the four strategies operates completely independently with its own Magic Number, ensuring no interference between strategies. One strategy may be buying while another is selling — this natural diversification helps smooth out the equity curve.

Recommended Settings
Symbol: BTCXAU (Bitcoin vs Gold). Timeframe: M15 (15-minute chart). Minimum deposit: $1,000 for 0.01 lot (aggressive) or $5,000 (recommended). Account type: Hedging. Leverage: 1:2000 recommended (backtest was performed at 1:2000; lower leverage may require smaller lot sizes). VPS recommended for uninterrupted 24/7 operation.
Deposit and Lot Size
All backtest results above are based on 0.01 lot with a $500 initial deposit. The maximum equity drawdown during the entire test period was $2,450.30 (13.73%). This is the key number for choosing your deposit — it determines how much of your capital is at risk.
For 0.01 lot: $1,000 deposit is aggressive and only suitable for traders who accept high risk. $5,000 is moderate and recommended for most traders. $10,000 is comfortable and suitable for long-term trading.
The lot size and deposit scale linearly. Multiply both by the same factor. For example, 0.02 lot requires doubling the deposit ($2,000 aggressive, $10,000 moderate, $20,000 comfortable). For 0.05 lot, multiply by 5 ($5,000 aggressive, $25,000 moderate, $50,000 comfortable). For 0.1 lot, multiply by 10 ($10,000 aggressive, $50,000 moderate, $100,000 comfortable).
A larger deposit does not change the EA strategy. It only reduces the drawdown percentage relative to your capital. Always start with the minimum lot size (0.01) on a demo account to verify performance with your broker before going live.
