In 1946, Operation Highjump sent an expedition into the most hostile place on Earth: Antarctica. It succeeded through method, staged progress and one golden rule: be back before the storm. HighJump trades gold the same way.
THIS VERSION
📈 Built-in Balanced profile: +$1,780 (+178%) from January 2025 to September 2026 (relative drawdown 19.0%), including +$1,155 (+115%) in 2026 alone. MT5 backtest, real ticks, $1,000 start.
🤖 Settings selected by AI among more than 25,000 simulated combinations, then confirmed in the MT5 Strategy Tester.
🔓 PARTLY LOCKED VERSION — you control what matters most.
Built-in Balanced profile. You set: - the grid step (distance between two add-ons); - the trading hours (two sessions in server time).
The rest of the engine (lots, multiplier, exits, daily target, news filter) stays locked on the tested values: you fit HighJump to your broker and your schedule without breaking its mechanics. To unlock everything: HighJump Pro.
GOLD MOVES. HIGHJUMP DOESN'T GUESS — IT WAITS, SCALES IN, AND EXITS ON THE PULLBACK.
Gold can travel $30 in a single session. Most EAs try to predict the direction. HighJump doesn't: it places a straddle on both sides of the price, lets the market choose the side, then scales in step by step and closes the whole basket in profit on the first meaningful pullback.
What makes it different is not the grid — it is everything around the grid:
- No blind add-ons. Every add-on waits for a confirmation candle, then enters through a trailing stop order: it buys the bounce, not the falling knife.
- It stays out of the storm. A built-in USD high-impact news filter blocks new grids and freezes add-ons around NFP, CPI, FOMC… And the news history is embedded, so your backtests show the real behaviour.
- It works your hours. Trading sessions in server time; outside them, no new grid — the open one is allowed to finish cleanly.
- It knows when to stop. Daily target reached: no new grid.
- Tested the hard way. MT5 Strategy Tester, real ticks, 50 ms execution delay, $1,000 deposit, 2025 → 2026.
A MARTINGALE, YES. BUT ONE THAT WENT TO SCHOOL
HighJump adds to its position when price moves against it, with increasing lot sizes: that is how it exits in profit when price comes back. We won't hide it. We would rather show you how we tamed it.
- Battle-tested. 21 months of real-tick backtests (01/2025 → 09/2026). Gold drops of up to $120 handled without panic (see the panel screenshots). Max drawdown over the full period: 12% to 21% depending on the version.
- Calibrated. Settings selected by AI from more than 25,000 simulated combinations, then confirmed in the MT5 Strategy Tester.
- Packed with safeguards. Candle-confirmed add-ons, news filter, sessions, daily target.
- Built to run on its own, 24/5. It opens grids during its sessions, keeps watch the rest of the time and knows when to stop. You can sleep like a baby: the unicorn is on duty.
A quick honest reminder all the same: a very long one-way move creates floating drawdown. Hence our advice: dedicated account, recommended capital, and a glance at the panel now and then.
And that is exactly what sets HighJump apart from "blind" martingales that double up at every step until the margin call. Nearly 2 years of real-tick backtests from a $1,000 start: a maximum drawdown of 12% to 21% depending on the version, never getting anywhere near a margin call. That result is no accident: trading sessions, news windows, a confirmation candle before every add-on, a daily target. It is this whole mechanism that makes HighJump reliable and calm.
HOW IT WORKS
- Straddle start: when flat, HighJump places a buy limit below the price and a sell limit above it. The first one filled sets the grid direction; the other one becomes a small hedge order.
- Staged add-ons: if the price moves away, the EA adds at successive levels, each one confirmed by a candle and executed through a trailing stop order.
- Exit: the basket (grid + hedge) is closed as soon as the dollar-per-lot target is reached, with a hidden trailing stop that locks in gains.
- Safeguards:
- no new grid outside the trading window;
- news filter: no new grid and add-ons suspended around USD high-impact releases;
- daily target reached → no new grid.
- On-chart panel: today's result, target, weekly summary, grid status, session and news — and a glittery pixel-art unicorn that stacks one gold bar for every 10 % of the daily target. Trading is serious; your chart doesn't have to be boring.
BACKTEST RESULTS (MT5 STRATEGY TESTER)
Settings: XAUUSD M5, real ticks, 50 ms execution delay, $1,000 deposit, 1:500 leverage, hedging account, news filter active (embedded history), period Jan 1, 2025 → Sep 30, 2026.
2025-01 → 2026-09 (21 months)
- Net profit: +$1,780 (+178%)
- Relative equity drawdown: 19.0%
- Profit factor: 2.13 · Trades: 1,459
2026 only (January → September)
- Net profit: +$1,155 (+115%)
- Relative equity drawdown: 22.2%
- Profit factor: 2.10 · Trades: 930
Read these numbers properly: more profit came with more drawdown. Lot sizes are fixed (0.01 base), so the % drawdown depends on the start date and on the account size — it is higher when the EA starts on a small balance right before a very volatile period. Past performance does not guarantee future results: run your own backtest, then a demo, before going live.
WHO IS HIGHJUMP FOR?
For you if you accept floating drawdown as part of the game, you run it on a dedicated account with capital you can afford to risk, and you want a grid that respects news, sessions and hard limits.
Not for you if you are looking for a "never loses" robot, you plan to trade with money you need, or you can't stand seeing a basket in the red for a few hours.
THREE VERSIONS, ONE ENGINE
HighJump Discovery (free) · HighJump (49 USD) · HighJump Pro (299 USD) — same engine, increasing level of control.
The idea: test the engine for free with HighJump Discovery, take control of the step and trading hours with HighJump, then unlock every single input with HighJump Pro.
RECOMMENDED SETUP
- XAUUSD (gold), M5 chart, one chart per magic number
- Recommended balance: $1,000 minimum (or equivalent); leverage 1:100 or higher (1:500 recommended)

STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION
- Download HighJump from the Market (Market tab in MetaTrader 5, or your MQL5 profile → Purchases). It appears in Navigator → Expert Advisors → Market.
- Enable the news filter: Tools → Options → Expert Advisors → tick "Allow WebRequest for listed URL" and add: https://nfs.faireconomy.media (without this URL the news filter is inactive in live trading).
- Open an XAUUSD M5 chart (File → New Chart).
- Drag HighJump onto the chart. In the Common tab, tick "Allow Algo Trading".
- HighJump / Pro versions: adjust the inputs if needed (Inputs tab), then OK.
- Turn on the Algo Trading button in the toolbar (it must be green).
- The panel appears in the top-left corner: check the Session line (ACTIVE / OUT OF SESSION) and the News line. The panel is available in English or French (PanelLanguage input).
💡 Time zone: trading hours are in your broker's server time (the time shown in Market Watch). Example: if the server is 1 h ahead of Paris, 09:00 server = 08:00 Paris time.
💡 Several charts: give each instance a different magic number.

FAQ
Is it a martingale? Yes, owned and tamed. The safeguards (candle-confirmed add-ons, sessions, news filter, daily target) keep the risk in check. They don't make it disappear, but they do their job very well: look at the screenshots of the big gold drops.
Why is the news filter active in the Strategy Tester? The MT5 tester cannot download a calendar. HighJump embeds the 2025-2026 history of USD high-impact releases so that your backtests reflect its live behaviour.
My broker quotes gold with 3 digits. HighJump detects it and adapts its distances automatically.
Can I use it on another symbol? It technically runs on any symbol, but its settings were optimised and tested on gold only.
Minimum balance? $1,000 recommended. Below that, the first 0.01 lot is too large a share of the account.
RISK WARNING
Trading on margin carries a high level of risk and may result in the loss of all invested capital. HighJump uses a martingale grid. The results shown come from backtests and do not guarantee any future result. Only trade with money you can afford to lose. Test on a demo account first.
