Nine engines. Two machine-learning models. Two markets. One chart.

Thanos AI trades gold (XAUUSD) and USDJPY from a single XAUUSD chart. Seven rule-based breakout engines and two machine-learning models, Mind and Tide, work under one risk framework. Every position carries a stop loss from the moment it opens. There is no grid, no martingale and no averaging into losses, and nothing hides behind vague "AI" claims: this page tells you exactly what runs inside, and the Strategy Tester shows you all of it.

At a glance

• Plug and play: attach it to one XAUUSD chart, choose a risk level, done. USDJPY is traded from the same chart, with no second chart and no extra setup.
• A stop loss on every trade. No grid, no martingale, no averaging.
• Not a scalper. Trades last from hours to a few days, so results do not depend on millisecond execution or a particular broker.
• Real machine learning, visible in your own backtests: a model set for every quarter since 2016, each trained only on the past.
• Four risk presets, from prop-firm Low to Very High, set with a single input.
• Built-in prop-firm guards: daily loss, maximum loss, profit target and weekend close.
• Everything is embedded in the EA. No DLL, no internet connection, no external files.
• A premium on-chart dashboard that fits any screen.

Five years, every preset

MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester, XAUUSD chart with USDJPY traded from it, 1 November 2021 to 1 November 2026, 1-minute OHLC, starting from £1,000. All engines and both AI models are included.

*The deepest fall in equity from a peak. Risk is a percentage of the balance, so it compounds as the account grows. Read the multi-million figures as a measure of the strategy's edge, not as a forecast: at that size the lot sizes would exceed what any broker fills in practice. Read the drawdown column first. Past results do not guarantee future results, and real drawdowns can be deeper.

What USDJPY adds. Over the same five years, gold alone on Low finished at £4,380 with a 9.4 % drawdown. With USDJPY, the result was £10,807 with an 8.9 % drawdown. On Medium, gold alone finished at £8.35 million (34.0 %), and £32.6 million with USDJPY (33.6 %). More return at the same or lower drawdown, because the two markets rarely move for the same reason.

Choosing a preset and a deposit

• Low: from £1,000. All engines become active from about £5,000, and smaller accounts trade a subset. This is deliberate: Thanos AI never opens a trade whose minimum lot would risk far more than the preset allows. The guards are always on.
• Medium: from £1,000 (about $1,300). The balanced default, for growth with drawdowns you can sit through.
• High and Very High: only with money you can afford to see fall by half or more. They use the same trades as Medium, sized larger.
• Thanos AI sizes every trade from your balance and stop distance, in any account currency.

Leverage: what each preset needs

Because every trade is sized as a percentage of your balance, the margin it uses grows with the account. A larger deposit therefore does not replace leverage: the leverage is what matters. The guide below keeps the lowest margin level seen in five years of testing comfortably above 100 %.

On lower leverage Thanos AI still runs safely: before every order it checks the margin it will need, including the margin its other waiting orders will need when they fill, and it trades smaller or waits rather than send an order the broker would refuse. Results will then be below the figures above.

Judge it fairly

Thanos AI is a breakout system. It earns its returns in trending periods and gives some back in choppy ones, and losing weeks are a normal part of the curve. Evaluate it over three to four months, not three days, and on a preset whose drawdown you are comfortable with. If you are unsure, start on Low or on a demo account.

The breakout engines

Each engine reads a different market structure, so they rarely fire for the same reason.

• Rift: H4 fractal breakouts with a 1 ATR stop and a 3 ATR target. It buys only by default, and two filters refine every entry: Veil and a three-timeframe trend check. Rift also trades USDJPY.
• Gauntlet: H4 channel breakouts in established uptrends, with price above its 200-period average. Long only.
• Snap I, II and III: stop entries beyond swing highs and lows the market has not yet broken. Each reads a different swing depth. All three also trade USDJPY, scaled to the pair's own volatility.
• Swift A and B: faster swing breakouts with a tight trailing stop that locks in gains early.

Snap and Rift place real broker stop orders, so an entry still fills if your terminal briefly loses connection. Orders that are no longer valid are cancelled automatically. Where the broker allows, every order also carries its own expiry as a backstop.

The AI: Mind and Tide

Both models are gradient-boosted decision-tree ensembles, trained on years of gold and currency data and embedded inside the EA. They run on your computer's CPU in milliseconds.

• Mind forecasts gold's next hour on the M30 chart from 60 features, including the US dollar's moves against the euro, the yen and the Australian dollar. Two forecasters propose a direction. A third model, the meta-model, decides whether to act, weighing how often the forecasters have recently been right. Mind trades only when the meta-model's confidence is above 60 % and the five-day trend agrees. Holds are short: two bars, extended once if the forecast still agrees.
• Tide reads the H4 swing structure from 23 features. It buys when its trend score is strong and the five-day drift points up. Stop 3 ATR, time exit after 72 hours.

Honest by design, and visible in your backtests. A model must never trade on data it has already seen. Thanos AI therefore carries a separate model set for every quarter since 2016, each trained only on data before its date. In the Strategy Tester, every date is traded by the models as they stood at that time, so you see the AI's real contribution with no look-ahead. Live trading always uses the current models, and fresh ones arrive as free updates.

Smart sizing

Risk is not a fixed number. It adapts to what the market is offering.

• Accord sizes down when an engine trades alone, and up when an AI position already agrees.
• Apex sizes up breakouts that set a fresh 20-day high or low.
• Bedrock sizes up breakouts from a tight multi-day base.
• Veil skips Rift breakouts after a weak close in a calm, thin-tailed market. The tail measure is borrowed from seismology.
• Trend filter halves Rift's size unless the daily, 4-hour and 1-hour trends all point up.

Prop-firm guards

Set a daily loss limit, a maximum loss limit, an optional profit target, the daily reset hour and an optional close before the weekend. The guards cover gold and USDJPY together. When a limit is reached, Thanos AI closes its positions, cancels its orders and stands aside. The guards are always on with the Low preset.

The dashboard

A live gold-finished panel on the chart shows today's P/L ring, equity and its 30-day curve; guard, news and session status; account health; each engine's state and last result; and the AI models' live readings. Every number sits on a fixed baseline, so nothing jitters as values change. The panel fits itself to your chart as full, medium or compact, folds to a single line on small or tiled charts, and opens again with one click.

Works with your broker

• Symbol: XAUUSD with any broker suffix. The matching USDJPY symbol is found automatically, for example XAUUSD.a and USDJPY.a. If your broker has no USDJPY, Thanos AI trades gold alone and says so in the journal.
• Timeframe: any, because Thanos AI reads the timeframes it needs. M30 is recommended.
• Account: hedging recommended. Netting accounts are supported, with one engine position at a time.
• A low-spread (raw or ECN) broker is recommended. Because trades last hours to days, ordinary spreads do not break the strategy.
• EURUSD, USDJPY and AUDUSD must be available, because Mind reads them. Virtually every broker offers them.
• A VPS is recommended for uninterrupted operation.

How to backtest

• Open the Strategy Tester, choose Thanos AI, symbol XAUUSD, timeframe M30.
• Modelling: "1 minute OHLC" for speed, or "Every tick based on real ticks" for a stricter test.
• Choose a date range from 2016 onward to include the AI models, a deposit of 1,000 or more, and a risk level.
• Start. MetaTrader 5 downloads the USDJPY history automatically, and one report shows every engine on both markets on a single balance curve.
• Visual mode is supported and runs fast: a week takes about a minute.

Questions

• Do I need a USDJPY chart? No. One XAUUSD chart runs everything.
• Can I use it on a prop-firm account? Yes. Use Low, which keeps the guards on and runs comfortably at the 1:30 leverage many firms give, and set the limits to your firm's rules. Check your firm's rules on EAs and hedging first.
• Does it need the internet or a DLL? No. The models are inside the EA.
• Can I run it alongside other EAs? Yes. Thanos AI only manages its own orders, identified by its magic numbers.
• Why are there days without trades? Breakouts need structure. Standing aside in a market with none is part of the design.
• Will the models go stale? They are refreshed and delivered as free Market updates. The dashboard shows the model month in use.

Risk warning

Trading gold and currencies with leverage carries a high level of risk. Backtests and past performance do not guarantee future results. Choose a risk level you can afford, and consider starting on a demo account.
