LOOKING FOR A PROFESSIONAL XAUUSD EA FOR FTMO / PROP FIRMS

I am looking to purchase professional Expert Advisors for MT5, mainly for XAUUSD, with the goal of using them in prop firm environments such as FTMO.

I am looking for a robust, low-drawdown and consistent EA, not an aggressive system designed only to produce impressive backtest numbers.

My priority is:

CAPITAL PROTECTION + CONSISTENCY + REALISTIC PERFORMANCE

RISK REQUIREMENTS

The EA should preferably have:

• Maximum preferred daily drawdown: around 1%
• Maximum preferred overall drawdown: around 5%
• Controlled risk per trade
• Clearly defined risk management
• Stop Loss or an effective protection mechanism
• No uncontrolled exposure
• No excessive leverage
• No account-rolling or gambling approach

I am interested in EAs that could realistically be adapted to prop firm challenges and funded accounts.

STRATEGIES I WILL NOT CONSIDER

Please do NOT contact me with:

• Martingale systems
• Grid systems
• Recovery grids
• Unlimited averaging down
• Lot multiplication after losses
• High-risk gambling systems
• Latency arbitrage
• Broker/server exploitation
• Strategies depending on unrealistic execution
• Strategies specifically designed to exploit prop firm rules

I am looking for a legitimate trading strategy that can survive real market conditions.

BACKTEST HISTORY

A minimum of 5 years of historical testing is required.

Longer history is preferred, for example:

2019–2024 or longer

I prefer backtests using:

• Real Tick / high-quality tick data
• Realistic spreads
• Realistic commissions
• Realistic slippage
• Realistic execution conditions
• No artificially optimized execution settings

Please provide detailed results including, if available:

• Net Profit
• Maximum Drawdown
• Maximum Daily Drawdown
• Profit Factor
• Expected Payoff
• Win Rate
• Total Number of Trades
• Average Win
• Average Loss
• Largest Win
• Largest Loss
• Monthly results
• Yearly results
• Equity Curve

PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS

I am not looking for extreme returns.

A realistic average return of approximately 3–8% per month with controlled drawdown would be interesting.

I prefer:

CONSISTENCY > EXTREME PROFIT

An EA showing 50–100% monthly returns with very high risk is not attractive to me.

WHAT I NEED TO SEE BEFORE BUYING

Please provide:

1. Backtest screenshots
2. Full backtest report, if available
3. Backtest settings
4. Trading history, if available
5. Description of the trading strategy
6. Risk-management details
7. MT4 or MT5 compatibility
8. Live or demo forward-testing results, if available

I am also interested in buying multiple EAs if they are based on genuinely different strategies and have convincing results.

DEMO / FORWARD TESTING

A demo or trial version is required before purchase.

I want to forward-test the EA on XAUUSD under real market conditions, preferably for 7–14 days or longer.

The demo version should use the same trading logic and risk-management system as the full version.

During testing I will evaluate:

• Maximum drawdown
• Daily drawdown
• Profit consistency
• Trade frequency
• Risk per trade
• Execution behavior
• Slippage sensitivity
• Stability
• Overall live-market performance

Backtest results alone are not enough.

I want to compare the historical results with actual forward-testing performance before making the purchase.

SOURCE CODE REQUIRED

The purchase must include the complete and editable MQL5 source code.

I am not interested in purchasing only a compiled .ex5 file.

The seller must provide:

• Complete .mq5 source code
• All required .mqh / include files
• Any other dependencies required to compile the EA
• Full editable source, not a limited/demo source version

Please confirm that the complete source code is included with the purchase.

I want to be able to compile and maintain the EA myself after purchase.

BUDGET

Starting budget: $30+ per EA

The final price can be higher depending on:

• Quality
• Historical performance
• Drawdown
• Forward-testing results
• Strategy quality
• Source code
• Overall proof of performance

Please do not send generic EAs without proper backtest evidence.

I am looking for serious developers/sellers with real trading systems and verifiable results.
