Cheetah Gold Scalper - XAUUSD Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5
Tick-based XAUUSD scalping robot for MetaTrader 5 hedging accounts. The default limits are two baskets per day and up to two positions per basket. Fewer entries, including no trades, are possible.
Cheetah Gold Scalper is an automated trading robot for XAUUSD on MetaTrader 5 (MT5). It trades one situation: a fast move in gold that the strategy attempts to trade for a reversal. When price travels a set distance within about a minute and is still accelerating, the EA opens against the move, adds at most one more position while the move extends, and manages both as a single basket until the move gives back part of what it gained.
The name reflects how it trades. A cheetah makes one or two attempts a day and rests in between. This gold EA is limited to two baskets per trading day by default, and that limit has a large effect on results.
The documented default uses fixed lots per position. In Fade mode, the basket can add a second position while the impulse continues against the first entry, increasing exposure. Stop losses are placed after fills; rejected modifications, gaps and slippage can prevent the intended protection. Review basket exposure and stop placement in Strategy Tester before use.
How it works
Entry. Price movement is measured tick by tick over a rolling 60 second window rather than on candle closes. The trigger is a fixed price distance, so the EA responds to real volatility events rather than to ordinary market noise. A move must still be accelerating to qualify, so moves that have already finished are skipped.
Scaling. A signal opens up to two positions. Both must fill within five seconds of each other and within a limited price band, and the second is only added while the move is still extending. The two positions are then handled as one basket.
Exit. The basket is closed by a proportional profit trail. The trail becomes active once the basket is sufficiently ahead, then closes both positions after a defined share of the peak profit has been given back. Smaller trades are given room, larger ones are allowed to continue.
Risk control. Each position has a stop loss placed from its actual fill price. There is a daily limit on the number of baskets, a spread filter, two configurable trading sessions, and optional daily loss and daily profit limits. Position size is a fixed lot by default, with optional percent-of-balance sizing.
On-chart dashboard
A small panel on the chart shows the current state: armed, in a trade, cooling down, outside session hours or finished for the day. It also shows current spread, baskets used today, open positions, floating profit, profit realised today, balance, equity and peak drawdown.
Strategy Tester results
The figures below come from the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester. They are backtest results and not results from a real account.
Settings: 100% real tick data, XAUUSD M1, 7 May 2026 to 25 July 2026, 250 USD starting deposit, 1:500 leverage, fixed 0.01 lot.
199 trades, 69.3% won, profit factor 2.56, net result 336.82 USD, maximum balance drawdown 9.24%, largest single loss 4.40 USD, longest losing run 6 trades totalling 21.99 USD. By month: May 140.75, June 65.07, July 129.48.
Walk-forward check
Backtest settings can be fitted to the data they were chosen on, so a separate check was run. All parameters were selected using May and June data only, then applied without changes to July, which was not used during that selection.
July result: 64 trades, 81.2% won, profit factor 3.91, net result 129.48 USD, maximum drawdown 22.25 USD.
These are also Strategy Tester results.
Requirements
Symbol: XAUUSD, which is what the settings are calibrated for.
Timeframe: any, because the logic reads M1 data and ticks internally.
Account type: hedging. The two-position basket does not behave correctly on a netting account.
Broker: ECN or Raw spread is preferred. The EA skips entries when the spread is too wide.
The reported backtest used a 250 USD deposit and 0.01 lot per position. This is a test condition, not a guarantee that this capital is sufficient for your broker or risk settings.
A VPS is recommended, since the EA reacts to ticks and latency affects fills.
The symbol-adaptation input rescales price-based settings. The supplied configuration is calibrated for XAUUSD; automatic scaling does not establish suitability for other instruments.
Setup
Attach the EA to an XAUUSD chart on a hedging account. Any timeframe is fine. Keep the default settings, which are the tested configuration. Compare your broker's server time with the two session windows and adjust them if the times do not match. Run the EA on a demo account first.

Frequently asked questions
Which broker and account type do I need? Any broker offering XAUUSD on a hedging MetaTrader 5 account. A raw or ECN spread account is preferred because the EA trades intraday and skips entries when the spread widens.
Does it work on other symbols? The supplied settings are calibrated for XAUUSD only. Other instruments require separate testing; automatic scaling does not verify trading behavior or results.
How many trades will I see? Two baskets per trading day at most with the default settings, and often fewer. The EA waits for a specific condition and stays flat otherwise.
Can it add exposure to a losing entry? Yes. The documented Fade configuration can open a second position while the impulse extends against the first. Fixed lots do not remove the risk of this basket exposure.
Can I use it on a small account? The tested configuration uses a fixed 0.01 lot from a 250 USD deposit.
Please read
Past performance does not indicate future results. The testing described above covers eleven weeks on one instrument, with one month kept aside as an out-of-sample check. All figures are Strategy Tester results, not real account results, and none of them is a forecast. Use money you can afford to lose and test on a demo account first.
