Zenbot MT5

Zenbot MT5 doesn't chase the market; it commands it. Operating from the high-level perspective of an eagle, it filters out the chaos to map institutional trends.

It is built for traders who want selective entries, defined risk, and clear trade management without martingale recovery, averaging into losing positions, or uncontrolled grid trading.

Zenbot is made from scratch by real trading experience. It is a Gold Breakout & Retest AOI (Areas Of Interest) MQL5 Expert Advisor.

It evaluates Golds M30 candles using our rule-based system, combining market direction, momentum, volatility, trading conditions, and higher-timeframe confirmation.

It uses breakeven and trailing and also risking less,with pyramiding. (splitting one order and lot size into 3 trades going with the trend.)

A trade is opened only when the complete setup meets both the strategy rules and the configured account-risk limits.

Free demo try is recommended before buying or DM'ing.

Trading Model

• Primary tested symbol: XAUUSD

• Trading timeframe: M30

• Chart timeframe: Any

• Entry model: Proprietary closed-bar rule system

• Default target: 3R

• Breakeven: Activates at +1R

• Dynamic trailing: Begins at +1.8R and tightens as momentum weakens

• Scaling: Optional additional positions into profitable trades only

• Averaging into losing trades: Never

• Martingale: Never

Zenbot always reads M30 internally, regardless of the chart timeframe it is attached to.

M30 is recommended for the clearest visual match.

The supplied presets use the same tested core configuration. Proprietary entry settings remain internal and are intentionally not exposed as product inputs.

Risk & Account Protection

Risk management is built directly into Zenbot.

• Hard stop loss submitted with every entry

• Position size calculated from account equity and stop-loss distance

• Total open risk checked before additional exposure is opened

• Commission and slippage reserves included in risk calculations

• Daily equity protection

• Overall equity protection

• Maximum trade limits

• Maximum concurrent-position limits

• Cooldown after losses

• Minimum margin-level protection

• Spread protection

• Outdated-price protection

• Protection against temporary broker and connection errors

• Position size is never increased to recover a losing trade

News Protection

Zenbot uses the native MT5 Economic Calendar to protect new entries around high-impact USD events.

This includes major inflation, employment, and central-bank releases such as CPI, NFP, and FOMC decisions.

Default protection:

• New entries stop 60 minutes before high-impact USD news

• New entries remain blocked for 30 minutes after

• Existing positions continue receiving stop-loss, breakeven, and trailing management

• If calendar data is unavailable, new entries are blocked for safety

• News protection can be adjusted or disabled in the settings

Friday & Weekend Protection

Zenbot uses the broker's reported XAUUSD Friday trading-session close instead of relying only on a fixed clock time.

• New entries stop 180 minutes before Friday session close

• Existing Zenbot positions are closed 60 minutes before session close

• No new positions are opened until the next valid trading session

• Both timings can be adjusted in the settings

Trading & Restart Protection

Zenbot is designed primarily for hedging accounts.

A hedging account is required for full multi-position scaling.

ECN / RAW spread accounts are recommended.

Zenbot also includes:

• Automatic recovery after MT5 or VPS restart

• Open-position and risk checks after restart

• Live broker positions take priority if saved and live data disagree

• Protection against temporary market, price, and connection errors

• Entry alerts

• Take-profit alerts

• Stop-loss alerts

• Exit alerts

• MT5 popup alerts

• Sound alerts

• Optional push notifications

Dashboard

Zenbot includes a compact 333 × 333 dashboard showing the most important runtime information.

The dashboard includes:

M30 Strategy • Chart Timeframe • Account Mode • Algo Trading • Risk Limits • Protection Status • Open Positions • Setup Scores

Normal news protection, Friday protection, cooldowns, and risk pauses are shown as protected or paused states rather than unnecessary error messages.

Broker & Symbol Compatibility

Zenbot trades the symbol of the chart it is attached to.

This allows broker-specific gold symbol names such as:

XAUUSD
XAUUSDm
XAUUSD.a
GOLD#

No separate broker suffix setting is required.

Simply attach Zenbot to the broker's actual gold chart.

When symbol protection is enabled, attachment to an unsupported non-gold symbol is rejected.

Zenbot can be attached to M1, M30, H1, H4, or another chart timeframe without changing the strategy logic.

The EA continues using M30 for its trading decisions.

Full multi-position scaling is intended for hedging accounts and is not designed for FIFO-restricted or netting-only accounts.

Included Risk Profiles

Recommended Profile

DD20_BALANCED_2026 is the recommended profile based on the balance between return and drawdown in the published 2026 test.

PROP_SAFE and GROWTH provide lower-risk alternatives.

DD20_MAX uses higher risk and is the most aggressive supplied profile.

DD20_BALANCED and DD20_MAX are intended for personal accounts or demo testing and are not presented as prop-firm profiles.

2026 Real-Tick Test Results

Symbol: XAUUSD
Timeframe: M30
Test Period: 01 January – 28 August 2026
Starting Balance: $10,000
Processed Ticks: 56,930,423

These results are from the specified 2026 development-period backtest and are not independent forward results.

Backtested performance does not guarantee future results.

Broker spread, commission, slippage, execution speed, symbol specifications, and changing market conditions can affect live performance.

Minimum & Recommended Balance

Minimum Balance: $1,000 USD

Recommended Balance: $5,000+ USD

Tested Balance: $10,000 USD

Zenbot can be used from a $1,000 account balance, depending on the broker's XAUUSD contract specifications and minimum lot size.

For more flexible position sizing and better alignment with the selected percentage risk, a balance of $5,000 USD or more is recommended.

On smaller accounts, the broker's minimum position size — commonly 0.01 lot — may cause the actual percentage risk to differ from the requested risk when a wider stop loss is required.

The published 2026 tests were performed using a $10,000 starting balance.

Before Live Trading

Before using Zenbot on a live account, test the selected profile on the same broker's demo environment.

For a more meaningful evaluation, allow at least 30–50 closed trades and verify behavior during:

• MT5 or VPS restart

• Connection loss

• Rejected orders

• High spread conditions

• Daily reset

• High-impact news

• Friday market close

Different brokers can produce different results due to spread, commission, execution, liquidity, and XAUUSD contract specifications.

Important Information

Zenbot does not guarantee a specific number of trades, win rate, profit, or drawdown.

Market conditions change over time, and periods with fewer valid setups are normal.

The strategy is designed to wait for setups that satisfy its rules rather than forcing trades into unsuitable market conditions.

Risk Disclosure

Trading leveraged financial products involves substantial risk and can result in loss of capital.

Historical and backtested results do not predict future performance.

Use only capital you can afford to lose and select a risk profile suitable for your account size and personal risk tolerance.
