Goldjager

GOLDJAGER for MetaTrader 5

Goldjager is a fully automated Expert Advisor for gold (XAUUSD / GOLD). It is built for traders who want a steady, high-win-rate system and who understand the risks of a grid strategy. It has been tested on two independent data sources covering almost 14 years, including the 2013 gold crash. Every number on this page comes from these backtests and from independent stress testing. Nothing is hidden about the risk.

💶 STARTING BALANCE

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

- Recommended: €35,000 (or equivalent) per 0.01 start lot

  → estimated risk of hitting the equity stop: about 3–4% per year

- Minimum: €15,000 (or equivalent) per 0.01 start lot

  → estimated risk about 3× higher: roughly 10–15% per year

- Below €15,000 is not recommended: deep baskets can reach the equity stop much more easily

The EA always trades the same lot sizes regardless of balance, so a larger balance gives the grid more room before the equity stop is reached.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

HOW IT WORKS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Goldjager looks for short-term overextended moves in gold and enters in the expected direction of a pullback, but only in line with the larger trend.

If price continues against the first trade, the EA adds further positions at fixed distances with increasing lot sizes (grid / martingale). All positions are closed together as one basket as soon as the basket reaches its profit target.

About 2 out of 3 baskets close with the first trade alone, and over 93% close within 3 positions.

The EA has no stop loss on individual trades. Risk is controlled by its protective filters and an account-level equity stop (see below).

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

BUILT-IN PROTECTION

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✔ Trend filter – new baskets are opened only in the direction of the larger trend

✔ Fast-move protection – pauses new entries and new grid levels during sudden spikes in gold

✔ Deep basket protection – adjusts the exit of large baskets to reduce slippage losses

✔ Session filter – new baskets only between 07:00 and 20:00 server time

✔ Friday close – closes all positions before the weekend

✔ Equity stop – closes everything if floating drawdown reaches the set limit (default 81%)

✔ Spread filter, margin checks and broker volume-limit protection

✔ Optional news filter using the live MQL5 economic calendar

✔ On-chart dashboard: balance, equity, open baskets, drawdown, filter and news status

✔ Equity-curve recorder (CSV) for your own analysis

BACKTEST 1 – XM REAL TICKS (2022–2026)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Period: January 2022 – October 2026 (almost 5 years)

Data: 100% real ticks, XM, leverage 1:500, default settings

- €35,000 → €62,750 (+79%), with every year profitable

- 22,786 trades, 65.8% winning trades

- Profit factor 1.52 | Recovery factor 3.68 | Sharpe ratio 1.56

- Maximum equity drawdown: 16.7%

  (about 22% for an account started just before the worst period)

- Fixed lot sizes – profits grow steadily, not exponentially

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

BACKTEST 2 – INDEPENDENT DUKASCOPY DATA (2013–2023)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

ROBUSTNESS CHECK – DUKASCOPY DATA (2013–2023)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

To make sure Goldjager is not tied to one broker or one period, it was also tested on 11 years of independent Dukascopy price data that was never used for optimisation.

- Profitable in every year from 2013 to 2023

- Came through the April 2013 gold crash (about –15% in two days) and the June 2013 sell-off without hitting the equity stop

Note: this check used 1-minute data, which is less precise than real tick data and tends to show smaller drawdowns. We therefore show only the overall result here. All performance figures on this page come from the real-tick backtest above.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MONTE CARLO & STRESS TESTING

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

We tested Goldjager in two ways, because a standard Monte Carlo test alone is not enough for a grid EA.

1) Monte Carlo simulation (10,000 runs per data set)

The backtest baskets were randomly resampled 10,000 times to check whether the results depend on luck or trade order.

- XM 2022–2026: 0 losing simulations; 90% ended between €61,100 and €64,500 (start €35,000)

- Dukascopy 2013–2023: 0 losing simulations; 90% ended between €76,600 and €84,300 (start €35,000)

→ The profits are consistent and not the result of a lucky sequence.

2) Grid stress test

A standard Monte Carlo only reshuffles closed trades, so it cannot show the risk of open positions in a grid. We therefore modelled how often deep baskets occur and how far gold would have to move in one direction to reach the equity stop.

- Gold must move roughly $55 or more against a basket without a meaningful pullback to trigger the equity stop on a €35,000 account

- Estimated probability of hitting the equity stop at today's gold volatility: about 3–4% per year on €35,000

- On €15,000 the estimated probability is about 3× higher (roughly 10–15% per year)

- In the calmer 2013–2023 period the estimated risk was well below 1% per year – we use the higher, current figure to stay on the safe side

These are estimates based on historical data, not guarantees.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⚠️ RISK DISCLOSURE – PLEASE READ

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Goldjager is a grid/martingale EA. The smooth balance curve hides the fact that risk sits in open (floating) losses. In rare, strong one-directional moves in gold, floating losses can become large before the basket recovers.

- A loss of up to 81% of the account is possible if the equity stop is triggered (more with slippage in fast markets).

- Live results may differ from backtests because of spreads, slippage and execution speed, especially during volatile news.

- Do not use money you cannot afford to lose.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

RECOMMENDED SETUP

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

- Keep the start lot at 0.01 per €35,000 – increase it only in proportion to your balance

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

OUR ADVICE

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

- Test Goldjager on a demo account first and get used to how drawdowns feel.

- Withdraw profits regularly, but keep at least the recommended balance in the account. Because lot sizes are fixed, any extra balance acts as a safety buffer.

- Use one EA instance per account and per symbol.

- The news filter uses the live MQL5 calendar and does not work in the Strategy Tester. Test it forward on a demo account.

Past performance and backtest results do not guarantee future results. Trading leveraged products carries a high level of risk.
