Giza Gold EA MT5

Free 14-day trial | Manual

Aggressive preset: $100,000 to $869,000 in the Strategy Tester

A trend-following breakout on gold plus index dip buying on the S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow and Nikkei. A stop loss on every trade, no grid, no martingale. Three set files come free with the EA: Aggressive for the fastest growth, Standard for a smoother ride and Low Drawdown for the smallest drops. The real tester numbers for all three, bad years included, are right below.

Gold trades ride the trend: there is no fixed take profit. The stop loss follows 3 x ATR behind the best price since entry, so a winning trade stays open while gold keeps moving. On gold alone (1% risk, March 2018 to October 2026) this exit made +124% with a largest drawdown of 24.5%, against +60% and 42.5% for a fixed 2R take profit.

Results at a glance (MT5 Strategy Tester, PU Prime price history, 1-minute OHLC, 100,000 USD start)

• Aggressive (indices 3% risk, gold 2% risk, 30% max-loss safety net), January 2020 to October 2026: +769% (100,000 to 869,260 USD), 1,532 trades, profit factor 1.36, largest equity drawdown 35.2%
• Aggressive, January 2023 to October 2026 only: +619%, largest equity drawdown 28.8%
• Standard (indices 1% risk, gold 1% risk, 20% max-loss safety net), January 2020 to October 2026: +201%, largest equity drawdown 17.7%
• Low Drawdown (indices 1% risk, gold on H4 at 1% risk, 20% max-loss safety net), January 2020 to October 2026: +52.8% (515 trades, profit factor 1.37), largest equity drawdown 12.0%
• The bad years: from 2020 to 2022 the Aggressive preset made only +20.5% and went through a 35.2% drop. The gold breakout alone (1% risk) only broke even from 2017 to 2022, when gold moved sideways: +1.6% with a 24.5% drop on the way (a fixed 2R take profit lost 27.9% there)

Higher risk means bigger gains and bigger drops. If a 35% drop would make you switch the EA off, use the Standard or Low Drawdown preset. Past results do not guarantee future results.

What you get

• Three presets in one click (Inputs tab, Load): Standard, Aggressive and Low Drawdown, download link above
• One chart trades gold and the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow Jones 30 and Nikkei 225
• Default settings = the Standard preset (gold 1%, indices 1%, 20% max-loss safety net)
• A stop loss on every trade and a lot sized from your risk %, so a trade that hits its stop costs about the % you set (price gaps and slippage can add to it)
• Runs on your own account or on a prop challenge (built-in presets for FTMO, FundedNext and The5ers: pick your firm in the inputs and keep the risk at 1% or lower, not Aggressive)
• Free 14-day trial on your own demo account

Strategy 1: Gold Breakout (stop orders at swing highs and lows)

• Buy stop above the high and sell stop below the low of the last 20 bars, only in the direction of the 200 EMA
• Stop loss 3 x ATR(14) that trails 3 x ATR behind the highest high since entry (lowest low for sells), with no fixed take profit and no time exit, so a trade stays open while the trend runs. A fixed take profit, break-even and a time exit are available in the inputs
• When one order fills, the other is deleted. Pending orders are deleted on Friday evening, so nothing fills on a Monday gap
• Default symbol: XAUUSD on H1, on in the default settings. The Low Drawdown preset trades it on H4 with 55-bar swings and no trend filter

Strategy 2: Index Dip (daily, long only)

Buys a short, sharp dip in a stock index while its long-term trend is up, and sells within days.

• Buy when the day closes with RSI(2) below 10 and above the 200-day moving average
• Sell at the first daily close above the 5-day moving average, or after 10 days
• Stop loss 3 x ATR(10) on every trade
• Default symbols: S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow Jones 30 and Nikkei 225 (your broker's names are found automatically: US500, SP500.s, USTEC, NAS100, DJ30, US30, JP225, Nikkei225...)
• About 3 trades a month across the four indices, each held about 3 days, so the overnight fees stay small

Each strategy on its own (PU Prime price history, 1-minute OHLC, 100,000 USD)

Breakout on XAUUSD H1, 1% risk per trade, trailing stop:

• March 2018 to October 2026 (all of PU Prime's price history): +123.7%, 1,625 trades, profit factor 1.18, largest equity drawdown 24.5%. The same strategy with a fixed 2R take profit: +60.0%, largest equity drawdown 42.5%
• January 2023 to October 2026: +120.4%, 693 trades, profit factor 1.36, largest equity drawdown 19.7%
• January 2017 to December 2022: +1.6%, 932 trades. Gold mostly moved sideways and many breakouts failed; the trailing stop closed them early (a fixed 2R take profit lost 27.9% in the same years)

Breakout on XAUUSD H4 (55-bar swings, Low Drawdown preset), 1% risk per trade: March 2018 to October 2026 +40.2%, 313 trades, profit factor 1.32, largest equity drawdown 11.7%; 2017 to 2022 +16.4%; January 2023 to October 2026 +21.1%.

Breakouts earn in trending markets and lose in sideways ones. The 2023-2026 result comes from gold's strong trend; we show both periods so you know what to expect. Past results do not guarantee future results.

Index Dip, 4 indices, January 2020 to October 2026, 1% risk per trade: +15.8%, 254 trades, 72% winners, profit factor 1.44, largest equity drawdown 6.5%. The same at 3% risk: +53.9% with a 19.1% drawdown.

Loss-limit-safe trading (what makes it different)

Before every trade the EA adds up what the account would lose if every open trade and pending order hit its stop loss. A new trade may only use the room that is left before the daily or maximum loss limit (minus a safety buffer); if it needs more, the lot is cut to fit, or the trade is skipped if you prefer. The guard watches the whole account (every symbol, every EA, manual trades) and steps in at, for example, 80% of a limit: it closes all positions, deletes pending orders and keeps trading locked (daily: until the reset, maximum: for good).

• Firm presets: FTMO 2-Step, FTMO 1-Step, FundedNext Stellar 2-Step, The5ers High Stakes, or Custom
• Daily loss limit with the reset in server time, Prague time, New York time or UTC; maximum loss static, trailing or end-of-day trailing
• Optional: daily profit target lock, per-trade loss cap, max positions, lots and trades per day, high-impact news lock (MetaTrader's built-in calendar), Friday close

Not trading a prop account? The default settings have no daily limit and a 20% maximum-loss safety net (set it to 0 to switch it off).

Panel

Status (trading, locked, weekend), each strategy's symbols and open trades, the last decision for every symbol (for example "RSI(2) 34: no dip"), the room before a limit, today's result and both limits.

Good to know

• One chart runs everything: attach it to any chart; it trades the listed symbols itself
• Risk per trade is a % of balance, equity or the initial challenge balance; trades are sized from the broker's own tick values
• Hedging and netting accounts; on netting accounts one trade per symbol
• Works best with low index spreads and a VPS. Index CFDs carry overnight fees; Index Dip holds about 3 days, so they are a small cost
• Try it first in the Strategy Tester or with the free 14-day demo trial

Inputs

• Risk: per strategy risk %, risk base, max trades open, shrink or skip when the room is too small, smallest lot allowed
• Breakout: on/off, symbols, timeframe, swing bars, buffer, stop, take profit, break-even, trailing stop and where it starts (from entry or after +1x the stop), max hours, trend filter, directions
• Index Dip: on/off, symbols, RSI level, trend and exit averages, max days, stop (ATR multiple)
• Orders: symbol map, weekend pending orders, magic number
• Prop firm: preset, initial balance, highest balance so far (trailing), daily and maximum loss limits, safety buffer, warning level, daily profit target
