APEX Aurum
Gold breakouts. Two strategies. One trade at a time.
APEX Aurum combines Range Breakout and Structural Breakout in one gold trading EA for MetaTrader 5. The EA looks for gold to break beyond a recent price range or a confirmed swing high or low. When its conditions are met, it places a pending order and manages the trade automatically.
Aurum waits for selected gold breakout setups rather than trying to trade every day. It is intended for traders who are comfortable following results over time, including losing periods.
Both strategies work together by default, without stacking their open positions. You choose the risk settings; Aurum handles the search and trade management.
Live signal 1: APEX Aurum 1 — 1% risk, Recovery off
Live signal 2: APEX Aurum 2 — 2% risk, Recovery on
Pricing
APEX Aurum is available at an introductory price of $199. The price is planned to increase gradually.
Two strategies, different opportunities
Range Breakout looks for price-channel breakouts with context checks and built-in quiet-market selectivity. Candle-based trailing follows the trade after entry.
Structural Breakout looks for confirmed swing breakouts, with breakeven, dynamic trailing and an early-rejection exit.
Keep both enabled for the combined setup shown in the main tests, or switch either off. The shared trade limit leaves the other strategy waiting while a position is open. It applies to Aurum's configured symbol and magic number, not unrelated EAs.
Your risk settings, your choice
- Percentage-based sizing or fixed lots.
- Individual stop losses and take profits, with dynamic trade management.
- Optional Recovery, Recovery Compounding and High Water Mark sizing.
- Optional prop-firm controls for daily and total equity-loss limits.
The default is 2% requested risk per trade, with Recovery, High Water Mark and prop controls off. Recovery increases eligible trade sizes after losses; High Water Mark retains a previous high balance for sizing. Both increase exposure when enabled.
Entry and exit rules are preset. Supplied .set files load the documented settings without requiring strategy optimization.
Setup at a glance
| Platform | MetaTrader 5 |
|---|---|
| Instrument | Gold / XAUUSD or GOLD, including broker suffixes |
| Chart timeframe | Any; H1 is convenient for viewing |
| Recommended balance | $1,000+ for more precise percentage-risk sizing |
| Smaller accounts | From $300 where broker contract, margin and minimum-lot specifications allow |
| Default sizing | 2% requested risk; fixed lots also available |
| Strategies | Both enabled; independently switchable |
| Operation | Keep MT5 running; a VPS is recommended |
On smaller accounts, the broker's minimum lot can make actual risk exceed the selected percentage. On netting accounts, use a dedicated gold symbol rather than sharing it with other EAs or manual trades.
A clear view of your trading
The dashboard puts strategy status, risk and trading activity on your chart. The readiness display shows setup progress and pending-order status at a glance.
The main backtests cover 2020–2026, with a 2022–2026 monthly breakdown, a closer view of recent performance and a separate long-history fixed-lot check. Optional sizing examples are labelled with their settings and drawdown. Tests use MT5's real-tick mode, with generated ticks where broker records are missing.
A few common questions
Will Aurum trade every day or win every month? It is selective, not a daily trade quota. Losing periods and drawdowns are part of breakout trading.
Do I need to optimize it? No. Start with the default settings or load a supplied .set file, then choose sizing appropriate for your account.
Can I use the prop controls? Yes, after matching the limits and reset time to your firm's rules. They do not guarantee challenge compliance.
Which broker account should I use? Prefer low total gold trading costs: spread plus commission, with reliable pending-order execution. An ECN label alone is not a requirement or a performance guarantee. Test the Market demo on your intended broker and account type.
How should I backtest Aurum? Use real-tick mode with complete, consistent tick history for your selected dates, and check the tester journal for missing or discarded ticks. Historical data quality, spreads and execution assumptions can affect results.
Try the Market demo in the Strategy Tester before buying. Setup support is available through MQL5 messages and product comments.
Historical results are simulations, not a guarantee of future performance. Trading can lose capital; minimum lots, fees, gaps and slippage can cause losses beyond the requested risk.
