Sumatran Tiger EA is a long-only Gold (XAUUSD) grid system for the M5 timeframe that closes baskets at a small money target.
How it works
- Long entries on breakout of the recent 20-bar range, filtered by a 200-period trend average.
- Trades only during selected peak hours (server hours 3, 18-23 by default).
- Short grid step (2 USD) with up to 15 legs and a fixed lot (no martingale by default).
- The whole basket is closed at a small profit (15 USD by default), so baskets rarely stay open for long.
- Optional basket stop in % of balance, regime filter and lot proportional to balance.
Backtest (see the first screenshot: equity curve of the best backtest)
XAUUSD M5, real ticks, 2024.01 - 2026.06, deposit 10,000 USD, 1:500, default settings:
net profit +19,209 USD, win rate 72.5%, profit factor 2.78, maximum equity drawdown 37.9% (floating). The account never blew up during the test.
Recommendations
- Symbol: XAUUSD, timeframe M5, hedging account.
- Minimum deposit: 10,000 USD for the default 0.02 lot (scale proportionally).
- Low spread ECN/raw broker and a VPS.
- Grid strategies carry tail risk: in a long gold crash the floating drawdown can be large. Enable the basket stop on live accounts.
