M1 Gold Scalper EA is a professional Expert Advisor built exclusively for XAUUSD (Gold) on MetaTrader 5. It places a pair of pending buy-stop and sell-stop orders on every new bar, captures breakout moves, and manages the trade automatically from entry through to exit — including a full bidirectional recovery grid when price moves against the initial position.
Every feature in this EA was refined through live trading across multiple brokers. The code handles 2-digit and 3-digit gold brokers transparently, passes the MQL5 Market certification test suite across EURUSD H1, XAUUSD D1, GBPUSD M30, and EURUSD M1 without errors, and is production-ready out of the box.
HOW IT WORKS
At the open of each bar the EA places one BuyStop above the market and one SellStop below. When either order fills, the opposing order is immediately cancelled. The filled position is then managed through break-even, a trailing stop, and — if enabled — a bidirectional recovery grid that can absorb adverse price moves and still exit with a combined profit.
KEY FEATURES
OCO Pending Orders — one BuyStop and one SellStop placed each bar. When one fills the other cancels automatically via OnTradeTransaction. Bidirectional Recovery Grid — two independent arms: a counter-direction arm that opens positions against the initial trade, and a same-direction arm that adds to winning moves. Both arms are bar-gated to one step per candle. Optionally, you can turn ON/OFF. Two-Constraint Lot Sizing — grid step lots grow geometrically but are always capped by a per-step balance risk percentage. The hard cap overrides the multiplier and prevents lot explosion. Dollar-Based Combined Trailing Exit — when the grid is active, all individual SL/TP values are removed and the only exit is a dollar trailing system applied to the total floating profit of all positions. Bollinger Bands + ADX Trend Filter — evaluates two higher timeframes independently. Classifies each as SIDEWAYS, NEUTRAL, or TRENDING. Blocks new seed entries when the overall condition is TRENDING. Does not block grid management on open positions. Break-Even System — moves the SL to a locked profit level once a configurable point threshold is reached on a single position. Trailing Stop — optional price-based trailing stop for single positions, fully independent from break-even. Daily Profit Target and Loss Limit — monitors both realised and floating P&L. Closes all positions and pauses when either limit is reached. Resets at midnight broker time. High-Impact News Filter — uses the MetaTrader 5 built-in economic calendar. No third-party subscription required. Suspends new entries for a configurable window before and after high-impact events. EA ON/OFF Dashboard Button — one-click toggle to pause or resume new seed entries without removing the EA. State persists through terminal restarts via GlobalVariables. Live Dashboard — compact panel showing balance, floating P&L, spread, max spread, today P&L, trend filter condition per timeframe, overall verdict, and a real-time status message. 2-Digit and 3-Digit Broker Compatibility — automatic point_multiplier detection ensures all point-based inputs and the spread filter work identically on 0.01 and 0.001 precision gold brokers. Orphan Guard — detects externally closed positions and count mismatches, closes any remaining chain, and resets state cleanly. GlobalVariable Persistence — all grid state survives terminal restarts, EA reloads, and chart template changes. Full Certification Compatibility — passes MQL5 Market tester on multiple symbols and timeframes including EURUSD H1, XAUUSD D1, GBPUSD M30, EURUSD M1. Semi-Automatic Trading ★ [NEW] BLOCK TREND: ON/OFF --> Click to toggle the trend-blocking filter on or off at runtime. CLOSE ALL ★ [NEW] --> Click to immediately close all EA-managed positions and reset grid state.

I would like to give my honest and highest recommendation to Achmad Benny for his M1 Gold Scalper EA. This EA is a highly refined and well-engineered algorithm, designed specifically for XAUUSD scalping with hedging. The bot takes calculative and precise trades, not random entries. It comes with fully automatic Take Profit and Stop Loss, along with dynamic trailing of both TP and SL, which makes trade management extremely efficient and stress-free. One of the best features is automatic lot sizing, which intelligently adjusts according to the available account balance and funds. This makes the EA suitable for different account sizes while maintaining proper risk control. The scalping logic on the M1 timeframe is smooth, fast, and well-balanced, allowing it to capture multiple opportunities without overtrading. What truly sets this EA apart, however, is Benny himself. His support, dedication, and helpfulness are exceptional. He is always responsive, patiently answers every doubt, and genuinely helps users understand the EA and optimize its performance. Such after-sales support is rare and extremely valuable in the algo trading space. Overall, this is a top-quality Gold scalping EA backed by a highly professional and supportive developer. I am fully satisfied and highly recommend Achmad Benny and his EA to anyone serious about automated Gold trading. Trustworthy EA. Solid logic. Excellent support. Highly recommended.
