XauVora MT5 Scalper

Xauvora is an automated Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 developed for XAUUSD trading on M1.

It combines two complementary momentum engines in one system. Each engine has independent entry logic, position management, magic number and risk settings. Both engines can operate together, or the user can enable either engine separately.

Xauvora focuses on rule-based execution, controlled position sizing and active trade protection. It does not use grid trading, martingale or loss-recovery lot multiplication.

How Xauvora trades

Core A: Previous-day breakout

Core A monitors the previous completed broker-day high and low. It waits for price to cross one of these levels and can take one buy and one sell per broker day.

Core A uses:

• Initial stop loss

• Fixed take profit

• Break-even protection

• Price-based trailing stop

• Independent position sizing

• Independent magic number

Core B: Momentum continuation

Core B monitors a recent M1 price channel. A breakout must also pass RSI and exponential moving-average confirmation.

Core B uses:

• RSI momentum confirmation

• EMA trend confirmation

• Initial stop loss

• ATR-based trailing activation

• ATR-based trailing distance

• Optional momentum-reversal exit

• Optional maximum holding time

• Independent position sizing

• Independent magic number

Account size and risk profile

The recommended reference account size for Xauvora is $10,000.

This account size provides more flexibility for balance-based position sizing and reduces the effect of broker minimum-lot restrictions. Users can select fixed-lot, percentage-risk or balance-scaled sizing independently for each trading core.

Xauvora can also be configured for smaller accounts. Fixed-lot and percentage-risk modes allow the user to reduce exposure according to the account balance and broker conditions.

There is no universal minimum balance. Suitability depends on:

• Broker minimum lot size

• Gold contract specification

• Account leverage

• Selected stop distances

• Spread and commission

• Position-sizing mode

• Personal risk tolerance

On a small account, the broker's minimum lot may produce a higher effective risk than the selected percentage. Always verify the calculated volume and margin requirement in the Strategy Tester.

Historical Strategy Tester results

The following figures are from a verified historical Strategy Tester run. They are not live-account results and do not predict future performance.

Test conditions:

• Period: January 1 to December 31, 2025

• Symbol: XAUUSD.ecn

• Timeframe: M1

• Model: Every tick based on real ticks

• Ticks processed: 54,389,416

• Tested account size: $1,000

• Leverage: 1:3000

• Execution delay: 20 milliseconds

Historical result:

• 312 completed trades

• 84.29% winning trades

• $528.14 net profit

• 1.54 profit factor

• 10.31% maximum closed-trade balance drawdown

The recorded 10.31% drawdown shows the closed-trade balance fluctuation measured during this specific historical test. It is not a guaranteed maximum drawdown, and it does not include every possible intratrade equity movement.

A separate $10,000 Strategy Tester run should be completed before publishing any performance figures specifically attributed to a $10,000 account.

Recommended setup

• Platform: MetaTrader 5

• Reference account size: $10,000

• Smaller accounts: Supported with carefully selected fixed-lot or percentage-risk settings

• Symbol: XAUUSD or the broker's equivalent gold symbol

• Timeframe: M1

• Account type: Hedging

• Automated trading: Enabled

• Testing model: Every tick based on real ticks

A hedging account is recommended because the two engines can hold independent positions at the same time.

Start with a low-risk configuration and verify it using the intended broker's real-tick data. Broker spreads, commissions, swaps, symbol specifications and execution quality can materially change the results.

Position-sizing modes

Each core has an independent risk mode. Only settings associated with the selected mode affect its position size.

• XAUVORA_FIXED_LOT: Uses the specified fixed lot.

• XAUVORA_PERCENT_RISK: Calculates volume using account equity, stop distance and risk percentage.

• XAUVORA_LOTS_PER_1000: Scales volume according to account balance and BalanceStep.

• XAUVORA_INFERRED_RISK_LEVEL: Uses Xauvora's balance-scaled risk-level calculation.

Volumes are normalized according to the broker's minimum lot, maximum lot and volume step.

Important usage information

The news filters use stored dates and calendar approximations. They do not download live calendar information.

Use unique magic numbers when running multiple Xauvora instances on the same trading account.

There is no universal minimum account balance. The appropriate balance depends on the broker's minimum lot, contract specification, stop distances and selected risk mode.

Changes to the broker, symbol, timeframe, risk mode or default parameters can materially change results. Test every configuration separately.

Risk notice

Trading involves risk. Historical Strategy Tester results do not guarantee future performance or profit.

Spreads, commissions, swaps, execution delays, slippage, tick history and broker symbol specifications can produce different results. Test Xauvora in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before considering live trading.
