Core specifications
This expert advisor is built for MetaTrader 5 only and trades a single symbol: XAUUSD on the M5 timeframe. The developer recommends a minimum deposit of $500 and leverage of 1:30 or higher. It is compatible with hedging accounts, including Standard, STP, ECN, Raw, Cent, and Micro variants. No source code is included.
Neural-network entry logic
Entries are generated by a hybrid attention neural network rather than a fixed combination of traditional indicators. The model evaluates multiple learned market features and dynamically weights them according to current conditions. The vendor describes this as a selective approach: the EA may stay flat for extended periods when no high-probability setup is detected, and it can open several positions in quick succession when conditions align. This variable trading frequency is part of the design, not a malfunction.
Position management after entry
- Every position includes a predefined stop-loss and take-profit.
- Break-even and trailing stop functions are available.
- No martingale, grid, or position averaging is used.
- Up to four simultaneous positions can be held.
Automatic lot sizing
Two modes are available. The default setting uses a risk-per-equity model with a risk level of 0.005, meaning position size adjusts with account balance. Alternatively, the trader can set a fixed volume, such as 0.01 lots. This choice matters most when running the EA on a prop-firm account where the risk model must match the firm's drawdown rules.
Risk and exposure limits
Beyond the per-trade stop-loss, the EA includes tools aimed at funded-account compliance. A daily loss limit and a total drawdown limit can be configured as percentages of initial balance. Strict mode enforces these parameters, and the EA automatically closes positions when a limit is hit. A daily reset offset allows the protection cycle to align with the broker's server time. The EA logs protection status events so traders can audit when and why a limit was triggered.
Execution filters
A maximum spread filter blocks entries when trading costs are unusually high, which is particularly relevant for gold during volatile sessions. An optional news filter suspends trading before and after scheduled high-impact events. Both filters reduce the chance of entering under adverse conditions but do not prevent slippage or requotes entirely.
Setup notes
Installation follows the standard MT5 EA procedure: place the .ex5 file in the MQL5/Experts folder, attach it to an XAUUSD M5 chart, and enable automated trading. Because the EA relies on a neural network, no external indicators or DLLs are required. The developer's default settings are intended as a starting point; traders should review the risk level and protection limits before going live.
Account compatibility
The EA supports hedging accounts rather than netting. This is important when choosing a broker, as some prop firms and brokers default to netting. ECN or Raw accounts are listed as compatible, and the spread filter can help with wider-spread account types, but execution quality still depends on the broker's liquidity.
Before you run it live
The vendor's signal shows a 125.54% growth over 18 weeks with a reported 9.6% maximum drawdown and 98.8% profitable trades. These figures come from a single live signal with leverage 1:500 and a $500 deposit. The vendor attributes them to the EA's selective trading style, but such results are not representative of all market conditions. Traders should test the EA on a demo account for several weeks, including both trending and ranging gold markets, before committing real capital.
Because the EA can hold up to four positions simultaneously, the maximum exposure is not just one stop-loss level. The daily loss limit and total drawdown controls are essential for preventing a cluster of losses from exceeding a trader's risk tolerance. The developer states that the EA is prop-firm compatible, but traders must verify that its settings meet the specific rules of their chosen firm, including daily drawdown, consistency, and holding-time requirements.
