How it trades

The same three steps, every time. Nothing is added after a loss.

  1. 1
    Reads the gold chart

    Runs on XAUUSD and on broker gold symbols such as XAUUSDm or GOLD.

    XAUUSDXAUUSDmGOLD

  2. 2
    Takes one entry

    A single, one shot entry with a real stop loss and take profit already set.

  3. 3
    Manages and closes

    Management follows the profile you choose, with optional break even and trailing.

What it never does

  • Open a grid of positions
  • Multiply the lot after a loss
  • Open recovery trades
  • Hedge against its own trades
  • Average down a losing position

Grid and recovery systems can look smooth for months, then lose a large part of an account in one bad move.

Seven protections, built in

Each one can pause the EA on its own. You set them to match your account and your risk.

  • Equity protection

    Watches the whole account equity, not only the open trade.

    Protection levelBalanceEquity

    It counts every open trade on the account, so other EAs on the same account can trigger it too.

  • Daily loss limit

    Stops new trades for the day once the loss you set is reached.

  • Daily profit target

    Stops trading for the day once your target is reached.

  • High-impact news filter

    Stays out around the news that moves gold the most. On by default.

  • Spread protection

    Skips the entry when the spread is too wide.

  • Daily market-close protection

    Avoids the thin, jumpy minutes around the daily close.

  • Friday close protection

    Keeps positions from being caught over the weekend.

  • See a protection work

    Pick a moment and watch the panel pause.

    RUNNINGWaiting for a clean entry

One rule above all

Every trade has a real stop loss from the moment it opens.

Running it on a prop firm account

The Prop Scalper profile is built for prop style trading, with more controlled management. Every firm has its own rules, so check yours before you run any EA.

  • A VPS is strongly recommended for stable execution on live and prop accounts.
  • Low spread, low slippage and fast execution make the biggest difference.
  • The on-chart panel shows what the EA is doing at every moment.

Before a challenge, check that your firm allows EAs, allows news trading and has no rule against copied strategies.

Set up in four steps

Tick each step as you go

  1. Licences and payments are handled by MQL5.
  2. Straight from the Market tab.
  3. Or your broker’s gold symbol.
  4. Load the set file, then set lot size, risk and protection.
Attached it and nothing happens?
  • Algo Trading is switched off in MetaTrader 5.
  • It is on a chart that is not your broker’s gold symbol.
  • A protection is pausing it: the panel shows the reason, such as the news filter or spread protection.
  • The daily profit target or loss limit was reached for the day.
  • The market is closed, or close to the daily or Friday close.

Questions

Message on Telegram

Before you buy

Does it use a grid or martingale?

No. It takes one entry with a real stop loss and take profit. It never opens a grid, never multiplies the lot after a loss and never opens recovery trades.

Will my backtest match live results?

Not exactly. Spread, slippage, commission, execution speed, liquidity, VPS quality and the price feed all change results, and the faster profiles feel it more.

Does the demo trade on a live account?

No. The MQL5 demo runs in the MetaTrader 5 strategy tester only. To run it on an account, rent or buy it on MQL5.

Where can I buy it safely?

Only on MQL5. Copies sold anywhere else are not genuine, get no updates and may not be safe to run.

Setup

Can I run it on MT4?

No. Smart Gold Hunter is built for MetaTrader 5 only.

Can I run it from my phone?

No. Expert Advisors run in MetaTrader 5 on a computer or a VPS. The phone app can show your account, but it cannot run the EA.

Which timeframe should I use?

The profile and the EA settings matter more than the chart timeframe. The setup guide shows where to start.

Do I need a VPS?

It is strongly recommended, especially on live and prop firm accounts, so execution stays stable.

Which broker works best?

One with low spread, low slippage, fast execution and stable conditions on gold.

How many accounts can I use it on?

Buying includes 5 activations. Keep track of where you use each one, because reinstalling on a new computer or VPS can use another.

Prop firms

Can I use it on a prop firm account?

There is a Prop Scalper profile for prop style trading. Every firm has its own rules, so check yours before you run any EA.

Set files and updates

How do I get the set files?

Use the buyers’ form on this page with your MQL5 username. The guides, set files and the invite to the buyers’ chat group arrive by email.

Do I need new set files after an update?

Sometimes, yes. Version 6.0 needs the new set files. Buyers on the list get them by email as soon as they are out.

Will anyone ask for my trading password?

You should never share your trading password with anyone. To let someone look at your account, a read-only investor password is enough.
