You switch it on. It trades.
You don't watch the chart
It watches gold and opens a basket only when it finds its moment. Otherwise, it waits.
Baskets that close fast
The typical basket stayed open 8 minutes; 82% closed in under an hour.
Bad day, estimated in advance
Your profile sets a stop's estimated cost. It sits out Fed and payroll days.
The lot grows with you
Gains raise the next baskets' lot; losses lower it. Same lot on every entry, no martingale.

The numbers grow because the lot follows your balance: that is compounding. In 2025 and 2026 it met strong moves in gold: exceptional years, not a rate to project.
Weak years: 2021 and 2022, with gold going sideways: +23% and +7% on Moderate, with drawdowns of up to 27%.
- 6 of 2,028 baskets hit their stop and 16 closed near breakeven. Live, stops can come more often; a gap makes one cost more.

You choose how much to risk
| profile | one stop costs | 2025: return / drawdown |
|---|---|---|
| Conservative | ≈10% | +229% / 11% |
| Moderatedefault | ≈15% | +586% / 20% |
| Balanced | ≈21% | +1,070% / 29% |
| Aggressive | ≈26% | +2,342% / 35% |
| Maximum | ≈31% | +6,365% / 41% |
Start on Conservative. After a month live, if it behaves as expected, step up. On a gap, a stop can cost more.

Questions before you buy
Is it martingale? A grid?
A grid: a basket is a group of entries with the same lot, and every basket has a stop. No martingale: the lot only grows with your balance, never after a loss.
Is the stop on the broker's server?
No. The EA closes the basket at market, so MetaTrader must stay on while a basket is open (VPS recommended). On a Monday gap, the exit can be worse.
Does it work with prop firms?
Yes, with a fixed lot: 0.02 on 5,000 USD, 0.40 on 100,000, and the drawdown protection in "close and stop" mode at 4.5%. Check that your firm allows grids and hedging.
Can I run it alongside other EAs?
Yes. Give it its own magic number and calculate the lot on a fixed amount: the slice of the account you give this EA.
Will my test match yours?
Close, with real ticks. Your broker's spread, commission, swap and time zone change the result, and a live account adds latency and slippage.
Can I test before buying?
Yes: run the free demo on 2025 and 2026 in the Strategy Tester, or rent it for 1 month during the launch. The Market has no refunds. The price rises with sales, never by date.
Test it in your own MetaTrader before you pay.
The free demo runs in the Strategy Tester, on your broker's data.
