GOLD(XAUUSD) Exclusive Scalping EA
Aurum Duo
— Gold-only, Bergamot-style scalping EA selectable from M5/M15
Only two settings decide user control: operation mode and stop-loss amount.
We will show 12 years of backtest data, both good and bad numbers, as they are.
⚗️ How Duo works — Choose from two styles: M5 and M15
Use the same logic on the higher-frequency M5 or the steadier M15, and choose which to operate with.
M5 mode
Short-term RSI lower-bound reversal captures fine price distortions at high frequency. Faster responses yield more trading opportunities, but also faster reactions during rapid market moves.
M15 mode
Operate the same logic on a 15-minute chart. The reaction is steadier, and the napkin spacing has more room, with zero forced stop-outs observed over 12 years. More suitable for stability-seekers.
Mode switching is done simply by selecting the input parameter (InpMode). M5 requires installation on a 5-minute chart, and M15 on a 15-minute chart (if settings and chart timeframes do not match, the EA will not start to prevent misoperation).
🖥️ Operational Status Dashboard
Whether an entry is currently possible is visible at a glance on the chart.
When new entries are paused, the red text indicates which filter is causing it—spread, margin maintenance, time, economic indicators, etc. While holding positions, you can also check unrealized profit/loss and the brake amount. This display is for information only and does not affect the buying/selling logic.
🛡️ Safety mechanisms installed
As per the selected mode, the stop-loss amount is automatically applied.
If unrealized losses reach the set amount, the basket for that mode is forcibly settled. M5 has a proven value of 800,000 JPY and M15 650,000 JPY pre-entered as recommended values.
A variable grid that tightens during calm markets and widens automatically during sudden changes, preventing excessive averaging up in crash scenarios.
Detects the rate of decline in two time windows (short-term and long-term) and automatically stops new nap-ins in sharp drops.
If the asset is not gold-type stocks or the chosen mode does not match the chart timeframe, startup is automatically rejected to prevent misoperation.
Buy-only (no hedging). The user adjusts only two items: operation mode and stop-loss amount.
All other parameters are fixed values finalized after 12 years of backtest validation.
📊 Backtest Results (2014.07.01〜2026.07.15, Full 12 years)

Initial margin: 1,000,000 JPY / fixed lot 0.01 (simple interest) / history quality 99%
*The above results assume a 50-point spread filter. Based on forward results, the default value has been changed to 80 points (retesting of the backtest itself has not been performed).
⚠️ About the verification environment (honest disclosure)
This EA uses averaging (nap-in), so trading costs (spreads and swaps) and environment differences can significantly affect performance. The above results were verified in an environment with the lowest possible spread and near-swap-free conditions.
Because the strategy involves many trades, cost differences compound over time. In environments with wider spreads or larger swap burdens, performance may deteriorate beyond the figures above. Please check your own account environment in advance and test with a demo or small lots before use.
🏆 Why Aurum Duo is Chosen

Just like discretionary trading, there are those that decide trading and settlement timings by combining indicators, those that repeatedly buy or sell at certain price (pips) intervals, and trading methods that utilize market anomalies or temporal features. The variety is as rich as the methods in discretionary trading.
To categorize simply,
・Scalping (Type where trades are completed within a few minutes to a few hours),
・Day Trading (Type where trades are completed within several hours to about a day),
・Swing Trading (Type where trades are conducted over a relatively long period of about 1 day to 1 week)
・Grid/Martingale Trading (Holding multiple positions at equal or unequal intervals and settling all once a profit is made. Those that gradually increase the lot number are called Martingale.)
・Anomaly EA (Mid-price trading, early morning scalping)
However, a substantial advantage of automated trading is its ability to limit and predict risks beforehand.
[Risk]
Inherent to forex trading are the trading risks that undeniably exist in automated trading as well.
・Lot Size Risk
Increasing the lot size forcibly due to a high winning rate can, in rare instances, depending on the EA, lead to substantial Pips loss when a loss occurs. It is crucial to verify the SL Pips and the number of positions held before operating with an appropriate lot.
・Rapid Market Fluctuation Risk
There are instances where market prices fluctuate rapidly due to index announcements or unforeseen news. System trading does not account for such unpredictable market movements, rendering it incapable of making decisions on whether to settle in advance or abstain from trading. As a countermeasure, utilizing tools that halt the EA based on indicator announcements or the VIX (fear index) is also possible.
[Benefits]
・Operates 24 hours a day
If there is an opportunity, system trading will execute trades on your behalf consistently. It proves to be an extremely convenient tool for those unable to allocate time to trading.
・Trades dispassionately without being swayed by emotions
There is an absence of self-serving rule modifications, a common human tendency, such as increasing the lot size after consecutive losses in discretionary trading or, conversely, hastily securing profits with minimal gains.
・Accessible for beginners
To engage in Forex trading, there is no prerequisite to study; anyone using system trading will achieve the same results.
[Disadvantages]
・Cannot increase trading frequency at will
Since system trading operates based on pre-programmed conditions, depending on the type of EA, it might only execute trades a few times a month.
・Suitability may vary with market conditions
Depending on the trading type of the EA, there are periods more suited to trend trading and periods more suited to contrarian trading, making consistent results across all periods unlikely. While the previous year might have yielded good results, this year's performance might not be as promising, necessitating some level of discretion in determining whether it is an opportune time to operate.
・MT4 (MetaTrader 4. An account needs to be opened with a Forex company that offers MT4.)
・EA (A program for automated trading)
・The operating deposit required to run the EA
・A PC that can run 24 hours or a VPS (Virtual Private Server), where a virtual PC is hosted on a cloud server to run MT4.
Additionally, there are both demo and real accounts available. You can experience trading with virtual money by applying for a demo account. After opening a real account, you select the connection server assigned by the Forex broker, enter the password, and log in to the account.
When you deposit money into your account using the method specified by the forex broker, the funds will be reflected in your MT4 account, and you can trade.
Firstly, download the purchased EA file from your My Page on GogoJungle. You will download a zip (compressed) file, so right-click to extract it and retrieve the file named ‘◯◯◯ (EA name)_A19GAw09 (any 8 alphanumeric characters).ex4’ from inside.
Next, launch MT4 and navigate to ‘File’ → ‘Open Data Folder’ → ‘MQL4’ → ‘Experts’ folder, and place the ex4 file inside. Once done, close MT4 and restart it. Then, go to the upper menu ‘Tools’ → ‘Options’, and under ‘Expert Advisors’, ensure ‘Allow automated trading’ and ‘Allow DLL imports’ are checked, then press OK to close.
The necessary currency pair and time frame for the correct operation of the EA are specified on the EA sales page. Refer to this information and open the chart of the correct currency pair time frame (e.g., USDJPY5M for a USD/Yen 5-minute chart).
Within the menu navigator, under ‘Expert Advisors’, you will find the EA file name you placed earlier. Click to select it, then drag & drop it directly onto the chart to load the EA. Alternatively, you can double-click the EA name to load it onto the selected chart.
If ‘Authentication Success’ appears in the upper left of the chart, the authentication has been successful. To operate the EA, you need to keep your PC running 24 hours. Therefore, either disable the automatic sleep function or host MT4 on a VPS and operate the EA.
If you want to use it with an account other than the authenticated one, you need to reset the registered account.
To reset the account, close the MT4 where the Web authentication is registered, then go to My Page on GogoJungle > Use > Digital Contents > the relevant EA > press the ‘Reset’ button for the registration number, and the registered account will be released.
When the account is in a reset state, using the EA with another MT4 account will register a new account.
Also, you can reset the account an unlimited number of times.
→ Items to Check When EA is Not Operating
1 lot = 100,000 currency units
0.1 lot = 10,000 currency units
0.01 lot = 1,000 currency units
For USD/JPY, 1 lot would mean holding 100,000 dollars.
The margin required to hold lots is determined by the leverage set by the Forex broker.
If the leverage is 25 times, the margin required to hold 10,000 currency units of USD/JPY would be:
10000*109 (※ at a rate of 109 yen per dollar) ÷ 25 = 43,600 yen.
・Risk-Return Ratio: Total Profit and Loss during the period ÷ Maximum Drawdown
・Maximum Drawdown: The largest unrealized loss during the operation period
・Maximum Position Number: This is the maximum number of positions that the EA can theoretically hold at the same time
・TP (Take Profit): The set profit-taking Pips (or specified amount, etc.) in the EA's settings
・SL (Stop Loss): The set maximum loss pips (or specified amount, etc.) in the EA's settings
・Trailing Stop: Instead of settling at a specified Pips, once a certain profit is made, the settlement SL is raised at a certain interval (towards the profit), maximizing the profit. It is a method of settlement.
・Risk-Reward Ratio (Payoff Ratio): Average Profit ÷ Average Loss
・Hedging: Holding both buy and sell positions simultaneously (Some FX companies also have types where hedging is not allowed)
