● EA Overview

YY Gold Scal Gunslinger (Gold Gunslinger) MT5is a fully automated trading tool that, on the gold (XAU/USD) market, was discovered and systematized through next-generation AI statistical analysis, applying a breakout technique.It only takes positions based on strict rules after thorough verification of eight and a half years of real market data (real ticks) where a reproducible edge was identified.

The design philosophy of this EA is to mechanically take bigger profits from rising price moves and exit with small losses when moves do not extend.

The concept is to maximize profits on trends that move, while retreating with small losses when momentum fades.

By eliminating the common risk of small profits followed by large losses typical of high-win-rate scalper EAs, it achieves high win rate with medium-frequency trading while controlling drawdown.

● Rules for EA price revision

This EA is planned to be price-increased stepwise after selling a certain quantity.We recommend purchasing early.

The ultimate target price is 150,000 JPY.

● Basic Specs

Gold (XAU/USD) tends to attract funds in risk-off environments from investors worldwide as a safe asset while also being affected by inflation hedging, geopolitical risks, and central bank policies, with multiple supply-demand factors interacting simultaneously. This makes it a unique instrument.

As a result, it exhibits large volatility and clear directional moves not seen in other currency pairs. This EA delves into these gold-specific movement patterns and is built on an edge validated by long-term data of over eight years.

It stands apart from ideas based on indicators alone, with a focus on the economic rationale of “why it moves here.” This is the strategy’s basis.

● Benefits

1. High Profit Factor (3.96) and Recovery Factor (31.63)
Also records a Sharpe Ratio of 20.57, indicating profit stability. The design cuts losses early and grows profits, ensuring a steadily rising equity curve.

2. Controlled Drawdown (about 9% max)
Over 8.5 years of operation, max drawdown remains about 9% of equity. Loss per trade is kept small, minimizing psychological burden for ongoing operation.

3. Ability to capture moves in both directions Does not preset directional bias; targets opportunity on both up and down moves to reduce missed opportunities from wrong directional assumptions.

4. Simple risk management without Martingale or Averaging
No high-risk averaging or Martingale logic is used to secure near-term profits; reduces risk of catastrophic account drawdown.

5. High win rate (over 90%) with small losses and trailing take-profit
Uses trailing to extend profits on strong trends rather than fixed take-profit lines, harmonizing high win rate with momentum profits.

6. Clear operational panel + One-click management
Dashboard shows running status (RUNNING/STOPPED), monthly P/L, monthly win rate, etc. A single "ENTRY LINE ALL CLEAR" button resets pending orders, enabling easy resumption.

Stable accumulation of 20–25 trades per month and Controlled Drawdown are its strengths. It’s a risk-conscious, reproducible EA.

● Demerits and Countermeasures — Please read

To help you understand the EA’s characteristics correctly, we honestly describe its drawbacks.
Understanding the drawbacks in advance helps prevent incorrect actions due to unexpected floating losses.

Drawback ①: Performance can lag in ranges with little directional movement

Reality:This EA profits by capturing price momentum, so range-bound markets with little direction are a clear weakness and can show lag in long-lasting periods. In the 9-year testing period, only 2018 showed negative annual performance, a year when gold overall lacked direction. From 2019 onward, gold’s chart did not show range-bound behavior, enabling larger profits.

Mitigation:

• Position this EA as part of a portfolio, running concurrently with other currency pairs and other EAs to smooth overall performance and opportunities.
• If range-bound markets continue for months, consider pausing the EA.
• Operate with a “waiting for trades” long-term investment mindset.
• Evaluate over a 6–12 month horizon.

Drawback ②: Execution quality of the broker can heavily influence results

Reality:Trading at about 20–25 trades per month, catching momentum and executing entries and exits quickly, requires brokers with low spreads and fast execution; otherwise performance cannot be realized.

Mitigation:

• Use ECN/RAW spread brokers with solid execution quality.
• Before going live, test on a demo or small live account to verify your broker’s fill quality (slippage, etc.).

● Who this EA is suited for

● Those interested in leveraging GOLD’s unique volatility
● Those who dislike dangerous capital-management methods like Martingale
● Those who prefer a steady, roughly 20–25 trades per month accumulation of small profits
● Those seeking a stable equity curve while limiting drawdown
● Those interested in portfolio trading with multiple EAs

● Who this EA is not suited for

● Those who want to multiply funds in a short period
● Those who want to run the EA without ever monitoring its status
● Those who would stop trading at the first floating loss
● Those who expect to remain profitable in range markets at all times

● About EA parameters (GMT settings)

This EA recalculates SR (support/resistance) re-evaluation timing based on your broker’s GMT offset. Because server time differs by broker, please manually enter your broker’s current GMT offset into the parameter Gunslinger_GMTOffsetHours.

(Example: for XMTrading, enter 3 during daylight saving time and 2 during standard time. Please ensure accuracy.)

At the timing of broker daylight saving changes, please reassess this value.

GMT is the only EA parameter that generally does not require changes. You may adjust the magic number and lot size yourself.

● Disclaimer

• Backtest results are based on historical data and do not guarantee future profits.
• FX/CFD trading involves price variation risk and potential principal loss.
• We recommend trying on a demo account first and starting live trading with low margin at first.
