Thank you for viewing.Please read through to the end, and we would be grateful if you consider purchasing.
● EA Overview
YY Gold Scal Gunslinger (Gold Gunslinger) MT5is a fully automatic trading tool that is discovered and structured using“an application of breakout method”through statistical analysis by next-generation AI.
It has been thoroughly tested on actual market data (real ticks) from 2018 to 2026 for over 8.5 years, and only in situations where reproducible edge was confirmed will it take positions based on strict rules.
The design philosophy of this EA isto maximize profits from rising price movements and mechanically exit with small losses when movements fail to rise..
By thoroughly eliminating the risks typical of high-win-rate scalping EAs that steadily eat profits, it achieves high win rate and medium-frequency trading while controlling drawdown.

Gold (XAU/USD) is a safe asset that investors around the world move funds to in risk-off conditions and as a hedge against inflation, geopolitical risks, and central bank policies,and multiple demand-supply factors interactin a complex way.It is a special asset with unique price movements.As a result, other currency pairs do not exhibit the same volatility and directional price action repeatedly. This EA is designed on this
peculiar price movement pattern of the gold marketand is built on an edge confirmed by long-term data of more than 8 years.
It is a strategy that avoids reliance on indicators and biases, focusing on the economic rationale for “why it moves there.”It emphasizes the economic basis behind price movements.
● Backtest results (2018–2026)
Metric Value Test period January 2018 – July 2026 (about 8.5 years) Initial margin / Lot ¥1,000,000 /Fixed 0.1 lot Net profit +¥2,961,839 (+296.18%) Profit factor 3.96 Recovery factor 31.63 Sharpe ratio 20.57 Max drawdown on margin 93,644 yen (9%) Win rate 90.24% Total trades (8.5 years) 2,306 trades (about 22.6 per month) Average P/L per trade +¥1,284 Max consecutive wins / losses 59 wins in a row (+¥654,043) / 5 consecutive losses (-¥17,151) Annual positive achievement rate During 9 years of testing, 8 years were positive
These figures are not the result of overfitting by tuning parameters to a specific period,but demonstrate the reproducibility of genuine edge over a long 8.5-year horizon.
Also, the AutoLot feature (AutoLot) has been tested on USD and JPY accounts. For other currency accounts, fixed lot operation is recommended.
● Benefits
1. High profit factor (3.96) and high recovery factor (31.63)
The Sharpe ratio also records 20.57, indicating profit stability. The design cuts losses early and lets profits run, enhancing the upward trajectory of the equity curve.
2. Controlled drawdown (about 9% max)
Even over 8.5 years of operation, maximum drawdown is kept around 9% of equity. Loss per trade is minimized to reduce psychological burden and maintain operation.
3. No guessing direction; captures both up and down moves It does not predefine whether price will go up or down, and seeks opportunities in both directions simultaneously to reduce opportunity risk from misreading direction.
4. Simple risk management without martingale or grid averaging
Does not employ high-risk averaging or martingale logic to secure near-term profits. Risks of account collapse from a single large loss are avoided.
5. High win rate (over 90%) × small losses, trailing take-profit
Does not rely on a fixed take-profit line; uses trailing to extend profits during strong trends. Combines high win rate with adequate profit growth when trends continue.
6. Clear operating status panel + one-click management
A dashboard panel on the chart shows running/Stopped status, monthly P/L, monthly win rate, etc. The “ENTRY LINE ALL CLEAR” button resets pending orders with one click, enabling a fresh restart smoothly.
Stable accumulation about 20–25 trades per monthandControlled drawdownare its strengths. A reproducible EA that builds profits steadily without rushing.
● Disadvantages and countermeasures – must read
To understand the EA characteristics correctly, we truthfully communicate the disadvantages as well.
Understanding the disadvantages beforehand helps prevent incorrect operations due to unexpected drawdowns.
Disadvantage 1: Performance stalls in ranging markets with little direction
Actual:This EA profits by capturing price momentum, so range markets with little direction are clear weaknesses, and performance can lag in prolonged phases. In the 9-year testing period, only 2018 had negative annual performance, a year when gold overall lacked direction. Since 2019, gold charts have not shown a ranging market, enabling large profits.
Mitigation/Remediation:
- Position this EA as part of a portfolio and run it alongside other currency pairs/other EAs to standardize overall opportunities and results.
- If ranging markets continue for several months, consider stopping the EA.
- Operate with a “wait-and-see” long-term investment mindset.
- Please evaluate over a 6 months to 1 year horizon.
Disadvantage 2: Broker execution quality can heavily affect results
Actual:With a pace of about 20–25 trades per month, capturing momentum and executing entries/closings quickly requires brokers with tight spreads and fast execution; otherwise, performance cannot be realized.
Mitigation/Remediation:
- Use ECN or RAW spread brokers with a proven execution quality.
- Before live deployment, test on a demo or small live account to verify slippage and fill quality.
● Who this EA is suitable for
● People interested in exploiting gold-specific volatility
● Those who dislike dangerous money management techniques like martingale
● Those who prefer steady incremental profits at a pace of about 20–25 trades per monthand value consistent profit accumulation.
● Those seeking a stable equity curve with controlled drawdown
● Those interested in portfolio trading by combining multiple EAs
● Who this EA is not suitable for
● People who want to multiply funds in a short period
● People who want to operate the EA completely unattended without monitoring
● People who stop operation at the moment a temporary drawdown appears
● People who expect the range market to be always positive
● About EA parameters (GMT setting)
This EA recalculates SR (support/resistance) re-evaluation timing based on your broker’s GMT offset. Since server times differ by broker,please manually enter your broker’s current GMT offset in the input parameter Gunslinger_GMTOffsetHours.
(Example: for XMTrading, enter 3 during daylight saving time and 2 during standard time. Please ensure there are no setting mistakes.)
Please review this value whenever your broker switches between daylight saving and standard time.
Other EA parameters besides GMT generally do not require changes. Please adjust the magic number or lot size on your own.
● Disclaimers
- Backtest results are based on historical data and do not guarantee future profits.
- FX/CFD trading involves price fluctuation risk and may result in loss of principal.
- We recommend starting with a demo account first, and even in live trading, begin with a low margin.
- (Even if there is a defect in the EA) the developer bears no responsibility for damages arising from its use.
● Appendix (AutoLot [High 2.0%] settings backtest results)
As a reference, we publish backtest results for the same period using AutoLot [High 2.0%] instead of fixed lot.Drawdown peaks at maximum 35%, but total profit exceeds +94,000%, which is a remarkable result..
When using AutoLot, it is recommended to start from Low and move to Medium and High as the performance stabilizes (the author suggests Medium rather than High).

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)
