Net return chains the result of every closed trade; deposits and withdrawals never count as profit. A few weeks of results say little about the long run.

How Giza trades

Two rule-based strategies on one chart, each with its own stop loss. All rules, presets and backtests.

Gold breakout

Follows gold's trends

  • Waits for gold (XAUUSD) to break out of its recent range, only in the direction of the bigger trend.
  • A stop loss from the first second that trails behind the best price. No fixed take profit.
  • Pending orders are removed on Friday evening, so nothing fills on a Monday gap.

Index pullback

Buys short dips in an uptrend

  • S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow 30, Nikkei 225, long only, while each index is in a long-term uptrend.
  • Buys after a short, sharp sell-off and sells once the index has bounced, or after a set number of days.
  • A stop loss on every trade. About 3 trades a month, each held a few days.

Risk controls

Configured in the inputs

  • A stop loss on every trade; the lot is sized from your risk %. Gaps and slippage can make a loss larger.
  • Max-loss safety net (20% by default): at 80% of the limit it closes all trades and stops.
  • Optional daily limit, prop firm presets and a high-impact news lock.
A 30% safety net and a 35.2% drawdown — how both are true. In the Aggressive preset the safety net is static: it sits 30% below the starting balance (100,000 → 70,000 in the test) and acts at 80% of that limit, at 76,000. The 35.2% largest drawdown is measured from the highest equity the account had reached: a 51,398 fall after the account had first grown. The lowest equity in the whole test was 94,670, 5.3% below the start, so the net never came close. A static net does not limit drops from a new high. If a drop of 35% is too much for you, use the Standard or Low Drawdown preset.

The software and setup

An Expert Advisor for the MetaTrader 5 desktop terminal. One chart runs everything.

  1. Buy or rent on MQL5. Log in to your MQL5 account in MetaTrader 5 (Tools → Options → Community).
  2. Install it from the Navigator: Market → Purchased → Install.
  3. Turn on Algo Trading and drag Giza onto any chart. It finds your broker's gold and index symbols by itself.
  4. Pick a preset on the Inputs tab (Load). The default settings are the Standard preset.
  5. Keep MetaTrader running. The EA only trades while the terminal is open; a VPS helps.

Common questions

Does it use a grid or martingale?

No. Every trade has its own stop loss and a lot sized from your risk %. It never adds to a losing trade.

What is the difference between the two tests?

The free demo from MQL5 runs only in the Strategy Tester on past prices. The 14-day trial trades a demo account in real time. Neither trades a real account; for that you need the purchased or rented EA.

Are the results on this site from the same bot?

Yes. The tracked account runs Giza Gold EA 1.10 with the Aggressive preset. Every trade is on the results page. Backtests are shown separately and never added to the tracked record.

How much can I lose?

Each trade risks about the % you set (default 1%), but gaps and slippage can make a loss larger, and losses can come in a row. The safety net closes everything at 80% of its limit. In the backtest the Aggressive preset had a 35.2% equity drawdown, Standard 17.7% and Low Drawdown 12.0%. Only trade money you can afford to lose.

Can I use it on a prop firm challenge?

It has presets for FTMO, FundedNext and The5ers rules. Pick your firm in the inputs and keep the risk at 1% or lower, not the Aggressive preset. Check your firm's current rules yourself; the EA cannot guarantee you pass or keep an account.

What do I need?

The MetaTrader 5 desktop terminal (or a VPS running it), a broker with gold and stock-index CFDs, hedging or netting account. Low index spreads help. A small account may be below the smallest gold lot at normal risk.

How do updates and support work?

Updates are delivered through MQL5. For help, send a private message on MQL5 or email [email protected].
