What is Gold EA Pulse?
Gold EA Pulse is a fully automated Expert Advisor (trading robot) for MetaTrader 5 and MetaTrader 4 that trades XAUUSD (gold). It uses a proprietary signal engine with two entry modes, holds one position at a time by default and includes prop-firm-style daily loss and maximum drawdown protection.
Does Gold EA Pulse use martingale or grid?
No. Gold EA Pulse does not use martingale, grid or averaging. It opens one position at a time by default and never adds to a losing trade.
Which timeframe and symbol should I use?
Attach the EA to an XAUUSD (gold) chart on the M5 timeframe. A raw or low-spread account is recommended.
What is the minimum deposit?
The recommended minimum is 200 USD with 1:100 leverage or higher, trading 0.01 lot. Use a stop loss on small accounts.
Can I use Gold EA Pulse for a prop firm challenge?
Yes. It has built-in daily loss and maximum drawdown limits, a news filter on MT5, Friday close and maximum spread filters. A common setup is a 4% daily limit for a 5% firm rule and an 8% max drawdown for a 10% firm rule. Always check your firm's current rules on third-party EAs first.
Is there a stop loss by default?
No fixed stop loss or take profit is set by default, so losing trades can stay open until they recover, which can lead to larger floating losses. Turn on Use Stop Loss for prop firm challenges and small accounts.
What is the difference between the MT5 and MT4 versions?
Both use the same signal engine and risk controls. The MT5 version adds a news filter based on the built-in MT5 Economic Calendar and works on hedging and netting accounts. The MT4 version uses trading-hours and trading-days filters to avoid news.
Can I try it for free?
Yes. Both versions have a free demo on the MQL5 Market that you can run in the MetaTrader Strategy Tester. Use 'Every tick based on real ticks' for the most accurate backtest.
Where can I see live results?
Both versions run on public demo accounts tracked by FX Blue. The live-results page embeds the charts and links to the full statistics.
Do I need a VPS?
A VPS is recommended so the EA can run 24 hours a day, five days a week without your computer being on. The MetaTrader built-in virtual hosting works well.
How many computers can I use it on?
Each purchase or rental includes 10 activations through the MQL5 Market.
