    Economic News & Smart Restrictions

    An integrated economic calendar watches NFP, CPI, FOMC and other high-impact events, with news blackouts, bank holidays and configurable trading sessions.

  5. 05

    Multi-Layer Risk Management

    Account drawdown protection, daily cut-loss limits, cooldown periods, margin monitoring, spread protection and basket exposure controls.

  6. 06

    Interactive Trading Dashboard

    An on-chart dashboard shows balance, equity, baskets, exposure, drawdown, restriction reasons, trends and upcoming events, with one-click controls.

How AI-Powered Trading Works

  1. 1

    Market Monitoring

    Collects and evaluates live gold market information across nine timeframes, including price action, trend indicators, market structure, volatility, and chart data.

  2. 2

    AI Market Intelligence

    Processes market information through the online AI Analysis Engine to evaluate current gold conditions and potential trading opportunities.

  3. 3

    Optional AI-Assisted Execution

    When Trade with AI is enabled, qualifying AI decisions can authorize new basket entries that would otherwise be restricted by standard technical filters.

  4. 4

    Integrated Risk Controls

    AI-assisted execution remains subject to essential account protection, margin checks, spread restrictions, and exposure limits.

Ready-made trading sets

Safe. Balanced. Aggressive.

Pick the starting point that suits your risk preference.

Safe

A more conservative starting point.

  • Slower progressive lot growth
  • Earlier restrictions before major economic news
  • Emphasis on limiting exposure

Balanced

Recommended

The recommended starting set, and the EA's default.

  • Balanced progressive lot settings
  • Standard market filters and restrictions
  • Configured risk protection

Aggressive

For experienced traders who accept higher risk.

  • Faster progressive lot growth
  • More aggressive basket configuration
  • Potentially larger drawdowns

The preset configurations were developed and tested using a $200 cent account with a 0.05 starting lot. Results and suitable lot sizes may vary depending on broker specifications, account conditions, and configuration.

These sets are different risk settings, not guaranteed risk levels. Any of them can experience substantial drawdowns or losses. Adjust the starting lot to your capital and your broker's contract specifications.

Good to know

  • AI Analysis & Trading. AI analysis runs in live and demo environments. AI-assisted trading is disabled by default. Internet and WebRequest access are required. AI analysis is unavailable in Strategy Tester.
  • Continuous Operation. MetaTrader 5 must remain connected for automated trading, basket management, and risk monitoring.
  • Demo Testing. Always test on a demo account before live trading, especially when enabling AI-assisted execution.

ShadowStrikes Gold EA MT5 uses a Grid Martingale strategy with progressive position sizing and a configurable counter-basket. Trading involves substantial risk, including significant drawdowns and potential loss of capital. Risk management mechanisms and AI analysis cannot guarantee profitability, prevent losses, or eliminate trading risk.

FAQ

Questions about Gold EA MT5

Everything you need to know before getting started with ShadowStrikes.

What is a grid / martingale strategy?

It opens further positions as price moves against the existing ones, so the basket's average entry follows price, and each new layer is larger than the last. That raises the chance a basket eventually closes in profit, at the cost of deeper drawdown when a long trend runs against it. This is what ShadowStrikes Gold EA MT5 runs, and you should know it before funding an account.

Do I need a particular type of trading account?

Yes: a cent account with hedging. Cent, because the position sizing is built for a small real balance — on a standard account the same settings risk roughly a hundred times more per trade. Hedging, because the EA holds buy and sell positions at once. The EA verifies hedging but cannot detect a cent account. Confirm both with your broker before buying — plans are non-refundable.

How much capital do I need to start?

From $150 in a cent account it already runs (shown as 15,000 in MetaTrader). We recommend $200 for more breathing room. Whatever you start with, match the position size setting to your balance before going live.

Which symbol and platform?

XAUUSD (Gold) on MetaTrader 5. The symbol is locked in the EA, so it will not run elsewhere. It uses its own magic number and can share an account with other EAs.

Which chart and timeframe should I run it on?

An XAUUSD chart on M1 — the default settings are built for it. You also need Algo Trading switched on, and the license domain allowed in MT5 settings. The installation guide covers both.

What if MetaTrader or my VPS restarts?

It picks its open baskets back up where it left off, rather than starting fresh — cooldowns and peak equity survive the restart too. A stable VPS is strongly recommended: an EA that is offline is not managing your open trades.

How does AI-assisted trading work?

The EA studies live gold conditions across nine timeframes and sends them to the online AI Analysis Engine. AI-assisted trading is optional: Trade with AI is disabled by default. When you enable it, qualifying AI decisions can authorize new basket entries that standard filters would otherwise hold back, and account protection, margin checks, spread limits and exposure limits still apply. AI decisions do not guarantee profitable trades.

Are AI-powered trades included in the backtest results?

No. The AI Analysis Engine works online and cannot run in the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester, so all published backtests were generated without AI-assisted trading. Live results with AI enabled may differ from backtests.

What's the difference between ShadowStrikes and MQL5 Market licensing?

A ShadowStrikes subscription gives you every available ShadowStrikes EA, with MT5 account limits set by your plan, managed in your ShadowStrikes dashboard. An MQL5 Market license covers one EA and follows MQL5's device-based activation rules. Each is purchased and managed separately.

Can I use Gold EA on multiple MT5 accounts?

With a ShadowStrikes subscription, the number of accounts depends on your selected plan, and you can upgrade for more slots. With an MQL5 Market license, usage follows MQL5 licensing and activation rules.
