Pass your prop-firm gold challenge, on the rules it actually enforces.

Yes. Every report is the actual MetaTrader Strategy Tester output for a $100,000 account, run on that firm's own server with its real spread and commission, on XAUUSD. All 24 ship in your download, so you can open the same files and read every trade in them. They are backtests on past data, not a promise of future results.

Because every program was run twice, in two opposite markets, and both runs are on this page. The trending window is 2026 and the choppy window is the second half of 2025, and no setting was changed between them. A curve-fitted system passes one and falls apart in the other. These reached target in both, though the choppy runs took three to five times longer and used far more of the drawdown allowance, which is exactly what an honest result looks like.

No backtest does, and you should assume live is somewhat worse. A tester run has no entry slippage, no requotes and a connection that never drops. That gap is part of why the presets run at 0.5 to 1 percent risk rather than the most the rules would allow, and why the funded presets are the most conservative in the pack. Run it on a demo of your firm's server before the real challenge.

No, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. The market decides. In testing, the six flagship phase-1 programs reached target in 12 to 22 days when gold trended, and 49 to 65 days when it chopped, staying inside the loss limits in both. No EA can guarantee a funded account.

FTMO, Blueberry, The5ers, Funded Trading Plus and Eightcap allow EAs on MetaTrader at no extra charge. FundedNext allows them but sells a paid EA add-on on top of the challenge, and does not permit EAs on its Free Trial or Competition accounts. Firms revise these terms, so confirm on your dashboard before you buy the challenge.

No. The compliant engine holds one position at a time with a hard broker stop-loss on every ticket, and never adds to a losing trade. That is deliberate, because most firms treat grid and martingale as a breach. The single exception is FTMO, which does permit grid, so that edition also includes a separate grid build as a slower survival option. It is a clearly labelled separate file and you never have to use it.

It should not. The engine holds trades for hours, not seconds. Across the reports on this page the average hold runs from one hour 40 minutes to just over three hours, and almost no trade closes inside a minute, which is the threshold firms use to flag scalping. Trade counts are in the dozens across a whole challenge, nowhere near the daily trade or message limits.

That depends on what your firm requires, and each preset already matches its program. Where the firm restricts news on that account type, the preset ships with the news filter on and blocks a window either side of high-impact releases. Where there is no news rule during the challenge, it ships off so you are not sitting out tradeable sessions for nothing.

Technically yes, on separate terminals with each firm's own edition. Before you do, check your firm's position on running identical strategies across multiple accounts and on copy trading between them. Several firms restrict it. That is a rule about your accounts rather than about this EA, so it is worth reading before you scale up.

Treat it as required rather than optional. The EA places a hard stop on every trade and manages it as the market moves, so it has to stay connected. A home computer that sleeps, restarts for an update or drops its connection cannot manage an open position.

Open your firm's folder, pick the folder for the program you bought, and load the file that matches your account size. A START-HERE text file in every edition names the exact file for each program and size, and the PDF manual walks through it. Risk, the daily-loss basis, the reset clock and the max-loss floor are already set for that program.

Load the nearest size below yours. Risk is set as a percentage of the account, so a preset built for 50k behaves correctly on a 60k account and simply runs a little conservative. Sizes cover 5k to 200k for most firms, 10k to 200k for FTMO, and up to 250k for The5ers.

Each edition is built for the symbol that firm actually uses, so the Blueberry edition expects XAUUSD.i and the others expect XAUUSD. Attach the EA to whichever gold chart your terminal shows and set it to the M1 timeframe. If your firm renames a symbol, email support and I will tell you the one setting to change.

No. Loading a preset sets every input. The manual explains what each one does if you want to know, but nothing needs changing, and editing the guard settings is the quickest way to break compliance with your firm's rules.

Because that is where this engine has an edge and where it was actually tested. Gold moves far enough in a day to carry a stop wide enough to survive noise and a target worth taking, and all 24 reports on this page are XAUUSD. Shipping presets for a pair it was never tuned on would be guesswork.

MT5 editions for all six firms, plus MT4 for FundedNext, FTMO and Blueberry. The5ers, Funded Trading Plus and Eightcap no longer offer MT4 on prop accounts, so those are MT5 only. MT4 and MT5 presets are separate files because the two platforms store timeframes differently.

Switch to the FUNDED preset for that firm, which every edition includes. Those run at lower risk, usually 0.5 percent, because on a funded account the job changes from hitting a target to not losing the account. Where a firm restricts news or weekend holding on funded accounts, the funded presets turn those filters on for you.

A few high-speed tiers with a trailing drawdown or a short deadline reached target in the trending window and drew down in the choppy one. FundedNext Fast, and Blueberry 3-Step and Rapid, are the main ones. They are labelled as such, and the guide steers you to the all-weather tiers unless a trend is already under way.

It happens, and it is the reason this is six separate editions rather than one EA with a dropdown. When a firm changes a daily-loss basis, a reset time or a drawdown rule, the affected edition is rebuilt and the new build goes onto the same download page you were given, at no extra charge.

No. The download holds compiled EAs, the presets, the manuals and the tester reports. If you need source for a custom build, that is a separate conversation.

Because this is an instant digital download of compiled software, it is sold as final. That is precisely why 24 full tester reports are on this page instead of a highlight reel. If you are unsure which edition fits your account, email [email protected] before you buy and I will tell you honestly, including if the answer is that it is not a match.
