Cepheus is an MT5 expert advisor built for XAUUSD that combines two separate engines, a trend and breakout engine and a swing-structure engine, with broker-side stops and a news filter based on the built-in economic calendar.

Cepheus is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades gold (XAUUSD). Rather than relying on one entry model, it runs two independent engines inside a single EA, each with its own entry rules, filters and trade management.
The two engines look for different kinds of price behaviour, so they can be used together or on their own.
This engine is built around trend and momentum. It looks for strong intraday expansion and structural breakouts, and it uses volume and volatility confirmation to avoid entries during quiet or choppy conditions. It also applies its own spread and execution checks.
This engine works from broader market structure. It looks for trend cycles and swing-based entries, applies several layers of confirmation, and manages open trades with an adaptive trailing stop. It has separate volatility and execution filters.
Orders are sent with a stop loss and take profit set on the broker's server. Before the EA modifies a stop or trailing level, it checks the broker's stops level and freeze level, which helps avoid rejected modifications when gold moves quickly.
The EA is made for XAUUSD only. Gold symbols differ between brokers, so attach it to the exact symbol your broker offers. The author describes testing on tick data from several RAW or ECN style accounts. The recommended chart timeframe is not given here, so check the user manual and confirm behaviour on a demo account.
Exact input names and defaults may change between releases, so check the inputs tab of the version you download. The main groups are:
| Group | What to check |
|---|---|
| Engine selection | Enable or disable Discipline and Loyalty separately |
| Risk mode | Automatic risk preset, custom risk percentage or fixed lot size |
| Risk allocation | By default the budget is split between engines at a ratio of 3 to 1 in favour of Loyalty; it moves to the remaining engine if one is off |
| News filter | Pausing new trades around major USD events and removing pending orders before them |
| Holiday filter | Bank holiday protection, as described in the manual |
The news filter uses the MetaTrader 5 economic calendar directly, so no WebRequest permission or third-party service is involved. It can pause new entries around events such as Non-Farm Payrolls, CPI, FOMC and Federal Reserve rate decisions. A bank holiday filter is also included.
Trading carries risk and you can lose part or all of your deposit. Past results, backtests and live signals do not predict future performance. Stop losses may be filled at a worse price during gaps or fast markets. Test on a demo account and choose a risk level you can afford.

No reviews yet. Customers who own Cepheus can review it here.
No. This product is written for MetaTrader 5 and will not load in MetaTrader 4. You need an MT5 terminal and an account that offers gold.
Cepheus is designed for XAUUSD. Brokers name gold differently, for example with a suffix, so attach it to the chart of the gold symbol your broker provides. The author developed it with RAW or ECN style accounts in mind, so check spreads and execution on a demo account first. Also confirm that your account type, hedging or netting, is compatible by reading the user manual.
No. Discipline and Loyalty can be enabled separately. If one is turned off, the risk budget is moved to the engine that remains active. Because guidance on which engine to run may change over time, read the current user manual and test your chosen setup on a demo account before using real money.
No. The news filter reads the economic calendar that is already built into MetaTrader 5, so no WebRequest address, API key or outside news service is needed. Your terminal and broker must still provide calendar data.
Copy the files into the MQL5 folder through File, Open Data Folder, restart or refresh the Navigator, then drag Cepheus onto an XAUUSD chart. Make sure Algo Trading is switched on and that automated trading is allowed in the EA properties.
No. Trading carries risk, losses can exceed expectations, and past results, including any published signals, do not predict future ones. Test on demo and size positions conservatively.
