Challenge Crusher is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades gold. It reads the direction of an exponential moving average, opens a position with it, and can add further positions at set distances if price moves the other way, within limits that you control.
The EA first determines trend direction from an EMA. You choose the period and the timeframe the average is calculated on. When the filter points up or down, it opens an initial position at the entry distance you define. If price then moves against that trade by the step distance, it can open another position, with the lot size increased by a multiplier. Positions are closed using a take-profit distance measured in points.
This is a scaling approach with martingale characteristics. It aims to recover from adverse moves by adding size, which means losses can build faster than gains when a trend fails to resume. The built-in limits exist to restrain that behaviour, not to remove it.
You can restrict the EA to trades that follow the EMA trend, or allow it to trade both directions. Allowing both directions changes the risk profile, so test each mode separately.
The EA is aimed at XAUUSD and is intended to run on the M1 chart. Gold can move sharply and spreads can widen around news or rollover, which affects a system that scales into losing trades. Confirm your broker's gold symbol name, contract size and typical spread before use.
The main inputs are shown below. The defaults listed are the commonly stated starting values; confirm the actual numbers in the inputs tab after loading the EA, as your broker's gold contract may call for different sizing.
| Input | Starting value | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Initial lot | 0.01 | Size of the first position |
| Multiplier | 1.5 | Lot growth for each added position |
| Max positions | 5 | Cap on open positions in a sequence |
| Daily loss limit | 4.5% | Stops new activity once the daily loss is reached |
| TP points | 250 | Take-profit distance |
| Session filter | London and New York | Limits trading hours |
| EMA period and timeframe | Check inputs | Defines the trend filter |
| Entry and step points | Check inputs | Distances for the first trade and added trades |
Raising the multiplier or the position cap increases exposure sharply. A daily loss limit helps, but it works on the account values the EA can see, and slippage or gaps can push a loss past the level you set. If you use the EA on a funded or challenge account, read that firm's rules on drawdown, news trading and automated systems.
Trading carries risk, and past results do not predict future ones. Martingale-style scaling can lead to large losses. Test on a demo account first and only trade with money you can afford to lose.
Run it on a demo account for a meaningful period before using real funds, and check that the lot sizes and the daily limit behave as you expect with your broker.

No. This product is an MT5 expert advisor and will not load in MetaTrader 4. You need an MT5 terminal and an account that offers gold.
The tool is built for gold, with XAUUSD on the M1 chart as the intended setup. Broker symbol names differ (for example a suffix or the name GOLD), so attach it to your broker's gold symbol and check the inputs tab.
In MT5 choose File, then Open Data Folder, and copy the expert file into MQL5/Experts. Refresh the Navigator or restart the terminal, drag the EA onto a gold chart, and make sure Algo Trading is switched on.
It adds positions after price moves against an open trade and sizes them with a multiplier, which is a martingale-style approach. A cap on positions and a daily loss limit restrict this, but the exposure can still grow quickly if you raise those values.
The daily loss limit and position cap are tools you set, but they cannot ensure compliance with any firm's rules, which differ and can change. Read your firm's conditions, including its drawdown and EA policies, and test on a demo account first.
No fixed minimum is stated here. Lot size, multiplier and position cap all affect margin needs, so work out the requirement for your broker's gold contract on a demo account before going live.
