Cortex Aurex is a fully automated expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades one instrument: gold, quoted as XAUUSD. It looks for pullbacks inside an existing trend, opens a single position, and manages that position with a fixed stop loss, a trailing stop or take profit, and an early exit rule.
The EA follows the prevailing direction of the gold market and tries to enter after a temporary move against that direction, rather than chasing price at the extreme. Gold is known for quick swings and sharp reversals, so the entry logic and the exit logic are both built to react without manual input.
According to the author, the system holds only one open position at a time and does not average into losing trades or increase lot size after a loss. Confirm this behaviour in the strategy tester with your own inputs.
Use it on XAUUSD only. Broker symbol names vary, so check the exact name in Market Watch before you attach the EA. The chart timeframe is not restricted, although the early-exit check relies on M1 price action. Make sure M1 history is available in your terminal when you test.
Check the full input list in the EA properties window before going live. The areas below are the ones that matter most for this style of system.
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Lot size or risk | Match it to your balance, the stop loss distance and your broker's gold contract size. |
| Stop loss | Confirm it respects your broker's minimum stop level. |
| Exit mode | Choose trailing stop or fixed take profit, and review the related distances. |
| Early exit | See whether the M1 opposite-signal exit can be switched on or off. |
| Trading sessions | Look at spread and rollover times with your broker. |
The author suggests an account with low commissions and stable execution, such as an ECN-type account, and says any leverage is acceptable. A starting balance from 100 USD is mentioned, but your own limits should come first. Spread, slippage and stop levels on gold can differ a lot between brokers, so run a demo test for a meaningful period before using real funds.
Trading gold with leverage carries a high level of risk and you can lose more than you expect. A stop loss does not remove the risk of slippage or gaps. Backtests and public signal results describe the past only, and past results do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account and trade only with money you can afford to lose.

It is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 only. It will not load in MetaTrader 4, because MT4 uses a different file format and trading model.
It is designed for gold, so attach it to XAUUSD. The author states that the chart timeframe is flexible, while the early-exit check uses M1 data internally. Your broker may name the symbol differently, for example with a suffix, so confirm the exact name in Market Watch.
The author describes a single-position approach with no lot averaging or martingale. Even so, check the input list and run the strategy tester on your own broker's data before trading, so you know exactly how it behaves with your settings.
The author reports checks with several well-known brokers, but spreads, stop levels, commissions, execution speed and trading sessions differ between brokers and can change results. Test on a demo account first. If your broker has unusual conditions, ask the author whether an adaptation is possible.
The author suggests a starting balance from 100 USD, but the right size depends on your lot size, stop loss distance and risk tolerance. Check your broker's minimum lot and margin requirements for gold, and do not risk money you cannot afford to lose.
Copy the downloaded file into the Experts folder via File, Open Data Folder, MQL5, Experts in MetaTrader 5. Restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator, drag the EA onto an XAUUSD chart, and enable Algo Trading. The Installation section on this page lists the steps.
