GoldHFT is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 4 that trades gold against the US dollar (XAUUSD). It is designed to act quickly, opening and closing positions at a higher frequency than most automated systems, and it includes filters aimed at keeping it stable when spreads widen.
The author describes the EA as using a small neural network to look for short-term patterns in gold price data. The exact internal rules are not published in detail, so you should judge it by how it behaves in testing rather than by its description alone. In fast markets, such as around news releases, it may open several trades in a short period. In quiet conditions it is meant to wait for smaller price movements before acting.
Because the approach depends on small price differences, the cost of trading matters a great deal. Spread, commission, slippage and execution speed can change results noticeably from one broker to another.
The EA is built for XAUUSD only. Open it on a gold chart from your broker, and check whether your broker uses a different symbol name, for example with a prefix or suffix. Check the recommended chart timeframe and any account requirements with the author before you start, as these are not fixed here.
The inputs let you control when and how the EA trades. The main groups are listed below. Names and default values may differ between releases, so read the input tab in your terminal.
| Setting | Purpose | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum spread | Stops new trades when the spread is too wide | Author suggests about two to three times your normal spread |
| Internal spread | Replaces the live spread with a fixed value in calculations | Set to your usual spread if your broker quotes unstable spreads |
| Use internal spread | Switches the internal spread on or off | Useful when spreads fluctuate or turn negative |
| Trading days | Limits which weekdays are active | Test with and without days that behave differently on your broker |
| Trading hours | Limits the time of day for trading | Use your broker server time, not your local time |
| Profit targets | Closes trades at a percentage or a set amount in account currency | Match to your account size and lot size |
Gold is volatile, and a high-frequency system can place many trades, which increases exposure to costs and to sudden moves. Always test on a demo account first, then use a small live size if you decide to continue. Review your lot size and the maximum loss you can accept before enabling the EA.
Trading carries risk and you can lose more than you expect. Backtest figures and past results do not predict future ones, and this EA does not guarantee any outcome.
For continuous operation, many traders run MT4 on a VPS close to the broker server, which can reduce latency and prevent interruptions.

This listing is the MT4 edition and will not load in MetaTrader 5. The author also publishes a separate MT5 edition. If you buy the MT4 edition, the author suggests running backtests in the MT5 tester for more accurate historical data, so it is worth checking both before going live.
You need a broker that offers gold as XAUUSD (some brokers add a suffix to the symbol) and keeps spreads low and stable. High-frequency systems are sensitive to spread, slippage and execution speed, so test on a demo account with your broker first and check whether scalping style trading is allowed.
The author recommends setting the maximum spread to roughly two to three times the normal spread shown on the EA panel. For brokers whose spread jumps around, set the internal spread to your usual spread and enable the option to use it. Treat these as starting points and adjust them after demo testing.
Yes. The inputs allow you to choose which days of the week and which times of the day the EA is active. This is useful for avoiding rollover hours or periods when your broker widens spreads.
Copy the expert advisor file into the MQL4/Experts folder through File, Open Data Folder in MT4, then restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator. Open an XAUUSD chart, drag the EA onto it, and make sure automated trading is switched on in the toolbar and in the EA properties.
No. No automated system can guarantee results. Trading leveraged instruments such as gold carries a high level of risk, and past results, including backtests, do not predict future ones.
