HFT Gold Scalper is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades gold against the US dollar. It is built for people who want a system that opens positions often, rather than waiting for a handful of setups each month.
The EA reads recent price data and combines moving price averages, open-high-low-close values and the current bid and ask. From that it decides when to enter a short-term trade on XAUUSD. Exits are handled with the Average True Range (ATR), so stop-loss and take-profit distances can follow the volatility of the market instead of staying fixed.
Once a trade is open, the EA can move the stop to breakeven and apply a trailing stop. These functions are controlled through inputs, so you decide how tightly profits are protected and how much room a trade gets.
The product is aimed at gold, symbol XAUUSD. Brokers name the instrument differently, so confirm the exact symbol in your Market Watch before attaching the EA. The listing says other assets can be optimised and traded, but that requires your own testing. A timeframe is not specified, so test the ones you intend to use and compare spreads, commissions and execution quality, which matter a great deal for scalping.
The main inputs are listed below. Default values are not given here, so read them in the input window and check them in the Strategy Tester.
| Input | Purpose |
|---|---|
| SMAPeriod | Length of the moving average used in the entry logic |
| StopLoss | Distance of the protective stop |
| ProfitTarget | Distance of the take-profit level |
| TrailingStop | Trailing distance once a trade is in profit |
| MoveSL2BE | Moves the stop to breakeven after a set gain |
| mmRiskPercent | Percentage of the account risked per trade |
| mmDecimals | Lot size rounding precision |
| mmLotsIfNoMM | Fixed lot size when money management is off |
| mmMaxLots | Upper limit on position size |
Gold changes character from one period to the next, so the input values that suit one month may not suit the next. Run an optimisation on recent data, test the chosen values on a separate period, and repeat at regular intervals. Choose settings for your own risk tolerance and account size.
Trading carries risk, and you can lose some or all of your capital. Past results, including any backtest, do not predict future ones. Frequent scalping on gold is sensitive to spread, slippage and execution speed, so test on a demo account first.
If you plan to use a prop firm account, check the firm's rules on automated trading before you start.

No. This is an MT5 expert advisor and will not run on MetaTrader 4. You need an MT5 terminal and an account that offers a gold symbol.
The EA is designed for gold, XAUUSD. Some brokers add a suffix or use a different name such as GOLD, so check your Market Watch list. The listing does not fix a timeframe, so test the timeframes you plan to use in the Strategy Tester and compare the results before choosing one.
Yes, that is the recommended approach. Market ranges and volatility change, so no single set of inputs suits every period or account. Run optimisations on recent data, repeat them at regular intervals, and choose values that match the risk you are willing to take.
Technically it can run on any MT5 account that permits expert advisors, but you must check the firm's rules on automated trading, trade frequency, drawdown limits and holding times. Test on a demo account first to see how the EA behaves under those limits.
In MT5 choose File, then Open Data Folder, and open MQL5 and then Experts. Copy the EA file there, restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator, drag the EA onto an XAUUSD chart, and enable Algo Trading in the toolbar and the EA properties.
The listing describes risk management as the basis, with a stop loss and ATR-based exits rather than martingale methods. Check the input values yourself in the tester and on a demo account to confirm the behaviour matches what you expect.
