HFT Spike EA is an MT5 expert advisor built for gold (XAUUSD). It watches for sudden volatility bursts on M1 data and enters a trade when the price action after the spike passes its filters, with adjustable risk and an optional prop firm daily loss mode.

HFT Spike EA is an MT5 expert advisor designed specifically for gold. It looks for abrupt bursts of volatility on XAUUSD and, if the price behaviour after the burst meets its filters, it opens a short-lived position and manages it automatically.
The advisor reads M1 price data internally, so you do not need to pick a particular chart timeframe. It waits for a sudden move, sometimes called a spike, and then checks how price behaves afterwards. Only when those filters pass does it send an order. By default it holds one position at a time, and trades are usually held for a short period, which is why it is classed as scalping.
Once a position has been open for a while, the EA reviews it. A position in profit can be closed at market to bank the gain. A position showing a loss can have its take profit moved to the breakeven point, so a small recovery allows a flat exit. This does not remove the chance of a loss, because price may keep moving against the trade.
The EA avoids sending orders around daily market closes and late on Fridays. New entries stop after 20:00 UTC on Friday, and open positions are force-closed at 23:45 UTC. Broker server time can differ from UTC, so check how your broker's clock relates to these times.
Risk is chosen from a panel on the chart. The lot size for each new trade follows the selected risk level. Check the input tab for the full list in your copy, as this table covers only the main controls.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Risk level (chart panel) | Six choices: 2%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 40% and 80% of equity |
| Prop firm mode | Blocks new trades once combined daily loss would reach the threshold |
| Daily loss threshold | Preset choices of 2% or 5%, or a custom value such as 4% through the inputs |
| Magic number | Separates this EA's trades from other strategies on the account |
In prop firm mode the EA records day-start equity and counts losses from manual trades and all other EAs on the account, not just its own. After a losing trade it does not re-enter for the rest of that day, and a red warning appears on the chart when entries are paused.
Higher risk levels, such as 20%, 40% or 80% of equity, can cause very large drawdowns and can empty an account quickly. Start at the lowest level and move up only after careful demo testing.
Trading leveraged instruments such as gold carries a high level of risk, and you can lose some or all of your capital. Past results, including any back tests, do not predict future ones. Spreads, slippage and execution speed on your own broker will affect outcomes.

Attach it to an XAUUSD (gold) chart in MT5. The chart timeframe does not matter, because the strategy reads M1 data internally. Check that your broker's gold symbol name matches the market watch entry you open the chart from.
No. This product is an MT5 expert advisor and cannot be loaded in MetaTrader 4. You need an MT5 terminal and an account that offers a gold symbol.
The default inputs are intended to match the configuration the author tested, so you can start by choosing a risk level in the chart panel. Review the inputs before trading live, and test on a demo account first, especially if your broker quotes gold differently.
It includes a prop firm mode that tracks day-start equity and stops opening new trades when the combined daily loss on the account would reach the threshold you set. Enter the limit that matches your firm's rules and confirm with the firm that automated trading is allowed. The mode is a safeguard, not a guarantee of passing any challenge.
The author states that most brokers work and that leverage is flexible, but spreads, execution speed and symbol naming vary between brokers. Check the minimum balance for your leverage and the contract size on your account, and test on demo before going live.
By default it is described as a single-position, trend-style scalper without martingale. Open the input list to see which optional behaviours your copy offers, and keep any optional grid-style setting switched off unless you understand the added exposure.
