Solar Crest is a fully automated expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades gold (XAUUSD) on the M15 chart. It looks for the direction of the trend and then waits for an entry signal from a custom indicator built into the EA.
The EA first judges the longer and shorter term trend on the chart. It only looks for entries that fit that direction, so it is a trend-following system rather than a counter-trend or grid tool. The entry timing comes from the author's own indicator logic, which runs inside the EA, so you do not need to add any other indicator to the chart.
Once a trade is open, the position can be managed with a trailing stop. You can pick between two styles:
The EA is intended for XAUUSD with M15 as the base chart. Load it on one chart only. It handles its logic internally and does not need extra charts or symbol lists. Gold can move fast and spreads can widen around news, so broker conditions matter.
You can trade a fixed lot size, or let the EA calculate the lot from a percentage of your account balance relative to the stop loss distance.
A drawdown stop closes open trades and stops further trading when drawdown passes the limit you set. The EA can also stop trading for the day when losses reach your daily loss parameter, which is useful if you work under account rules. Choose these limits carefully, because a very loose drawdown limit offers little real protection.
Exact input names and defaults can differ, so open the inputs tab and read each one before going live. The main groups are:
| Group | What to check |
|---|---|
| Lot mode | Fixed lot or risk-based lot |
| Risk per trade | Percentage of balance used when risk-based sizing is on |
| Drawdown stop | Maximum drawdown before the EA closes trades and halts |
| Daily loss limit | Loss level at which trading stops for the day |
| Trailing mode | Fixed distance or ATR-based |
Trading carries risk and you can lose part or all of your capital. Past results do not predict future ones. Test Solar Crest on a demo account and in the Strategy Tester with your broker's data before trading real money.
Keep the terminal running, ideally on a VPS, so the EA can manage trades without interruption.

It is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 only. It will not load in MetaTrader 4, so check that your broker offers an MT5 account before buying.
The EA is designed for XAUUSD on the M15 chart. Attach it to a single chart only. Your broker may use a suffix on the symbol name, such as XAUUSD.m, which is fine as long as it is the gold instrument.
The author suggests a balance of at least 250 USD, leverage of 1:100 or higher and a low spread ECN-type broker. Gold spreads and execution quality affect results, so test on your own broker's conditions first. Check the current recommendation on the original product page too.
It includes a daily loss control and a drawdown stop, which can help you stay inside account rules. Every firm has its own rules on EAs, trade management and limits, so read them carefully and set the inputs to match before using it on any challenge or funded account.
Copy the downloaded file into the Experts folder via File, Open Data Folder, MQL5, Experts in MT5. Restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator, drag the EA onto an XAUUSD M15 chart and enable Algo Trading.
No. Trading carries risk, you can lose money, and past results do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account before using real funds.
