Synthetic Metal is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that focuses on two instruments: spot gold (XAUUSD) and spot silver (XAGUSD). It runs on the M30 chart and bases its decisions on a trend reading taken from several timeframes, combined with support and resistance context.
The EA includes its own trend indicator, which compares price behaviour on four timeframes at the same time. The idea is to filter out entries that go against the larger direction of the market and to avoid reacting to every short-lived swing on M30. When the readings agree, the EA can open a position; when they stop agreeing, it can close or stand aside.
The EA is built for XAUUSD and XAGUSD on M30. Attaching it to other symbols or chart periods is outside its intended use, and you would be doing so without any design basis. Metals are volatile instruments, and conditions vary between brokers, so check spreads, swap rates, contract size and trading hours on your own account before you start.
Exact input names and default values can differ between releases, so open the Inputs tab after attaching the EA and read each parameter carefully. The table lists the areas worth reviewing.
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Lot size or risk per trade | Match it to your balance and the loss you can accept on a single trade. |
| News filter | Confirm it is enabled and that your terminal can receive the calendar data it needs. |
| Symbol names | Make sure the chart symbol matches your broker's naming for gold or silver. |
| Trading hours | Review any session limits against your broker's server time. |
| Magic number | Use a different value for each chart if you run gold and silver together. |
The author mentions optimised settings for different trading styles. Ask for current recommendations and treat any set as a starting point to test, not a fixed answer.
Because the EA analyses several timeframes, the Strategy Tester runs more slowly than it does with simple single-timeframe systems. Use high quality tick data, test across different market phases, and include realistic spreads and commissions. Test results depend on the data and the broker model, so differences from live trading are normal.
Trading leveraged products such as gold and silver carries a high level of risk and you can lose more than you expected. Past results, including backtests, do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account first and only risk money you can afford to lose.

No. It is an MT5 expert advisor and will not load in MetaTrader 4. You need an MT5 terminal and an account that offers gold and silver symbols.
It is designed for XAUUSD and XAGUSD on the M30 chart. Your broker may add suffixes or prefixes to symbol names, so check the exact names in Market Watch and attach the EA to the matching chart.
Any MT5 broker that offers gold and silver should be usable in principle. Spreads, commissions, execution speed and swap differ a lot between brokers on metals, so compare them and test on a demo account first.
The right amount depends on your lot size, leverage and risk tolerance. Confirm the minimum and recommended balances with the author before going live, and do not trade money you cannot afford to lose.
The EA looks at several timeframes at once, so the Strategy Tester has more data to process than with a single-timeframe system. Allow extra time, use good quality tick data, and expect results to differ between data sources.
The author offers guidance on settings for different trading styles. Check the product page or contact the author for current recommendations, and test any set on a demo account before using it live.
