AurumWave Gold · MetaTrader 5 · XAUUSD
Gold moves in waves: price rises, falls back and rises again, and AurumWave Gold trades that rhythm. It opens a first trade with the trend (wave 1). If price drifts against it, follow-up trades are added in stages (waves 2 and 3), so the group has one average price and one target. When price recovers to the target, all the trades in the group close together. Equity Guard, a runaway-move stop and a spread filter stay armed around every group. The film then shows the published backtest: four Auto lot profiles on a $1,000 cent account, XAUUSD H1, 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2026, 100% real ticks. Safe +60% with a worst equity drop of 12.7%. Balanced +90% with a worst equity drop of 18.1%. Aggressive +167% with a worst equity drop of 27.3%. Extreme +277% with a worst equity drop of 34.5%. Every profile was in profit in all 12 of the 12 months, with profit factors of 2.21, 2.19, 2.17 and 2.19 over about 2,000 trades each. The same engine runs in all four profiles; only the lot size changes. Backtests are not live results. Test the free demo EA on a demo account at tradelytics.cloud/aurumwave.
AurumWave Gold is an automated gold Expert Advisor for MT5. It enters with the trend, adds follow-up trades in stages if price drifts against it, and closes the whole group at its target.

The published test
We ran AurumWave Gold v1.2 on a $1,000 cent account (100,000 USC), XAUUSD on H1, from 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2026, on 100% real ticks. Only the Auto lot profile changed between the four runs. Pick the line you could sit through, not the one that earns most.
Smallest lots, shallowest drops.
The middle road between growth and drops.
Bigger lots, deeper drops.
For experienced users who accept deep drops.
Read this before you choose. A bigger profile uses bigger lots, so it earns more and drops deeper. The worst equity drop includes trades that were still open. A backtest is not a live result, and live conditions can be worse.
How it trades, plainly
Every setup is managed as a single group with a single target. That is what makes the equity curve above rise in steps, and it is also where the risk sits, so we show both.
It does not guess tops and bottoms. If spread or volatility is unfavourable, it stands aside and opens nothing.
A limited number of follow-up trades improve the group's average price. Later stages use larger lots. This is averaging, and it is the main source of risk, which is why the protections below exist.
A smaller recovery closes every trade at once, so a group does not wait for price to return to its first entry.
Equity Guard closes the group at a set loss as a percentage of your balance. A runaway-move stop closes the group if price travels far against it. After repeated protective exits the EA pauses before it opens a new group.
Worth knowing: AurumWave earns by closing many groups at a small recovery, so equity tends to rise in steps. The cost is that a strong one-way move can stack up follow-up trades before price turns. That is exactly what Equity Guard and the runaway stop are for, and why we publish the drawdown next to the return.
Built-in protections
Honest summary: AurumWave is designed to be controlled, with a limit on every group. It is not risk-free and not guaranteed to be profitable. Gold can move hard in one direction, and an averaging EA is exposed to exactly that. Test free, start small, and size your account with the planner.
Plan your setup
Choose your account, balance, lot setting and Equity Guard to see what our published backtests, scaled to your setup, suggest for a typical month, the weakest month and the deepest drop. The tests used a cent account with 100,000 USC ($1,000) for one year of real ticks. This is an estimate, not a forecast.
Which account? A cent account suits balances up to about $5,000. From about $15,000 use a standard account: the default lot caps (5.00 lots) are small for a large cent balance and stop the EA adding follow-up trades. The planner tells you when that applies.
Set by the Safe profile · Equity Guard Auto (30%)
Estimate from four one-year backtests scaled to your setting. It is not a forecast: live results differ, and a different year can be worse.
The estimate scales the results of our published backtests to your lot size relative to your balance, and is only reliable inside the range we tested. Nothing is sent or stored. Past and simulated results do not guarantee future results. For other questions try the losing-streak calculator and the risk-of-ruin calculator.

FAQ
An automated Expert Advisor (EA) for MetaTrader 5 that trades gold (XAUUSD). It opens trades in the direction of a confirmed trend, manages each trade cycle as one group, and surrounds it with limits: Auto lot sizing from your balance, market filters, Equity Guard (a loss limit for the whole group), a daily-trend filter, a runaway-move stop and a pause after repeated protective exits. This is version 1.2, the final stable release.
Lot size is set from your balance when a new group of trades opens, so you do not type a lot. Choose Auto - Safe, Balanced, Aggressive or Extreme (the lot is worked out from your balance, counted in your account's own units, so US cents on a cent account), Custom (you enter the balance per 0.01 lot) or Manual (one fixed lot you enter). A bigger profile trades larger and, in Equity Guard Auto mode, allows a deeper loss before the group is closed, so it can earn more and also fall further. The backtest shows Safe, Balanced, Aggressive and Extreme on a $1,000 cent account (100,000 USC).
No EA can promise either. AurumWave is built to be controlled: it sizes the lot from your balance, caps the number of trades in a group, closes the group at a set loss with Equity Guard, stands aside against a strong daily trend or an overstretched market, and pauses after repeated protective exits. But it adds follow-up trades when price moves against a group, which is a form of averaging, and a strong one-way move can still cause a large loss. We do not promise profit. Test it free on a demo account first, and use the planner above to size your account for a losing streak.
It is not a blind martingale that doubles after every loss, but it does add follow-up trades in stages against a losing group, and the later stages use larger lots, so a full set of follow-ups is many times the size of the first trade. That is the same type of risk as other averaging and grid EAs. The number of follow-ups is capped, Equity Guard closes the whole group at a set loss and a runaway-move stop closes a group when price travels far against it, but a strong one-way move can still cause a large loss. We would rather tell you that plainly than hide it.
Equity Guard closes the whole current group of trades if its floating loss reaches a set percentage of your balance, then pauses new groups for a short cooldown. In Auto mode the percentage follows the Auto lot profile, and a bigger profile allows a deeper loss. In Manual mode you enter one percentage and it applies to every lot mode. It is a loss limit, not a guarantee: in a fast market the price can move past the limit before the EA closes the group, and it only works while MetaTrader is open and connected.
