MetaTrader 4 users looking for a lightweight, low-deposit EA that excels at scalping will find a solid ally in EA Trend V1.8. Built specifically for XAUUSD (Gold) and GBPUSD on the M1, M5, and M15 charts, this version refines its trend-detection algorithms to deliver fast, repeatable entries and exits. With a minimum deposit of just $100, both new and seasoned traders can deploy EA Trend V1.8 without blowing out their account.
Overview
EA Trend V1.8 MT4 employs a combination of moving average crossovers and volatility filters to lock onto the dominant market direction, then scalp micro-runs within that trend. Unlike some EAs that rely on grid or martingale schemes, this one uses fixed lot sizing and dynamic stop-loss levels—so you won’t see grid blowups or runaway drawdowns. It’s optimized for fast execution brokers, making the most of tight spreads on gold and GBPUSD.
Key Features
• +Adaptive Trend Detection—auto-adjusts to shifting market momentum
• +Timeframe Flexibility—runs on M1, M5, M15 for micro-scalps and mini-swings
• +Fixed Lot & No Martingale—keeps risk predictable, drawdown controlled
• +Low Deposit Friendly—starts with just $100 capital
• +Dynamic Stop-Loss & Take-Profit—locks in profits, trims losses early
• +Spread & Slippage Filters—avoids bad fills during volatile news spikes
• +Trailing Stop Option—lets you ride winners for extra pips
• +Broker Agnostic—works on most ECN/STP MT4 brokers with low spreads
Trading Strategy
EA Trend V1.8 kicks off a trade when its fast and slow moving averages cross in the direction of the overall trend, confirmed by a volatility filter (ATR-based). It then places a tight stop-loss below/above the recent swing high/low, and sets a take-profit at a 1:1.5 or 1:2 risk-reward ratio. Trades only fire during user-defined hours to avoid low-liquidity sessions. The result? A steady stream of small wins that compound over time.
Backtest & Live Performance
Backtests on a 10k USD deposit over 6 months of tick data show an average monthly return of +5–7%, with a max drawdown under 8%. Equity curves display smooth upward growth with minimal stagnation. In live/demo environments, users report consistent pocket-money profits of 10–20 pips per day on gold, and 5–10 pips on GBPUSD, even during choppy markets. As always, past performance isn’t a guarantee—but the numbers look promising.
