Introduction
Gold has long been a safe haven for traders, but timing the market correctly is anything but simple. If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a chart, wondering if the next swing will go in your favor, you’re not alone. Many turn to expert advisors to automate entries and exits, yet most come with hefty price tags or over-optimized algorithms that fall apart in live trading. That’s where Axis Gold Trend EA V1.5 MT4 comes in. Built on robust MQL4 code and fine-tuned by YoForex’s in-house quants, this EA targets gold’s trend structure with surgical precision—no martingale, no hidden fees, just straightforward trend-following logic that you can trust.


Overview
Axis Gold Trend EA is engineered specifically for XAUUSD on the MetaTrader 4 platform. Version 1.5 refines its core trend-detection engine, combining adaptive moving averages with volatility filters to spot sustainable gold moves. Unlike generic EAs that trade every currency pair, Axis zeroes in on gold’s unique behavior—capturing major swings while filtering out noise. Back-tested across five years of tick data, it’s proven to deliver consistent returns with controlled drawdown. And because YoForex believes in transparency, you get full access to the strategy’s settings—so you can tweak risk, lot sizing, and time-of-day filters to suit your personal style.

Backtest Results & Proof
Performance metrics speak louder than promises. In rigorous backtests over 60 months of tick data, Axis Gold Trend EA V1.5 achieved an average annual return of 24%, with a maximum drawdown of 9%. The equity curve was remarkably smooth, reflecting the EA’s disciplined entry criteria and robust risk management. Sample size: 1,253 trades across both trending and sideways markets—proof that this EA adapts to diverse conditions. Live-market verification on a real account since January 2024 shows a similar growth trajectory, albeit with slightly lower returns (around 18% annually) due to slippage and spreads.
