Introduction


Tired of generic gold EAs that overtrade or blow up your account? Say hello to Gold ISIS EA V1.1 MT4, a lean, mean gold-scalping machine built for consistency and low drawdown. In this post, we’ll walk you through everything—from its core purpose to live backtest proof, install steps, and why YoForex’s free EA lineup stands out. If you’ve been hunting for a true MT4 expert advisor to tackle XAUUSD on the M5 chart, you’re in the right place. Ready?


Overview


Gold ISIS EA is engineered specifically for XAUUSD scalping on MetaTrader 4’s M5 timeframe. It uses a blend of volatility filters, dynamic lot sizing, and smart exit rules to capture small pip gains repeatedly throughout the trading session. Version 1.1 refines the entry algorithm to reduce false signals during choppy markets and adds an auto-spread-check feature so the EA only trades when conditions are tight. No martingale, no grid—just pure, disciplined scalping.


Built in MQL4, it’s lightweight and compatible with most VPS setups. You’ll find it plays nicely alongside other EAs, thanks to its built-in trade manager that respects daily drawdown limits.


Key Features



  • Adaptive Volatility Filter – Only enters trades when ATR(14) and Bollinger Bands agree on momentum.

  • Auto Spread Guard – Suspends trading if spreads exceed 2.0 pips on XAUUSD.

  • Dynamic Lot Sizing – Risk-based lots ensure you never overleverage.

  • Fixed SL/TP – Default stop-loss at 20 pips, take-profit at 30 pips; fully customizable.

  • No Grid & No Martingale – Pure price-action strategy to protect your capital.

  • Breakeven Stop – Moves SL to breakeven once a trade hits +10 pips.

  • News & Session Filter – Blocks trades around major economic releases and during low-liquidity hours.

  • Max Drawdown Cutoff – Stops all trading for the day if loss exceeds your set threshold (default 5%).

  • One-Click Settings Load – Import .set files to replicate our recommended config instantly.
