Quantitative Apex Prop Firm EA V1.0 MT5 — One Trade a Day, Built for Funded Accounts


Platform: MetaTrader 5 (MT5)
Asset Focus: XAU/USD (Gold)
Design Goal: Prop firm compliance — strict risk, low frequency, high discipline
Style: One structured trade per day, managed end-to-end by the EA


Core Concept


Quantitative Apex Prop Firm EA V1.0 is engineered with one job: help traders pass and maintain prop firm accounts by enforcing discipline, risk limits, and consistency. Unlike typical EAs that spam entries, it takes only one trade per day — aligning with many firms’ strict rules. Optimized for XAU/USD (Gold), the EA captures liquidity-driven moves during EU and US sessions, where volatility and volume align.


This is not a scalper or grid bot — it’s a compliance-first Expert Advisor designed to protect your drawdowns, grow accounts steadily, and keep you from breaking rules.



Key Features



  • One Trade per Day Logic
    Eliminates overtrading and complies with firm restrictions.

  • XAU/USD Specialization
    Gold is liquid, volatile, and predictable around EU & US sessions — perfect for structured setups.

  • Smart Money Management

  • Fixed Lot Mode: Consistent sizing for simple execution.

  • Dynamic Lot Mode: Calculates % of balance (and adapts to account leverage) for smoother scaling.

  • Drawdown Protection
    Automatic respect for daily, weekly, and monthly drawdown caps. Trades halt if limits are approached.

  • Fully Automated
    No manual interference required. The EA handles entries, stop-loss, take-profit, and trailing if configured.

  • Prop Firm Ready

  • No martingale, no grid

  • Strict one-position logic

  • Built-in safeguards to prevent rule violations


Recommended Settings



  • Symbol: XAU/USD

  • Timeframe: M15 or H1 chart (logic is session-driven, not TF-sensitive)

  • Account Size: Minimum $5,000 for prop firm accounts (scale risk accordingly)

  • Risk per Trade: 0.5%–1% (fixed or % equity)

  • Leverage: Works with 1:30 to 1:500, adapt sizing carefully

  • Trading Window: EU + US session overlap (default logic optimized here)

  • Stop-Loss / Take-Profit: Auto-calculated per volatility; customize if needed

  • VPS: Highly recommended for stable execution and low latency
