ArtQuant Gold Download — Multi-Module Gold EA for MT5
ArtQuant Gold is a MetaTrader 5 gold EA for XAUUSD. It runs a portfolio of internal modules with a grid cycle and account-protection tools. Six solo tests on this page run this EA alone. Five of the six averages were minus. The $1,000 baseline lost $16.77.
What is ArtQuant Gold?
Version 3.2 (published 18 May 2025) is priced at 700 USD. It uses a portfolio of up to 20 internal modules. You pick a broker profile or a custom module map. One module can hold several positions in the same cycle. The product page describes that as a grid. Chart timeframe does not matter: the EA reads the data it needs. Virtual take-profit, stop, and trailing sit on top of those cycles. Daily and floating loss limits, exposure caps, and an optional USD news filter are part of the same panel.
These tests do not rank it against other gold EAs. Each run is this EA only, on 100 gold paths, with the deposit, risk, or window changed. The results are on this page.
- 20 internal modules (cap)
- 1/6 settings with a plus average
- Grid several positions per module cycle
- 3.2 current version
How ArtQuant Gold trades
You can set how many modules may stay active at once. You can also cap total volume, volume per module, and orders per cycle. Virtual take-profit, stop, and trailing manage those positions. Daily loss, floating loss, and drawdown protection can close the EA’s trades when a limit is hit.
Broker profiles change which modules run. Custom mode lets you turn modules 01–20 on or off, or paste a comma-separated map such as 1,3,5,11,14,20.
A USD economic-calendar filter can skip news in live MetaTrader. That filter is ignored in the Strategy Tester, and it is not part of these gold tests.
Results can differ by broker spread, how many modules stay on, lot size, and those exposure caps.
What you can set
On these solo tests, 1% risk lost $16.77, 0.5% risk lost $34.11, and 2% risk lost $53.15. Lower risk did not turn the average positive. Keep the first live lot small and use the protection limits, not a higher risk percent.

A good fit if you
- want an MT5 gold EA that runs several modules as one portfolio
- accept that one module can hold several positions in a grid cycle
- will demo it on XAUUSD and read the six solo tests first
Not a fit if you need
- need a plus average on a $1,000 account — five of six tests were minus, including the baseline
- need a single-trade EA with no extra positions in a cycle
Key risks and how to reduce them
What can go wrong
- Five of six averages were minus. The $1,000 baseline lost $16.77.
- The 2% risk worst path fell 50.21% and closed at −$497.59.
- The 180-day test lost $94.07, with 28 of 100 paths in profit.
- A grid cycle can hold several positions. More modules on at once raises exposure. These tests are not a private funded-account set.
Safer first steps
- Run it on an XAUUSD demo before any live use.
- Start with a conservative Base Lot and fewer active modules.
- Turn on daily and floating loss limits before you add modules.
- Do not raise risk to 2% hoping for a better average — that test lost more.
What to know before you download
- Confirm MetaTrader 5, a hedging account, and XAUUSD.
- Read the six solo tests. Five averages were minus.
- Decide Maximum Active Modules, lot size, and exposure caps before you pay.
- Plan a demo with the protection limits on.

Each bar is one test. Height = share of paths that finished in profit — not the same as average $.
How the tests work
Gold (XAUUSD) only. ArtQuant Gold ran alone: no other EA in the test. Each run used 100 paths. The baseline is $1,000, 90 days, 1% risk, lot 0.01. The other runs change one thing: 0.5% risk, 2% risk, a $300 deposit, a $5,000 deposit, or a 180-day window.
- Symbol: XAUUSD
- Paths per test: 100
- Typical window: 90 days · deposit 1000 · lot 0.01 · risk 1%
- Market mix: random (uptrend, downtrend, range, chop, and shock paths)
- Engine: Hosted FX EA Tester (this EA alone)
- Coverage: 6 tests · 100 paths each
There is no rank and no “wins” score, because nothing else was in the test.
Average profit is the mean dollar result. Paths in profit is how many of the 100 paths finished up. Drawdown is the usual dip and the worst path.

Our take
In six solo gold tests — this EA only — five averages were minus. The $1,000 baseline lost $16.77. The only plus average was $5,000, at +$80.40 (about +1.6%). The 180-day test lost $94.07. The 2% risk test lost $53.15, with a 50.21% worst path.
Our take: Cautious — weaker results in these tests. The $5,000 setting was the exception. Demo it on gold with a small lot and the protection limits on before any live use.
These tests run this EA by itself on gold. They are research tests — not live trading. Read the risk disclosure.
