Forex GOLD Investor MT5 Download — 3-System Gold EA
Forex GOLD Investor MT5 is a MetaTrader 5 gold EA for XAUUSD. It runs three systems on one chart: scalping, a time-based system that can open up to two trades at a time, and breakout. Six solo tests on this page run this EA alone. Every average was positive. The $1,000 baseline gained $69.31.
What is Forex GOLD Investor MT5?
Version 2.4 (published 4 May 2022) is priced at 267 USD. The product page also lists a regular price of 547 USD. It uses the M15 chart. You can turn System 1 and System 2 on or off. System 2 can open up to two trades at a time. A news filter, a spread cap, and a drawdown panel are part of the same setup.
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.
- 3 systems scalping, time-based, breakout
- 6/6 settings with a plus average

- 2.4 current version
How Forex GOLD Investor MT5 trades
It can skip high-spread moments, skip news, hide stops in stealth mode, and keep a log of how the broker filled the trades. A drawdown panel is meant for funded-account limits. A randomization option is meant to change the exact entry and exit times.
Results can differ by broker spread, slippage, GMT offset, and whether both systems stay on.
What you can set
On these solo tests, 2% risk gained more than 1% risk (+$89.55 vs +$69.31), and 0.5% risk gained less (+$29.25). Keep the first live risk small until a demo looks acceptable.

Key risks and how to reduce them
What can go wrong
- Every average was positive, and the $300 worst path still fell 42.94% and closed at −$66.25.
- On $5,000 the average was +$98.43, about +2.0%, and the worst path closed at −$714.37.

- Confirm the GMT offset before you leave System 2 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. Forex GOLD Investor MT5 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 — every average was positive. The $1,000 baseline gained $69.31. The 180-day test gained $93.73. On $300 the worst path fell 42.94%.
Our take: Balanced — solid in several areas, with clear limits. The averages were up. The $300 worst path still fell a long way. Demo it on XAUUSD before any live use.
