Logan MT5 Download — Gold Grid EA for XAUUSD M15
Logan MT5 is a MetaTrader 5 gold grid EA for XAUUSD on M15. It waits for filtered entries, then can add ATR-spaced recovery orders. Six solo tests on this page run this EA alone. All six averages were plus. The $1,000 baseline gained $51.13.
What is Logan MT5?
Version 3.20 (published 25 June 2026) is priced at 289 USD. Before the first order it checks EMA alignment, ADX, tick volume, ATR, spread, and candle momentum. If price moves against that first fill, it can add further entries with ATR-based spacing and dynamic lot progression. Open orders close together when the basket reaches its profit target. Daily drawdown protection, session filters, a news filter, and an Exness broker profile sit in the same panel. Hedge or netting accounts are listed. Cent accounts are not. The listed minimum is 1,000 USD for a 0.01 lot; 2,000 USD or more is the usual recommendation. Leverage 1:100 or higher. A raw / ECN account is recommended.
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.

How Logan MT5 trades
If the first fill moves against it, it can add more orders. Spacing follows current ATR, so the gap between orders can widen when gold is wild. Lot size can grow with a soft multiplier. When the basket hits its profit target, every open order closes at once.
You can cap daily drawdown (realized plus floating). The EA can stop new orders for the rest of the day, and it can close the basket if you turn that on. Session hours, a news filter (MQL5 calendar plus an extra calendar URL), and an Exness broker type sit in the same inputs. Default lots can be fixed or scaled from balance. Hedge and netting accounts are listed. Cent accounts are not.
Results can differ by broker spread on M15 gold, whether the recovery grid is allowed to add, lot size, and those caps.
What you can set
On these solo tests, 1% risk gained $51.13, 0.5% risk gained $43.65, and 2% risk gained $64.51. Higher risk gained more on $1,000 in this set, but it is still a grid. Keep the first live lot small. Use the listed 1,000 USD floor. Do not treat the $300 test as a live plan — that size is below the listing minimum.

- can keep at least 1,000 USD for 0.01 lot as listed

- want a product with no grid and no recovery orders
Key risks and how to reduce them
What can go wrong
- This is a grid. Extra orders can sit while gold runs against the first fill.
- The $1,000 baseline worst path fell 35.47% and closed at −$353.99.
- On $5,000 the average was +$39.20, only about +0.8%, and the worst close was −$1,748.92.
- The $300 test is below the listed 1,000 USD minimum. These tests are not a live TitanFX signal.
Safer first steps
- Run it on an XAUUSD M15 demo before any live use.
- Keep the deposit at or above the listed 1,000 USD for 0.01 lot.
- Start with a small lot and the daily drawdown stop on.
- Do not treat a $300 account as a live plan for this product.
What to know before you download
- Confirm MetaTrader 5, XAUUSD on M15, and a raw / ECN account that is not a cent account.
- Read the six solo tests. All six averages were plus, and the $1,000 baseline worst path still fell 35.47%.
- Plan at least 1,000 USD as listed for 0.01 lot (2,000 USD+ is the usual recommendation).
- Decide daily drawdown percent and news filter before you pay.

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. Logan 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 — that deposit matches the listed minimum for 0.01 lot. The other runs change one thing: 0.5% risk, 2% risk, a $300 deposit, a $5,000 deposit, or a 180-day window. The $300 run is below the listed 1,000 USD minimum; it is a stress size, not the seller’s live plan.
- 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 plus. The $1,000 baseline gained $51.13. The 180-day test gained $95.43. On $5,000 the average was only about +0.8%, and the $1,000 baseline worst path still fell 35.47%.
Our take: Balanced — solid in several areas, with clear limits. The averages were up. It is still a grid. Demo it on XAUUSD M15 with at least the listed 1,000 USD and a small lot before any live use.
These tests run this EA by itself on gold. They are research tests — not live trading. Read the risk disclosure.
