Orion vs Other Gold EAs: 13 Locked Test Boards
This page is only the locked FX EA Tester record: Orion beside other gold EAs under the same rules. The free MT4 product page and ZIP stay on the homepage.
Orion vs other gold EAs — the test boards
How the boards were run
FX EA Tester lined Orion up with other gold EAs. Each board used the same deposit, lot size, risk %, and the same 100 market paths over 90 days, so one EA did not get an easier gold path than the rest.
The set is 13 tests. Peer mixes changed (popular, MT4, scalpers, trend, grid, AI, hybrid) and so did account settings (0.5% / 2% risk, $300 / $5000, a 180-day window). Across those boards Orion met 75 other EAs.
What the boards help you see
• How often the average was a plus vs paid gold EAs
• Whether stop-based listing talk matches profit and drawdown on these paths
• Where wins were scarce even when the average stayed plus
• Usual pain vs a bad-path drawdown
• Which other gold EAs looked stronger on the same boards
First look at the boards
• Plus average in 13 of 13 tests
• Led wins in 5 tests (one tied) and had the best average in 8
• Stronger vs scalper, trend and hybrid mixes, at 0.5% and 2% risk, on $300, and over 180 days
• Fewer wins on the $5000 board (last, though #2 on average) and the crowded scalper field
• Scalping Robot Pro led the mixed popular and MT4 boards
These are locked research tests — not live broker profit. Listing facts come next, then each board, then a balanced take.

How the tests work
Orion Gold Scalper ran on gold (XAUUSD) in groups of 10 EAs. Deposit, lot, and risk stayed the same inside a board. Each board used 100 market paths over 90 days.
Thirteen boards in total: popular and MT4 fields, style mixes (scalper, trend, grid, AI, hybrid), then tighter / higher risk, $300, $5000, and a 180-day window.
Same rules for every EA. Results stay on the page even when Orion Gold Scalper is not first.
- 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 (same rules for every EA in a test)
- Coverage: 13 tests · 75 other EAs · 100 paths each
Wins = finished first on a path. That is not the same as a plus average. Paths in profit show how often it made money. Average drawdown is typical pain; worst drawdown is the ugly path.
A ZIP has the full report. Do not size a live account from these averages.
Path labels such as gradual-bear come from FX EA Tester — not from a live broker chart.

- Low win share in the crowded scalper field (#7, 8/100)
- Scalping Robot Pro won more paths with a higher average on the mixed popular and MT4 boards
- Research tests are not live trading results
Reasons it may fit you
- you want the locked gold-board picture before you demo Orion
- you care about average profit across many peer mixes, not only win count
- you want side-by-side FX EA Tester data next to other gold EAs
Reasons to be careful
- you need to lead the win count on large accounts or crowded scalper fields
- you treat simulator averages as a promise of live profit
- you only trust long live track records
Our take
It may fit better if you care about average profit and survival across mixed peer styles and account settings. It may fit less well if you need to lead the win count on large accounts or crowded scalper fields, where it took few first places.
Our take: Balanced — solid in several areas, with clear limits. The free file stays on the homepage; demo first.

FAQ
Did Orion’s averages hold up next to paid gold EAs on these boards?
On average profit, yes in these tests: plus in 13 of 13 boards, best average in 8, and first on wins in 5. It still took few wins on the $5000 board and the crowded scalper field, and Scalping Robot Pro led the mixed popular and MT4 boards.
Do stop-based claims show up in these FX EA Tester boards?
The boards do not prove live stops. They do show plus averages on every test without a grid/recovery win story. Worst-path drawdown still ran about twice the average.
Is this the Orion Gold Scalper download page?
No. This URL is only the locked test record. The free MT4 ZIP and product copy are on the homepage and the download page.
Which other gold EAs should I open after these Orion boards?
Gold Vanguard EA and Adaptive Gold Scalper MT5 if you want paid MT5 options with strong averages on their own boards. Scalping Robot Pro MT5 if you care most about path wins. All have indexed research pages.
Did Orion make money on these gold boards?
On average, yes on all 13 boards over 90 days. Strong examples: 180-day window +$114.13 (92/100 paths in profit), 2% risk +$90.70, and $5000 +$185.12. The smallest was the $300 board (+$31.22), where it still had the best average.
How deep was drawdown on these Orion boards?
Average max drawdown was about 6.5–10.4%. Worst paths were about 15–19% on $1000 boards and 19.44% on $300. Treat average DD as typical pain, not the bad-path case.
Was this one race of 100 EAs?
No. Thirteen tests of 10 EAs (this EA + 9 others × 100 paths). Unique other EAs: 75. We only say “vs 100 EAs” if that unique count reaches ~100.
Are these live MT4 results?
No. These are FX EA Tester research tests. Useful for an honest board read. Not a broker statement.
Where is the free MT4 file?
On this site’s homepage and download page. Other EAs in the store still use official MQL5 (or vendor) links.
