What is Sailing Gold?

Default Max Trades is 20. The listed minimum balance is $300. You can run it on any time frame. Default take-profit is 1500 and Max SL is 5000 on 2-digit gold (use ×10 on 3-decimal gold). Session hours are 01:30 to 22:30, with Close at Time End on by default.
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 Sailing Gold trades
Default Max Trades is 20, so many positions can be open at once. Default take-profit is 1500 and Max SL is 5000 on 2-digit gold. On 3-decimal gold those numbers are ×10. Trailing is part of the same setup. Session hours are 01:30 to 22:30. Close at Time End is on by default.
Results can differ by broker spread, slippage, gold digits, and whether the MA filter stays on.
What you can set
On these solo tests, 0.5% risk lost less than 1% risk (−$33.64 vs −$51.36), and 2% risk lost more (−$92.98). Keep the first live risk small until a demo looks acceptable.

A good fit if you
- want an MT4 gold scalper that can hold many trades at once
- will demo it on XAUUSD before any live use

Key risks and how to reduce them
What can go wrong
- Every average was minus, and the $300 worst path fell 39.02% and closed at −$104.95.
- On $5,000 the average was −$86.40, about −1.7%, and the worst path closed at −$814.74.
- Default Max Trades is 20, so many trades can be open at once.
- These tests are not a live account. Broker spread, gold digits, and slippage can change the trades.
Safer first steps
- Run it on an XAUUSD demo before any live use.
- Keep Max Trades lower than 20 until that demo is acceptable.
- Keep risk small. 0.5% still lost $33.64 in these tests.
- Set your own daily loss limit.
What to know before you download
- Confirm MetaTrader 4 and XAUUSD.
- Read the six solo tests before you rely on it.
- Decide Max Trades, take-profit, Max SL, and the MA filter.
- Match TP and SL to 2-digit or 3-decimal gold.

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. Sailing 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.
