What is The Gold Reaper MT5?

The Gold Reaper MT5 is by Wim Schrynemakers. It is an automated MetaTrader Expert Advisor built for gold: it trades breakouts of important support and resistance levels, runs more than one internal strategy, and manages each trade with stop loss, take profit, and trailing exits.

There are matching MT4 and MT5 products. You set a preferred maximum drawdown (or trade frequency), attach it on XAUUSD, and the EA can size frequency and lots from that risk target. Demo carefully before you raise size.

How The Gold Reaper MT5 trades

The EA looks for breakouts of important support and resistance levels on gold. Multiple confirmation checks and internal strategies run together to spread entries.

Every trade has a stop loss and take profit, with trailing stop and trailing take-profit options. Trade frequency can run from conservative to very active. In auto mode, frequency and lot size follow your account size and a maximum allowed drawdown setting.

What you can customize

Typical inputs include trade frequency (or auto), max allowed drawdown, lot method (fixed start lots vs drawdown-based), max spread, Friday stop hour, randomization, magic/comment, daily drawdown limit, NFP filter, and AutoGMT settings.

Start with a conservative max drawdown on demo. Change one item at a time.

Starting setup

  • Attach on XAUUSD (product setup uses H1 context)
  • Set max allowed drawdown — or pick trade frequency manually
  • Demo first; product notes a minimum account around $600
  • Add AutoGMT URL if you use the NFP filter

XAUUSD only

Requirements

  • MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 (matching download)
  • The Gold Reaper download file
  • XAUUSD symbol on your broker
  • Enough balance for your chosen max drawdown / frequency (product notes ~$600 minimum)
  • Demo first on the same broker and VPS you plan to use later

A good fit if you

  • want a well-known gold breakout EA on MT4 or MT5 to demo
  • can set a max drawdown target and keep frequency conservative at first
  • care about average profit, not only first-place finishes
  • want an EA that averaged plus on all 14 gold boards here
  • will stay on demo until you understand drawdown on your broker

Not a fit if you need

  • a famous name that proves itself without reading the averages
  • the top EA on the mixed popular, MT4 and MT5 boards — Scalping Robot Pro led those
  • shallow worst cases everywhere — the 2% risk board reached 28.52%
  • a grid/martingale story — the product says it does not use those
  • a live Myfxbook / broker statement copied here as proof

Key risks and how to reduce them

What can go wrong

  • Higher trade frequency and loose drawdown limits raise risk quickly.
  • Breakouts can fail in chop; trailing does not remove large losses.
  • Wrong lot method or max-DD target can still hurt the account.
  • Strong simulator averages are not a live record — worst paths still fell about 16–29%.
  • Market conditions and broker paths change; demo first.

Safer first steps

  • Demo on the same broker path and VPS you plan to use later.
  • Start with a conservative max allowed drawdown and lower frequency.
  • Do not raise risk after a loss.
  • Set your own hard account-loss limit before any live use.
  • Read the gold boards below before you treat the brand as a reason to buy.

What to know before you download

  • Confirm MT4 or MT5 and use the matching Gold Reaper download.
  • List price was $949 on 22 Sep 2026 — check the live figure.
  • Know the model: S&R breakouts, multi-strategy, auto frequency from max DD.
  • Independent 90-day gold tests were plus on average in all 14 boards.
  • Demo first; automated trading can lose capital.

See Where it looked stronger or weaker below for the condition-by-condition read.

How often did paths make money?

84 / 100 best · The Gold Reaper MT5 mixed gold @ 180-day window

Each bar is one test. Height = share of paths that finished in profit — not the same as average $.

Weakest here: The Gold Reaper MT5 mixed gold @ large account $5000 (57/100). A board can clear ~half its paths and still lose money on average.

Where did it finish on wins?

#1 best finish · The Gold Reaper MT5 vs gold scalping peers (35 firsts)

Shorter bar = better win rank. First on wins can still lose money on average.

Pair this with average $ in the Independent check above — wins and profit are separate scores.

How the tests work

Only gold (XAUUSD) boards. The Gold Reaper MT5 plus nine others, same money settings, 100 paths, 90-day window (180 days on the longer-window board).

Fourteen gold conditions. Win-leader boards and best-average boards are not always the same here — both are published.

  • Symbol: XAUUSD
  • Paths per test: 100
  • Typical window: 180 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: 14 tests · 75 other EAs · 100 paths each

Wins and average usually pointed the same way for this EA. The grid board is the exception: #3 on wins but the best average.

Always pair wins with average profit and DD. Path types are FX EA Tester labels.

  • You treat simulator averages as proof of live profit
  • You only trust live Myfxbook / broker results

Our take

The Gold Reaper MT5 looked strong in these 90-day gold tests: plus on average on every board, first on wins on six, and the best average on seven — including a clear lead against the scalper group.

It may fit better if you want a known gold breakout EA that held up across many peer mixes and account settings. It may fit less well if you need the top result on the mixed popular boards, where Scalping Robot Pro led, or if the high list price needs live proof first.

Our take: Balanced — solid in several areas, with clear limits. Downloads stay on MetaTrader Market.

Every EA in a test uses the same FX EA Tester rules. We show results even when this EA is not first. These are research tests — not live trading. Read the risk disclosure.

FAQ

Is The Gold Reaper MT5 a gold-only EA?

Yes. The product is built for XAUUSD around support/resistance breakouts with multiple internal strategies.

Does it use grid or martingale?

The product says no grid and no martingale. Trades use stop loss and take profit, with trailing options. Still demo carefully — drawdowns happen.

Did it look strong in the gold tests?

Yes, in these 90-day tests. It averaged plus on all 14 boards (+$42 to +$108 on $1000), led wins on 6 and had the best average on 7. Scalping Robot Pro still led the mixed popular, MT4 and MT5 boards.

Is The Gold Reaper MT5 worth trying at about $949?

A careful demo can make sense if you want a known gold breakout EA that did well across many boards here. Weigh the high list price, and remember simulator averages are not a live record.

Which gold EAs looked stronger on averages?

On its boards, Scalping Robot Pro averaged more on the mixed popular, MT4 and MT5 boards (up to +$107.11), AurumEdge Scalper Pro on the scalper field, and Gold Zilla AI at 2% risk. Adaptive Gold Scalper MT5 and Orion Gold Scalper are researched options on this site.

Which boards were plus on average?

All 14. The best were the 180-day window (+$107.97, 84/100 in profit), the scalper group (+$84.82) and the scalper field (+$76.47). The smallest were the $300 account (+$25.07) and the 0.5% risk board (+$42.00).

How risky was drawdown?

Average max drawdown was about 7.9–10.0%. The worst path on a $1000 board fell about 16–29% (deepest at 2% risk, 28.52%), and 24.66% on the $300 board.

Did it face 100 gold EAs at once?

14 gold boards, 75 unique other EAs, 10 per board. Not 100 at once.

Do you have live results here?

No. These are FX EA Tester gold boards only — not live trading results.
