Vortex Gold EA Download — H1 Gold EA with Two Strategies

Vortex Gold EA is a MetaTrader 5 gold (XAUUSD) EA for the H1 chart with two built-in strategies, a hard stop loss on every position and no martingale. In independent 90-day XAUUSD tests against other gold EAs it averaged positive on 12 of 14 boards, but the gains were often small and it never finished first.

What is Vortex Gold EA?

Vortex Gold EA is by Stanislav Tomilov, a developer from Russia who also sells One Gold, Neurox AI and the Aura series. It was released in November 2024 and is on version 3.15. A separate MT4 edition, Vortex Gold MT4, is sold on its own listing. It is not the same product as Vortex Turbo EA, a gold scalper from the same developer.

The EA trades gold on the 1-hour chart. It has two independent strategies, and each one can add extra orders to a position. The listing names CCI and Parabolic SAR as the main indicators, plus a neural-network layer that cannot be checked from outside. Every position has a hard stop loss and take profit, and the listing says no martingale is used.

You pick a strategy and a risk level, and the EA sets the rest. To see how it held up next to other gold EAs, we ran it through 14 FX EA Tester gold tests with the same rules for every EA — the results are on this page.

How Vortex Gold EA trades

Attach the EA to an XAUUSD H1 chart. It runs two independent strategies built on CCI and Parabolic SAR signals.

Each strategy can open additional orders on top of the first trade, so more than one position can be open at a time. All positions are covered by a hard stop loss and a take profit, and the listing says no martingale is used.

Other tools on the listing: a trailing stop, spread and slippage filters, and drawdown control with adaptive lot sizing, which is why it is listed as prop-firm ready.

What you can set

Setup is mostly two choices: which strategy to run and which risk level to use. The EA then sizes trades for you.

If you want more control, you can change the stop loss, take profit, reward-to-risk ratio, lot size and trailing stop. Lower risk levels run on 1:30 leverage; higher ones need 1:100 or more.

Start on demo with a low risk level, and watch how many extra orders each strategy adds before you go live.

Requirements

  • MetaTrader 5 (or the separate MT4 edition)
  • Gold / XAUUSD on the H1 chart
  • From $250; $500 or more recommended
  • Leverage 1:30 for lower risk, 1:100+ for higher
  • A good ECN broker and a VPS

A good fit if you

  • want a slower H1 gold EA rather than a fast scalper
  • want a hard stop loss on every position and no martingale
  • like picking a strategy and risk level instead of tuning many inputs
  • trade prop-firm style accounts and want drawdown control
  • want an independent check before paying $755

Not a fit if you need

  • an EA that tops gold-EA tests — it never finished first in the 14 below
  • strictly one trade at a time — both strategies can add orders
  • many trades a day — it works on the 1-hour chart
  • fully explained rules — the neural-network part is not described
  • a live Myfxbook / broker statement copied here as proof

Key risks and how to reduce them

What can go wrong

  • Additional orders mean several positions can be open at once, so a bad move can hit more than one trade.
  • Higher risk levels need 1:100+ leverage; drawdown grows with the setting.
  • The neural-network wording cannot be checked from outside — judge it by results, not the label.
  • The listing price is set to rise as copies sell; check the live figure.
  • Spread and broker execution still matter, even on H1.

Safer first steps

  • Demo on your own broker for several weeks.
  • Start with the lowest risk level.
  • Try one strategy at a time and note how many extra orders it adds.
  • Keep leverage and deposit within the listing's guidance.
  • Set your own maximum account-loss limit before going live.

What to know before you download

  • Choose MT5 (price $755) or the separate MT4 edition (price $699.99) — they are two products.
  • Plan for at least $250, and 1:100+ leverage if you want the higher risk levels.
  • MT5 was $755 to buy or $395 for 1 year on 1 Oct 2026 — check the live figure.
  • Know the model: H1, two strategies with additional orders, hard stop loss, no martingale.
  • Independent 90-day gold tests were positive on 12 of 14 boards, but often by small amounts — read them before you buy.

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

Weakest here: Vortex Gold EA vs gold scalper peers (45/100). A board can clear ~half its paths and still lose money on average.

Where did it finish on wins?

#2 best finish · Vortex Gold EA gold @ 0.5% risk (14 firsts)

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

How the tests work

Gold (XAUUSD) boards only. Vortex Gold EA ran with nine other EAs per board, on the same deposit, lot and risk settings and the same 100 paths over 90 days (180 days on the longer-window board). Across the 14 tests it met 71 other gold EAs.

Conditions covered: mixed popular, MT4, MT5, scalper, trend, AI, hybrid and grid fields, plus 0.5% and 2% risk, $300 and $5000 accounts, and 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 (same rules for every EA in a test)
  • Coverage: 14 tests · 71 other EAs · 100 paths each

For Vortex Gold EA, the averages swing from small losses to modest gains. It finished in the top three on wins on only two boards and was never the best on average, so the leaders' numbers are the useful comparison.

Paths in profit (45–65 of 100) and worst drawdown show how far a single path could go. Path-type notes are FX EA Tester labels.

Reasons it may fit you

  • You want a slower H1 gold EA with a hard stop and accept modest results
  • You like choosing a strategy and risk level over detailed tuning
  • You will demo before using real money

Reasons to be careful

  • You want an EA that leads gold-EA tests
  • You want strictly one trade at a time
  • You only trust live Myfxbook / broker results

Our take

Vortex Gold EA has a clear setup: an H1 gold EA with two strategies, a hard stop loss on every position and no martingale. Each strategy can add extra orders, so it is not strictly one trade at a time.

In these 90-day gold tests it was mostly positive but rarely near the top. It averaged positive on 12 of 14 boards with no washouts, yet the gains were often small, it never finished first or had the best average, and it lost money on average on the grid stress and scalper-field boards.

Our take: Mixed — strengths and weak spots both show. The risk controls are sensible, but the tests do not show it beating the leaders. Demo first and compare the EAs below. 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

Where do I download Vortex Gold EA?

The Download link on this page goes to the official MetaTrader 5 product. An MT4 edition is sold separately. Demo first before any live use.

Is Vortex Gold EA the same as Vortex Turbo EA?

No. Both are by Stanislav Tomilov, but Vortex Turbo EA is a separate gold scalper. This page covers Vortex Gold EA only.

How much does Vortex Gold EA cost?

On 1 Oct 2026 the MT5 version was $755 to buy or $395 for 1 year, and the MT4 edition was $699.99. The listing says the price rises as copies sell, so check the download page.

Does it use a grid or martingale?

The listing says no martingale, with a hard stop loss and take profit on every position. Each of its two strategies can add extra orders, so more than one position can be open at a time.

What does it need to run?

MetaTrader 5, an XAUUSD H1 chart and at least $250 ($500 or more recommended). Lower risk levels work with 1:30 leverage; higher ones need 1:100 or more. A good ECN broker and a VPS are recommended.

How did it do in the gold tests?

Mostly positive but thin. It averaged positive on 12 of 14 boards over 90 days, but it never finished first on wins, never had the best average, and lost money on average on the grid stress and scalper-field boards.

Where did it do best?

At 0.5% risk it was #2 on wins (14/100), and in the scalper group it was #3 (+$31.06). It also had the third-best average on the $300 and 180-day boards.

How deep was the drawdown?

Average max drawdown stayed between about 7.7% and 10.3%. Worst paths reached about 19–31% on $1000 boards, 33.69% on the $300 account and 17.40% on $5000.

Is Vortex Gold EA worth $755?

It has a hard stop on every position and a simple setup, but other gold EAs earned more on almost every board. Compare Scalping Robot Pro and Gold Vanguard EA first, and demo it if you still prefer its H1 style.

Did it face 100 gold EAs at once?

No. 14 gold boards, 71 unique other EAs, 10 per board.

Are these live trading results?

No. These are FX EA Tester gold boards, not live trading results. Marketplace reviews and live signals are not checked here.

What to do next

3) ZIP downloads are optional rank files.
4) If you try it, demo at the lowest risk level, one strategy at a time, and count the extra orders it adds.
