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?
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.
- H1 timeframe on gold
- 2 built-in strategies
- $250 minimum deposit
- 12/14 gold boards with plus average
How Vortex Gold EA trades
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
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.

- like picking a strategy and risk level instead of tuning many inputs

- 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.
Independent gold tests
- Coverage: 14 tests · 71 other gold EAs · 100 paths each · 90 days (one 180-day board)
- Profit: positive average on 12 of 14 boards; on $1000 from −$7.38 (grid stress) to +$32.51 (180-day)
- Wins: never first; best finish #2 at 0.5% risk. Last on wins on grid stress (0/100)
- Never the best average; small gains on the mixed (+$3.04) and MT5 (+$5.54) boards
- Usual drawdown about 7.7–10.3%; worst $1000 paths about 19–31%

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.

So… is Vortex Gold EA worth trying?
Where it looked stronger or weaker
Fit by condition uses FX EA Tester peer groups, not a live product claim.
Better in these test mixes
- 0.5% risk — its best finish, #2 on wins (14/100), +$23.80, 60/100 in profit
- Scalper peer group — #3 on wins (19/100), +$31.06
- 180-day window — third-best average (+$32.51), its shallowest $1000 worst path (19.49%)
- $300 account — third-best average (+$16.33), 65/100 in profit
Weaker in these test mixes
- Grid / recovery stress — last on wins (0/100), −$7.38
- Scalper field — −$3.37, only 45/100 in profit
- Mixed popular — +$3.04, 47/100 in profit
- $5000 account — #9 on wins (8/100, tied)
- 2% risk — deepest $1000 worst path (31.31%)
Strong points
- Positive average on 12 of 14 boards, no washouts
- #2 on wins at 0.5% risk; #3 in the scalper group
- Third-best average on the $300 and 180-day boards
- Hard stop loss on every position; no martingale
- Simple setup: pick a strategy and a risk level
Weak points
- Never first on wins and never the best average
- Negative on grid stress (−$7.38) and the scalper field (−$3.37)
- Small gains on the mixed (+$3.04) and MT5 (+$5.54) boards
- Only 45–65 of 100 paths in profit
- Worst path reached 33.69% on $300 and 31.31% at 2% risk
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
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.

When: You want the EA that led the mixed, MT4 and MT5 boards
Scalping Robot Pro has a full research page and led the mixed popular board (33/100, +$78.55) and the MT4 and MT5 boards on wins.
When: You want a gold EA that led the trend board
Gold Vanguard has a full research page, led the trend board (+$97.63) and had the best average on grid stress (+$97.07).
When: You want a stronger result in a scalper field
Adaptive Gold Scalper has a full research page and led the scalper field on wins and average (+$94.35).
When: You want a better average at low risk
TwisterPro has a full research page and had the best average at 0.5% risk (+$31.10).

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
1) Note the main finding: positive on 12 of 14 boards, but thin gains and never first.
2) Compare Scalping Robot Pro MT5 and Gold Vanguard EA below.
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.
