MT4 Gold Scalper EA
A free MT4 EA tuned for XAUUSD scalping: one trade at a time, fixed stop loss, cross-market confirmation and a time filter to avoid erratic sessions.
MT4 Gold Scalper EA is a free MetaTrader 4 expert advisor built to scalp short-lived inefficiencies on XAUUSD. It keeps only one open position at a time, attaches a fixed stop loss to each order and checks correlated instruments before entering.
The EA does not use grid or martingale. A time filter blocks trading during gaps, major news spikes and rollover windows to avoid erratic conditions. The package includes PDF install instructions and AutoFXRebate provides the download plus Telegram support for installation help.
Start on demo. This is a tight-edge scalper on gold and needs a low-spread ECN account and a VPS. Run it on demo for at least a week to confirm spread, execution and the EA's behaviour before risking real capital.

How it trades
The EA opens a single trade and sets a fixed stop loss when the order is placed. It does not average down or layer recovery positions, so losses are realised on each trade.
Before entering, the EA checks correlated instruments to filter out noisy ticks. A time filter also prevents entries in known volatile windows such as gaps, major news spikes and rollover.
Why spread and VPS matter
Scalping gold targets very small moves, so spread and slippage reduce or eliminate the edge. Use a raw or ECN account with consistently tight XAUUSD spreads because wider spreads during news can turn winners into losers.
A low-latency VPS keeps the EA connected and reduces execution delays on entries and stops. A home connection can miss closes or cause extra slippage that makes demo results differ from live.
Who this suits
Traders who want a straightforward single-position gold scalper and who can provide market conditions that suit small-target strategies: low spreads, stable liquidity and low latency.
This EA is not for traders who need multi-instrument diversification or expect a robot to smooth drawdowns with grid or martingale methods.
Features
- Single-position scalping: only one trade open at a time
- Cross-market confirmation checks correlated instruments before entry
- Hard stop loss attached at order submission for every trade
- Time filter that blocks gaps, news spikes and rollover windows
- Pre-optimised defaults for XAUUSD on H1
- No grid and no martingale included
Performance
Run the EA on demo with the broker and account type you plan to use live. Record trade frequency, typical stop-to-target distance and the deepest drawdown over at least one week. Use those figures to size lots and judge whether live conditions support a scalping edge.
Pros
- Clear risk design: fixed stop loss and single position expose real risk
- Cross-market filter helps avoid entries on isolated gold ticks
- Time filter keeps the EA out of the most chaotic session moments
- Free at AutoFXRebate with PDF install guide and Telegram support
Cons
- Highly sensitive to spread and slippage; requires a low-spread ECN account
- Concentrates risk on a single instrument, XAUUSD
- Needs a VPS for stable execution and to match demo behaviour
- No built-in diversification or multi-pair presets
Setup
- Download and unzip the MT4 Gold Scalper EA_Update package and copy the Experts folder contents into your terminal's MQL4/Experts directory
- Open the provided PDF titled How to install MT4 files.pdf and follow the steps for your terminal
- Restart MetaTrader 4 so the Expert appears in the Navigator and enable AutoTrading
- Open an XAUUSD H1 chart, attach the EA and start with default inputs; martingale and grid are not part of this EA
- Run the EA on a demo ECN account for at least one week, logging trade frequency, stop-to-target distances and the deepest drawdown observed
- If you go live, use a low-spread ECN account and run the EA on a reliable VPS; consider opening a live account through AutoFXRebate to receive backcom on every lot
Verdict
MT4 Gold Scalper EA suits traders who want a transparent, single-position approach to gold scalping and who can supply tight spreads, stable liquidity and low latency.
Start on demo with default settings, follow the setup steps above and go live only when demo drawdowns and signal behaviour match your risk tolerance. Download the package for free from AutoFXRebate and message the Telegram group for installation help.
