Enter Haven Gold Miner EA V1.0 MT5—a free, lightweight EA that automates your gold scalping strategy with precision, razor-thin stops, and smart risk management.


Trading gold doesn’t have to be a constant uphill battle. Haven Gold Miner EA brings algorithmic discipline to your MetaTrader 5 terminal, putting you in the driver’s seat for consistent micro-profits. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or an institutional trader, this EA aims to simplify entries and exits, cut out emotional decision-making, and deliver steady growth day after day.



Overview


Haven Gold Miner EA was crafted by a team of MT5 strategy developers and quant analysts who specialize in precious metals. It leverages trend and mean-reversion signals, fused with volatility filters, to pinpoint the most opportune scalp trades on XAUUSD. Fully backtested over five years of tick data and fine-tuned in live-market conditions, this EA strikes a balance between profit potential and controlled drawdown.


Under the hood, the EA scans multiple timeframes for micro-trends, tweaks lot sizing dynamically based on account equity, and employs hidden stop-losses to stay under the radar of broker hunters. It’s coded in MQL5 with performance in mind—minimal CPU overhead and lightning-fast order execution.

Core Strategy




  1. Multi-Timeframe Signal Confirmation




    • Scans the 1M, 5M, and 15M charts for aligned moving average crossovers and momentum divergences.






  2. Volatility Sieve




    • Uses an Average True Range (ATR) filter to ensure trades only fire when gold’s volatility is in an optimal range.






  3. Adaptive Position Sizing




    • Calculates lot sizes as a percentage of free margin, capping maximum risk per trade at 1%.






  4. Hidden Risk Management




    • Implements stealthy stop-loss and take-profit levels to bypass broker stop-hunting algorithms.






By combining signal confirmation across timeframes with volatility gating and adaptive sizing, Haven Gold Miner EA maintains a low drawdown profile while targeting frequent small wins—typically 1–2% of account equity per day.
