Introduction :


The Gold Reaper EA V2.1 MT4 stands as a monumental achievement in the specialized field of automated precious metals trading, now proudly hosted for the community at FXCracked.org. For years, the XAUUSD (Gold) market has been the graveyard of aspiring traders. Its unique combination of massive liquidity, extreme volatility, and sensitivity to geopolitical events makes it a beast that is incredibly difficult to tame with manual strategies alone. Human traders often succumb to emotional fatigue, hesitation during fast-moving breakouts, or the dreaded "revenge trading" after a stop loss is hit. The Gold Reaper EA V2.1 was developed to eliminate these human variables entirely. It is not merely a trading script; it is a comprehensive algorithmic system designed to navigate the treacherous waters of the Gold market with the precision of a surgeon and the ruthlessness of a machine.


The "V2.1" designation is significant. Previous iterations of Gold EAs often relied on simplistic grid systems that would profit for months only to blow the entire account during a single "Black Swan" event. The developers behind The Gold Reaper took a different approach for this update. They analyzed terabytes of tick data to understand the fractal nature of Gold's price movements. The result is a hybrid engine that combines trend-following logic with mean-reversion tactics. This allows the EA to profit during strong directional moves—like those seen during central bank announcements—while also scalping the ranges during quieter Asian sessions. For the members of FXCracked.org, accessing a tool of this caliber usually requires expensive monthly subscriptions or high upfront license fees. However, this unlocked version brings institutional-grade Gold trading technology to your desktop, allowing you to level the playing field against the high-frequency trading firms that dominate the market. Whether you are looking to pass a proprietary trading firm challenge or simply grow your personal wealth, The Gold Reaper EA V2.1 MT4 offers a robust, tested, and reliable solution.


Key features :



  • Dynamic Grid & Martingale Hybrid: While many traders fear the word "Martingale," The Gold Reaper employs a "Smart" version. It does not blindly double lots. Instead, it calculates the optimal recovery lot size based on the current market volatility (ATR) and distance from the average price. This allows the EA to recover from drawdowns much faster than traditional systems without exposing the account to infinite risk.

  • Trend Filter 2.0: The V2.1 update introduces a new multi-timeframe trend filter. Before opening a trade or a recovery grid, the EA scans the H1, H4, and D1 timeframes to determine the dominant market direction. It will not open a "Buy" grid if the higher timeframes are overwhelmingly bearish, significantly reducing the chance of being caught on the wrong side of a massive trend.

  • Integrated News Filter: Gold is the most news-sensitive asset in the world. The Gold Reaper connects to an external economic calendar to monitor high-impact events like NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls), CPI (Inflation Data), and FOMC meetings. You can configure the EA to automatically pause trading 60 minutes before and after these events, ensuring your capital is safe on the sidelines during periods of unpredictable slippage.

  • Equity Protection Module: This is the ultimate safety net. The EA allows you to set a "Max Drawdown Percentage." If the floating loss reaches this threshold (e.g., 20%), the EA effectively "pulls the plug," closing all trades immediately. This feature is crucial for preserving your capital to fight another day, preventing a total account blowout.

  • Time Management System: Understanding that Gold behaves differently during different times of the day, the EA includes a sophisticated scheduler. You can set it to scalp aggressively during the London-New York overlap when volume is high, or switch to a conservative mode during the low-liquidity Asian session.

  • Spread and Slippage Control: The Gold Reaper constantly monitors the broker's execution quality. If the spread widens beyond a user-defined limit—common during the daily market rollover—the EA will refuse to enter new trades. This protects you from starting a trade with a mathematical disadvantage.



Recommended settings :



  • Trading Platform: MetaTrader 4 (MT4). Ensure your build is updated to the latest version to prevent compatibility issues.

  • Symbol: XAUUSD (Gold). While some users experiment with silver or crypto, the algorithm is mathematically tuned specifically for Gold's volatility and pip value.

  • Timeframe: M15 (15-Minute) or M5 (5-Minute). The M15 timeframe offers a better balance of signal reliability and frequency, filtering out much of the noise found on the 1-minute chart.

  • Minimum Deposit: $1,000 for a Standard Account is the recommended safety buffer. If you have less capital, use a Cent Account (where $10 = 1,000 cents) to allow the EA enough room to breathe.

  • Leverage: 1:500. This strategy requires margin to maintain open positions during the recovery phase. Lower leverage (like 1:30 or 1:50) is not suitable for this specific EA.

  • Lot Size: 0.01 lots for every $1,000 of capital. Do not be tempted to increase this on a Standard account unless you are highly experienced. Over-leveraging is the #1 cause of failure with Gold EAs.

  • VPS: A high-performance Virtual Private Server is non-negotiable. You need 99.99% uptime and low latency (<20ms) to the broker server. Running this on a home PC with unstable internet is a recipe for disaster.

  • Broker: Use an ECN or Raw Spread broker. Gold spreads can eat into profits significantly. You want a broker with tight spreads and low commissions.


Backtest result :


The development team and beta testers at FXCracked have subjected The Gold Reaper EA V2.1 MT4 to rigorous backtesting protocols to verify its stability. Using "Tick Data Suite" with 99.9% modelling quality—which simulates real variable spreads and slippage—the EA was tested over a 24-month period covering the volatile years of 2023 and 2024.



  • Win Rate: The initial entry win rate stands at approximately 65%. However, when including the recovery mechanism, the "closed trade" win rate approaches 90%.

  • Profit Factor: The system generated a Profit Factor of 1.85. This means for every $1.00 lost in a losing trade, the system generated $1.85 in profit.

  • Drawdown: With the recommended "Low Risk" settings, the maximum relative drawdown was contained below 25%. This is a commendable figure for a Gold strategy, which often sees drawdowns of 40-50% on aggressive bots.

  • Monthly Return: On average, the EA produced monthly returns ranging from 8% to 15%, depending on market volatility.

  • Stress Test: The EA successfully navigated several market crashes and flash pumps without hitting the Equity Protection stop, proving the resilience of the Trend Filter 2.0 logic. (Note: Past performance in backtests does not guarantee future results in live trading. Always test on a demo account first.)


Installation guide :



  1. Download: Download the "The Gold Reaper EA V2.1.rar" file from the FXCracked.org download section. Extract the files to your desktop.

  2. Open Data Folder: Launch your MetaTrader 4 terminal. Go to File in the top-left menu and select Open Data Folder.

  3. Install Expert Advisor: Navigate to the MQL4 folder, and then open the Experts folder. Copy the The Gold Reaper EA V2.1.ex4 file into this directory.

  4. Install Libraries (Critical): If the download includes a msimg32.dll or similar library file (often required for unlocked software), copy this file into the Root Directory of your MT4 installation. This is the folder that contains the terminal.exe file, not the MQL4 folder.

  5. Install Presets: If a Presets folder is included in the download, copy the .set files to MQL4/Presets.

  6. Refresh: Restart your MT4 terminal or right-click the Navigator panel and select Refresh.

  7. Attach: Open a XAUUSD chart on the M15 timeframe. Drag "The Gold Reaper EA V2.1" from the Navigator onto the chart.

  8. Allow Permissions: In the pop-up window, go to the Common tab. Ensure that "Allow Live Trading" and "Allow DLL Imports" are checked. (DLL imports are essential for the unlocked version to function).

  9. Load Settings: Go to the Inputs tab, click Load, and select the appropriate preset file (e.g., Gold_Reaper_Safe_1k.set).

  10. Activate: Click OK. Verify that the AutoTrading button on the top toolbar is Green and that there is a smiley face in the top-right corner of the chart.



Advantage :



  • Automation: Completely hands-free trading. Once set up, the EA handles all analysis, entries, and exits, allowing you to profit from the market while you sleep or work.

  • Emotion Removal: The biggest advantage is psychological. The EA does not get scared when the price drops; it executes its mathematical logic flawlessly, avoiding the panic selling that ruins human traders.

  • High Profit Potential: Gold is a high-volatility asset. When the EA catches a strong trend or a clean reversal, the account growth can be exponential compared to slow currency pairs like EURUSD.

  • Community Support: Being available on FXCracked means you have access to a community of users who are testing, tweaking, and sharing set files. You are not trading alone.

  • Flexibility: The abundance of settings allows you to tailor the EA to your risk appetite. You can run it as a safe, slow grower or an aggressive account flipper.


Disadvantage :



  • Risk of Ruin: As with any EA that uses grid/martingale recovery components, there is a non-zero risk of losing the entire account if the market moves thousands of pips without a retracement.

  • Broker Dependency: Results can vary wildly between brokers. A broker with high slippage or stop-hunting practices can turn a winning EA into a losing one.

  • VPS Cost: To run this effectively, you must pay for a monthly VPS subscription, which is an additional overhead cost.

  • Complexity: The vast number of settings in V2.1 can be overwhelming for beginners. Using the wrong settings (e.g., wrong lot size) can lead to immediate losses.


Conclusion :


The Gold Reaper EA V2.1 MT4 is a sophisticated weapon for the modern trader's arsenal. It represents the perfect marriage between aggressive growth potential and defensive risk management mechanisms.

We highly recommend downloading The Gold Reaper EA V2.1, installing it on a demo account, and observing its behavior for at least two weeks.
