Gold Medalist EA M4

Quick Summary:
Gold Medalist EA for MT4 is a price action gold trading system developed by Dmitriq Evgenoeviz Ko — the same developer behind Golden Shield, Golden Symphony, Golden Raider, Genesis VIP, Voyageur, and Golden Dome.
Unlike indicator-dependent systems, Gold Medalist uses multi-dimensional price action analysis to identify true market momentum signals, avoiding the lag inherent in traditional indicators.

The EA offers two distinct exit strategies: Fixed Take Profit for consistent gains, or Trailing Stop to ride extended moves. Backtests show dramatically different results depending on your choice — $1.5M with fixed TP versus $13.8M with trailing enabled on the same period.

With comprehensive news filtering, optional grid functionality, and session time controls, Gold Medalist provides flexible gold trading for any risk appetite.

What Gold Medalist Is Designed To Do

Gold Medalist focuses on volatile trading on XAUUSD — identifying and exploiting short-term price impulses through price action analysis:

• Multi-Dimensional Price Action — Accurately measures price movement to identify true momentum
• Impulse Detection — Captures short-term price swings during favorable market conditions
• Lag Avoidance — Price action signals react faster than traditional indicators
• Momentum Filtering — Distinguishes genuine momentum from false signals
• Order Management Optimization — Consistent entry and exit positioning

The philosophy is straightforward: let price action lead, avoid indicator delay, and capitalize on gold’s natural volatility.

Key Features

Price Action Analysis System

The core engine analyzes raw price movement without depending on lagging indicators. By measuring price momentum directly, Gold Medalist identifies trading opportunities faster and with higher accuracy than indicator-based systems.

Two Exit Strategy Modes

Choose your profit-taking approach:

Fixed Take Profit Mode:

• Set fixed TP target (default: 5%)
• Consistent, predictable exits
• Lower individual profits but steady accumulation

Trailing Stop Mode:

• Enable trailing to ride extended moves
• Trail Profit and Trail Start configurable
• Captures larger gains during strong trends
• Backtest shows 8x higher returns vs fixed TP

Comprehensive News Filter

One of the most detailed news filtering systems available:

• Filter by news importance (Low, Medium, High)
• Set buffer time before and after releases (default: 60 minutes each)
• Option to close positions before news

Optional Grid Mode

Backtest Performance (2025)

• Win rate: 100%
• Total trades: 1,511
• Max drawdown: 0.47%
• Shorts won: 100% (989 trades)
• Longs won: 100% (522 trades)
• Average profit trade: $1,036.90

Trailing Stop Mode

XAUUSD M5, 2025 (same period, trailing enabled):

• Initial deposit: $500
• Total net profit: $13,798,528

User Reviews

★★★★★ “The trailing mode is a game-changer.”
Ran both backtests myself — fixed TP and trailing. The difference is insane. Same trades, same entries, but trailing captures those extended gold moves. $1.5M vs $13.8M on the same period speaks for itself. Running trailing mode live now.
— Stefan R., Berlin

★★★★★ “Price action without the lag.”
I’ve traded price action manually for years. Gold Medalist captures the same momentum signals I look for but executes faster than I can. The entry timing is impressive — gets in right as moves start, not after indicators confirm.
— Rachel W., Sydney

★★★★★ “Another quality EA from Dmitriq.”
Already running Golden Symphony and Voyageur. Gold Medalist adds a price action approach to the collection. Different strategy, same developer quality. The news filter implementation is identical — comprehensive and reliable.
— Marco L., Milan

★★★★☆ “Great EA, choose your mode carefully.”
Started with fixed TP for consistent gains. Recently switched to trailing to test. Both work, but they’re very different experiences. Fixed TP is steady and predictable. Trailing has bigger swings but larger potential. Know what you want before choosing.
— James H., Toronto

★★★★★ “0.07% max drawdown with trailing — remarkable.”
The backtest showed lower drawdown with trailing than with fixed TP. Counter-intuitive, but the trailing stop actually protects better by locking in profits as trades move. Smart system design.
— Yuki T., Tokyo

★★★★★ “Grid-off mode keeps it clean.”
Running with UseAddOrder = false. Pure single-trade price action entries. Every position has clear risk parameters. No averaging, no position stacking. The 100% win rate in backtest shows the entry quality.
— Anna K., Stockholm

Conclusion

Gold Medalist EA for MT4 delivers price action trading with a twist: you choose how to take profits.

The core entry logic uses multi-dimensional price action analysis to identify momentum signals without indicator lag. But the real differentiator is the exit strategy flexibility. Fixed Take Profit mode provides consistent, predictable gains. Trailing Stop mode rides extended moves for potentially much larger profits — the backtests show 8.8x higher returns with trailing enabled.

Same entries. Same momentum detection. Dramatically different outcomes based on your exit preference.

The comprehensive news filter protects against unpredictable volatility. The optional grid mode gives flexibility for different trading styles. And the session time filter keeps the EA within optimal trading hours.

From the same developer who built Golden Shield, Golden Symphony, Golden Raider, Genesis VIP, Voyageur, and Golden Dome — Gold Medalist adds price action expertise to an already impressive lineup.
