Installed directly from the MQL5 marketplace
Always the most current release. Future updates downloaded from your MT5 Market tab.
Installed from the official MQL5 marketplace — identical to buying direct
This is the same EA you'd get from MQL5. Same .ex5 file, same developer, same future updates, same everything. The only difference is the price.
Why it's cheaper: we buy MQL5 licenses in bulk and pass the volume discount on to you. That's the entire business model — no tricks, no expiration, no compromise.
This is NOT a crack. Cracked EAs have modified code, no updates, no support, and security risks. Ours is the unmodified original, installed directly from MQL5, with full lifetime updates available from your MT5 Market tab.
If you bought this same EA on MQL5 today, you'd receive the identical product — for double the price.
We'll recommend a Windows VPS and set everything up for you
A Windows VPS is a remote computer in a data centre that runs your EA 24/7. Most of our customers had never used one before — and almost all are surprised how good they are.
You'll be able to: keep your home PC off, log in from your phone anywhere in the world, and forget about power cuts, internet outages, and Windows updates interrupting your trading.
Our recommendation: Contabo Cloud VPS 10 with Windows Server — 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, ~$14/month all-in on the 12-month plan. Plenty for multiple MT5 terminals.
Once your VPS is ready, send us the login and we'll install MT5, install your EA, and have it trading within minutes. Already have a VPS or want to use your own machine? That works too.
Avoid the MQL5 VPS — it's not a real VPS. You can't log into it, can't see what's happening, and can't troubleshoot. A proper Windows VPS gives you full control.

Quick Summary:
Sharkyra Gold for MT5 by Nico Demus Sitepu is a XAUUSD-only Expert Advisor that uses multi-timeframe trend analysis to take scalping entries on the M5 timeframe. Each trade carries a defined stop loss and take profit — the developer’s stated design excludes grids, martingale, and averaging. The system ships with a developer-supplied preset file for IC Markets (the same broker used on the public live signal) and includes a built-in news filter that pauses trading around high-impact economic releases when MetaTrader’s WebRequest setting is configured. A real-money MQL5 live signal has been running on IC Markets since May 2026.
Official MQL5 Listing:
Sharkyra Gold — MQL5 Marketplace
Developer’s Live Signal:
Sharkyra — MQL5 live signal (IC Markets)
Why Sharkyra Gold
- Gold specialist — designed exclusively for XAUUSD on the M5 timeframe
- Multi-timeframe trend analysis — entries taken from confirmed trend signals across multiple timeframes, not a single indicator
- Defined SL/TP on every trade — the developer’s stated design excludes grids, martingale, and averaging
- Built-in news filter — auto-pauses trading around high-impact economic releases via the WebRequest setting
- IC Markets preset included — developer-supplied .set file calibrated for the same broker used on the live signal
- Public MQL5 live signal — real-money monitoring on IC Markets from launch
- Real-tick backtest — multi-month backtest at 99% history quality with credible LR linearity
How It Works
Sharkyra Gold continuously analyses XAUUSD across multiple timeframes to identify confirmed trend conditions, then takes scalping entries on the M5 timeframe when the trend signals align. Every position carries a defined stop loss and take profit — there is no basket structure, no lot multiplication, and no averaging logic that builds positions during adverse moves.
The architecture decision that matters most is the news filter. Most XAUUSD scalpers get caught by NFP, CPI, or FOMC releases — those are the moments when spreads widen, slippage spikes, and short-term trend models break down. Sharkyra Gold uses MetaTrader’s WebRequest mechanism to pull economic calendar data from a standard public feed (nfs.faireconomy.media), and automatically pauses trading around high-impact releases. The setup is a one-time configuration in MetaTrader’s options, and the EA handles the rest.
The included IC Markets preset is a useful starting point — calibrated for the broker the developer’s live signal runs on, so it removes the early guesswork of where to set parameters. Validation on your own account is still recommended, but the preset gives you a sensible baseline.
Live Signal & Backtest Snapshot
- Live signal: IC Markets at 1:500, real money, ~3 weeks tracked at the time of writing
- Live growth: ~+63% from a $300 starting deposit (the developer’s recommended minimum)
- Live win rate: ~90% on the early sample
- Live maximum drawdown: 2.8% (a small sample — realistic worst-case will be higher)
- Backtest period: January 2025 – May 2026, real-tick data at 99% history quality
- Backtest result: Profit factor 4.23, 88.17% win rate across 482 trades, 5.11% balance / 8.59% equity drawdown, LR correlation 0.92
The early numbers are encouraging, but three weeks of live data is too short to support strong conclusions about long-term behaviour. Our full review breaks down what to read into the numbers honestly and what to wait on.

Risk Disclaimer
XAUUSD scalping on M5 is highly sensitive to broker execution quality, spread, and slippage — results on one broker can differ meaningfully from results on another. The developer’s live signal is young at the time of writing, so the long-term behaviour of the strategy across different gold regimes is not yet established. Gold is subject to sharp news-driven volatility (NFP, CPI, FOMC, geopolitical events) that can stretch the strategy beyond normal parameters, which is why correct configuration of the WebRequest news filter is important. The backtest’s low drawdown figure reflects a single test window; the realistic live drawdown over a longer period will likely sit higher. This is also a debut product from a relatively new developer — buyer history, catalogue credibility, and long-term performance are still being established. Test on demo on your intended broker first, use conservative position sizing while validating, and never deploy capital you cannot afford to lose. Past performance — backtest or live — does not guarantee future results.

FAQs
What is Sharkyra Gold EA?
A XAUUSD-only Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 by Nico Demus Sitepu. It uses multi-timeframe trend analysis to take scalping entries on the M5 timeframe, with defined stop loss and take profit on every trade. The developer’s stated approach excludes grids, martingale, and averaging. A built-in news filter automatically pauses trading around high-impact economic releases when MetaTrader’s WebRequest setting is configured.
What broker and account type do I need?
A hedging account on a broker offering XAUUSD with low spreads and fast execution. ECN or Raw Spread accounts are preferred. The developer’s live signal runs on IC Markets at 1:500 leverage, and a developer-supplied preset is included specifically for IC Markets. Match leverage to your jurisdiction’s availability.
What deposit should I start with?
The developer’s recommended minimum balance is $300, and the live signal runs at exactly that. More headroom is sensible while you validate behaviour on your own broker. Start conservative on lot sizing and step up only after you’ve watched the EA on your account for several weeks.
What chart timeframe should I attach it to?
The M5 chart is the developer’s recommended host. The EA uses multi-timeframe trend analysis internally, so it reads multiple timeframes regardless of which chart it’s attached to — the M5 host chart is the EA’s home, not its sole data source.
How do I set up the news filter?
The news filter requires MetaTrader’s WebRequest setting to be configured with the economic calendar URL (https://nfs.faireconomy.media/). In MT5, go to Tools → Options → Expert Advisors, tick “Allow WebRequest for listed URL”, and add the URL. The EA then auto-pauses around high-impact news. Documentation is included on the listing.
Does it work on MT4?
No. Sharkyra Gold is built for MetaTrader 5 only.
Do I need a VPS?
Yes — strongly recommended. The EA scalps the M5 timeframe and uses a news filter that needs continuous internet, so a stable 24/5 low-latency VPS near your broker’s server is the right setup.
Why buy from CheaperForex instead of the MQL5 marketplace?
The product is identical — same EA, same updates from the developer. You pay significantly less. Our full review covers both the architectural strengths (news filter, defined SL/TP, IC Markets preset) and the honest caveats (debut product, young live signal) before you buy.

Because it's an official MQL5 marketplace activation, you receive all future updates automatically — they arrive straight to your MT5 from the developer, no action needed on your part.
This is actually how you know you're getting the real thing. MQL5 marketplace EAs are protected and can only be installed through official activation. Anyone offering a downloadable .ex5 file is selling a fake or cracked copy that won't work properly and won't receive updates.
Yes — this is a lifetime license. Once activated, it's yours permanently with no expiry, no renewals and no ongoing fees.
Each purchase covers a single computer activation. On that machine you can run it across multiple MT5 terminals and use it with as many broker accounts as you like. If you need it on a second computer, you'd need a second license.
Most customers install on a VPS they'll run for years and never need to think about it again. It's the trade-off for getting the same official product at a fraction of the MQL5 price.
You receive the official MQL5 license activated directly in your MT5 terminal, lifetime updates from the developer delivered automatically, and fast support from our team via Telegram and email.
If the developer provides any official user guides, presets or set files, we'll get them from the developer and send them straight to you. If the EA has an official community group, we'll do our best to get you access to that too.
If you change your mind before we activate the product in your MT5 terminal, you get a full refund — no questions asked.
Once activated, refunds are no longer available. This isn't a policy choice on our end — MQL5 licenses can't be deactivated once issued. The license is permanently yours and cannot be revoked or transferred back, so we can't reclaim it to refund the cost.
