Quick Summary:
Spider Gold EA for MT5 is a XAUUSD H1 Gold-only Expert Advisor by Indonesian developer Muhammad Zahran Rahmadi Putra, alongside his sister product Mosquito EA. The system trades with defined risk per trade and exposes an on-chart panel showing live spread, the active risk percentage and lot size, and an upcoming high-impact news event readout — the same operational architecture as the Mosquito sibling, with a different underlying strategy. A 15-week public MQL5 live signal on IC Markets backs the system with real-money evidence, and the 16-month real-tick backtest produces an LR correlation of 0.95 — credible-range territory that suggests forward-looking validity rather than curve-fit optimisation.

Why Spider Gold EA
- Gold specialist — designed exclusively for XAUUSD on the H1 timeframe
- Defined risk per trade — configurable risk percentage and lot size inputs, with the active settings visible on the on-chart panel at all times
- Live spread monitoring — the on-chart panel displays current spread alongside risk settings, so the operational context is visible at a glance
- High-impact news event readout — economic events including FOMC, BOE, GDP releases displayed directly on the chart panel for operational awareness
- LR 0.95 backtest correlation — sits firmly in the credible range (0.85-0.98 is what robust live strategies typically produce), not the suspiciously-clean 0.99/1.00 territory we flag on other products
- 15-week public live signal — meaningfully longer real-money track record than the developer’s sister product Mosquito EA, on IC Markets
- 94.5% backtest win rate across 293 trades — with a profit factor of 6.44 and equity drawdown of 9.79%
- Maximum 2 consecutive losses in backtest — defined-risk trade discipline, no grid or martingale signature
- Sister product available — Mosquito EA MT5 from the same developer (covered in our Mosquito editorial review)
15 Weeks Live on IC Markets

The 15-week live history is the strongest single piece of evidence on Spider Gold — meaningfully longer than the typical 7-to-8-week signal we see on newly-launched gold products, including the developer’s own Mosquito EA. Operational metrics: 85.7% profit trades, 14.3% loss trades (a realistic distribution rather than a suspicious 100% rate), 4.4% maximum drawdown, 5.5% max deposit load, 19.4% trading activity. ICMarkets SC MT5 broker at 1:400 leverage.
One important honesty point on this signal: the headline 237% growth figure is calculated against the $400 initial deposit, but the account has been actively managed across the 15 weeks with substantial deposits and withdrawals (cumulative deposits of $9,719 and cumulative withdrawals of $10,400 at the time of writing). The cleanest evidence on actual trading performance is the cumulative profit figure (~$854) and the operational metrics above. Our full review walks through the deposit-context interpretation in detail.
10 Consecutive Wins Since Launch

The Spider Gold launch period has produced 10 consecutive winning trades — observable directly on the developer’s live MQL5 chart, with each trade visible as a marker. The on-chart panel visible in the screenshot shows the spread (0.5 pips), the active risk percentage (3.0), the lot size (0.01), and the high-impact news event readout. Combined with the 15-week broader live history, the launch-period streak suggests the strategy’s defined-risk discipline is operating as designed in current live conditions.
How to read this honestly: a 10-trade winning streak is encouraging but, like any short streak, it doesn’t extrapolate. The backtest’s 5.46% loss-trade rate across 293 trades is the more realistic forward expectation — assume the live system will start taking losses at roughly that rate as it encounters different market conditions.

Risk Disclaimer
Trading XAUUSD on the H1 timeframe involves significant volatility (NFP, CPI, FOMC, geopolitical events). The 16-month real-tick backtest at 99% history quality is encouraging evidence — the LR correlation of 0.95 sits in the credible range and the trade-level discipline (maximum 2 consecutive losses across 293 trades) is consistent. Live results will still differ from backtest figures due to broker execution differences, real-world spread variation, and edge cases the test didn’t model. The developer’s published live signal runs with active deposit and withdrawal management, which means the 237% headline growth figure needs deposit-context reading rather than being taken at face value (covered in our full review). The backtest also shows asymmetric trade-size distribution — average wins are smaller than average losses, with the high win rate compensating mathematically — so position sizing discipline matters. 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.
