Quick Summary:
Logan MT5 EA by Thierry Ouellet is a fully automated XAUUSD (Gold) Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5, running on the M15 timeframe. It is a selective grid-recovery system — and the developer says so plainly rather than hiding it. Six entry conditions must align before a position opens, so the majority of trades close on the first entry without the recovery grid engaging; when recovery is needed, spacing adapts to current ATR instead of using fixed steps. Capital protection comes from a configurable daily drawdown limit, maximum spread protection and session filters. Three public live signals track it across two brokers at different risk levels.

Why Logan MT5 EA
- Gold specialist on M15 — built specifically for XAUUSD rather than a generic multi-symbol EA
- Six-condition entry filter — multi-timeframe EMA alignment, ADX trend strength, tick volume against recent activity, ATR volatility range, spread suitability and candle momentum must all be satisfied before a trade opens
- Trades less, not more — selectivity means the majority of positions close on the initial entry without the recovery grid engaging
- ATR-adaptive recovery spacing — order distance expands or contracts with real volatility instead of using fixed grid steps
- Configurable daily drawdown limit — stops new positions once realised plus floating losses hit your chosen percentage, with an optional close-all, resetting the next trading day
- Execution filters — maximum spread protection and trading session filters restrict operation to suitable conditions and your preferred hours
- Broker profiles — a broker type setting applies the appropriate internal configuration, including a dedicated Exness profile
- Three public live signals — real-money monitoring across two brokers at different risk levels
Live Signal Snapshot

- Broker: VT Markets at 1:500 leverage, 5 weeks tracked
- Verifiable record: CAD 2,400 initial deposit to about CAD 2,925 equity — roughly 22% genuine growth with zero deposits and zero withdrawals
- Profit trades: 93.6% with 6.4% loss trades
- Max drawdown: 9.9%
- Max deposit load: 4.1% — low concurrent exposure, indicating the recovery grid stayed shallow
- Trading activity: 8.5% — selective rather than constant

The TitanFX account is the longer record at 12 weeks, with an 11.5% maximum drawdown and a 5.6% deposit load. Its headline growth percentage is distorted by deposits and withdrawals during tracking, so read the drawdown and deposit-load figures rather than the percentage.

Risk Disclaimer
Logan MT5 is a grid-based recovery system. It combines ATR-adaptive grid spacing with dynamic lot progression when a position moves against it, and it does not use a fixed per-trade stop loss — positions in a basket are closed together when the basket reaches its profit objective, with the configurable daily drawdown limit acting as the capital-protection backstop. That design has real implications: while the published backtests show modest balance drawdowns, their equity drawdowns are two to four times larger, and that gap is the floating loss carried while a recovery basket is open. Both live signals show low deposit loads, indicating the grid stayed shallow in practice, but a grid system’s risk is concentrated in the rare adverse run rather than in day-to-day trading. Set the daily drawdown limit conservatively, use lot sizing appropriate to your balance rather than the maximum available, respect the minimum and recommended balances, test thoroughly on demo first, and only deploy capital you can afford to lose. The live records span roughly five and twelve weeks and the backtests roughly one year, so all are best treated as encouraging evidence rather than a long-term track record. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
