Eagle Gold Strike EA MT4

Ten independently selectable gold breakout strategies

Eagle Gold Strike EA MT4 combines ten gold price-level breakout strategies with separate switches, per-trade stops and three position-sizing modes. Developed by Gianluca Guarino, it uses a separate stop loss on every trade and is described as having no grid, no martingale and no averaging down.

• 10 strategy switches: choose which breakout components are active.
• Three sizing methods: fixed lots, capital step or risk percentage calculated from the trade’s stop loss.
• Exit choices: visible broker-side SL/TP or hidden EA-managed exits, with trailing, break-even and Friday close.
• Execution controls: pending orders or market entry, spread checking in market mode and a wait after the daily market open.
• News and monitoring: optional USD high-impact news filter and an on-chart panel.

Strike’s ten-strategy scope gives it the largest set of individual strategy switches among this group of gold products. That is a way to select entries, not ten independent accounts: all active components can contribute to the same XAUUSD exposure.

Risk sizing needs particular care: the developer’s yearly chart uses 0.35% per trade. Its own comparison states that 1.0% produced a 59% maximum equity drawdown in the same historical simulation. That figure is not a live-account result, but it illustrates why a larger risk setting can substantially change the character of the system.

Requirements that affect the strategy

Market

XAUUSD / GOLD. The strategy uses gold H1 data regardless of the attached chart timeframe.

Platform

MT4; use the matching edition and confirm the broker symbol.

History

At least 6,100 H1 gold bars must be loaded. Insufficient history can change or skip some breakout levels.

Starting guidance

1,500 USD at 1:100 leverage or 2,500 USD at 1:30 with 0.01 lots, according to the developer.

Account conditions

ECN / raw spread is recommended. The strategies are spread-sensitive; wide spreads reduce results.

Continuous operation

A VPS is recommended, especially when using hidden stops or terminal-managed pending entries.

Risk percentage is a per-trade sizing input, not an account drawdown cap. Several active strategies can create concurrent losses. If the calculated lot is below the broker’s minimum, the minimum lot is used, so actual risk can exceed the selected percentage on a small account.

Execution, stops and settings changes

In pending mode, levels are submitted when price is within 50 USD of entry. The source says it skips an entry already within 1 USD or beyond its level. Removing, stopping or restarting the EA deletes pending orders while the market is open.

Visible SL/TP is the default: levels are sent to the broker. Hidden SL/TP is managed by the running EA and requires continuous terminal operation. Restarting MT4 inputs or timeframe resets hidden stops to the initial stop loss; break-even and trailing restart from the current price. This can change protection that had already moved.

Switching a strategy off also stops management of its open trades. This removes trailing and break-even; in hidden mode it also removes EA-managed SL/TP handling. Plan changes when flat or deliberately manage the existing positions first.

Max Spread applies to market execution, in broker points. A value of 40 means 0.40 USD on two-digit gold quotes, but 0.04 USD on three-digit quotes; zero disables the check. Verify your broker’s precision.

News pauses and the Friday close

The optional news filter closes the EA’s own trades and pending orders around selected high-impact USD releases, then pauses entries. It is off by default and inactive in the Strategy Tester. Allow the address shown in the WebRequest input under Tools → Options → Expert Advisors, and check that future events appear on the panel.

Friday close has wider reach: From the chosen Friday broker hour, it closes all open positions and pending orders on the chart symbol, including manual trades and trades from other EAs. Avoid sharing gold trades unless this is intended. The setting uses broker time; 24 or 25 disables it.

Original tests and public trading evidence

The MT4 listing attributes the gallery tests to the MT5 build using real-tick data from 2010 with commission, slippage and swaps deducted. MT5 adjusts take profit and break-even to cover costs and begins the Friday close 15 minutes earlier; MT4 does not make the same cost adjustments and closes from the selected hour. Those differences prevent treating the MT5 tests as reproduced MT4 results.

The yearly bars are derived from the fixed-lot backtest using the EA’s risk-sizing formula, not a separate percentage-risk Strategy Tester run; the 2026 bar covers January–June only.

The yearly example uses 0.35% per-trade risk, versus a published default of 1.0%. Its sizing differs from the fixed-lot curve and an account using defaults, so returns and drawdowns are not directly comparable.

Developer-linked public account

The Strike public account is labelled real by MQL5 and runs on MT4, with monitoring started on 30 March 2026. On 10 October it showed 28 weeks, 175 trades, 65.14% growth and a 2.61 profit factor. Relative drawdown was 8.78% by balance and 3.84% by equity; the statistics separately list maximal balance drawdown of 17.53%.

The account began with 250 EUR and later received 1,750 EUR of deposits; its 3,226.52 EUR balance is therefore not profit on the initial deposit alone. Maximum deposit load was 79.40%. MQL5 states that 80% of growth occurred within four days, and October’s partial month was −7.90% at capture. A concentrated, short record and substantial historical margin usage limit the case for extrapolating this result.

The MT4 counterpart’s release notes for version 2.3, dated 7 October 2026, revise strategy parameters and breakout-level detection. This longer MT4 account history spans earlier settings, rather than proving post-revision performance separately. These dated notes describe MT4 and do not establish an MT5 revision date.

The MQL5 MT4 review tab showed no customer reviews when checked on 10 October 2026. There is no purchaser-comment screenshot or customer performance claim presented for this edition.
