Quick Summary:
ArtQuant Gold for MT5 by Miguel Angel Vico Alba is a Gold / XAUUSD Expert Advisor built around a structured grid system with a strong emphasis on controlled exposure and risk management. The engine is internally optimised, so there are no strategies, indicators, or technical parameters to configure — you pick a broker profile and a risk level, and the EA manages execution. It does not use martingale or progressive lot multiplication, and it operates independently of the chart timeframe.

How ArtQuant Gold Works
ArtQuant Gold runs a structured grid on XAUUSD. Rather than relying on a single entry signal, it manages exposure across a controlled set of positions, with the internal engine handling when and how cycles open. The design priority is stability and risk control rather than maximum trade frequency, and the system is selective — it can be quiet for stretches and more active in others, depending on Gold’s conditions.
Crucially, the developer is explicit that there is no martingale and no progressive lot multiplication. Grid systems carry their own risk profile — floating drawdown during adverse runs is inherent to the approach — which is why the EA wraps the grid in a floating drawdown control, spread and slippage filters, and multiple selectable risk levels.
Risk Management & Settings
- Lot calculation: Automatic, Fixed, or Fixed per Balance
- Automatic risk level: Very Low through Very High
- Floating DD control: configurable limit and action when the drawdown threshold is reached
- Spread & slippage filters: block new entries when spread is too high or deviation too large
- Event filters: optional Friday / first-Friday / Christmas-New-Year cycle filters and Friday closure
- Broker profile: select the optimised profile matching your broker
Because this is a grid, the most important decision is matching your risk level to your account size. Give the account enough headroom to absorb floating drawdown, start at a lower risk level, and increase only after you’ve watched the EA behave on your own broker.
Live Signal & Backtest Snapshot
- Live signal: IC Markets RAW, ~20 weeks tracked, ~+87% growth at a Medium-High profile (~20.7% max drawdown)
- Backtest period: 2018 – 2026, IC Markets RAW, Auto / Low-Medium risk
- Backtest result: $10,000 → $5.91M (theoretical projection only)
- Profit factor: 6.11 | Win rate: ~78% (4,262 trades)
- Backtest relative equity drawdown: ~18.5%
The backtest is a theoretical projection, not a promise — and on a grid system the drawdown figure matters more than the headline. The live signal’s Medium-High profile is the more realistic guide. Read the full review before sizing up.

Risk Disclaimer
ArtQuant Gold is a grid-based system for XAUUSD. Grid systems carry inherent risk and can experience significant floating drawdown during adverse market conditions, and Gold is subject to sharp news-driven volatility (NFP, CPI, FOMC, geopolitical events). The published live signal runs at a Medium-High risk profile that the developer states is not the recommended level for all users, and the $10K-to-$5.91M backtest is a theoretical projection, not a guarantee. Choose a risk level appropriate to your account size, give the account headroom for floating drawdown, test on demo on your intended broker first, and never deploy capital you cannot afford to lose. Past performance — backtest or live — does not guarantee future results.

FAQs
What is ArtQuant Gold EA?
ArtQuant Gold is an Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 by Miguel Angel Vico Alba, designed exclusively for Gold / XAUUSD. It uses a structured grid approach focused on controlled exposure and clear risk management. The trading engine is internally optimised, so you don’t configure strategies or indicators — you choose a broker profile and a risk level, and the EA runs. It does not use martingale or progressive lot multiplication.
What broker and account type do I need?
A hedging account on an ECN or RAW-type broker offering Gold / XAUUSD. The EA includes optimised broker profiles for IC Markets / VT Markets RAW, RoboForex ECN, and Fusion Markets Zero. Recommended leverage is 1:500, and a stable low-latency VPS running 24/7 is recommended.
What deposit should I use?
The developer recommends a minimum initial deposit of around $1,000. Because this is a grid system, your account size and chosen risk level should be matched carefully — give the account enough headroom to absorb floating drawdown, and start at a lower risk level while you validate.
Does it use martingale?
No. The developer states ArtQuant Gold does not use martingale or progressive lot multiplication. It is a structured grid system with floating drawdown protection, multiple risk levels, and spread/slippage filters.
What are the risk settings?
Lot sizing can be Automatic, Fixed, or Fixed per Balance. The automatic risk level runs from Very Low to Very High. There is also a floating drawdown control with a configurable limit and action, plus maximum spread and maximum slippage filters. Start conservative and increase only after you’ve observed live behaviour.
Is there a live track record?
Yes. A real-money live signal is published on IC Markets RAW as a transparent reference. The developer notes it runs at a Medium-High risk profile and should not be read as the recommended level for every user. See our full review for an honest breakdown of the signal and the backtest.
Does it work on MT4?
No. ArtQuant Gold is built for MetaTrader 5 only, and operates independently of the chart timeframe.
Can I filter news and Friday trading?
Yes. ArtQuant Gold includes optional filters to prevent new cycles on Fridays, on the first Friday of the month, or during the Christmas / New Year period, plus an optional Friday closure mode. These are useful for avoiding low-liquidity and high-impact news windows on Gold.
How buying from us works
Genuine build, installed for you, refund if you change your mind
CheaperForex buys the current build from the developer's live MQL5 Market listing and installs it on your machine through a CheaperForex-managed MQL5 account. That is why the price is lower than buying direct: you get one managed installation on one Windows PC or VPS, rather than a purchase recorded in your own MQL5 account.
- 1Order and pay
Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or crypto, with 20% off for crypto at checkout.
- 2We arrange the installation
We connect to your Windows PC or VPS at a time that suits you and set the EA up inside MT5, usually within hours of purchase.
- 3Activate on one machine
The EA runs on that PC or VPS, in up to 10 MT5 terminals, with no subscription. The managed MQL5 account stays signed in there.
- 4Every update, instantly
Each new version the developer publishes appears inside your MT5 straight away, at no extra cost. Setup help is available by email and Telegram whenever you need it.
Not happy, or decided you would rather not have us connect to your machine? Ask within 7 days of purchase and, as long as the EA has not been activated, you get a full refund. Once activated, the license is assigned to that machine and cannot be refunded.
The purchase is not added to your personal MQL5 account and does not appear in your MQL5 purchase history. The managed account stays signed in on the activated machine, so moving or reinstalling the EA is done with our help, which is included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! All products listed on our site are in stock and ready for immediate activation.
No waiting periods, no group buys. Purchase today, get it activated today.
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.
