Quick Summary:
Ghost Scalper MT5 by Thomas Christoph Lipka is a fully automated XAUUSD (Gold) Expert Advisor built on four independent strategies — Ghost A, Ghost B, Ghost C and Ghost D. Each carries its own logic, its own trade management and its own risk settings, and each can be switched on or off separately. It trades both directions automatically with pending order management and integrated Virtual Trailing, sizing by fixed lot or percentage risk. Four public live signals run across four different brokers.

Why Ghost Scalper MT5
- Four independent strategies in one EA — Ghost A, B, C and D, each with its own trading logic and management
- Separate risk settings per strategy — configure each one individually rather than applying a single blanket setting
- Every strategy can be disabled — narrow the EA to the components you want without abandoning the rest
- Automatic both-direction trading with automatic pending order management
- Integrated Virtual Trailing — trade management handled internally rather than exposed to the broker
- Fixed lot or percentage-based risk sizing
- Four public live signals on four brokers — Vantage, Ultima Markets, TMGM and VT Markets
- Dashboard modes — BIG, SMALL or OFF, so it can be run lean on a VPS
- No hype in the listing — no escalating-price countdown, no scarcity claims, and an explicit note from the developer that results vary with broker conditions
Backtest Overview

- Period: 1 January to 19 August 2026, XAUUSD H1, 100% real ticks
- Profit factor 4.39 across 824 trades at a 78.64% win rate
- Tested max drawdown 2.19% — well below the 16–30% the live accounts show, so plan around the live figures
The monthly spread is consistent rather than carried by one lucky stretch. But the window is a single year, and our review covers what a buyer found when he tested 2024 and 2025 himself.
Four Live Signals, Four Brokers

- Four public signals across Vantage, Ultima Markets, TMGM and VT Markets — real money on four different brokers
- Live win rates 72–76%, sitting sensibly below the backtest’s 78.64%
- Live max drawdowns 16–30% and deposit loads of 26–35%, reflecting up to four strategies holding positions at once
- Accounts hold 100–200 EUR and are weeks old, so they show the logic works rather than how it scales
Running four signals on four brokers is real transparency and lets you compare execution conditions directly. Our review reads all of them individually, including one whose headline growth is affected by a mid-period deposit.

Risk Note
The backtest covers only January to August 2026, and a buyer who tested 2024 and 2025 reported the results were not conclusive. Its 2.19% tested drawdown sits far below the 16% to 30% on the developer’s own live accounts — plan around the live figures. Those accounts hold 100 to 200 EUR and are weeks old.
