Gold Fish Scalp EA for MT4
Gold Fish Scalp EA is a focused breakout scalper for XAUUSD on the M1–M5 timeframes. It processes market data in real time to deliver clean entry/exit signals, runs single-order by default (Max Orders = 1), and protects every trade with Stop Loss / Take Profit plus trailing. No grid. No martingale. Minimal setup.
🔑 Key Features
- Breakout Logic — combines several proven breakout patterns and custom filters to avoid weak moves.
- Single-Order Execution — by default the EA opens one trade at a time for clean risk control.
- Risk by Percent — optional auto-lot sizing via Percent_Risk with On/Off Use Risk Percent = true.
- SL/TP + Trailing — fixed SL/TP with a trailing module to reduce give-back on winners.
- Low Overhead — lightweight code and clear inputs; suited to 24/5 VPS operation.
- Broker-Agnostic — any account type; ECN/Raw spread recommended.
🧩 How It Works
- Scan: reads short-term structure on M1–M5 to locate emerging breakouts.
- Confirm: passes signals through proprietary filters to cut false triggers in chop.
- Execute: places a market order with SL/TP; trailing can engage as price moves.
- Manage: trailing trims risk; the trade exits at TP, SL, or via the trailing stop.

The screenshot shows a typical Gold Fish setup on XAUUSD M5: clear SL/TP levels, single active position, and a minimal overlay so the price action remains readable.

🧭 What to Know Before Using
- Past ≠ future: backtests are illustrative; always forward-test on your broker.
- Execution matters: spreads and fills on gold can be volatile; ECN/Raw is best.
- Risk sizing: if you enable auto-lot, start with a small Percent_Risk and adjust only after a full month of live data.
