Quick Summary:
MoonDog EA by James Vito Armin Bianchini is a multi-strategy breakout Expert Advisor for XAUUSD (Gold) on MetaTrader 5. It runs five independent breakout modules — Moon Nova, Apex, Zenith, Pulse and Eclipse — each reading gold’s structure from a different angle, each with its own magic number, and each individually switchable. Modules scan structure, place pending stop orders in both directions, then manage the trade. Every position carries its own stop loss and take profit. No grid, no martingale, no averaging down, no floating basket.

Five modules and execution controls
MoonDog’s modules, sizing and execution controls
The developer’s guide runs the five modules from one chart. Loading different presets on extra charts creates additional instances, rather than adding missing modules. Read the developer’s preset guide.
Controls that change trading behaviour
These checks cover features documented by the developer for the 3.38 release. Match the wording and availability to your installed build.
| Setting area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Position sizing | Identify fixed-lot versus percentage sizing. Review the selected volume or risk and any maximum-lot cap; changing an inactive sizing field will not change the selected mode. |
| Magic Number and comments | Record the configured identifiers. Keep a copy with your preset so support can distinguish this setup from other EA instances. |
| Weekend schedule | Check the Friday and Monday schedule against broker time. Record whether the automatic or custom schedule is selected. |
| Account protection | Inspect the normal-account daily-loss and prop-firm options separately. Do not assume either is enabled just because the EA includes it. |
Official version history documents these features; it does not establish the contents of an individual download.
Execution quality and trade fills
For this pending-order breakout system, compare entry and exit slippage, broker Stop Level and Freeze Level restrictions, and the exact gold contract specification. The developer’s current broker guide specifically advises against IC Markets for MoonDog; recommendations for another gold EA should not be carried across automatically. Check the current MoonDog broker guide.
If something looks wrong, send your order number, version, preset name, broker/server, exact symbol, affected trade time and relevant Experts/Journal messages. The execution panel can help diagnose fills; one losing trade does not identify the cause.
Official release notes: what changed after 3.38?
MQL5 lists 4.0, updated 6 September 2026, as checked on 8 September. Version 3.39 revised MoonLock handling; V4 added optional ONNX filtering and new dashboard controls. These are release-history notes, not a promise that V4 is included. Use documentation and presets that match your download. Compare the official releases.

Why MoonDog EA
- Five breakout engines, one EA — Moon Nova, Apex, Zenith, Pulse and Eclipse each read XAUUSD structure differently, so the system is not reliant on a single entry model
- Every module independently switchable — run all five, or narrow it to the ones you want, each with its own magic number and order identity
- Own stop loss and take profit on every trade — risk defined at entry, never adjusted afterwards to rescue a position
- No grid, no martingale, no averaging — no lot multiplication after a loss and no floating basket left open to recover
- Trades both directions automatically — buy stop and sell stop pending orders, with virtual pending expiration so stale setups are not left hanging
- Execution guards — spread, margin and session checks before orders are placed
- Broker execution grading — the panel scores fill quality and slippage trade by trade, so you can see whether your broker suits a pending-order strategy
- Prop shield mode — an optional layer for funded-account rules
- No hardcoded trading dates — the developer states the engine carries none
Three Risk Profiles, One Engine
- Fixed 0.01 lot: $300 to $1,791.35 — profit factor 2.08, equity drawdown 21.13%
- Adaptive 1.25% risk: profit factor 3.52, equity drawdown 22.31%
- High risk 3%: profit factor 4.45, equity drawdown 58.96% — labelled research only by the developer
- Test conditions: XAUUSD M15, every tick based on real ticks, 100% history quality, January 2025 to June 2026, 1,866 trades at 66.18% winning
Worth noting what the developer chose to disclose here: the fixed-lot result is shown alongside the scaled ones rather than buried, the aggressive profile is explicitly marked research only, and the graphic states that commission was recorded as $0 and that live results vary with broker costs, spread, slippage and execution. That is a more candid presentation than this category usually offers.
Live Signal Snapshot
- Broker and leverage: Global Prime at 1:500
- Initial deposit: $60.08, with $0 deposits and $0 withdrawals
- Profit trades: around 70%, with a genuine 30% loss rate
- Best trade $15.35 against a worst trade of −$6.14 — losses smaller than wins, which is what defined risk looks like
- Max drawdown: 20.1% · Max deposit load: 21.8%
- Instrument and timeframe: XAUUSD, M15
The growth percentage is genuine in that no capital was added or removed. It is also calculated on a $60 starting balance, so the headline figure represents a couple of hundred dollars of profit. Read it as evidence the logic works, not as a return to project onto a funded account.
The Execution Panel
Setup at a Glance
- Platform: MetaTrader 5
- Instrument: XAUUSD (Gold)
- Timeframe: M15
- Account: Raw or commission-based, with tight XAUUSD spreads and fast execution
- Brokers noted by the developer: Global Prime (his own live account), FP Markets, Tickmill — stated with no affiliation
- Risk management: Own SL and TP per position, selectable fixed or balance-based sizing, spread, margin and session guards, optional prop shield
- VPS: Strongly recommended — pending-order strategies depend on prompt activation
Risk Note
The live account started at $60.08 and is about two months old, so the headline growth is roughly $200 of profit and proves nothing about execution at size. The backtest covers 18 months with commission recorded as $0. The 3% profile is marked research only for good reason: a 59% backtested drawdown. Start on fixed or adaptive.

FAQs
What is MoonDog EA?
A multi-strategy breakout Expert Advisor for XAUUSD (Gold) on MetaTrader 5, developed by James Vito Armin Bianchini. It runs five independent breakout modules — Moon Nova, Moon Apex, Moon Zenith, Moon Pulse and Moon Eclipse — each identifying different breakout and price-expansion conditions. Each module scans structure, places pending stop orders in both directions, then manages the resulting trade with its own stop loss and take profit.
Is it a grid or martingale system?
No. Every position opens with its own stop loss and take profit and is managed independently. There is no lot multiplication after a loss, no averaging down, and no floating basket left open waiting to recover. The live account supports this: its worst losing trade is smaller than its best winning trade, which is the opposite of the pattern a recovery system produces.
What do the five modules actually do?
Each reads XAUUSD structure from a different perspective and maintains its own order identity through a module-specific magic number. You can enable or disable any of them individually, so the EA can be run as five strategies, three, or one. The practical effect is that the system is not dependent on a single entry model being right about the market.
Which risk profile should I use?
The developer publishes three, all running the identical engine over the same 1,866 trades. Fixed 0.01 lot is the conservative baseline. Adaptive at 1.25% balance-based risk is the middle option. The 3% high-risk profile is explicitly labelled research only, with a backtested equity drawdown near 59% — we would treat that label as a genuine warning rather than an invitation. Our full review breaks the three down.
Why does the panel grade my trades?
Because it is grading your broker, not the strategy. The execution panel scores fill quality and slippage on recent closed trades, so a profitable trade can be graded poorly if it filled badly, and a losing trade can grade well if it filled cleanly. For a pending-order breakout system this is genuinely useful information — it tells you whether your broker’s execution is suitable before slippage quietly erodes your results.
What broker and account do I need?
A Raw or commission-based account with tight XAUUSD spreads and fast execution. The developer’s own live account runs on Global Prime, and he has separately named FP Markets and Tickmill as Raw-account alternatives worth evaluating, stating he has no affiliation or financial arrangement with any of them. Because the strategy relies on pending-order activation, execution quality matters more here than for most systems.
Do I need a VPS?
Yes. Breakout systems depend on pending orders triggering promptly at the moment structure gives way, and a terminal that is offline or on a slow connection will miss or badly fill those entries. A low-latency VPS near your broker’s server is the sensible setup.
Why buy from CheaperForex instead of the MQL5 marketplace?
The product is identical — the same EA and the same future updates from the developer. You pay less. Since the live track record behind this system is short and on a small account, you will want to demo it and validate on your own broker before committing meaningful capital, and paying less makes that evaluation cheaper.
