PrizmaL Gravity EA MT5

Quick Summary:
PrizmaL Gravity for MT5 is a neural network Gold scalper by Vladimir Lekhovitser that trades XAUUSD on M5 with one extraordinary characteristic: the neural network learned that short positions are statistically more stable on Gold. The backtest confirms this — all 12,966 trades are sells. Zero longs. This makes PrizmaL Gravity one of the only dedicated short-side Gold specialists on the MQL5 marketplace.

The live signal shows 399% growth in 11 weeks with 84.4% profit trades and 8.2% maximum drawdown on Leverate (1:500). The dynamic risk backtest (2020–2026) turned $1,000 into $109,453 across 12,966 trades with a 2.17 profit factor and 25.97 recovery factor.

Vladimir Lekhovitser’s PrizmaL series traces its lineage to the Silver Medal at the 2008 MQL5 Automated Trading Championship — where the original PrizmaL generated +1,500% profit in just three months. His other products on CheaperForex include PrizmaL Scalper EA MT5.

399% Live Growth in 11 Weeks

399% growth in 11 weeks with only 8.2% maximum drawdown. The signal started with $500 and grew to $2,493 — nearly 5x the initial deposit. Monthly returns have been consistently strong: 109% in January, 95% in February, and 21.7% in March (month still in progress).

The 3.4% maximum deposit load means the EA never exposes more than 3.4% of the account at any time — conservative position sizing that keeps the margin requirements well below dangerous levels.

The live performance significantly outperforms the backtest’s 54.44% win rate — achieving 84.4% in live conditions. This discrepancy likely reflects the difference between the backtest’s theoretical execution and the live signal’s actual broker conditions, and may moderate over time as the signal matures.

The Short-Side Specialist: Why This EA Only Sells Gold

This is the most unusual characteristic of PrizmaL Gravity and what sets it apart from virtually every other Gold EA on the market.

During the neural network training process (2020–2026 historical data), the model consistently identified that short positions offered more stable execution opportunities on Gold. This wasn’t a developer decision — it was the statistical outcome of the learning process itself. The neural network organically gravitated toward sells.

The backtest confirms this: 12,966 trades — all short. Zero long trades.

Why would selling Gold be more stable than buying it? Several structural factors:

• Gold’s upside spikes are violent but unsustainable — Gold often spikes upward on news or fear, then retraces. Short entries after these spikes capture the reversion
• Gold’s downside moves are more orderly — when Gold sells off, it tends to do so in structured waves rather than sudden crashes. This benefits systematic short strategies
• Short scalps have tighter execution — the neural network may have identified that short entries experience less slippage on average during the M5 timeframe

The developer states that buy trades are technically possible but expected only in very limited situations. In practice, this is a sell-focused system.

Mid-Week Trading Only: No Mondays, No Fridays

PrizmaL Gravity is intentionally inactive on Mondays and Fridays:

• Monday — markets open with gaps, low liquidity, and erratic price discovery. The EA avoids this risk entirely
• Friday — risk-off positioning ahead of weekends creates unpredictable behaviour. The EA sits out
• Tuesday–Thursday — mid-week sessions offer the most stable structural conditions. This is when the EA concentrates its execution

Trading activity may appear uneven — some periods pass without trades, while aligned market phases trigger multiple positions within a short timeframe. This selective participation model prioritises quality conditions over continuous exposure.

6-Year Backtest: Dynamic Risk (2020–2026)

Understanding the Dynamic Risk Profile

25.97 recovery factor is exceptionally high — this means the system generates nearly 26x its maximum drawdown in profit. For context, anything above 10 is considered excellent.

54.44% win rate with positive expectancy: The system wins slightly more than half its trades, but the average win ($28.76) is 1.82x the average loss ($15.83). This favourable payout ratio means the system profits even with a modest hit rate — the maths work because wins are significantly larger than losses.

Maximum 18 consecutive losses costing only $67.66: Despite 18 losses in a row, the total cost was remarkably small. This demonstrates the EA’s tight risk control — individual losing trades are kept very small, so even extended losing streaks cause minimal damage.

0.49 LR correlation on dynamic risk reflects the exponential compounding curve — the equity accelerates in the later years as position sizes grow. The fixed lot test below shows the true linearity of the underlying strategy.

6-Year Backtest: Fixed Lot (2020–2026)

The fixed lot test reveals the true character of the underlying strategy without compounding effects. The 0.89 LR correlation shows nearly linear growth — steady, consistent profits accumulating over 6 years without significant drawdown periods. This is the strategy’s genuine edge stripped of exponential lot sizing.

The 1.34 profit factor on fixed lots may look modest compared to the 2.17 on dynamic risk, but across 12,966 trades over 6 years, a consistent 1.34 PF with 25.83 recovery factor is a genuine, exploitable edge.

Championship Pedigree: PrizmaL Series

Vladimir Lekhovitser’s PrizmaL series has one of the most distinguished histories in algorithmic trading. The original PrizmaL system won the Silver Medal at the 2008 MQL5 Automated Trading Championship, generating +1,500% profit in just three months from 1,113 trades. This wasn’t a backtest — it was a live competition with real execution.

Gravity represents the latest evolution of this championship lineage — a neural network trained on 2020–2026 data that discovered the short-side Gold edge. Vladimir’s other CheaperForex product, PrizmaL Scalper EA MT5, provides a complementary intraday Gold scalping approach.

Additional User Reviews

★★★★★ “399% in 11 weeks with 8.2% max drawdown — the risk-to-reward ratio is outstanding.”
Most Gold EAs that achieve 400% growth do so with 50%+ drawdowns. PrizmaL Gravity kept its maximum drawdown at 8.2% while growing the account nearly 5x in under 3 months. That’s a fundamentally different risk profile. The 3.4% deposit load shows the EA never overleverages. This is aggressive growth with conservative exposure.
— Lars E., Oslo

★★★★★ “A sell-only Gold system — I’ve never seen anything like this on MQL5.”
Every Gold EA I’ve tested trades both directions. PrizmaL Gravity only sells. The neural network literally decided that buying Gold is statistically inferior for scalping. After thinking about it, the logic makes sense — Gold’s downside moves are more orderly than its upside spikes. Having a dedicated short-side system complements my long-biased Gold EAs perfectly.
— Mei L., Taipei

★★★★☆ “The live signal is impressive but 11 weeks isn’t enough to validate a neural network.”
399% growth is eye-catching. The championship pedigree adds credibility. But neural networks can overfit to training data (2020–2026) and underperform in novel conditions. I want to see how Gravity handles a major Gold trend reversal or an unprecedented volatility event. Running it on demo alongside the signal for now. Four stars until I have 6 months of data.
— Adam J., London

★★★★★ “No Monday, no Friday trading — the system is disciplined about when NOT to trade.”
Monday gaps and Friday risk-off positioning have cost me money with other EAs. PrizmaL Gravity avoids both entirely. Tuesday to Thursday only. This mid-week focus means fewer trades but each one is taken under optimal structural conditions. I’d rather have 3 good days of trading than 5 mediocre ones.
— Isabelle D., Paris

★★★★★ “Same developer as PrizmaL Scalper — Vladimir builds quality systems that actually perform live.”
I already run PrizmaL Scalper from CheaperForex. The engineering quality across Vladimir’s products is consistently high. Gravity adds a different approach — neural network sell-side scalping versus Scalper’s bidirectional microstructure logic. Different entry logic, different directional bias, same developer quality. Running both gives me comprehensive Gold M5 coverage.

Risk Disclaimer

Past performance does not guarantee future results. PrizmaL Gravity uses a neural network trained on 2020–2026 data — performance in future market conditions may differ. The EA predominantly takes short positions on Gold, which carries directional risk during sustained uptrends. The live signal is 11 weeks old — still in its early validation phase. Always test on a demo account first. Do not trade with funds you cannot afford to lose.
