Quick Summary:
TwisterPro Scalper for MT5 by Jorge Luiz Guimaraes De Araujo Dias is a XAUUSD-only Expert Advisor built around a 5-layer entry validation system. Every potential trade must pass five independent checks before the EA places an order — and any single failed check vetoes the trade. The result is selective, low-frequency trading (roughly 1-2 trades per week on Mode 1) with defined stop loss and take profit on every position, no grid, no martingale, and no averaging. A 3-phase progressive trailing stop manages open positions. A public MQL5 live signal has been running on Exness since March 2026.

Why TwisterPro Scalper
- Gold specialist — designed exclusively for XAUUSD on the M15 timeframe
- 5-layer entry validation — every potential trade passes five independent checks; any single failed check vetoes the entry
- Selective by design — roughly 1-2 trades per week on Mode 1; the EA waits for setups that pass every layer rather than firing on partial signals
- Defined SL/TP on every trade — explicitly no martingale, no grid, no averaging
- 3-phase progressive trailing stop — tightens the stop loss across three stages as the trade matures, locking in gains
- Two assertiveness modes — Mode 1 (highest selectivity, recommended) or Mode 2 (higher frequency, slightly lower selectivity)
- Real risk filters — daily drawdown limit (pauses trading for the day), post-SL cooldown timer, consecutive-loss lot reduction, margin check before every order, pending order expiration
- On-chart status panel — real-time HUD showing account info, market conditions, P&L, strategy state, and colour-coded status indicators
- Public MQL5 live signal — real-money monitoring on Exness from March 2026
How It Works
TwisterPro watches XAUUSD on the M15 timeframe and runs five independent validation checks before opening any trade. The developer does not disclose the specific layers (proprietary), but the trade pattern tells the story: roughly 1-2 trades per week on Mode 1, with a backtest win rate above 85% and an average win meaningfully larger than the average loss. The EA is built to refuse most of what it sees and act only when every check agrees.
Open positions are managed with a 3-phase progressive trailing stop that tightens across three stages as the trade matures. Mode 1 is the developer’s recommended setting and is the configuration the public live signal runs on. Mode 2 relaxes one layer to produce more trades, at the cost of some selectivity.
The risk architecture extends beyond basic SL/TP. A daily drawdown limit pauses the EA for the rest of the trading day if it triggers. A post-stop-loss cooldown waits a configurable number of candles before allowing a new entry. Consecutive-loss protection optionally reduces lot size after back-to-back losers. A margin check verifies sufficient free margin before every order, and pending orders expire if they haven’t filled within a defined window.
Live Signal & Backtest Snapshot

- Live signal: Exness at 1:500, real money, ~4 weeks tracked at launch
- Live growth: ~+46% from a 200 USD starting deposit
- Live win rate: 92.3% with 4.3% max deposit load (conservative sizing)
- Live maximum drawdown: 2.5% — a tiny sample on a young account
- Backtest period: Multi-year XAUUSD M15, real-tick data at 99% history quality
- Backtest result (Mode 1): Profit factor 20.93, 86.48% win rate across 429 trades, max 2 consecutive losses across the entire test, 18.64% equity drawdown

The numbers look striking — and the maximum-2-consecutive-losses metric across 429 trades is genuinely the standout figure for risk management. Our full review covers how to read the headline backtest figures in context, the live signal’s age-versus-significance question, and what to weigh before committing.

⚠️ RAW Spread Account Required
The developer states a RAW SPREAD account is essential rather than recommended. Standard accounts with marked-up spreads will erode the M15 scalping margins this EA is built around, and may cause premature stop-loss hits. Use Exness Raw, IC Markets Raw, or a similar zero-markup account. Also ensure the Broker Type input is set correctly for your broker’s Gold pricing format — wrong setting causes incorrect SL/TP distances.

Risk Disclaimer
Trading XAUUSD involves significant volatility (NFP, CPI, FOMC, geopolitical events). The headline backtest profit factor reflects extreme selectivity on a relatively small sample of 429 trades over a multi-year period — live results will compress against backtest figures due to real spread, slippage, and conditions the test didn’t encounter. The live signal is young and represents a limited sample on a small starting balance, where percentage moves are amplified. A RAW SPREAD account is essential for this EA to perform as designed — standard accounts will degrade results. The realistic live maximum drawdown will likely sit closer to the backtest’s 18%+ figure than the live signal’s 2.5%. Test on demo on your intended broker first, use conservative position sizing while validating, and never deploy capital you cannot afford to lose. Past performance — backtest or live — does not guarantee future results.
