GoldHam Shield — Gold M1 EA, steady type (MT4 & MT5)

Steady type, for traders who want shallow drawdowns and a long run. You choose fixed or compounding lots; at multiplier 1.0 fixed, the deepest drawdown over two years was 6%. It enters on the same signals as Blade, only lighter, so pick one of the two rather than both.

Gold (XAUUSD) 1-minute EA for MT4 & MT5 — the steadier sister of GoldHam Blade. GoldHam Shield uses the same gold 1-minute basket logic as Blade, with lighter positions and a cap on the deepest levels. You choose fixed lots or compounding, and a multiplier of 1.0 (recommended), 1.5 or 2.0.

2-year backtest (Oct 2024 to Oct 2026, XM micro account, MT5 real ticks, 500,000 JPY) — growth (max relative drawdown):

• Multiplier 1.0: fixed 1.87x (6%), compounding 2.40x (10%)
• Multiplier 1.5: fixed 2.30x (7%), compounding 3.68x (15%)
• Multiplier 2.0: fixed 2.74x (8%), compounding 5.66x (20%)

Stress test: six large gold crashes of the past (2008, 2011, 2020 and others), scaled to today's price level and started at five different points, 30 runs in total. All three multipliers held in all 30 runs; the deepest drop was 14% (1.0), 21% (1.5) and 26% (2.0).

Important: XMTrading accounts only

• It does not start on accounts at other brokers. Recommended: XM Micro account (the backtests use a Micro account). Gold (GOLD) 1-minute chart. On MT5, use a hedging account
• Capital needed at multiplier 1.0 (recommended): XM Micro MT4 from 50,000 JPY, MT5 from 500,000 JPY. KIWAMI or Standard accounts also work, but their 100-ounce contract means from 5,000,000 JPY (multiplier 1.5: 34,000 / 340,000 / 3,340,000; 2.0: 25,000 / 250,000 / 2,500,000)
• It is XMTrading-only because it was tested and tuned on XM account conditions (spread, contract size, execution). We receive no IB (introducing broker) commission from XMTrading. Please open your account yourself
• You can change the account your license is bound to yourself, at any time (binding page https://db.fx-hamrat.jp/?lang=en, up to 10 times in 30 days)
• Run only this EA on the account; a VPS is recommended

Want a second EA? Pair it with e-510-EA. Shield and Blade run the same logic, so they rise and fall on the same days (daily correlation 0.98 to 0.999). e-510-EA trades yen pairs only on Gotobi mornings. Over the same two years its positions overlapped with GoldHam only 2.3% of the time and monthly results tended to move oppositely (correlation about -0.4). Adding e-510-EA (default, 200k JPY) to Shield (1.0 fixed, 500k JPY) raised two-year profit from 428k to 524k JPY, and the largest drop in closed balance did not grow. Run it in a separate low-spread account. Details: https://fx-hamrat.jp/en/goldham/#combo
