Dark Gold EA V1.0 MT4 – Free High-Frequency Scalper That Actually Listens to Price


Sick of “AI” bots that promise the moon and then ghost your account the moment spike spreads? Same. Dark Gold EA V1.0 MT4 takes a different route: it scalps fast-moving markets by respecting raw price—clean support/resistance, momentum bursts, and session volatility—so you aren’t chasing repainting signals or curve-fit wizardry. And yep, it’s 100% free to download on ForexFactory.cc, powered by YoForex (the folks who actually back-test and run this stuff live, not just slap a label on it).


If you trade gold (XAUUSD) or Bitcoin (BTCUSD) when the market’s breathing fire, or you like quick swings on EURUSD and GBPUSD, this MT4 expert advisor is built for you. It supports M5, M15, and H1 timeframes, with a $100 minimum to get started, and has toggles for both trend-following and counter-trend plays—so you can keep it aggressive or make it conservative, depending on your risk vibe.


Quick heads-up before we dive in: this isn’t a “set risk to 50% and pray” kind of EA. It’s designed to eliminate emotional trading by enforcing your rules every tick—coz your rules don’t panic, even when you do.


Overview


Dark Gold EA V1.0 MT4 is a high-frequency scalper tuned for volatile instruments. The core engine scans micro-structure—switching between breakout continuation and smart mean-reversion around well-defined liquidity zones. The logic is simple but strict:



  • Identify recent support/resistance clusters.

  • Track micro momentum and spread/volatility filters.

  • Trigger entries only when both price location and impulse strength align.

  • Manage exits dynamically with adaptive partials, time stops, and volatility-based trailing.


Where most bots over-optimize parameters, Dark Gold EA focuses on robust primitives: price levels, session behavior, and risk control. That’s why it holds up across XAUUSD, BTCUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD without needing a fresh “holy-grail set file” every other week. YoForex has fully back-tested it and also run it live on their own accounts so the settings you get aren’t academic—they’re battle-tested.

Backtest Proof & Live Performance


Backtest window used by YoForex: January 2022 – August 2025 (3+ years), using high-quality tick data with realistic spreads and slippage settings at common London/NY session ranges.
Core models observed:



  • XAUUSD M5 trend mode: quick continuation scalps after level breaks, using ATR trailing; typical holding time under 30–45 minutes.

  • BTCUSD M15 counter-trend: fade extremes back to VWAP/level; stricter filters for weekend volatility shifts.

  • EURUSD H1 hybrid: micro-breakouts with partial mean-reversion entries around session highs/lows.


What stood out wasn’t a single blockbuster month; it was consistency through various regimes—quiet summers, heavy CPI days, and random risk-off spikes. Equity curves stayed relatively smooth when risk was capped at 1–2% per trade, with controlled drawdowns thanks to partial exits and time stops. You’ll still see losing streaks (coz markets), but the combination of filters + exits kept the damage contained.


Live runs on YoForex side mirrored the backtest feel: smaller wins stack up; losers are cut fast; big spikes are handled by trailing and partials. When spreads balloon (gold open or weekend BTC), the spread guard simply keeps you out—no fills, no drama. That’s discipline over FOMO.


Installation & Setup


Getting started is straightforward:



  1. Download the EA from ForexFactory.cc → Dark Gold EA V1.0 MT4.

  2. Copy the .ex4 (or .mq4) file to:
    File → Open Data Folder → MQL4 → Experts

  3. Restart MT4 (or refresh the Navigator panel).

  4. Attach the EA to your chosen chart (XAUUSD M5 is a strong starting point).

  5. Load the recommended set file (included on the download page) or use defaults, then adjust risk (% per trade) to suit your account.

  6. Allow algo trading and confirm DLL/Inputs prompts if used by your MT4.


Starter template (conservative):



  • Risk per trade: 0.5–1%

  • Max concurrent trades: 1–2

  • Trend mode ON for XAUUSD M5/M15; Counter-trend ON for BTCUSD M15

  • Spread guard enabled; time-exit enabled before major news

  • Trailing start at ~1R, partial TP at 0.75R (tweak to taste)


How to Tune for Each Market


XAUUSD (Gold):
Prefer M5 during London + early NY; let the EA rest during rollover. If gold is choppy, widen the time-exit window or switch to M15.


BTCUSD (Bitcoin):
BTC can be wild outside FX sessions. If your broker offers crypto with wider weekend spreads, keep spread guard tight and consider counter-trend only when the impulse filter agrees.


EURUSD / GBPUSD:
These are cleaner on H1 if you want fewer, higher-quality signals. Trend mode works well post-breakout; counter-trend is best during range days.
