ArrayBreakoutX Gold 1.0

10 gold breakout strategies in one EA. One question: how much risk.

Most gold EAs hand you a hundred parameters and leave the hard part to you. Array Breakout X Gold asks one question: how much risk do you want. Everything else is already decided and tested.

Today's gold is a market that runs. So we built it as a pure breakout system.

The heart of Array Breakout X Gold 1.0

All 10 strategies are support-and-resistance breakouts. Not one of them fades a move or guesses where price will turn. Each waits for price to leave the level it watches, then joins with a pending stop order, on the push that actually happened.

The whole team runs on one chart and one set of inputs. There is no strategy list to choose from and no set file to hunt for.

A gold market that runs is the condition this design is built for. It does not run every day: quiet, range-bound stretches are where breakouts are faked out most often, and the drawdown figures in the results section are what those stretches look like.

The same family also trades currencies: Array Breakout X Yen (USDJPY) and Array Breakout X Euro (EURUSD) — the same engine, a different market. Array Breakout X Yen · Array Breakout X Euro · Array Breakout X Gold Scalp

A breakout EA that actually trades

Many breakout systems wait weeks for one setup; this team took 4,664 trades in the ten-year run this page is evidenced by, because 10 strategies watch different levels and take turns. Every trade still has its own stop loss — the frequency comes from the number of strategies, not from bigger risk.

WHAT IT IS

10 strategies working as one team

Inside it are 10 support and resistance breakout strategies. Each has its own levels, its own entry timing and its own way of holding a trade. They run together on one chart and take their turns instead of piling in.

Some wait a long time for a big move; others take small trades often. They take their turns instead of piling in together.

Every trade carries a stop loss from the first second, a take profit and a trailing stop.

WHY THIS ONE

Why this one is different

One setting

The risk level: Low / Medium / High / Boost. Low is the default. There is no strategy list to pick from, no set file to chase, and nothing a user can detune by accident.

It grows into the account

The minimum is 200 USD. A small account starts with fewer strategies and the EA opens more as the balance grows. No top-up needed: profit unlocks the next strategy, and the panel shows the balance that unlocks it.

It tells you the risk before it takes it

The panel shows how many strategies are open and how far an account of your size has fallen before.

10 strategies does not mean 10 open trades

They wait for different levels and fire at different times, so the team usually holds only a few positions at once and often none at all. For a smaller swing, choose a lower risk level.

Auto lot or fixed lot

In Auto the lot follows the balance; on fixed lot the size stays the same throughout.

Prop firm mode

One switch adds a daily loss stop with the percentage you set. Off by default.

It steps aside for the big announcements

The EA stops placing new orders around the big releases by itself and reads the MetaTrader calendar at any broker. Nothing to set. Trades already open are never cut short — they run to their own stop or target.

Any broker's gold, any account

XAUUSD, XAUUSD.a, XAUUSDm, XAUUSD#, GOLD, Gold_i and the rest all work. Standard, ECN and cent accounts are handled — on a cent account the figures are converted for you.

Runs on any VPS

Entries are pending stop orders and the stops sit on the broker's server. A 200–300 ms ping changes nothing.

Easy on, clean off

Attach it with Algo Trading still off if you like: it places its orders the moment you switch the button on. Remove it from the chart and it withdraws every pending order of its own in well under a second; open trades keep their SL/TP and are left for you to decide.

You see everything it does

The on-chart panel shows every strategy with its live status, net result, win rate and drawdown, and says in plain words if the account cannot trade. Reports and trade alerts can go to Telegram or the MT5 mobile app.

RISK LEVEL

One main setting. That is the whole configuration.

Pick the risk level you are comfortable with; the EA does the rest. The minimum is 200 USD.

Low

The default, and the calmest ride of the four. For anyone who wants the account to move as little as possible.

Medium

One step up, for a mid-sized account that can take a wider swing.

High

For a small account willing to trade a wider swing for faster growth.

Boost

The fastest and the deepest. Choose it only once you understand what that means.

On a real account, always start on Auto lot at the Low level. The day you switch it on may simply be a bad day for the market, and Low keeps that day small. If you want a faster level, run it on a demo account alongside first, or wait until the capital is large enough.

The minimum is 200 USD. A small account starts with fewer strategies and the EA opens more as the balance grows — no top-up needed, profit unlocks the next one just as well.

How much capital

200 USD

the minimum — High or Boost · it starts with a few strategies, and the largest swings in percent.

500 USD

Medium · a good starting point.

1,000 USD

or more — Low, the default, for the calmest ride (recommended).

  • A larger account on a lower risk level moves less. If you are unsure, start on Low.
  • Leverage below 1:500 works, but everything then needs proportionally more money.
  • Cent accounts are supported and the figures are converted for you · lot steps 0.1 / 0.01 / 0.001.

These are demo accounts, not real money. A live account has its own spread, commission and execution speed, so the result will not be the same.

What is running right now

The figures above are backtests. The real account is public on MQL5: 100 USD on risk level Boost — **deliberately smaller than our own 200 USD minimum** and on the fastest risk level, so you can watch how the system works under the hardest conditions: what starting with only 100 USD looks like. The drawdown on an account this small may be high or it may not; that depends on the market ahead, and a larger account on a lower risk level moves less. We never copy its numbers onto this site — open it and read them live.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Live trading has slippage, commission and server response time, so live results differ from the tester.

READING THE NUMBERS

The two numbers people misread most

Win rate and drawdown — two pictures that settle both. Use them on any system's figures, not only ours.

A high win rate alone does not mean better: it only means something next to the size of the wins against the losses (R:R).
A high win rate alone does not mean better: it only means something next to the size of the wins against the losses (R:R).
Drawdown asks "if it falls this deep, can I stay with it?" — answer that before you look at the profit side.

NEWS

It steps aside for the big announcements

Array Breakout stops placing new orders around the big releases that move gold, by itself. Nothing to set. Trades already open are not closed — they run to their own SL/TP. On a live account it reads the MetaTrader calendar directly, at any broker.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

What to know before you start

  1. This is a breakout system

    It earns in trending months and gives some of it back in range months. It takes discipline to keep it running through a losing stretch.

  2. The deep stretches are real

    The drawdown figures in the results section are what those stretches look like. A higher risk level grows faster and falls deeper; if that is more than you can sit through, lower the risk level or start with more capital.

  3. Live differs from the tester

    Slippage, commission and server response time are real. Always test on a demo account first.

  4. Tested on gold only

    It will function on another symbol, but no test results exist for anything else.

  5. Free updates

    Your licence keeps every update, free, with nothing more to pay later.

FAQ

Before you start

How much capital do I need to start?+

The minimum is 200 USD, and the EA opens more strategies as the account grows. At the minimum it starts with a few strategies and the swings are the largest in percent.

Do I have to add money to get the whole team?+

No. Profit reaching the next rung unlocks it the same way.

Will 10 strategies pile trades onto the account?+

No. They wait for different levels and fire at different times, so the team usually holds a few positions at once and often none. For a smaller swing, choose a lower risk level.

Which brokers work?+

Any broker with ECN / RAW / Low Spread accounts and gold. The symbol is identified from its own currencies, so XAUUSD, GOLD and suffixed names all work.

Do cent accounts work?+

Yes, the figures are converted for you.

Do I need a VPS near the broker?+

No. Entries are pending stop orders and the stops sit on the broker's server; a 200–300 ms ping changes nothing.

What happens around big news?+

The EA stops placing new orders by itself. Nothing to set. Trades already open are not closed — they run to their own SL/TP.

Can I tune the strategies?+

No, by design. They are compiled in exactly as tested. What you choose is the risk level, the lot mode and the notifications.

Can I see the test files?+

Yes. Send us a message after you get the EA and we will send you the complete Strategy Tester reports to check yourself.

Is profit guaranteed?+

No. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Test on a demo first and use only money you can afford to risk.
