It is a breakout system like the main EA, but it holds short: a pending order when price clears a nearby level, one trade at a time, a stop loss from the first second. No grid, no martingale, no averaging down.

ArrayBreakoutX Gold Scalp
Gold breakout,
Big breakout systems wait. Some weeks gold sits in a range and nothing happens. This one is built for those days: it takes short moves out of nearby support and resistance, and it is usually out of the trade within hours.

What it isThe quiet-day EA
The quiet-day EA
There is no strategy list and there are no set files. The values are tested and fixed inside the EA — drop it on the chart and keep the defaults.
Run it on its own, or next to Array Breakout X Gold on the same account: the two never touch each other's orders.
Plainly about the shape of the result: it wins often and the losing trade is bigger than the winning one. The profit comes from winning about three trades in four, and quiet years make little.
No gridNo martingaleNo averaging downOne trade at a time
Settings and capitalThe only decision
The only decision
No risk levels, no set files. You only choose whether the lot follows the balance or stays fixed. Minimum 150 USD.
The default — the lot follows the account balance, so it grows as the account grows.
You set the lot yourself, for traders who want to control the risk per trade.
On a real account, always start on Auto lot — the default — and with money you can afford to lose. The day you switch it on may simply be a bad day for the market. If you want a different setting or a bigger lot, test it on a demo account alongside first, or wait until the capital is large enough.
If you run it next to Array Breakout X Gold, add this capital on top of what you keep for the main EA — do not split the same money.
How much capital
The minimum — the capital of the live account we show publicly. At this size the same loss is the largest share of the balance.
and up — recommended, about 300 USD per 0.01 lot.
The capital of the main test on this page, and the smoothest equity line of the three.

Demo accounts you can watch
Follow them any time on Myfxbook. Every figure comes from the account itself — this site does not type them in.
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.
Always test on your own broker's demo account first. Spread, commission and order execution differ from broker to broker, and short trades feel that more than long ones, so your live result will differ from the tester.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Live trading has slippage, commission and server response time.

The EA steps aside for the major US announcements on its own. Nothing to set, and it works at any broker.
Prop-firm mode is one switch: it adds a daily loss cut at the percentage you set. Off by default.
It runs beside Array Breakout X Gold on the same account — separate orders, no conflict. The on-chart panel shows each EA's own status, net result, win rate and drawdown.
