🔢 Conclusion
Unlocked AI MT5 Gold Scalping Intraday Swing EA combines AI-driven execution and local EA logic with three distinct trading profiles: Scalping, Intraday, and Swing. This structure allows the system to use different Take Profit, Stop Loss, and trailing parameters depending on the intended trading horizon.
The current configuration enables both engines, with Max EA trades = 2, Max total positions = 0 (unlimited), and a 50.0-point maximum spread. AI execution uses Magic Number 777778, while the local strategy uses Magic Number 888889.
For risk management, the EA uses Auto Lot by Risk % (Stop Loss) with Risk % = 4.0, while the fixed lot reference is 0.01. The scalping profile uses 2500 TP / 1500 SL, the intraday profile uses 4000 TP / 2000 SL, and the swing profile uses 8000 TP / 4000 SL.
AI management is configured to use AI plan values, with fixed TSL/Step per mode enabled and a 0.2 non-scalping SL/TP tolerance ratio. Break-even is currently disabled. The AI engine allows 1 live position, 2 pending orders, and 4 total AI trades per cycle, with pending orders expiring after 1.0 hour and a maximum pending distance of 1000.0 points.
The news filter is enabled for USD, EUR, GBP, and JPY, blocking high- and medium-impact events from 30 minutes before until 60 minutes after the event. The blocking mode applies to both AI and Local strategies. Monday/Friday restrictions are currently disabled.
For live trading, users should carefully validate the 4.0% risk setting, point-based TP/SL values, AI API configuration, spread conditions, and news-filter behavior with their broker and account size. Demo testing and historical testing are strongly recommended before deploying the EA with real capital.
