Thanos AI Gold is a gold EA for MetaTrader 5. It trades breakouts on gold (XAUUSD) and the yen (USDJPY) from a single chart. Every order goes on with a stop loss attached. No grid, no martingale, no averaging down. Ever.
Every figure on this page comes from the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester, and you can repeat it with the free demo.
I got tired of gold EAs that do one thing beautifully and then hand the whole account back when the market changes character. So I built Thanos AI as a portfolio instead.
Ten engines run side by side on gold and USDJPY, each hunting a different kind of breakout, and two machine-learning models only step in when the odds clearly lean one way. On a quiet day for one engine, another is usually busy. And gold and the yen rarely get stuck at the same time.
MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester, 1 November 2021 to 1 November 2026, 1-minute OHLC. One XAUUSD chart trading gold and USDJPY, starting balance £1,000.
| Preset | Built for | Final balance | Deepest drawdown* | Profit factor | Trades |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low (Prop Firms) | Prop-firm challenges and funded accounts | £3,842 | 10.0 % | 2.09 | 1,086 |
| Low | The calmest curve on any account | £19,627 | 9.9 % | 2.09 | 2,396 |
| Medium default | Steady compounding growth | £32.7 million | 33.8 % | 2.15 | 3,392 |
| High | Faster growth with deeper swings | £54.8 million | 47.4 % | 2.04 | 3,392 |

*The biggest drop from a peak, and the worse of two runs: the five-year test, or a fresh start on 1 January 2026 (tested to 10 November 2026). It's what you'd have had to sit through. The multi-million figures come from compounding and show how strong the edge is in testing. They are not a forecast: long before an account got that big, brokers would refuse lot sizes like these. In 1-minute OHLC the Phoenix engine sits out, so the table covers nine engines. Backtests and past results don't guarantee future ones.
On Medium, gold on its own took £1,000 to £7.61 million in testing, with a 34.1 % drawdown. Add USDJPY and it finishes at £32.7 million, and the drawdown actually dips slightly, to 33.8 %.
The two markets rarely move for the same reasons, so one balance gets more chances and fewer bad weeks. You don't need a second chart: Thanos AI finds your broker's USDJPY by itself.
Trades last hours to days. It isn't a scalper, so it doesn't depend on lightning-fast fills or one special broker.
H4 fractal breakouts, buys only by default, checked against three timeframes. 1 ATR stop, 3 ATR target.
H4 channel breakouts in established uptrends, above the 200-period average. Long only.
Stop entries beyond swing highs and lows the market hasn't broken yet, each at a different swing depth.
Faster swing breakouts with a tight trailing stop that locks in gains early.
A small ladder of stop orders around H1 levels the market has respected for 32 hours or more. Sits out the US jobs report.
Forecasts gold's next hour on M30 from 60 inputs, including the dollar against the euro, yen and Aussie. Only trades when its meta-model is over 60 % confident.
Reads the H4 swing structure from 23 inputs and buys when the trend score is strong and the five-day drift points up. Exits within 72 hours.
Snap, Rift and Phoenix place genuine stop orders with your broker, so an entry still fills if your terminal drops out for a moment.
Before every order it works out the margin it needs, pending orders included, and either trades smaller or waits.
Mind and Tide are gradient-boosted decision trees, built into the EA and run on your own CPU in a few milliseconds.
If you want it a bit bigger or smaller, the Overall risk % setting scales every engine at once. If you're not sure, start on Low or on a demo account.
| Preset | Who it suits | Start from | Leverage (min / recommended) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low (Prop Firms) | Challenges and funded accounts. Guards always on. | £1,000 (all engines from about £5,000) | 1:30 / 1:100 |
| Low | Anyone who wants the gentlest curve. Guards optional. | £1,000 (all engines from about £5,000) | 1:30 / 1:100 |
| Medium | The default. Good growth, with drawdowns most people can live with. | £1,000 (about $1,300) | 1:100 / 1:200 |
| High | Only with money you could watch fall by about half. | £1,000 | 1:200 / 1:500 |
| Very High | Experienced traders who accept deep drawdowns. | £1,000 | 1:200 / 1:500 |
Thanos AI won't open a trade if even the smallest size, 0.01 lots, would risk more than the preset allows. On a small account that rule switches engines off.
Only Rift and Snap can trade. The AI, Gauntlet and Swift never open a position, so the curve looks flat. That's the EA refusing trades it can't size safely.
Every engine shows up, but roughly a quarter of trades still get skipped to protect the account. Not the full portfolio.
About $1,300. All ten engines at full strength and every available trade taken. This is how it's meant to run.
Same Medium preset over two years (10 November 2024 to 10 November 2026): from £100 the account spent 294 days below a previous high; from £1,000 the longest stretch was 41 days. Backtest figures.
Pick your firm and Thanos AI loads its daily and maximum loss rules, including trailing limits and the firm's own trading day.
Not affiliated with or endorsed by FTMO or IC Funded. Check your firm's own rules on EAs, news trading and consistency first.
Your broker's data won't be identical to mine, so expect close rather than exact. If your numbers come out very different, message me on MQL5 before buying and I'll go through it with you.
If you're comparing forex robots and trading bots, these are the questions worth asking first.
An Expert Advisor is a trading robot that runs inside MetaTrader. It reads the chart, opens and closes trades by its own rules, and sizes each position automatically. Thanos AI Gold is an Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5, sold through the official MQL5 Market.
A gold EA is an Expert Advisor built to trade gold, usually the XAUUSD symbol, which is gold priced in US dollars. Gold moves a lot and trends well, which suits breakout systems. Thanos AI Gold trades XAUUSD and adds USDJPY from the same chart, because the two rarely move for the same reasons.
No. It never uses a grid, martingale or averaging down. Every trade is sent with a stop loss, so a losing trade costs what it was sized to cost and the system moves on.
No. It's a swing-style breakout system. Trades usually last from a few hours to a few days, so it doesn't rely on ultra-fast execution or tiny spreads. If you're looking for a scalping or high-frequency day-trading robot, this isn't one.
Two machine-learning models, Mind and Tide, are gradient-boosted decision trees built into the EA. A new set has been trained for every quarter since 2016, each only on data from before its date, so backtests can't see into the future. Live trading uses the newest models.
Yes. The Low (Prop Firms) preset loads the daily and maximum loss rules for FTMO and IC Funded accounts and stops at 80 % of the daily limit and 90 % of the maximum loss. Always check your firm's own rules on EAs first.
Thanos AI Gold is built for MetaTrader 5 and sold for MT5 on the MQL5 Market, so you need an MT5 account with your broker.
Use the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester with real history: XAUUSD, M30, 1 minute OHLC or real ticks, a long date range and a realistic deposit. For Thanos AI Gold, start at £1,000 so every engine can trade, then compare your report with the five-year table above.
New model releases, update notes, presets and setup help, straight from the developer. Free to join.
Those keep adding to a losing position and wait for the price to come back. Their curves look lovely until one move takes out the account. Thanos AI takes the loss at the stop and moves on, and you can see its drawdowns in the table above.
It's a breakout system. It makes its money when markets trend and gives some back when they chop sideways. You'll have losing weeks, and some days it won't trade at all because there's nothing worth breaking out of. Give it three or four months before you judge it, on a preset whose drawdown you're comfortable with.
I'd strongly recommend at least £1,000 (about $1,300), so every engine and both AI models can trade together. For the Low presets the same point is around £5,000.
No. Attach it to XAUUSD and it finds your broker's USDJPY by itself. If your broker doesn't offer USDJPY, it trades gold alone and says so in the journal.
XAUUSD with any suffix, plus EURUSD, USDJPY and AUDUSD, because Mind reads them. M30 is recommended and a hedging account is best. Raw or ECN pricing helps, but normal spreads are fine for trades that last hours or days. A VPS keeps it running without interruption.
Yes. Use Low (Prop Firms), pick your firm, and check that firm's rules on EAs, news trading and consistency first.
Yes. It only touches its own orders, by magic number, and order comments show which engine placed each trade.
They're refreshed through free MQL5 Market updates, and each update comes with notes on what changed.
