Essential Requirements for Running the XAU MASTER MT4 Gold Bot
To ensure your Automated Gold Trading performs identically to our verified live accounts, the correct platform configuration is mandatory. The XAU MASTER Expert Advisor has specific requirements optimized for high-speed execution:
-
Platform: Exclusively MetaTrader 4 (MT4).
-
Instrument: XAUUSD (Gold vs. US Dollar).
-
Timeframe: M5
The Critical Role of Broker and Leverage
Choosing the right broker is not optional; it’s fundamental to the success of your Gold EA.
-
Account Type: We highly recommend a Raw Spread or ECN account. The XAU MASTER trades frequently and short, making low spreads a critical factor for profitability.
-
Leverage: Our verified results were achieved using 1:1000 leverage. We strongly recommend a minimum leverage of 1:500 to ensure sufficient margin is available to handle Gold’s inherent volatility. Low leverage can prematurely close profitable positions due to margin calls.
Final Setup Checklist
Before launching your XAUUSD Expert Advisor, confirm the following:
-
MT4’s AutoTrading feature is ON.
-
The EA is running on a Virtual Private Server (VPS) 24/5 for uninterrupted trading.
-
The correct Set File (provided upon purchase) has been loaded into the EA’s settings.
