Gold automation for MetaTrader 5 and cTrader

ECFX XAU Redline
Lock30x + Aurum + Sovereign

Redline is available as the current MQL5 v1.150 Expert Advisor and as cTrader Store v1.2. The two editions are separate platform builds with their own marketplace delivery, version identity and testing workflow.

Evidence boundary: the downloadable manual, MT5 tutorial and panel screenshots below document earlier MT5 material. They do not prove the behaviour or performance of the current MT5 v1.150 package or cTrader v1.2 package.

Official cTrader Store edition · version 1.2

A separate multi-engine Redline build for cTrader.

The current cTrader Store listing identifies product 5266 as a Gold-focused cBot with independently managed LOCK30X, Trend Complement, Aurum and Sovereign strategy families. Its reference profile uses the broker's tradable Gold instrument on M5 and may inspect completed H1 bars internally.

Before attaching to a chart

Start with factory defaults on the broker's Gold M5 symbol.

Confirm Hedging mode, Gold contract details, tick size, minimum stops, spread, commission, leverage, server time and sufficient M5/H1 history. Enable Algo Trading in both MT5 and the EA properties, then review Experts and Journal messages.

Shared-account warning: the stock daily guard can close positions account-wide. Review Daily_Guard_Account_Wide_Close before using Redline beside manual trades or another EA.

Risk disclosure

Automated trading is high risk. Backtests and historical simulations do not guarantee future or live performance. Broker data, spread, commission, swap, slippage, leverage, execution, symbol specification, VPS continuity and market conditions can materially alter results. Test independently and use only risk appropriate for the account.
