1 EXPERT EX4 UNLOCKED NO DLL
XAUUSD M1 Sniper is a scalping robot for gold with short-term trend filtering.
It uses:
Entry signals from Stochastic on M1 (main entries)
Higher-timeframe Stochastic on H1 as a trend filter
Additional confirmations from Momentum, RSI, MACD, and Stochastic inside the TRADE() block
Virtual trailing stop for exit logic
Dynamic risk management via RiskTrade (%) and RiskStop (points)
In simple terms, it trades short impulses within the trend — meaning it’s sensitive to spread, execution speed, and XAUUSD volatility.
1. Symbol and Timeframe
Main instrument: XAUUSD (Gold vs USD)
Timeframe: M1
Filter timeframe: H1
The robot is optimized exclusively for gold; it won’t be efficient on other pairs.
2. Account Type
Best choice: ECN or RAW account with direct liquidity access.
Why:
The EA opens and closes trades quickly, often with small profit targets (10–15 points).
Any slippage or spread expansion can completely erase profits.
Recommended:
ECN / RAW account
Commission up to $7 per lot (round turn)
Avoid FIX or Standard accounts — the robot may skip trades or generate micro-drawdowns.
3. Spread and Execution
Ideal spread: up to 25 points (≈ $0.25)
Absolute max allowed (MaxSpreadPoints = 250 → 2.5$)
Execution speed: below 200 ms (optimal 50–100 ms)
The closer your VPS is to the broker’s server, the better — lower latency = better entries, less slippage.
4. VPS (Server)
The robot trades in real time and depends on stable connectivity.
Recommended:
VPS in London or Frankfurt (for most EU brokers)
Ping < 50 ms
No packet loss, 24/7 uptime
DLL imports must be enabled, otherwise the EA blocks itself.
5. Balance and Risk Settings
Balance Leverage Mode RiskTrade Approx Lot Notes
$500 1:200 Conservative 1% 0.03 Safe start
$1,000 1:200 Balanced 2% 0.07 Optimal
$2,000 1:500 Aggressive 2–3% 0.13–0.20 Requires monitoring
$5,000+ 1:500 Professional 2% 0.33 Stable performance
With RiskTrade = 2%, the average drawdown on normal gold volatility is 5–8%.
At 3% risk, it can reach 10–12% temporarily.
6. Trading Hours
The EA trades 24/7 but efficiency varies across sessions:
Best periods:
London + New York sessions (09:00–18:00 GMT) — strong volatility and clean impulses
Avoid:
Late Asian session (23:00–03:00 GMT) — low volatility, more false signals
You can disable trading manually during quiet hours to reduce sideways entries.
7. News and Volatility
The robot doesn’t use a news API but reacts to volatility spikes.
Recommendations:
Pause trading 15–30 minutes before major news: FOMC, NFP, CPI, Fed rate decisions.
Resume 30 minutes after the market stabilizes.
8. Optimal Trading Conditions for Maximum Performance
Symbol: XAUUSD
Timeframe: M1 (with H1 filter)

Conclusion:
The XAUUSD M1 Sniper performs best on ECN accounts with tight spreads and fast execution, using 1–2% RiskTrade and leverage 1:100+.
It’s optimized for real-time tick data, requiring stable connection and a reliable broker.
Under these conditions, it delivers high entry precision, minimal drawdown, and steady profit growth — even on short timeframes.
