Gold EAs for MT5 (XAUUSD)
Gold moves further in a day than most currency pairs, and its spread widens around the daily rollover and major US news. Our gold EAs are built for those conditions; open any one to check its timeframe, drawdown and the account type it needs.

What makes a gold EA different
- Contract size. One standard lot of XAUUSD is usually 100 ounces, so a $1 move in price is $100 per lot. Brokers vary, so check yours in the symbol specification, or use the gold lot size calculator.
- Trading costs. A gold scalper can be profitable on a raw-spread account and lose money on a standard one. Compare spread plus commission per lot before you start.
- Sessions. Most gold volume trades in the London and New York sessions, and many gold EAs pause around rollover when spreads jump.
- Drawdown speed. Gold's volatility means losing runs arrive faster. Size the account to the EA's worst live drawdown, not its average month.
Gold EA FAQ
What is the best gold EA?
The one whose drawdown, minimum deposit and broker needs fit your account. We don't rank our own tools as "best"; compare them on the numbers each product page shows.
Which broker suits a gold EA?
One with low XAUUSD spread plus commission, fast execution and stable spreads at rollover. Check the product page for the account type the EA was tested on.
How much money do I need?
Each EA states its minimum deposit, set by its lot size and its worst historical drawdown. Check your own numbers with the gold lot size calculator.
Can I run a gold EA on a prop firm account?
Yes, if it is marked "Prop firm ready" and your firm allows EAs. Set the daily loss guard below your firm's limit; the prop firm drawdown calculator shows where.
