CATALYST EA · NEWS TRADER

Only trades real surprises.

It compares the actual numbers of major US reports (jobs, inflation, retail sales, business surveys) with what economists expected, measured against each report's own history. When the surprise is big enough, it takes one rule-based gold trade.

01The release. Read from MetaTrader's built-in economic calendar.
02The surprise. In-line numbers are ignored. Only a real surprise counts.
03The trade. Enters 5 minutes later, risks at most 3% at the stop, closes after 60 minutes, win or lose.

Good to know

Weeks without a trade are normal. The backtest made about 10% a year. Research from mid-2017 stayed profitable in every period, at double costs, and without its 5 best trades.

BREAKOUT EA · DAILY BREAKOUT

One clean breakout a day.

Gold often picks a direction early and keeps going. Breakout sets a buy level and a sell level from yesterday's range and takes the first one that breaks. Losers are cut at the day's open; winners run until the evening.

01The levels. Today's open ± 0.7 × yesterday's high-to-low range.
02The break. First touch only, one trade a day, stop at the open.
03The exit. Closed by 21:00 server time. Never held overnight.
+Day filters. Stays out on NFP, CPI and Fed days, and after extreme-range days. Breakouts lost money on those days in every period we tested.

Why fewer than half can win

Losers are cut early at the open; winners run until the evening. On average a win is about 1.4× a loss, so 48% winners still adds up. Expect losing streaks: 12 in a row happened.

Gold only, on purpose

We ran the exact same rules on 15 other markets: forex pairs, US and European indices, big US stocks. None passed, so we don't sell it for them.

AI OBSERVER · RESEARCH TOOL · BETA

An AI forecast you can check, not just trust.

Every morning, before the Breakout entry window opens, AI Observer shows an AI model the last 10 daily candles, today's levels and today's US news calendar. The AI answers TREND or QUIET, a direction and a confidence. At 21:00 the tool records what really happened and updates a public scorecard.

  • Never trades. It only records and scores the forecast.
  • Your own API key. You pay your AI provider directly, typically cents a month. The key stays in your MetaTrader.
  • An honest scorecard. It compares the AI with a lazy "always QUIET" guess, so a good-looking hit rate can't fool you.
FORWARD TEST IN PROGRESS

Running Nov 2026 – 31 Jan 2027 with rules fixed in advance. We'll publish the scorecard either way.

PROOF, NOT PROMISES

45+ ideas tested. 2 survived.

Most bots are tuned until the backtest looks perfect. We did the opposite: rules were written down before each test, chosen on older data (2012–2021), checked once on newer data (2022–2026), with real spreads and again at double costs. Everything that failed was thrown away, even ideas that looked great for ten years.

Only gold stays above 1.15 in both periods. That's why GoldPulse is sold for XAUUSD only.

LAUNCHING EARLY 2027

Two strategies that work on different days.

Catalyst trades the big US news releases. Breakout deliberately stays out on NFP, CPI and Fed days. In our tests their daily results moved almost independently (correlation 0.07). They will be offered separately and as the Gold Suite bundle, with AI Observer included.

We won't sell anything until the live demo matches the backtests. Leave your email and you'll get:

  • the monthly live-demo results, good months and bad ones
  • the AI Observer scorecard when the forward test ends
  • the launch price first, before it's public

RESEARCH LOG

The live test, month by month.

Every month we post what the bots did on the demo accounts and how it compares with the backtest, including the losing months.

1 NOVEMBER 2026

The live demo starts

Catalyst runs on a $1,000 demo account and Breakout on its own $3,000 demo account, both at 0.01 lot. AI Observer records a forecast every trading morning. The rules are frozen for three months: no tweaks, no manual trades.

What we expect: about 2–3 Catalyst trades and about 9 Breakout trades a month, with losing streaks along the way. First results at the start of December.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

When can I buy?+

Early 2027 on the MQL5 Market, once the 3-month live demo matches the backtests. If it doesn't, we'll say so here and keep working. Get launch updates to hear first.

Do the trading bots use AI?+

No, on purpose. Catalyst and Breakout follow transparent rules. We tested AI as a trade filter and it didn't help, so it isn't in them. AI lives only in AI Observer, which never trades and is being tested in public.

How much money do I need?+

Our tests used $1,000 per 0.01 lot for Catalyst and $3,000 per 0.01 lot for Breakout. Smaller balances mean more risk per trade. Each panel shows the risk at the stop before a trade. Final guidance comes after the live period.

Can I run Catalyst and Breakout on the same account?+

Yes. They use different magic numbers and never touch each other's trades. Put each on its own XAUUSD chart and size for the combined risk.

Does it work on EURUSD, indices or other symbols?+

No. We tested the same rules on 14 other markets and they didn't pass (see the chart in the proof section). GoldPulse is built for XAUUSD only.

Is it suitable for prop-firm challenges?+

We don't claim it. Catalyst trades news releases, which many prop firms restrict. Check your firm's rules first.

Do I need a VPS?+

Recommended. If MetaTrader is closed at release time or at the breakout, the trade is missed.

Can I lose money?+

Yes. Both bots had losing streaks and drawdowns in testing (up to about 8% and 10%), and live results can be worse. Only trade money you can afford to lose.

Follow the live test before you trust it.

We publish the demo results every month, good or bad. Get them by email, plus the launch price first.
