How it trades
Gold Scalpel identifies meaningful highs and lows around price and positions itself on both sides of the range, letting the market pick the direction. It commits only on a genuine break — then switches immediately to protecting the trade.
Most trades end at scratch or with a small profit, a few ride a clean breakout for a real win, and large losses are rare because the stop moves to breakeven early. You do not need a high win rate; you need the average loss kept tiny. There is no martingale, grid, or averaging into losers.
Before you buy
Gold Scalpel is a scalper, so spread is the single biggest factor in how it performs. It runs on any broker, but it is built for raw-spread or zero-spread accounts. On a standard wide-spread account the edge erodes quickly.
The free demo runs in the MT5 Strategy Tester — use it to backtest on your own gold history first. Live results are tracked publicly on the MQL5 signal linked above.
Trading involves risk. No strategy wins every trade, and past performance — including backtests — does not guarantee future results. Test on a demo account before committing real capital, and only risk what you can afford to lose.
