Adaptive Gold Scalper Review
An MA-crossover scalper on gold and Nasdaq 100 with several genuine live signals at reputable brokers (TMGM, Tickmill, Vantage) — these show large drawdowns but also 100%+ months. The red flag is the discrepancy: the backtest comes in at only ~1% DD with a tripled account, which next to the heavy live DDs looks like curve fitting. As a tight-stop scalper it strictly needs a low-cost, tight-spread broker.

What Adaptive Gold Scalper is
Adaptive Gold Scalper by Fan Yang is a scalping, trend-following EA on XAUUSD, NAS100 (MT4/MT5), sold via MQL5-Market. We classify it independently — by strategy risk, verified live track, transparency and value, not by vendor promises.
Live results & track record
Mehrere echte Live-Signale bei seriösen Brokern, teils aber erst seit Juli 2026 und mit großen Drawdowns. The crux here: AlgoTradingSpace links no continuous public live account for this EA. An equity curve from backtests alone says little about real money — slippage, spread and execution are missing, and parameters can be fitted to the past until the curve looks perfect. Without a linked account we treat every return claim with scepticism; the EA is ATS-vetted, but the rating stays deliberately cautious.
Strategy & risk
The scalping, trend-following approach sets the risk profile. The approach uses defined entries/exits; what matters is whether the live track confirms the backtest picture. On MQL5 you buy the vendor setting — a hard risk cap (parameters or an external drawdown guard) is on you to set.
Cost & usability
On MQL5 the EA costs ab 499 $. You buy the vendor version without calibration — risk cap, broker choice and setfile are on you.
Who it is (not) for
Suitable for traders who check the live signal carefully themselves and run the EA with their own hard risk cap and budget it as *one* building block. Not suitable for small accounts without a buffer or for anyone who mistakes a smooth backtest curve for a guarantee.
Verdict
Adaptive Gold Scalper lands at 2.7/5 — with reservations. Check the MQL5 live signal carefully before buying.
