A brand-new gold M15 EA (published 2026-07-11) from a no-name seller with under 500 sales that reached the top of the market by unclear means. The red flags bundle together: NO live signal, a backtest with profit factor ~48, Sharpe ~31 and a ~96-97% win rate with essentially no losses — the classic overfit/manipulation signature. The 'Quantum' name borrows Bogdan's branding but is not his product.

What Quantum iGold is
Quantum iGold by Yassine Mouhssine is a grid EA on XAUUSD (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
No live signal available — performance cannot be verified. The crux here: there is no continuous, publicly verifiable live account for this EA that we could read ourselves. An equity curve from backtests or screenshots says little about real money — slippage, spread and execution are missing. Without a verifiable account we treat every return claim with scepticism, and the rating stays deliberately cautious.
Strategy & risk
The grid approach sets the risk profile. Grid/martingale systems often show a suspiciously straight equity curve — losses are absorbed by averaging in until one trend blows up the basket. A too-smooth curve here is a warning sign, not a seal of quality. 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 $125. 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
Quantum iGold lands at 1.9/5 — better avoided in its current form. Check the MQL5 live signal carefully before buying.
How the strategy trades
A schematic simulation of the strategy type we assign Quantum iGold to — not a replica of this EA and not real price data.
How it works
- The EA buys and lays a grid below: one more position every 20 pips, always 0.10 lots.
- All positions share one target just above the average price.
- Because they are all the same size, the average sits exactly in the middle: halfway back is break-even, and 5 pips above that the whole basket closes in profit.
- What the animation does not show: if price keeps running against the basket, the floating loss grows with every level – without a stop there is no built-in exit.
What we check
What we check on real grid EAs: the maximum floating loss on the live account, not the closed drawdown – and whether there is a hard stop for the whole basket.
Demonstration values: a simulated EURUSD path with 0.10 lots and $10,000 starting capital, deliberately favourable – every basket and every trend works out here. Not a real trading strategy, not a backtest and not investment advice.
Frequently asked questions
- Which markets does Quantum iGold trade?
XAUUSD. Mind the symbol: brokers name commodities differently (XAUUSD, GOLD, XTIUSD, USOIL and so on). Checking Market Watch before attaching the EA avoids the most common setup mistake.
- Which platform does Quantum iGold run on?
MT4/MT5. Continuous operation needs a VPS, because a sleeping machine leaves open positions unattended: VPS providers compared.
- What does Quantum iGold cost?
$125 (as of our last check). We take prices from the vendor, ATS or MQL5 product page, not from marketing copy — that often quotes different figures than the buy button.
- Does Quantum iGold use grid or martingale?
Yes — the design is Grid. That means further orders are added when price runs against an open position, and there is usually no hard per-trade stop-loss. Such systems stay quiet for a long time and then take the loss all at once. How that works and how to spot the dangerous variant is in our guide to grid and martingale EAs.
- Is Quantum iGold any good?
Our grade: 1.9 out of 5, traffic light red — avoid. It comes from six criteria, weighted most heavily towards the verified live track record and strategy risk. We rate from real accounts, not vendor backtests, and no EA vendor pays for ratings — the weighting is public in our methodology.
- Is there a verified live track for Quantum iGold?
No — we hold no independently checked live track for this specific EA. What we can place is the design and the vendor context. Without a documented account we rate conservatively; how we weight that is in our methodology.
