Tired of dodgy forex bots with overhyped promises and underwhelming results? Yeah… us too. That’s why YoForex brings you MACD Gladiator EA V1.4 MT4 — a no-BS, clean-cut Expert Advisor built for traders who value reliable, rule-based entries over flashy gimmicks.

If you’ve ever been burned by martingale bots or grid systems that looked good in backtests but nuked your account in real time… this EA is your redemption arc.

With MACD Gladiator, we went back to basics — structure, discipline, and real technical logic. No pyramiding. No over-leveraging. Just solid signals and tight execution powered by MetaTrader 4. Oh, and it runs on both demo and real accounts without a hitch.

Ready to gear up and dominate the charts like a true gladiator? Let’s break it down.

Overview – What is MACD Gladiator EA?

MACD Gladiator EA is a trend-following Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 4. It combines the ever-reliable MACD indicator with an EMA filter to validate trade direction, filtering out noise and reducing false signals.

Think of it as a disciplined soldier in your trading arsenal — not the wild type that spams trades, but the one that waits for precise entry signals and moves in with calculated precision.

MACD Gladiator’s job?

Wait for a MACD crossover (signal line logic included)
Confirm trend bias using an EMA filter
Fire off a single position per symbol, with stop-loss and take-profit baked into every move

It supports all major currency pairs and shines especially on XAUUSD (Gold) across H1 to H4 timeframes. Whether you're running it on a low-spread ECN account or testing strategies on demo, this bot is versatile, lightweight, and beginner-friendly.

Key Features of MACD Gladiator EA

Here’s what makes this EA stand out:

MACD Crossover Strategy – Executes trades based on classic MACD line and signal line crossovers
EMA Trend Filter – Avoids trading against the dominant trend using dynamic EMA logic
One Trade at a Time – Keeps risk clean by avoiding multiple open positions on the same pair
User-Controlled SL/TP – Configure your own Stop Loss and Take Profit levels for full control
Retry Execution Logic – Automatically retries trades if a broker error or slippage is detected
No Martingale / Grid – Absolutely no high-risk position stacking. Period.
Volume & Margin Checks – Ensures margin is available before entering any trade
No DLLs or External Files – Pure MQ4 script. No hidden dependencies
Plug and Play Setup – Minimal setup required, suitable for new and experienced users alike
Works on Gold & FX Majors – Optimized for XAUUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY and more

This EA is prop firm friendly too. It avoids frequent high drawdowns and reckless overtrading, making it suitable for evaluation phases if you’re chasing FTMO-style accounts.

Backtest Results & Real-Market Reliability

Let’s talk stats. Backtests for MACD Gladiator EA V1.4 were performed on XAUUSD H1 and EURUSD H4 using high-quality tick data, real slippage simulation, and variable spread settings to mimic live trading conditions.

Backtest Period: Jan 2020 – Apr 2024
Equity Growth: +318% on XAUUSD
Max Drawdown: < 8%
Win Rate: 61%
Average R:R: 1:1.5

This EA doesn't trade every minute — and that's the point. It waits. It filters. It selects only the highest-probability MACD-based entries using strong EMA confirmation.

And in live market tests, it continued to hold its edge. During high volatility events (like FOMC or NFP), the EA either stayed out of the market or stuck to predefined risk rules.

That’s discipline you can rely on.
