Thanos EA V1.0 MT5 – Gold Scalper for M15

If you’ve been staring at the gold chart waiting for clean entries, you’re not alone. EURUSD can be wild—fakeouts, rapid spikes around sessions, spreads widening when you least expect it. Thanos EA V1.0 MT5 is built to handle precisely that. It hunts short, decisive moves on M15, filters out a lot of the noise, and manages risk so you don’t have to babysit every candle. It’s a pragmatic scalper; not a “flip $100 to $10,000 in a week” fantasy. You’ll get consistent logic, disciplined exits, and plenty of control over risk. In other words, the stuff that actually helps you stick around in the game.

What is Thanos EA V1.0 MT5?

Thanos EA is a lightweight, latency-aware scalper designed for EURUSD on the M5 timeframe. It blends momentum confirmation (so you’re not fading a freight train) with a gentle mean-reversion bias (so you’re not buying tops either). The entry engine looks for confluence—trend alignment, volatility posture, and micro-pullbacks—before it fires. Exits are handled by ATR-anchored stops and a dynamic take-profit model that adapts to current range conditions. No martingale, no grid, no nonsense.

A few design goals guided the build:

Clarity first. Every parameter has a job. No mystery switches.
Prop-friendly. Daily loss guardrails and equity protections help you respect firm rules.
Broker-agnostic. Works best with raw/ECN accounts, but won’t choke on standard setups either.
Fast to deploy. A sensible default profile means you can be live (or on demo, pls!) in minutes.

Why gold and why M15?

Gold is liquid, popular, and (let’s be honest) dramatic. It trends hard around macro catalysts, then consolidates just long enough to trap impatient traders. M15 hits a sweet spot: quick enough for frequent opportunities, slow enough that you’re not paying half your edge in spread and slippage. The EA’s filters are tuned for this tempo—session volatility, spread checks, and candle structure that actually matters.

How Thanos EA makes decisions

Without giving away the secret sauce, here’s the flow:

Session and spread checks. If spreads are out of bounds or the market is “dead,” it sits out.
Trend agreement. A fast and a baseline trend filter must agree; no countertrend hero moves.
Volatility posture. ATR bands define whether the market is expanding or contracting.
Micro-pullback logic. Entries wait for a small retrace into a favorable zone, then fire on momentum resumption.
Risk and exits. ATR-based hard stop, plus an adaptive take-profit. Optional trailing once price clears a threshold.

This gives trades a fair chance to breathe—no suffocating 50-cent stops on $10 swings—but still cuts losers quickly when the thesis breaks.

Recommended setup (quick start)

Chart: EURUSD, M5
Account type: Hedging (preferred; netting also works)
Leverage: 1:200 or higher is ideal
Lot sizing: Start conservative. A common baseline is 0.01 lots per $200–$300 of balance, then scale with live data.
VPS: Use a low-latency VPS near your broker if you can.
Session filter: London + early New York tend to be the richest windows; enable the EA’s session limiter if your broker supports reliable server time.
News filter: If your setup includes a news calendar, consider pausing around Tier-1 releases; otherwise widen stops or reduce risk during those windows.

Risk management that respects real accounts

Look, compounding is cool, but capital protection is cooler. Thanos EA includes:

Equity stop: Hard daily equity loss cap (you set it). Once hit, the EA goes flat for the day.
Max positions: Limit concurrent positions; the default is intentionally modest.
No martingale/grid: Every position stands on its own logic; no doubling down coz “it’ll come back.”
Slippage and spread guard: If the market’s ugly, it skips the entry rather than forcing a bad fill.

Keep your daily loss limit small enough that you can mentally (and financially) return tomorrow. That discipline—more than any parameter—keeps traders in the game.

Performance mindset and expectations

You’ll see runs where gold is trending beautifully and the EA strings together multiple clean wins. You’ll also see chop—tight ranges, feints, and whipsaws that test patience. That’s normal. Use a realistic target framework: a series of small, repeatable edges, not a moonshot. Journal your trades (the EA can write comments and magic numbers so you can filter), track win/loss distribution, and tweak risk after gathering at least a few weeks of live or demo data.

Installation & first launch (step-by-step)

Download and copy files. Place the .ex5 file into MQL5/Experts/ inside your MT5 data folder.
Restart MT5. Or right-click “Expert Advisors” in the Navigator and hit “Refresh.”
Open XAUUSD M15. Double-check the symbol name matches your broker’s (sometimes it’s XAUUSD.a, etc.).
Drag Thanos EA to chart. In the inputs, keep defaults for the first session.
Enable algo trading. The green “Algo Trading” button should be on; check that Expert tab shows initialization OK.
Run on demo first. Let it trade through at least one full London-NY cycle before flipping any advanced switches.

Key inputs you’ll care about

RiskPerTrade: Percent of balance per position. Start low (e.g., 0.5%).
MaxDailyLoss: Dollar or percent cutoff for the session. Hit it? You’re done for the day—good.
ATRPeriod / ATRMultiplier: Controls stop width. Volatile brokers may need a touch more room.
SessionStart/End: Align to your broker server time; keep it to the windows you actually want to trade.
MaxSpread / MaxSlippage: If you see many rejected trades, loosen slightly—but not too much.

Pro tips from the trenches

Don’t run it through every news blast. Thin liquidity + gold = rude fills.
Keep your chart clean. The EA analyzes structure; redundant indicators won’t help and may slow terminals.
Audit broker conditions. A “gold-friendly” broker with tight raw spreads and fast execution can literally be the difference between profitable and breakeven.
Scale responsibly. Add size after a stable month, not after a lucky week.

Common questions

Can I use it on other pairs?
It’s tuned for EURUSD M15. You can experiment on demo with indices or majors, but results will vary.

What’s the minimum deposit?
Technically you can start small, but give the EA breathing room—think $300–$500+ with micro-lots, especially if your broker’s spreads fluctuate.

Does it hedge or average down?
No. One clean thesis per trade, managed with ATR logic, full stop.

Is a VPS necessary?
Not strictly, but a low-latency VPS improves fills during fast moves and makes your results more consistent.

Final word

Thanos EA V1.0 MT5 isn’t trying to catch every wiggle. It’s selective, disciplined, and built for the reality of gold’s personality on M15. If you want a tool that respects risk as much as it respects opportunity, you’ll feel at home. Start small, track everything, iterate with data, and let the edge develop. That’s how serious traders grow.
