Quantora Breakout — Gold Breakout EA Setup Guide, Inputs & Backtest Results

How Quantora Breakout trades XAUUSD without a grid or martingale, what the Risk Governor and each input group control, the 858-trade backtest in fixed-lot and risk-percent modes, and how to size it per 0.01 lot.

By Hardik K Chapla — builder of the Quantora Robots MetaTrader Expert Advisors and indicator.

Quantora Breakout is a fully automated Gold EA that is deliberately not a grid or martingale system. It holds one position at a time, every trade carries a hard stop loss from the moment it opens, and the lot size never increases after a loss — what you risk per trade is what you defined, and nothing compounds against you. It is sold on the MQL5 Market and tracked on its own public Myfxbook account.

How it behaves on a chart

The EA reads the higher-timeframe structure of the Gold market, marks the levels that matter, and arms pending stop orders around them. When price breaks out through a level, the order fills with a protective stop already attached, and an adaptive profit-capture system manages the position — taking a fast partial where configured, moving to breakeven, and trailing the remainder. Positions that stagnate can be closed on a time rule. A spread filter skips entries when the market is too wide, and weekend protection clears exposure before the Friday close.

A built-in Risk Governor sits above all of that: a daily loss limit and an account drawdown cut-off that stop the EA trading when either is hit. Those two limits are the first thing to set before going live.

Backtest results (published on the product page)

The same 858-trade XAUUSD H1 test is published twice, showing the two position-sizing modes side by side, each from a $500 deposit:

  • Fixed lot 0.01 — full Strategy Tester report plus entries and P&L by hour, weekday and month
  • Auto lot (risk-percent, compounded) — full report plus the same entry-timing breakdown
  • The live Myfxbook account started in September 2026. Its early figures are shown on the product page with the sample size stated plainly — judge the strategy on the backtest until the live record has enough trades behind it

What the inputs let you change

Inputs are grouped in the MetaTrader inputs tab, and every one has a plain description:

  • Position sizing — fixed lot, or automatic risk-percent sizing where you set the risk per trade and the EA derives the lot from the stop distance
  • Structure / Entry — which higher-timeframe levels are armed and how far the pending orders sit from them
  • Adaptive Protection — how the volatility-adaptive protective stop is set for current conditions
  • Trade Management — the fast profit capture, dynamic trailing for the runner, optional partial-close + breakeven, and the optional time-based exit for stagnant trades
  • Risk Governor — the daily loss limit and the account drawdown cut-off
  • Weekend — clearing exposure before the Friday close
  • Display — the on-chart dashboard showing engine status, spread and exposure

Recommended setup

  • Symbol: XAUUSD / GOLD (broker suffixes supported) — one chart, default settings to start
  • Platform: MetaTrader 5; timeframe: H1
  • Broker: low-spread / ECN / Raw account strongly recommended; VPS for 24/5 uptime
  • Suggested minimum balance: $500 per 0.01 lot in fixed-lot mode — or switch to risk-percent sizing and set your preferred risk per trade
  • Every order is tagged with a magic number, so it is safe to run alongside other EAs
  • Results depend on your broker's spread, execution and Gold price feed — test on demo first and set the Risk Governor limits before going live
