EA Red Dragon MT5 is Ruslan Pishun's support/resistance breakout scalper for MetaTrader 5 — your download includes RedDragon v1.03 plus eight vendor .set presets. We publish author-recommended-xauusd-m15.set from our XAUUSD M15 Strategy Tester run so you can load the same inputs we tested.

Overview

Breakout scalper that trades support and resistance level breaks with adaptive trailing stops and tight stop-loss logic. Vendor documentation targets EURUSD, USDJPY, and GBPUSD on M30/H1 using pending orders on hedging accounts only. We tested the author XAUUSD M15 gold preset on every tick / real ticks over a three-month window.

Best for
  • MT5 hedging-account scalpers researching support/resistance breakouts
  • Gold (XAUUSD) testers who want a published M15 preset starting point
  • Buyers comparing our short-window real-tick lab run to the vendor presets in the zip
Before you go live
  • Hedging account required — EA uses pending orders and will not run on netting accounts
  • VPS recommended for low-latency scalping execution
  • Our backtest is a 3-month XAUUSD M15 window (Apr–Jun 2026) — not a full-year proof
  • Equity drawdown reached 15.44% vs 8.2% balance DD — review before live sizing

We ran the author XAUUSD M15 preset (reddragon xauusd M15.set) with every tick / real ticks on MetaQuotes-Demo, Apr–Jun 2026, $10,000 deposit. Download author-recommended-xauusd-m15.set from the backtest section to load the same cleaned inputs.

What account type does EA Red Dragon MT5 require?

A hedging MT5 account — the EA uses pending orders and needs simultaneous buy/sell capacity. It will not work on netting accounts. Confirm hedging is enabled with your broker before purchase.

What did the backtest show for risk?

The published 3-month run finished +$1,790 net (PF 1.47) across 2,014 trades with ~82% wins, but equity drawdown reached 15.44% while balance DD was 8.2%. High trade count scalping — treat as lab output on demo conditions and re-test on your broker before sizing live.

Does this EA work on forex pairs or only gold?

Vendor documentation targets EURUSD, USDJPY, and GBPUSD on M30/H1. The zip includes forex and index presets plus the XAUUSD M15 gold set we backtested. Demo the preset that matches your symbol and timeframe — our published numbers are XAUUSD M15 only.

Do I need a VPS?

Recommended. EA Red Dragon is a scalper that relies on fast pending-order execution. A VPS keeps MT5 connected with stable latency to your broker.
