MATrader AI v4 - Legacy XAUUSD Trading Version
MATrader AI v4 is the original version 4 of our well-known MATrader system. It is provided for traders who still want to use this exact legacy version instead of the newer MATrader builds.
MATrader AI v4 was tested for approximately four years before its original public release. The earlier product listing was later removed and re-uploaded, which reset its previous reviews and ranking history.
Optimized symbol: XAUUSD
Default timeframe: M1
Recommended reference environment: RoboForex ProCent with KXTL

Why We Still Provide MATrader AI v4
MATrader has continued to evolve, but some traders prefer the exact behavior of an older release they already know. MATrader AI v4 is therefore kept available as a legacy version.
This description refers specifically to version 4. It should not be confused with the newer MATrader releases, which contain later changes, additional logic and different internal configurations.
If you want the original v4 behavior, this is the version intended for that purpose.
How MATrader AI v4 Trades Gold
MATrader AI v4 combines neural-network-based entry logic with dynamic cycle management. It follows the higher-timeframe trend and uses its internal MAT logic to decide when a trading cycle should begin.
Once a trade is active, MATrader AI v4 can manage the position automatically and, depending on the selected configuration, expand the cycle through its grid and recovery logic.
The strategy can manage both BUY and SELL behavior, while the higher-timeframe trend determines the dominant direction. Grid, hedge and trade-management functions are available for handling corrections and larger adverse movements.
Take Profit, Minimal Profit Close, Trailing Stop, Break Even, Daily Target and account-level risk controls can then manage the cycle through to exit.
Why MATrader AI v4 Primarily Trades BUY in a Bullish Gold Environment
MATrader AI v4 is designed to follow the higher-timeframe trend rather than constantly trade both directions.
When the larger XAUUSD trend remains bullish, the EA will naturally favor BUY cycles. SELL functionality remains available for conditions in which the higher-timeframe trend and internal strategy logic turn bearish.
This trend-following design means short-term corrections do not automatically force the EA to reverse its main directional bias.
Automatic and Manual Trading
MATrader AI v4 supports both automatic and manual trading workflows.
- Automatic Trading - MATrader AI v4 finds and manages trades using its internal strategy.
- Manual Entry - You can open a trade manually and allow MATrader AI v4 to manage the grid, recovery and exit structure.
- Grid Toggle - Grid trading can be enabled or disabled depending on the desired strategy.
- One-Click Close - The MATrader AI v4 trading panel can close managed orders directly when required.
Dual Trading Engines
MATrader AI v4 includes two trading engines that can be used within the strategy.
- Engine A - Primary trading logic.
- Engine B - Alternative trading logic available according to the selected configuration.
- Engine Switching - MATrader AI v4 can change behavior after configurable trading conditions or position levels.
- BUY and SELL Trading - XAUUSD can be traded in either direction according to the active strategy conditions.
The two-engine structure provides additional flexibility when XAUUSD market conditions change.
AI and MAT Entry Logic
- Neural Analysis - AI-driven analysis helps determine entry timing.
- MAT Algorithms - Proprietary MAT logic works alongside the neural components.
- XAUUSD Calibration - Entry and cycle parameters are optimized specifically around XAUUSD.
- Dynamic Cycle Management - MATrader AI v4 manages the position structure after entry rather than relying only on the first trade.
Money Management
- Percent Lot - Position size can scale automatically with account balance.
- Fixed Lot - Uses a fixed starting lot.
- Step Lots - Lot size can increase gradually according to configured grid steps.
- Martingale Mode - Multiplier-based progression is available as an optional configuration.
- Sum Lots - Lot size can be calculated from the accumulated position sequence.
- Fixed Grid Lots - Additional grid positions can use fixed lots.
- Configurable Grid Step - Grid distance can be adjusted in pips.
- Maximum Lot - Position size can be capped at a defined maximum.
This lets traders choose between conservative gradual sizing and more aggressive configurations depending on their own risk preference.
Grid and Recovery Management
Grid management is one of the main components of the MATrader AI v4 cycle-management system.
If XAUUSD moves against an active position, MATrader AI v4 can add positions according to the configured grid distance and money-management rules.
The positions can then be managed together as one basket. Entries at different prices change the average position price and allow the MATrader AI v4 recovery system to use normal XAUUSD retracements while managing the cycle.
Grid trading can also be disabled if you prefer individual positions rather than multi-position cycles.
Dual-Side Grid and Hedge Controls
MATrader AI v4 also includes advanced controls for traders who intentionally want more complex position structures.
- Dual-Side Grid - BUY and SELL grid structures can be enabled according to the selected configuration.
- Single-Direction Trading - MATrader AI v4 can also work with only one active direction.
- Hedge Mode - Hedging can be activated after a selected grid or position level.
- Configurable Hedge Level - Determines when hedge logic becomes active.
These are advanced options and do not need to be used simply because they are available.
Profit and Trade Management
- Custom Take Profit - Configurable Take Profit distance in pips.
- Minimal Profit Close - Larger trading cycles can close when the configured combined-profit condition is reached.
- Trailing Stop - Protects profit while XAUUSD continues in the trade direction.
- Break Even - Protects positions after a defined favorable movement.
- Daily Target - Trading can stop after a configured daily target is reached.
- Trade Frequency Filter - Limits how frequently new positions can be opened.
- FilterOpenOneCandle - Can restrict new entries to one trade per selected candle or period.
- Close All Orders - Managed orders can be closed directly from the MATrader AI v4 trading panel.
Risk Management
XAUUSD can move quickly and grid/cycle systems can build significant exposure. MATrader AI v4 therefore includes account-level risk-management controls.
- TakeEquityStop - Can close managed trades when a defined account-currency loss is reached.
- EquityProtect - Can limit risk according to a percentage of account equity.
- Stop Additional Trading - MATrader AI v4 can stop opening additional positions when the configured protection threshold is reached.
- Optional Close All - Protection can be configured to close the complete position structure.
- Maximum Lot - Prevents positions from exceeding the configured maximum lot size.
- Grid Controls - Position progression can be controlled through lot mode and grid distance.
Trading Filters
- News Filter - Can pause trading around selected economic events.
- Day Filter - Limits trading to selected weekdays.
- Time Filter - Defines active trading hours.
- Trade Frequency Filter - Restricts how frequently new positions can be opened.
Trading Panel
MATrader AI v4 includes an on-chart trading panel so important information and controls remain directly available while the EA is running.
Depending on the active configuration, the MATrader AI v4 panel can provide information and controls for:
- Open positions
- Trading direction
- Grid activity
- Current cycle
- Profit and loss
- Trading status
- Manual trading
- Close All Orders
Why the Broker Matters
An Expert Advisor does not trade one universal XAUUSD price. It trades the Bid and Ask prices, spread and execution conditions delivered to MetaTrader by the broker.
Different brokers can use different liquidity providers, price aggregation, server infrastructure and execution models. As a result, two brokers showing XAUUSD at the same time can still produce slightly different trading conditions.
These differences can include:
- Liquidity providers - Brokers can receive executable XAUUSD prices from different sources.
- Liquidity aggregation - Bid and Ask prices can be constructed differently.
- Spread - XAUUSD spread conditions can differ between brokers.
- Tick timing - Price updates can arrive at slightly different times.
- Execution price - Available fills can change between decision and execution.
- Slippage - Different liquidity and execution infrastructure can produce different fills.
- Latency - Broker servers, VPS location and network routing affect execution timing.
- Short price movements - One broker can reach a grid or entry level another broker misses by a very small amount.
- Trading costs - Spread and other costs affect the effective result of each trading cycle.
- Swap - Overnight financing conditions can differ.
- Contract specifications - Minimum lot, lot step and other specifications can vary.
Why This Matters for MATrader AI v4
This becomes especially important when a MATrader AI v4 grid or recovery cycle is active.
If RoboForex reaches the next grid level and opens another position while another broker misses that level by only a few points, the accounts immediately contain different position structures.
Average entry price, later grid levels, Break Even, Take Profit and cycle timing can then differ. That is why identical MATrader AI v4 settings do not necessarily reproduce identical trades on every broker.
If you want to stay as close as possible to our reference environment, using the same RoboForex ProCent environment is the most logical setup.
Why We Use and Recommend RoboForex
MATrader AI v4 was optimized and tested around RoboForex ProCent conditions, but our reason for using RoboForex is not only technical.
During more than 15 years of trading, we have tested many brokers, and RoboForex is the broker we personally trust most. We have never personally experienced withdrawal problems, unexplained account restrictions or similar issues, and our community has not reported problems of that kind to us either.
That long experience is why RoboForex is our reference broker for MATrader AI v4 and why we are comfortable recommending it to traders using our systems.
Why RoboForex ProCent Works So Well with MATrader AI v4
The ProCent account provides extremely small effective position sizes, which is particularly useful for cycle and grid systems.
Instead of forcing large jumps in exposure, MATrader AI v4 can use very small position increments and build a trading cycle gradually.
This gives much finer control over money management, especially on smaller accounts.
Why We Use KXTL
If you are opening RoboForex ProCent for MATrader AI v4 anyway, our advice is simple: use partner code KXTL.
KXTL is our Marc Albrecht Trading community setup. Registering through KXTL makes you a KXTL member and provides the additional KXTL account conditions and community benefits.
If you are already going to use the same broker and account type, there is little reason to leave those additional benefits unused.
Exclusive 0.01 ProCent Lot Size with KXTL
This is especially useful for MATrader AI v4.
The normal RoboForex MT4 ProCent minimum order size is 0.10 ProCent lots. KXTL members can trade from 0.01 ProCent lots.
That is approximately equivalent to 0.0001 lots of standard-account exposure.
KXTL is the only RoboForex partner setup that provides this 0.01 ProCent minimum order size.
This gives MATrader AI v4 ten times finer control over its smallest effective position than the normal ProCent minimum, which is very useful for gradual XAUUSD grid and recovery sizing.
Lower Trading Costs with KXTL
KXTL members also receive reduced trading-cost conditions.
Because MATrader AI v4 can execute several positions within one cycle, even relatively small differences in trading cost can accumulate over a large number of trades.
If you are using RoboForex anyway, we prefer the KXTL conditions rather than using the same broker without the additional benefits.
Free VPS for KXTL Members
All KXTL members receive access to a free VPS, allowing MATrader AI v4 to remain online continuously without requiring your home computer to run 24/7.
- Continuous operation - MATrader AI v4 can remain active around the clock.
- Stable MetaTrader environment - Automated trading does not depend on your personal computer.
- Less dependence on home internet - Local connection interruptions do not stop the VPS.
- Remote access - Access your MetaTrader environment whenever needed.
- Dedicated EA environment - Keep the VPS focused on MetaTrader and automated systems.
Free Expert Advisors for KXTL Members
KXTL members also receive multiple Marc Albrecht Trading Expert Advisors at no additional cost, including systems that are otherwise offered separately.
Instead of purchasing every MAT strategy individually, members can access multiple systems through the community.
We continue developing additional EAs, updates, reference configurations, tools and community resources.
KXTL Community Benefits
- Exclusive 0.01 ProCent minimum order size - Instead of the normal 0.10 MT4 ProCent minimum.
- Approximately 0.0001 standard-account lot exposure - Gives much finer position-sizing control.
- Reduced trading costs - KXTL members receive KXTL trading conditions.
- Free VPS - For continuous MetaTrader and EA operation.
- Additional MAT Expert Advisors at no additional cost - Including other systems from the MAT ecosystem.
- Multiple MAT strategies - Systems developed for different symbols and approaches.
- EA updates - Access to supported community updates.
- New MAT systems - Additional EAs and tools as we develop them.
- Reference configurations - Setups used throughout the MAT ecosystem.
- Community resources - Additional tools, information and support.
Why Use KXTL If You Are Opening RoboForex Anyway?
Pretty simple: if you are already going to use RoboForex ProCent for MATrader AI v4, use KXTL.
You receive the same broker and account environment we use, plus the 0.01 ProCent minimum, reduced trading costs, free VPS and access to additional MAT Expert Advisors.
Without KXTL, the normal MT4 ProCent minimum remains 0.10 ProCent lots and the additional KXTL community benefits are not included.
For MATrader AI v4, KXTL is simply the setup we would choose ourselves.
KXTL Also Supports Our Development
KXTL also helps us continue developing MATrader AI v4 and the complete MAT ecosystem.
RoboForex pays us a partner commission for referred traders, and we reinvest this into development, testing, infrastructure, Expert Advisors and community tools.
For us, this is a real win-win: you receive the KXTL account conditions, smaller 0.01 ProCent sizing, reduced trading costs, free VPS and access to additional MAT systems, while the partnership helps finance continued development and more free tools for the community.
The better our community does, the better this model works for everyone. It allows us to keep investing in MATrader AI v4 and make multiple MAT systems available to KXTL members without charging separately for every EA.
Recommended Reference Configuration
- EA: MATrader AI v4
- Symbol: XAUUSD
- Timeframe: M1
- Broker: RoboForex
- Account type: ProCent
- Partner code: KXTL
- KXTL minimum order size: 0.01 ProCent lots
- Approximate standard-account equivalent: 0.0001 lots
- Reference leverage: 1:2000
- Trading mode: Automatic by default
- Grid: Configurable
- EA settings: Default reference settings unless you intentionally want to customize the strategy
- Connection: Stable MetaTrader environment or free KXTL VPS
Recommended Account Size
RoboForex ProCent: Approximately EUR/USD 200 or more for the reference Cent-account setup.
Standard account: Approximately EUR/USD 20,000 or more for comparable effective exposure, because the contract and position-sizing structure is substantially different.
These are reference sizes for the standard configuration, not guarantees against drawdown. Increasing lot size, grid progression or recovery exposure also increases risk.
How to Start
1. Install MATrader AI v4 through MQL5 Market.
2. For our reference environment, use RoboForex ProCent. If you want the KXTL account conditions and community benefits, use partner code KXTL.
3. Make sure XAUUSD is available in Market Watch.
4. Attach MATrader AI v4 to XAUUSD M1.
5. Enable automated trading.
6. MATrader AI v4 is designed to work directly with its reference settings, so you do not need to modify dozens of parameters before starting.
7. Once you understand the strategy, you can intentionally customize lot sizing, grid behavior, hedge settings, filters, profit management and risk protection.
If Something Is Wrong, Please Talk to Us First
If you encounter a problem with MATrader AI v4, please contact us before leaving a negative review or assuming that the EA does not work.
We know how MATrader AI v4 should behave when it is configured correctly. We have spent years developing and testing the MATrader ecosystem, and if your account behaves completely differently from our reference environment, there is usually a reason.
This is where many traders have an important "aha" moment: the EA itself is only one part of an automated trading setup.
The broker, account type, XAUUSD contract specifications, minimum lot size, spread, MetaTrader settings, EA parameters, VPS and internet connection can all influence how MATrader AI v4 behaves.
Something as simple as using a different account type, different contract specifications or an incorrectly configured VPS can make a working EA appear as if something is wrong.
So if something does not look right, please contact us. Tell us what you are seeing and we will gladly help check the broker, account, MetaTrader, VPS and MATrader AI v4 settings.
Our goal is not simply to give you an EA and disappear.
We want people using our systems to have the best possible setup, understand how MATrader AI v4 behaves and receive help when something is not working as expected.
If there is a problem with MATrader AI v4, RoboForex, KXTL, XAUUSD, lot sizing, MetaTrader or the VPS, message us first. Very often what initially looks like an EA problem turns out to be one small setup detail that can be corrected quickly.
Important Risk Information
MATrader AI v4 can use grid, cycle and recovery logic. These strategies can hold several positions at the same time and can experience significant floating drawdown during extended adverse market movement.
More aggressive lot sizing, tighter grids, Martingale progression, hedge configurations or deeper recovery settings can increase return potential, but they also increase exposure and drawdown risk.
Use position sizes appropriate for your account and risk tolerance. Historical or monitored trading results do not guarantee future performance.
Free Because We Want Traders to Actually Use It
MATrader AI v4 is completely free on MQL5, but that does not mean it is a small side project.
MATrader AI v4 is part of the same MATrader ecosystem we have spent years developing and improving.
We prefer allowing traders to actually use our systems, see how we work and become part of the community rather than placing a separate price on every tool.
KXTL helps make this model possible. The broker partnership supports continued development while KXTL members receive additional EAs, VPS infrastructure, account benefits and community tools without purchasing every component separately.
Final Information
MATrader AI v4 is the legacy version 4 of MATrader, kept available for traders who want to continue using the original v4 behavior.
It is built for XAUUSD M1 and combines neural entry logic, higher-timeframe trend alignment, automatic and manual workflows, configurable grid and hedge controls, profit management and account-level risk protection.
After more than 15 years with many brokers, RoboForex is the broker we personally trust most. If you are opening RoboForex ProCent for MATrader AI v4 anyway, use KXTL for the 0.01 ProCent minimum, reduced trading costs, free VPS and additional MAT EAs while supporting continued development.
If MATrader AI v4 has been useful to you, we appreciate an honest review on MQL5. If something is not working as expected, contact us first so we can help check the broker, account, MetaTrader, VPS and EA settings.
