👻 Ghost Scalper MT5 2.9 — NO DLL | Four Independent Strategies for XAUUSD Breakouts

Selective breakout and momentum trading. Ghost waits for its conditions and does not trade constantly.

Ghost Scalper MT5 is a fully automated Expert Advisor for XAUUSD / Gold on MetaTrader 5, developed by Thomas Christoph Lipka (Germany). It was built for selective breakout and momentum movements, combining four independent strategies that each wait for their own market conditions.

📊 Four Public Live Signals — Four Different Brokers

Ghost is tracked on real live accounts across multiple brokers, which lets you compare execution directly:

• 🟢 TMGM
• 🟢 VT Markets
• 🟢 Vantage
• 🟢 Future Lab Ultima

🎯 Four Independent Strategies

Ghost A · Ghost B · Ghost C · Ghost D

Each has its own entries, parameters and separate money management. For each strategy you can individually set:

• ON / OFF
• BUY & SELL · ONLY BUY · ONLY SELL
• its own trailing profile
• its own money management
• its own risk or lot size

Because several strategies can trade simultaneously, always size for their combined total risk.

📉 Three Trailing Profiles

Old Trail — classic Ghost trailing with established fixed parameters

Dynamic Fast Trail — the 4.0 default, optimized for faster trade management, combined with internal Auto Offset V1

Dynamic Wide Trail — larger trailing distances, giving an ongoing move more room, with fixed entry offsets

A profile can be selected separately for each strategy to suit your broker, VPS and setup.

⚙️ Auto Offset V1

Analyzes only closed Ghost trades, comparing recent performance against a larger historical sample. BUY and SELL are evaluated separately. If short-term trade quality shifts relative to the larger sample, the entry offset adjusts within predefined limits.

• Only closed Ghost trades are used
• BUY and SELL analyzed separately
• Adjustments are capped
• No future data is used
• Works exclusively with Dynamic Fast

🛡️ Hybrid Trailing & Protection

Ghost first tries to update the visible Stop Loss directly with the broker. If the broker temporarily rejects the adjustment — stop levels, freeze levels, invalid distances, fast markets — the existing broker-side SL remains, and Ghost activates the new protection level internally as a virtual fallback.

If price reaches that virtual level, Ghost closes via market order while continuing to place the real SL on subsequent ticks. An activated fallback persists across MT5, EA and VPS restarts.

📰 News Filter & Risk Modes

Monitors FOMC, Fed Press Conference, CPI/Core CPI, NFP, Unemployment Rate, Average Hourly Earnings, PCE/Core PCE. Optional: PPI, GDP, Retail Sales, ISM Manufacturing, ISM Services.

Default block: 30 minutes before and after selected events.

News Week Risk Mode: OFF · REDUCE 25% · REDUCE 50%

⚠️ Requires WebRequest permission: Tools → Options → Expert Advisors → Allow WebRequest, then add the news URL specified in the EA.

📡 Broker & VPS Quality Monitoring

Ghost measures more than ping. It tracks actual execution time, broker rejections, spread, slippage (average, last, worst), slippage costs and fill information — calculating its own Broker Quality rating.

VPS Quality is evaluated separately (connection, latency, status), so you can distinguish broker execution problems from connectivity problems.

🔬 Live Optimizer

Analyzes up to 30 recent closed trades per strategy and direction, displaying ENTRY Δ, TRAIL START, TRAIL DISTANCE, TRAIL STEP and sample counts. Ghost A BUY, Ghost A SELL, Ghost B BUY etc. are evaluated separately.

This is an analysis tool only — it does not change parameters automatically.

⚙️ Setup

Ghost may go extended periods without a trade. Each strategy waits for its own conditions. Wait for the setup — do not force trades.

⚠️ Risk Notice

Trading forex and CFDs on margin involves a high level of risk and is not suitable for every investor. Past results, including backtests and live signals, are not a reliable indicator of future results. Ghost Scalper MT5 does not guarantee profits. Market conditions, broker execution, spread, slippage, liquidity and technical failures all affect actual results. The user is responsible for selected settings, lot size and total risk.
