What results can I realistically expect with Aura Black Edition?+

The 90% quality backtest (2010–2021) establishes a 1.40 profit factor on XAUUSD D1 with 31.31% peak drawdown from a $500 deposit. A shorter 2020–2021 window shows a 2.67 profit factor and 8.14% drawdown under trending gold conditions. Live independent verification is not available — these are Strategy Tester results. Demo run for 60+ days establishes realistic expectations for your broker's execution environment before committing capital.

Does Aura Black Edition use martingale or grid trading?+

No martingale, no grid, no lot averaging. Position sizing uses fixed auto-lot at 0.01 per $500 balance (Percent: 0.01). A 'recovery mode' parameter exists in the code but is disabled by default and should remain off for conservative operation. Every trade carries a hard 300-pip Stop Loss—the EA cannot hold unlimited losing positions. Source code access lets you confirm this directly before deployment.

Is Aura Black Edition compatible with FTMO and prop firm challenges?+

Prop firm compatibility requires specific configuration. Set MaxCountOrders to 1, enable Friday: true with FrHour: 23 to close before weekend, and size lots conservatively at 0.01 per $500. The MaxSpread: 200 filter prevents entries during spread spikes that could trigger daily loss limits. Disable Opposite Deals on netting accounts—most prop firms use netting. The 8.14% peak DD in the 2020–2021 test is within standard challenge thresholds, but live conditions may differ.

Does Aura Black Edition require DLL or disabling antivirus?+

No DLL required. This package delivers the full .mq4 source code, which you compile directly inside MetaEditor (built into MT4). Compiled .ex4 files generated from your own source carry no third-party DLL dependency. Disabling antivirus is not required or recommended. The source code is fully readable—audit every function before compiling to verify safety independently.

How much capital do I need to run Aura Black Edition?+

Minimum tested deposit is $500 (backtest starting capital). At $500, auto-lot sizing runs at 0.01 lots—the 31.31% peak drawdown represents a ~$156 maximum equity decline at this size. A $1,000 deposit provides meaningfully better DD tolerance and allows MaxCountOrders: 2 without proportionally higher account risk. Undercapitalization below $500 amplifies drawdown percentages and increases stop-out risk during gold volatility spikes.

What are the main risks and how does Aura Black Edition handle them?+

The 31.31% peak drawdown in the full 2010–2021 backtest occurs when all three simultaneous positions (MaxCountOrders: 3) face adverse D1 moves with Opposite Deals active—compounding exposure on both sides of the market. Control by capping MaxCountOrders to 1–2, disabling Opposite Deals on netting accounts, and setting MaxSpread to 200 pips maximum to block high-slippage entries during gold news events. Conservative configuration (single position, auto-lot at 0.01/$500) maps to the 8–15% DD range in favorable periods. Drawdown figures are backtest-derived—verify independently via 60+ day demo before live capital commitment.

Which brokers and account types work best with Aura Black Edition?+

ECN brokers with raw spreads on XAUUSD are required for optimal execution. The built-in MaxSpread: 200 filter (in pips × 10 for 5-digit brokers) blocks entries when gold spreads widen—effective against news spike exposure. Minimum leverage: 1:20. Account type: hedging accounts mandatory if Opposite Deals (true by default) remains enabled; on netting accounts, set Opposite: false before running. Avoid market-maker brokers with variable spreads exceeding 20 pips during London/NY session overlaps.
