We could not find details of the company like its founding year, the location, phone number, and more. We can see the domain copyright is from 2016 to 2021. The lack of vendor transparency makes us suspect the reliability of this vendor.
Our review analyses the features, trading approach, and performance among other factors to verify the claims of the vendor. As with all other FX robots from Happy Forex, this EA also provides very minimal info on the developer or the team behind the product. The lack of info raises a red flag.
What is behind the Happy Gold EA?
As per the vendor info, this FX robot uses 99.9% optimization in the MetaTrader platform to improve stability and increase profits. Only one trade is open at a time and the EA uses hard SL of -24 pips while the TP levels are dynamic and change depending on the market condition. The vendor recommends using a spread of 20 pips as the maximum limit along with a low slippage broker like the Market maker or ECN.
Key features
Features and requirements of Happy Gold EA
Important features found in this FX EA include an easy setup process, ECN broker support, and 100% automation. It works on the MT4 and MT5 platforms and does not use the Martingale, Grid, and Hedging approaches which are dangerous strategies that can blow up accounts easily.
A minimum deposit of $100 is recommended by the vendor. This ATS is designed to work best on the XAUUSD pair using the timeframes of M15, M30, H1, and H4. An ECN account type works well for this system, as per the vendor.
Trading strategy
The swing, grid news, and scalp approaches are used for this EA in combination with the ZigZag indicator. With the indicator, the FX EA tracks and links all the extreme points found in the chart. From the measured distance between the points, an equal or higher percentage fixed for the price scale is found. The explanation for the strategy is vague and does not provide a better insight into the approach.
