Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions

Getting started

What's the minimum deposit required? +
$50, or $5 with a cent account. We doubled a $50 account in 5 days to prove it. The EA scales position sizes automatically, so it works on both small and large accounts.
What do I receive after paying? +
Your download includes:

DowGold Pro EA: the full Expert Advisor for MT4 and MT5
Libraries (DLL): communicates with our cloud servers and receives real-time market data
Setup guide (PDF): step-by-step installation instructions
Member Zone access: your private dashboard with live P&L insights across your accounts
All future updates: every new DowGold release for as long as your plan's cover allows

No complicated configuration needed. Choose your mode, attach to chart, and go. Everything you need to start trading in under 10 minutes.
Is there a free trial? +
No live trial. We don't risk the strategy being copied or abused. What we do offer is a free backtest-only version so you can run the strategy in the MT5 Strategy Tester on your own data, plus verified live performance history so you can see exactly how it performs before buying.
Does the EA connect to your servers? +
Yes, and that's a key advantage.

DowGold receives real-time market intelligence from our cloud, including volatility data, momentum signals, and conditions analysis. It adapts on the fly without you touching a thing.

When we improve the strategy, every connected EA benefits immediately. Your license is also managed through the cloud via the member zone.
Do I need a VPS? +
Recommended but not required. A Windows VPS keeps your EA running 24/5 so it never misses a trade, even when your computer is off. Most traders use one and they start from around $10/month.
Is this for MT4 or MT5? +
Both. One license covers MT4 and MT5. Choose whichever platform you prefer, or run a mix of the two.

Your license key works on both platforms, and your account slots are the only limit: however you split them between MT4 and MT5, you can run as many accounts at once as your tier allows.

Results and risk

What trading modes are available? +
Four modes included:

Flipping: Maximum growth, built to flip small accounts fast
Aggressive: Fast growth with adaptive scaling, more controlled than Flipping
Balanced: Strong growth with controlled risk, designed to compound over weeks and months
Prop Firm: Ultra-safe settings built to pass challenges and stay funded long-term

Choose based on your risk tolerance and goals. Same EA, different risk levels.
Can this EA really double my account? +
Yes. Our verified signal did +315% in a single day with 0% drawdown, taking $1K to $4.1K. Results vary with market conditions and broker, but this EA is built for fast, aggressive growth.
How does the strategy actually work? +
Happy to explain. Here's what it actually does.

DowGold isn't one strategy, it's a whole library of them running in one engine: breakouts, price momentum, volatility and mean-reversion setups on Gold and US30, plus an optional Silver strategy you can switch on. The cloud decides which lead and which sit back depending on what the market is actually doing, and because the logic lives on our servers rather than baked into static code, we can pull a strategy that's stopped performing or add a new one at any time, with every connected EA picking up the change on the fly. That's the whole point of a cloud system: it adapts in real time, which matters more than ever when a single headline can turn the market in an instant.

Risk is handled differently on each market, deliberately:

Gold (XAUUSD): in the standard system, every trade is a single order with its own exit. No grid, no martingale, no recovery stacking. Gold moves too hard and too fast to average into losses safely, so a losing trade is simply closed and taken. (The optional Turbo stream, off by default, is the one exception — see below.)
US30: uses layered entries, but only into a trend that is already in profit. It presses winners. It never adds orders to rescue a losing position.
Silver (XAGUSD): a much more aggressive strategy that uses controlled grid recovery — order sizes can scale at extremes, always capped, never blind doubling. More profit potential and more risk, which is exactly why Silver is switched off by default and only trades if you deliberately enable it.

On top of that, positions sit behind one hard maximum loss, so the downside is capped, not open-ended. Want more control? Set your own custom drawdown guard right inside the EA, a daily or overall maximum percentage. Prop-firm traders lean on it to stay inside challenge limits, but you can use it on a personal account just as easily.

What we don't hand over is the exact parameters and code. That's the part competitors would clone and brokers would filter against, and protecting it is how we protect your returns. But you don't have to take the description on faith: it's all running on real money, independently verified on MyFXBook, right now. The track record is the proof.
What is Turbo Mode? +
Turbo Mode is an optional second stream of trades that runs alongside the standard system, on Gold only. It is completely optional and switched off by default: until you enable it, nothing about the EA changes.

Enable it and you get an additional stream of higher-frequency Gold trades. Depending on the risk mode you pair it with, Turbo can target in the region of 30–50% per month — but drawdown can exceed 30%. It is not for the faint of heart.

The Turbo strategy uses controlled grid recovery — never martingale. It exists for traders who want more trades, more risk and more profit potential. For most traders who just want a set-and-forget strategy, our advice is simple: leave it off. Full details are in the user guide.
Are the results verified? +
Yes. All results are from fully verified live accounts on MyFXBook. No demo tricks, no fake stats. You can independently verify everything yourself at myfxbook.com/members/DowGoldHS.
Why do some live signals suddenly stop? +
Once an account doubles, we withdraw profits and start fresh, which is exactly what we advise customers to do. Take profits off the table, then repeat. Our core account has tracked publicly on MyFXBook since 2022, so the full history is always there to check.
Can I subscribe to or copy DowGold signals?

No. Our public MyFXBook accounts receive repeated requests to subscribe or copy the trades, but Premium signal access remains disabled. DowGold trade decisions are reserved for licensed customers and delivered directly to their MT4 or MT5 through the DowGold EA.

Licensing and support

Do I get updates and support? +
Core, Complete and Professional include 12 months of downloadable EA updates and plan-tier support. Optional manual annual coverage is available after that; Ultimate VIP includes lifetime updates and VIP Priority Support.
Can I switch my license to a different account? +
Yes. Just update your authorised account numbers in the member zone whenever you want. No need to contact us. It works on any computer. The higher your tier, the more trading accounts you can run simultaneously.
How do I get access to the VIP Telegram group? +
The private VIP Telegram community is included with the 6-account Ultimate VIP plan, together with lifetime downloadable EA updates and VIP Priority Support. It is not included with Core, Complete or Professional. Those plans can be upgraded to Ultimate VIP.
Why don't you sell DowGold on MQL5? +
DowGold relies on a cloud-connected licensing system and real-time server infrastructure that the MQL5 marketplace simply isn't built to support. Our EA communicates with our own servers to receive live market intelligence, manage licenses, and push strategy updates. None of this is possible through MQL5's distribution model.

There's also a security concern. Listing on MQL5 would expose the compiled EA to a much wider attack surface, increasing the risk of decompilation or reverse engineering. We've invested years into this system and we're not prepared to compromise it for marketplace visibility.

That's why DowGold is only available directly from dowgoldea.com or through our authorised reseller CheaperForex. This will never change.
Is DowGold now a subscription?

No. Core, Complete and Professional are one-time license purchases. They include 12 months of EA updates and plan-tier support. Continuing that coverage is optional, renewed manually and never charged automatically. Annual coverage is currently $99 for Core, $149 for Complete and $199 for Professional; the current price is shown before renewal. If you do not renew, your license and live trading continue on the last included EA build, while future downloads and plan-tier support pause. Ultimate VIP includes lifetime updates and VIP Priority Support with no annual fee. Renewal helps fund DowGold's infrastructure, testing, security and development.

Which support level comes with each plan?

While update-and-support coverage is active, Core includes Basic Product Support, Complete includes Priority Product Support and Professional includes Enhanced Priority Product Support. Ultimate VIP includes lifetime VIP Priority Support. Every purchase also includes one initial setup assistance.

Brokers and platforms

Is this compatible with U.S. brokers? +
Yes, DowGold is compatible with U.S. brokers.
What brokers work best? +
It works on all brokers, but performs best with an A-book broker, one that isn't trading against you. BlackBull, IC Markets, FXCC, AfterPrime, FP Markets, and VT Markets are all good choices.
Does it work on prop firms? +
Yes! Loads of our clients are profitable on prop firms. We share recommendations on which firms work best in the VIP community.
