The latest AI-built creation in capital efficiency
Apex Protocol is a program that buys and sells gold in your broker account on its own, following clear rules. Compatible with MetaTrader 5 (MT5). Built with the most up-to-date AI models — Opus 5.5 (Claude, by Anthropic) and GPT 6 Astra (OpenAI) — and constantly updated. You follow everything on a simple panel on your chart.

Investing involves risk: you can lose money. No robot guarantees profit.
How it works
Think of an autopilot that follows a checklist of rules — it never gets tired and never gets carried away.
It follows the price of gold all the time and looks for moments that match its rules.
It only enters when two indicators (on different timeframes) agree, and only at set times. If they don't agree, the robot does nothing.
The robot treats each strategy's orders as a group and closes everything when the price moves a small profit above the average price. The account stop loss of 44% stays on all the time. On Friday night, it closes everything before the weekend.
Transparency
We simulated Apex Protocol v3.0 with real gold price data, from 2024 until today, already charging on every trade the slippage of $0.15 per ounce, the value we measured on real orders at Exness, the broker commission and a 150 ms delay. It is a realistic cost scenario, not an optimistic one.

For every $1 lost, the robot gained $3.60.

Simulated balance, 2024 to Sep 2026 (costs included)
2,178 simulated trades. Hover (or drag) over the line to see the balance on any date.
Simulation in the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester, gold (XAUUSD), Exness Zero account, from 01/01/2024 to 09/30/2026, $2,000 starting deposit, real past price data, without the news filter. Costs included on every trade: slippage of $0.15 per ounce, the Zero account spread and commission, and a 150 ms delay.
Safety
These protections are part of the robot. Some come turned on; others you choose to turn on. Each card says which is which.
Stop loss
A trade's exit point. It limits how much the trade can lose. Apex Protocol has an account stop loss of 44%, on from day one.
Choose the risk level for the automatic lot size (7 levels) or use a fixed lot.
The robot only buys and sells in your account. It has no way to withdraw or transfer money, and you can take it off the chart at any time.
On Friday night, the robot stops opening orders and closes the ones that are open, so nothing stays open over the weekend.
The robot confirms your account's license with our server every few minutes. Without a valid license, it does not open new orders; orders that are already open keep being managed and closed by the rules.
The robot does not open new orders if the spread goes above $1.00 or if the account's margin level drops below 300%.
Pauses new orders 30 minutes before and after important US dollar news. The results published here were simulated without this filter; in tests, it changed the result by about 1%.
On-chart panel
A discreet text on your MetaTrader chart shows whether the robot is active, how many orders are open, the open result, your balance and your equity. No spreadsheets and no extra program.

Simple words
You don't need to know about investing to understand Apex Protocol. Here is the essential.
Pricing
You only pay when you gain.
| Month result | You pay (20%) | |
|---|---|---|
| Month 1 | +$1,000 | $200 |
| Month 2 | −$500 | $0 |
| Month 3 | +$800 | $60 |
In month 2 you lost, so you paid nothing. In month 3, the gain first recovers the loss: only the $300 above your previous best point counts. 20% of $300 = $60.

Getting started
In the pilot, setup is assisted: we walk you through every step.
At a broker with MetaTrader 5 and gold (XAUUSD). Apex Protocol was tested on an Exness account. A demo account uses pretend money, so it's risk-free.
Our referral link: costs you nothing extra, and helps keep the pilot running.
The robot only works while MetaTrader is open. Most people rent a VPS (a computer on the internet) for this.
In the pilot, we install the robot with you, step by step, and confirm everything is working.
The on-chart text shows the robot's status, open orders, open result, balance and equity, all in one place.
Frequently asked questions
No. No robot or person can guarantee profit. You may gain, but you can also lose. The robot is programmed to close everything when the loss reaches 44% of the account balance.
Just fill in your contact details in the “Request pilot access” form at the end of this page. We will reply to you.
The minimum deposit is $200, with leverage of at least 1:500, on an Exness Pro account. It is the account with the lowest fees, and the one that works most efficiently with the Apex Protocol strategy. The maximum we indicate is up to $200,000: above that, we estimate performance to drop by more than 50%, because of the lot sizes and the orders in the order book.
With the modern AI and the latest models (Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT 6 Astra), we were able to build Apex Protocol very quickly, and there has not yet been time to build a live-account track record. So we put all the effort into the simulation: the test uses real past gold price data, from 2024 until today, with realistic costs: slippage measured on real orders at Exness, the broker commission and a 150 ms delay. So, for now, we have only simulation (backtest). There has not been time yet to follow the robot on a live account for the minimum of 6 to 12 months, which we consider reasonable to validate the strategy. That is our next step.
Yes. You can rerun the historical test on your own, at the broker of your choice, using the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester. The result changes with each broker's costs (spread, commission and slippage). That is why we strongly recommend Exness: it is where we tested, it is a well-known broker, with very low spreads and low slippage. Our referral link is in “Getting started”.
No. Around $100,000 to $150,000, the lot sizes get bigger and slippage increases, because large orders move the price against the robot. So our forecast is that, for every extra $50,000 to $100,000 in the account, the pace of profit will drop considerably. The test uses a fixed slippage and does not fully show this effect.
Exness is a large international broker. Entities of the group are regulated by authorities such as the FCA (UK) and CySEC (Cyprus), seen as top-tier, and also by the FSCA (South Africa). On Trustpilot, the score is 4.7 out of 5, with more than 33,000 reviews (as of September 2026; the score changes, so check the current one). It is where we tested Apex Protocol, with low spreads and low slippage. Your money stays in your account at the broker, not with us. The entity that serves you depends on the country you live in, so check its regulation on the Exness website. No broker removes market risk.
You don't need to be an expert, but you do need to understand the basics of risk. That's why we recommend starting on a demo account and reading the “Simple words” section.
Your money stays in your account, at your broker. The robot only buys and sells: it has no way to withdraw or transfer money.
It's a practice account with pretend money. You use the real robot, but risk nothing. We recommend starting with it.
MetaTrader must stay open and connected for the robot to work. That's why most people use a VPS, a computer on the internet that stays on all the time.
Brokers that offer MetaTrader 5, gold (XAUUSD) and hedging accounts. The tests use the costs of the Exness Zero account. At other brokers, costs may differ and change the result a lot.
Every few minutes the robot confirms the license with our server and sends the balance, equity, open result and the month's result of the account it runs on. These numbers are used to follow the robot and to calculate the 20% fee on new profit. It does not send passwords or personal data, and it has no way to withdraw or transfer money. You can turn the sending off in the robot's settings; in that case the monthly settlement depends on numbers you send us.
Yes. You can take the robot off the chart at any time. Trades that are already open stay in your account, and you can close them whenever you want.
If the price keeps going against it, the account stop loss of 44% closes everything to protect your balance.
We don't use that term as a promise. Apex Protocol follows fixed, known rules. Nothing in it learns and changes the rules on its own.
In the pilot there is no upfront cost. You pay 20% of new profit only, once a month. See the “Pricing” section for a simple example.
