⚠️
This is not a get-rich-quick scheme.

Gold Strat is an algorithmic trading signal. Trading Gold (XAUUSD) involves significant financial risk. You can lose some or all of your deposited funds. Only trade with money you can afford to lose. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Please read the full disclaimer before proceeding.

Simple, automated, transparent.

I trade Gold on my own XM account using an algorithmic strategy called Gold Strat. My live trades are published as a signal on MQL5 — MetaTrader 5’s built-in copy trading system. When you subscribe, every trade I execute is automatically copied to your account in proportion to your balance. You never need to watch a chart, make a decision, or take any action. Your account simply follows mine, 24 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Your funds stay with XM at all times. Vortex does not manage your account, hold your password, or have any access to your funds. You are copying a live signal independently — XM holds your money, not us.

What you actually pay — and what you get back.

There are two platform fees charged by MQL5 / MetaTrader — not by Vortex. Our service is completely free. Here is exactly what you pay and what gets refunded when you sign up through our XM referral link.

Item Charged by Amount Rebated?
MQL5 Signal Subscription (Gold Strat) MQL5 / MetaTrader $30 / month ✓ Yes — via XM rebate
MQL5 Virtual Server (VPS) — required for 24/7 copying MQL5 / MetaTrader $15 / month ✓ Yes — via XM rebate
Vortex Gold Strat service fee Vortex $0 — Free
Your net monthly cost after rebate $0 — Fully covered by XM rebate
How the rebate works: When you open your XM account through our referral link, XM pays us a small volume commission on your trades. We pass a portion of that commission back to you as a cash rebate into your XM trading account every month — enough to fully cover the $45 in MQL5 platform fees. The rebate is paid by XM, not deducted from your account.
⚠️ Important: The $45/month rebate is only available if you open your XM account using our referral link. If you already have an XM account or open one without our link, you will not qualify for the rebate and the full $45/month MQL5 platform fee will be entirely out of your own pocket.

Get set up in under 30 minutes.

Follow these steps in order. Read each step fully before clicking anything. If you skip a step or do things out of sequence, copy trading will not activate correctly.

1
Open your XM account using our referral link

You must use our referral link to open your XM account. This is what links your account to Vortex and activates your monthly rebate. If you open an XM account directly without our link, the rebate will not apply and you will pay $45/month out of pocket.

👉 Click here to open your XM account via Vortex

Account type: When XM asks which account type you want, select Ultra Low Micro. This is the correct account type for our signal. Do not select Standard, Zero, or any other type.

Recommended minimum deposit: $40 USD (approximately R730). This is your own trading capital held securely by XM — it is used purely for trading. You may deposit more if you wish, but $40 is the recommended starting point for copying at 0.10 lots.

Complete XM’s identity verification — you will need a copy of your ID and proof of address. This usually takes a few hours to approve.

2
Download and install MetaTrader 5 (MT5) on your PC or laptop

MetaTrader 5 is the trading platform used by XM. You must use the desktop (PC or laptop) version to complete the signal subscription setup. Mobile can be used to monitor your account afterward, but the initial setup requires a desktop.

👉 Download MT5 from XM’s website

Once downloaded, install it and log in using your XM account number and password (emailed to you by XM after registration). Select XMGlobal-MT5 as your server when logging in.

Mac users: MT5 is a Windows application. You will need to use a Windows PC or laptop for this setup step. Once set up, you can monitor everything from the MT5 mobile app on any device.

Create a free MQL5 account

MQL5 is the platform that manages signal subscriptions inside MetaTrader 5. You need a free MQL5 account to subscribe to Gold Strat. This is separate from your XM account.

👉 Register a free MQL5 account here

Once registered, link your MQL5 account to MT5:
1. Open MT5 → click Tools → click Options
2. Click the Community tab
3. Enter your MQL5 login and password → click OK

You should see a confirmation in MT5’s Journal tab that you are logged into MQL5.community.

Subscribe to the Gold Strat signal — $30/month

Click the link below — it will open the Gold Strat signal page on the MQL5 website in your browser.

👉 Subscribe to Gold Strat on MQL5

On the signal page:
1. Click the green “Subscribe for 30 USD” button
2. Log in with your MQL5 account
3. Select your payment method and complete payment
4. You will be redirected to the copy settings page

Copy settings: On the settings page, leave everything on default. Do not change the lot multiplier or risk settings. Proportional copying will automatically mirror trades relative to your account balance. The recommended starting lot size for a $40 account is 0.10 lots.

5. Enter your MT5 master password (check your XM welcome email)
6. Click “Copy Trades” to activate

The subscription is now active. However, for trades to copy 24/7 without your computer being on, you need to complete Step 5.

Set up the MQL5 Virtual Server (VPS) — $15/month

Without the Virtual Server, copy trading only works while your computer is switched on. The Virtual Server keeps MT5 running in the cloud 24/7 — trades copy even when your laptop is off.

To set up the VPS inside MT5:
1. In the Navigator panel on the left, find your account number
2. Right-click your account number
3. Select “Register a Virtual Server”
4. Select the $15/month plan
5. Pay via credit card or MQL5 wallet
6. Click “Migrate Now”

What “Migrate Now” does: MT5 transfers your signal subscription to the cloud server automatically. This takes about 2 minutes. Once complete, you can switch off your computer — trades copy 24/7 on MQL5’s servers.
Remember: The $15 VPS fee + $30 signal fee = $45/month charged by MQL5/MetaTrader. This is fully refunded to your XM trading account monthly as a cash rebate — provided you signed up via our referral link.
