Does GoldBot Air work with Dukascopy?
Yes. GoldBot Air runs on any MetaTrader 5 account that offers XAUUSD (gold), so it works on Dukascopy as long as your account is on MT5.
Dukascopy offers MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5.
GoldBot Air v3 trades BUY and SELL sides on gold, starts new streaks only on a stochastic signal in the direction of the EMA trend, trades the London session, manages losses with a capped recovery system and stops at a daily target. How GoldBot Air works.
How to set it up on Dukascopy
- Open or log in to a Dukascopy MT5 account. A Raw, ECN or zero-spread account usually has the lowest gold costs.
- Install MetaTrader 5 from your Dukascopy client area or our download page, and log in with your account number and the server shown by Dukascopy.
- Find gold in Market Watch. On Dukascopy it is XAUUSD or XAUUSD with a suffix (for example .m, .c or #). Use the one your account trades.
- Get your licence. Create a free GoldBot account and take the free 5-day demo key for your Dukascopy MT5 account number; your key appears in My Licence and runs every GoldBot EA.
- Attach the EA. Copy GoldBot Air (and its presets) into MQL5, turn on Algo Trading, drag it onto one gold chart, load a preset and paste your key.
- Keep it running. Use a Windows VPS close to Dukascopy's trading server so the EA runs through the London session.

Test on a demo account first and use settings you can afford: automated trading can lose money.
