Ducat combines multi-symbol trend following with partial grid accumulation. The default portfolio uses US500, GER40 and USDJPY, while Gold and USDCHF are optional.
The signal represents the default three-market mix
The publisher says Gold and USDCHF are disabled by default and that its high-risk signal runs the other three symbols. Comparing that account with all five enabled changes both allocation and market behaviour. Broker index names vary, so confirm symbols such as GER40, DE40 or DE30 against the intended contract. A different index label can also conceal a different point value or session schedule.
A hard grid-cycle limit still permits accumulated exposure
The description builds positions in the trend direction and imposes a stop after a defined number of cycle steps. Record the total volume and floating result across the cycle rather than reading each addition as a new isolated risk. An optional account drawdown baseline can survive restarts. Swap avoidance is conditional on basket profit and treats USDJPY differently in the described setup; verify actual swap terms rather than assuming a positive carry persists.

Ducat EA: tester demo and licence options
MQL5 provides tester-only demonstrations for Market EAs and indicators. Open the original listing to check its demo option. An EA demo runs its trading logic in the Strategy Tester; an indicator demo is viewed in visual testing mode. This is different from receiving a free licence to run the full product on an online chart.
For Ducat EA, use the setup notes above to identify what the tester can demonstrate and what still requires a supported account, data source or publisher guidance. Read MQL5’s product-testing rules ↗

Free local access. Clear product terms.
YO4X offers free local access to its supported strategy catalogue through the Windows app on supported MT5 demo accounts. This research page does not confirm that Ducat EA is included or compatible.
A free full-product licence is not confirmed here for Ducat EA. Check the publisher’s current purchase, rental or tester options on MQL5. YO4X does not distribute the publisher’s EX5 file from this page.
Ask support about current app availability before choosing a strategy. Arbitrary EX5 uploads are not supported; cloud execution and brokerage costs are separate.
Does the public signal cover all five available markets?
The publisher identifies the signal as using US500, GER40 and USDJPY only. Enabling Gold or USDCHF changes the portfolio, so its published results should not be presented as evidence for that five-market configuration.
Where should I obtain Ducat and its current settings?
Use the official MQL5 listing and Simon Reeves's linked guidance. Confirm the current version, installation instructions and licence before use. This research page does not supply an EX5 file or establish that the product is available inside YO4X.
