Deskripsi
RTS: TrendSeeker is a fully automated, long-only daily-momentum cBot built from a disciplined, 5-year data research program (2021-2026, verified OHLC). It scans 9 major currencies and Gold and trades a single, rigorously validated edge - nothing more, nothing guessed.
THE STRATEGY
- Entry: go long when the 20-day rate of change is positive at the daily close, then buy at the next day's open.
- Exit (first hit): momentum flip (20-day ROC turns negative) or a 10-day time stop.
- Long-only by design: the short side lost money in 4 of 5 full years in the research, so the bot only trades the direction that works.
- Concurrent positions: one per symbol, up to 9 at once, each managed independently on its own daily bars.
UNIVERSE
AUDJPY, CADJPY, CHFJPY, EURJPY, GBPJPY, NZDJPY, USDCAD, USDJPY, XAUUSD (Gold)
HOW IT TRADES
- Fixed minimum-lot sizing (FX 0.01 lot, Gold 0.01 lot) - no risk targeting, no skipped trades; works on any account size.
- Optional insurance stop (4x ATR) to cap tail risk on the biggest movers.
- On-chart dashboard - equity, day P&L, drawdown, open positions, per-symbol status.
- Structured logs - every entry shows actual risk percent; every exit is tagged flip or time-stop.
- Runs on cTrader Cloud - 24/7 automation even when your computer is off. No VPS needed.

HONEST CAVEATS (READ BEFORE BUYING)
- 2026 has been the weakest stretch on record - drawdown periods are expected and should not be chased.
- Research modeled costs - live spread, swap and slippage reduce the net edge (JPY crosses carry roll).
- The edge is regime-dependent - concentrated in 2021+ JPY-weakness and gold-trend conditions.
- Past performance does not guarantee future results.
- This is a trading tool, not investment advice; only trade capital you can afford to lose.
