By DATARUMALGORITHMICA

Precious Metals Scalper v4.0 is a fully automated cBot engineered specifically for Gold (XAUUSD). It combines five integrated analytical engines, Bar Quality Scoring, Candle Pattern Recognition, VWAP Analysis, Volume Profile and Liquidity Filtering into a single composite decision system that selects only the highest-probability entry conditions before placing any trade.

The algorithm adapts its behaviour dynamically to market conditions, distinguishing between ranging and spike volatility regimes and adjusting take profit, stop loss, and execution mode accordingly. Gold Scalper Updated Algorithm can be optimised, backtested and deployed for any FX and Index with Profitability as well.

HOW DOES IT WORK

Every bar, the bot calculates a composite quality score from five weighted subsystems:

Bar Quality Engine: Each bar receives a score from (0-100) based on volume strength, candle anatomy, pattern quality, VWAP proximity, and liquidity. Only bars scoring above your configurable threshold are considered for, separately for market orders (high quality) and limit orders (medium quality).

VWAP Strategy: Identifies statistically significant price deviations from the daily VWAP using configurable sigma bands. Fades extended moves back toward fair value, effective in ranging, mean-reverting sessions.

Volatility Breakout Strategy Detects ATR spike conditions relative to a rolling mean. When volatility expands, the bot trades momentum in the direction confirmed by EWMA crossover and bar direction.

Volume Node Bounce Strategy builds an intrabar Volume Profile and identifies High Volume Nodes (HVN) and the Point of Control (POC). Enters in the direction of momentum when price interacts with these high-liquidity zones.

All three strategies are weighted and blended into a single composite score. Trades only execute when the composite score clears a minimum threshold, and the direction vote is unambiguous.

EXECUTION ENGINE

• Smart Routing: High-quality bars trigger market orders for immediate execution. Medium-quality bars trigger limit orders placed at the best nearby structural level (S/R, VWAP, HOD/LOD, POC).
• Adaptive TP: Take profit scales with ATR in spike conditions; uses a fixed ranging TP otherwise. Bounded by configurable floor and ceiling values.
• Adaptive SL: Stop loss widens proportionally in high-volatility spike regimes to avoid premature exits on noise.
• Trailing Stop: Activates after a configurable pip profit trigger and trails at a defined distance with a minimum step to avoid unnecessary modifications.
• Break-Even: Moves stop to entry plus 1 pip after a configurable profit trigger.
• Spread & Slippage Guard: Maximum spread (absolute pips) and maximum spread/ATR ratio filters block execution during illiquid or wide-spread conditions.

RISK MANAGEMENT

• Fixed lot size or risk-percentage-based position sizing
• Hard lot cap as an absolute ceiling
• Daily loss circuit breaker: closes all positions and halts trading for the day if equity drawdown exceeds the configured percentage
• Daily trade limit
• Maximum simultaneous open positions
• Limit orders include configurable expiry (seconds) to avoid stale fills
• Full session filter with configurable UTC start/end hours and Friday early close
• After monitoring live markets, Traders are encouraged switch off, and turn off the cBot at 18:00 hours Europe Central Time, also 12(noon) East Coast New York Session time. We have empirically observed a degrading quality of market order filling and higher risks of drawdown, where the New York session going into lunchtime can eat up all the gains.

BACKTEST RESULTS (for referenced o,, past performance does not guarantee future results)

All backtests were conducted on XAUUSD with the cTrader built-in backtester using tick data with variable spreads. No curve fitting was applied to the results shown. Settings were independently varied across timeframes.

Important Disclaimer: Backtesting results are hypothetical and based on historical data. They do not represent live trading performance. Market conditions, spreads, slippage, and broker execution quality will affect real-world results. Always test on a demo account before applying any automated strategy to a live account. Trade responsibly and only risk capital you can afford to lose

Currently tuning the algorithm with walk-forward validation. In live trading, you can see from the images the live trades in February, and the order ticket for CBot (PMScalper 4), Gold Scalper Updated.

See images for the full history: deployed Gold Scalper Updated Live on a 1-minute chart, XAUUSD, with minimum lot size 0.01, spread 9.0 pips; trades are profitable, Daily PnL Profitable, works mostly with limit orders and fast scalping.

TRIAL VERSION

This listing includes a 7-day fully functional try product only for Demo and Backtesting. All features are active during the trial period. After 7 days, the bot will stop and prompt you to purchase the full version. No data or settings are lost between the trial and the full version.

For backtesting the Try Product, you can input these parameters for standard and ECN raw accounts.

With the try product optimisation,n any trader can find many setups to backtest and try with Demo.

Important Disclaimers

1. No Performance Guarantees: Trading financial instruments involves substantial risk. Past performance, including backtested or historical replay results, is not indicative of future results. The developer makes no representations or warranties regarding profitability, consistency, or drawdown behaviour in live markets.
2. Market & Broker Dependency: Actual results vary based on broker execution quality, spread conditions, slippage, liquidity, news volatility, and server infrastructure. The algorithm and hedging logic assume stable, low-latency execution environments.
3. Parameter Responsibility: All configurable settings (grid spacing, multipliers, risk per trade, session filters, lot sizing, etc.) are user-adjustable. Improper configuration may increase exposure, breach margin limits, or trigger unintended position clustering. Users must thoroughly test parameter sets in demo environments before live deployment.
4. Use at Your Own Risk: By installing or running CBOTs, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted all technical requirements, configuration responsibilities, and risk disclosures. The developer assumes no liability for losses, margin calls, platform errors, or execution deviations resulting from live trading.
5. Electronic Communication Network (Finance/Trading): a computerised system that automatically matches buy and sell orders for securities. It allows major brokerages and individual traders to trade directly without an intermediary like a stock exchange specialist. Broker-dealers ' quality of matching engine and order-filling varies across the industry and requires traders to actively monitor slippage and spreads, limiting max spread and max slippage to obtain optimal order matching. Important to understand that Broker-dealer desks often do not match retail traders' algorithmic strategies, as this is due to the technical requirement of VPS latency <1ms. but also on Brokers' routing choices. CFDs are synthetic prices, not centrally cleared at the stock exchange level, but algorithmically matched by broker-dealer desks.

Important on Optimisation Requirements

This algorithm is designed for both beginner and expert traders, but it is absolutely not suitable for lazy traders. For each financial instrument you wish to trade, whether it is a currency pair, index, commodity like gold or silver, or individual stock, you must perform your own optimisation process to find the optimal settings. Market behaviour differs significantly between instruments, and what works perfectly on one symbol will not work on another without proper tuning. This is a precision tool for serious, active traders who understand that market adaptation is the key to long-term profitability.

Past performance, including the backtest results presented for XAUUSD, does not guarantee future results. The algorithm's performance will vary based on market conditions, broker execution quality, latency, and parameter configuration. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown in backtests.

The algorithm requires instrument-specific optimisation. Parameters that perform well on one symbol or timeframe may produce losses on another. Users are solely responsible for conducting their own testing and validation before deploying the algorithm on a live account.
