Algo ctrader is an algorithmic trading bot designed for the XAU/USD (gold vs. US dollar) market, implementing a mean-reversion strategy. It has been backtested on tick data over a 14-month period, achieving a 534% return on investment with low drawdown. The bot executes approximately five trades per week, operating primarily as a scalping strategy.

Key features include built-in position scaling, set by default to 0.01 lot per $500 of account balance, which can be adjusted to increase profit potential at the cost of higher risk. The maximum drawdown recorded during testing was $165 per 0.01 lot. The bot is compatible with multiple brokers, including Fusion Markets, BlackBull Markets, IC Trading, and Opo Finance.

The strategy is configured by default for relatively safe and consistent profits but can be tuned for higher returns with increased risk during volatile geopolitical events. Backtesting was conducted with leverage of 1:500. A demonstration video of the backtest is available, and the strategy can be copied on supported platforms.

Tags associated with the bot highlight consistent returns, conservative risk management, low drawdown, and AI trading techniques. The recommended minimum account balance to use this bot is $200, with a risk per trade set at 1% and a maximum balance drawdown of 2.87%.
