GOLDEN TURTLE v3.0 – Trend Following cBot for XAUUSD

GOLDEN TURTLE v3.0 is a long-only trend-following cBot designed specifically for Gold (XAUUSD) on the cTrader platform.
Inspired by classic Turtle Trading principles, this strategy focuses on capturing sustained bullish trends while controlling risk through ATR-based position sizing and dynamic stop management.

The cBot is optimized for traders who prefer systematic, rule-based trading with pyramiding into strong trends rather than frequent scalping.

🔹 Strategy Logic

GOLDEN TURTLE v3.0 trades only in the direction of the dominant uptrend using a combination of:

• EMA trend filtering
• Golden Cross entry logic
• ATR-based risk management
• Pyramiding into winning positions

Trades are opened only when price structure and momentum align, helping to filter out sideways and low-quality market conditions.

📈 Entry Conditions

A new long position is opened when:

• Fast EMA crosses above Slow EMA (Golden Cross)
• Price is above the long-term trend EMA
• Minimum bars between trades condition is met

This ensures entries occur only in confirmed bullish environments.

➕ Pyramiding (Position Scaling)

Once a position is active:

• Additional buy positions are added every ATR-based price advance
• Maximum number of units is configurable
• Each new entry locks in profits by adjusting stops upward

This allows profits to grow aggressively during strong gold trends while still controlling downside risk.

🛑 Risk Management

• ATR-based initial stop loss
• Dynamic stop updates when pyramiding
• Stops are never widened, only tightened
• Configurable volume multiplier and max units

All risk parameters are fully adjustable to match different account sizes and risk profiles.

❌ Exit Logic

Positions are closed when:

• Fast EMA crosses below Slow EMA (trend weakness detected)

This keeps the strategy aligned with medium- to long-term trend behavior rather than short-term noise.
