Core Specifications

Primary Timeframe: M15 (optimized)

XAUUSD only, auto-stops on any other instrument.

Important Performance Note

A- Backtesting Note

This bot performs best with tick data. On brokers that only provide M1 bar data, entry timing may differ slightly, affecting short-term results. Always forward-test before live use.

B- This cBot’s default parameters are optimized for live ranging/corrective markets under specific conditions (symbol, timeframe, broker data quality). If backtests or initial demo runs underperform, please verify:

1. You’re using the exact symbol and timeframe specified (XAUUSD M15)

2. Your broker’s spread, commission, and tick data reflect real market conditions

3. The test period featured clear consolidation/ranging action (not strong trending markets)

4. For reliable validation, run a live demo for 3–5 days during active market hours.

C- Tested with risk % sizing on $1,000 accounts — consistently reaches profit targets within 2–3 days under live market conditions.

Critical Risk & Usage Notice

Trading involves substantial risk — including total loss of capital

Past performance ≠ future results — even with robust logic

Always test in demo first — validate parameters under live spreads & slippage

No news filter: Avoid major events (NFP, FOMC) — Gold reacts violently

Drawdown is equity-based (includes floating P/L) — sharp moves may trigger shutdown

Trailing Stop is disabled by default for safety. Enable only after thorough demo testing and full understanding of your broker’s policies.

Recommended Account Setup

Risk per trade should not exceed 0.5–1.0% of your account equity.
