Note: 2023 and 2024 were challenging years

for trend-following strategies on Gold due

to ranging/choppy market conditions.

Strategy performs best during clear trends.

Important Disclaimer: Past performance does not guarantee future results. All figures are based on backtesting under simulated conditions. Live trading results will differ due to spread, slippage, swap costs and execution latency.

Auto Regime Detection

BULL MARKET (EMA200 Rising):

Strategy automatically trades LONG only

Captures Gold upside momentum

2025 performance: PF=1.74 long trades

BEAR MARKET (EMA200 Falling):

Strategy automatically trades SHORT only

Captures Gold downside momentum

2015 performance: PF=4.28 short trades

RANGING MARKET (EMA200 Flat):

Strategy reduces activity automatically

Waits for clear trend direction

Protects capital during choppy conditions

No manual switching required.

The algorithm detects and adapts automatically.

How It Works

Step 1 — Regime Detection

The algorithm checks whether the EMA200 is rising or falling over the last 50 bars. Rising EMA200 signals a bull market and enables long trades. Falling EMA200 signals a bear market and enables short trades.

Step 2 — Compression Detection

Measures the current 8-bar price range against the 20-bar average range. When the ratio falls below 0.55 the market is identified as compressed and ready to explode.

Step 3 — Trend Confirmation

Verifies EMA50 direction aligns with EMA200 direction before entering. Long trades require EMA50 above EMA200. Short trades require EMA50 below EMA200.

Step 4 — Breakout Entry

When compression and trend alignment confirm simultaneously the algorithm enters at the breakout of the compression zone with ATR-calibrated stops.

Step 5 — Trade Management

Dynamic trailing stop protects profits while allowing winners to extend. Circuit breakers monitor account health continuously.

Professional Risk Management

Percentage-Based Position Sizing

Every trade risks exactly your chosen percentage of account equity. Position size adapts automatically to volatility, account balance and stop distance. No fixed lots. No martingale. No grid.

Three-Layer Circuit Breakers

Daily Loss Limit — halts trading after set daily loss

Weekly Loss Limit — halts trading after set weekly loss

Peak Equity Drawdown — halts after drawdown from peak equity

All limits fully adjustable by the user

Volatility-Adaptive Stops

Stop loss distance adapts to current Gold volatility using ATR. Wider stops during volatile sessions. Tighter stops during calm periods.

Smart Trailing Stop

Activates once trade moves 1R in your favor. Minimum step filter prevents unnecessary micro-adjustments to the stop level.

Cooldown System

Brief pause after losing trades to avoid overtrading in unfavorable conditions.

Session Filter

Trades only during London and New York market hours. Asian session low-liquidity periods automatically excluded.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which brokers are compatible?

A: Any cTrader-compatible broker offering XAUUSD. Tested on IC Markets and Monaxa. ECN/raw spread accounts with tight spreads are recommended for best performance.

Q: What spread should I look for?

A: Under 40 pips on XAUUSD during London hours is acceptable. Under 20 pips is ideal. The bot has a MaxSpread parameter to automatically skip entries when spread is too wide.

Q: What leverage do I need?

A: Minimum 1:50. Recommended 1:100 to 1:500. The bot uses percentage risk sizing so leverage primarily affects margin requirements not trade risk.

Q: What is the minimum account balance?

A: $1,000 minimum. $5,000 or more recommended for optimal position sizing. Very small accounts may hit minimum lot size restrictions.

Q: How quickly will the first trade appear?

A: Based on 2025 monthly testing the average first trade appears on Day 2 of each month. The maximum observed wait was 5 days. The bot pre-loads historical data on startup so it is ready to trade almost immediately.

Q: Why did the bot not trade today?

A: Common reasons include outside session hours, Friday filter active, no compression detected, trend not confirmed, cooldown after loss, circuit breaker triggered, or ranging market with neutral regime. Enable Diagnostics in parameters to see exactly why.

Q: Does it work in both bull and bear markets?

A: Yes. With Auto Regime Detection enabled the bot automatically identifies the market direction and trades accordingly. Verified profitable in 2025 bull market (+$4,414) and 2015 bear market (PF=4.28).

Q: What happens during news events?

A: The bot does not have a built-in news filter. We recommend pausing during high-impact USD and Gold news events such as NFP, CPI and FOMC announcements.

Q: Is this martingale or grid?

A: No. Each trade is completely independent with fixed percentage risk sizing. Maximum one position open at any time. No position doubling or averaging.

Q: Do I need a VPS?

A: Strongly recommended for live trading. A VPS ensures uninterrupted operation. Recommended latency below 20ms to your broker server.

Q: Will results differ between brokers?

A: Yes. Spread, slippage, swap rates and execution speed all vary by broker. IC Markets raw spread accounts will typically outperform standard spread accounts on the same strategy. See the Cross-Broker section for detailed impact analysis.

Q: How do I get support?

A: All support is provided through the cTrader Store Discussion Channel for this product. Post your question there with your broker name, account type, parameter settings and a description of the issue. No email or private message support available.

Q: Can I run multiple instances?

A: One instance per XAUUSD M15 chart only. Do not run multiple instances on the same symbol simultaneously.

Q: Can I use it alongside other robots?
