The strategy combines:

• Three EMA trend alignment

By requiring multiple confirmations, the strategy filters out many lower-probability trades and focuses on higher-quality setups.

Limitations

GoldPilot Pro is a trend-following strategy, meaning it generally performs best in trending market conditions. Performance may decrease during prolonged sideways or low-volatility markets where false signals are more common.

Like all automated trading systems, results will vary depending on broker execution, spreads, commissions, slippage, market conditions, and selected parameter settings.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always test the cBot on a demo account and use appropriate risk management before trading with real funds.
