Sentinel Swing (XAUUSD)

Sentinel Swing is a structured cTrader cBot developed specifically for algorithmic gold trading across the M10, M15 and H1 timeframes.

It is designed for traders seeking a transparent and configurable automation workflow with visible parameters, defined risk controls, multiple strategy presets and clear operating boundaries.

Strategy Type

Sentinel Swing is a rule-based swing trading cBot. It combines:

• candlestick and momentum-pattern eligibility;
• quality and confluence gates;
• trend and market-regime filters;
• session and spread controls;
• configurable position sizing;
• stop-loss and target construction;
• breakeven and trailing-stop management;
• holding-period and weekend controls;
• chart, status and audit information.

The system focuses on structured trade selection rather than high-frequency entry volume. Market conditions must satisfy the active preset and its supporting filters before an order can be considered.
