SAL-02-Max-CMA-Gold-250-Optimized

A disciplined, rules-based algorithmic strategy designed exclusively for XAUUSD (Gold) on the cTrader platform.

This cBot combines dual Exponential Moving Average (EMA) crossovers with RSI momentum confirmation and a minimum price movement filter to identify high-probability trend-following opportunities. All risk parameters are user-adjustable, with built-in safeguards to prevent unsafe execution.

Key Features:

1. Dual EMA + RSI signal logic – trades only when trend and momentum align
2. Flexible position sizing: choose between fixed lots or equity-based risk %
3. Configurable Stop Loss & Take Profit (in pips)
4. Equity drawdown protection – stops trading if user-defined % loss is reached
5. Friday auto-close at 23:58 server time
6. Hedging toggle – enable or disable based on your broker and strategy
7. Margin-level monitoring – pauses trading if account margin is too low
8. Hard cap on max position size (lots) to prevent overexposure
9. Automatic shutdown if applied to any symbol other than XAUUSD

Recommended Broker Configuration:

• Account Leverage: 1:500 or higher
• XAUUSD Spread: ≤ 40 pips (during active trading sessions)
• Pip Format: 2 decimal places (e.g., price quoted as 2345.67
• Performance may vary with wider spreads, lower leverage, or 1-digit pricing.

Important Risk & Usage Notice

• Trading involves substantial risk. Algorithmic trading can result in significant losses, including the total loss of your trading capital.
• Past performance whether simulated, historical, or from short-term testing does not guarantee future results.
• Always run this cBot on a DEMO account first. Validate all parameter settings (e.g., Stop Loss, Risk %, Max Lots) under live market conditions before deploying on a real account. Sudden volatility, slippage, or weekend gaps may impact actual results.
• Use hedging with extreme caution. With some brokers, hedging may reduce margin requirements and allow flexible position management. With other brokers, hedging can increase costs, trigger higher margin usage, or be restricted entirely, especially under high leverage (e.g., 1:500).
• Always verify your broker’s hedging policy before enabling this option.
• Parameter adjustments require thorough testing. Values like Stop Loss (pips), Risk %, and Max Allowed Lots directly affect risk exposure. Never use default or “optimized” values without verifying their behavior across multiple market conditions on demo.
• This cBot is strictly calibrated for XAUUSD (Gold). It will automatically stop if applied to any other symbol. Do not override this limitation.

Strategy logic limitations:

• This bot relies on clear trend signals from EMA crossovers and RSI momentum.
• It does not trade during sideways, choppy, or highly noisy markets, and may miss opportunities or generate false signals in such conditions.
• It has no built-in news filter. Avoid running it during major economic announcements (e.g., NFP, FOMC, CPI), as Gold is highly sensitive to news-driven spikes that can trigger stop-outs or erratic behavior.
• Consider manual pause ahead of high-impact news events.
• Equity-based risk sizing depends on accurate stop loss. If Use Risk % Sizing is enabled, ensure Stop Loss (pips) reflects your intended risk per trade. An unrealistically large stop may result in oversized positions.
• Drawdown protection is equity-based, not balance-based. The bot monitors equity (balance + floating P/L). A sharp adverse move can trigger drawdown shutdown even if your account hasn’t lost realized funds.
• Friday auto-close is active at 23:58 server time. All open positions will be closed regardless of profit/loss. Plan accordingly if you intend to hold trades over the weekend.
