Q1 System implements a simple gold breakout idea based on the previous daily high. The logic is transparent and avoids martingale or grid behavior, which is a positive. However, the strategy trades very rarely and the strong backtest result is based on only a few positions. It behaves consistently in supported backtesting mode, but risk management is static and may limit robustness across market regimes.
