 User Guide

✅ Best Practices

1. Use Only on XAUUSD M15 Timeframe
2. • The bot is calibrated specifically for Gold's 15-minute behavior
   • Other timeframes will not produce optimal results
2. Set Realistic Target Profit
3. • Recommended: 100-250% of starting capital
   • The bot stops automatically when reached
   • Prevents giving back profits during reversals
3. Monitor During High Volatility Events
4. • FOMC announcements
   • Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP)
   • CPI releases
   • Geopolitical events
4. Optimal Trading Sessions
5. • London Open (07:00–11:00 UTC) — Range conditions
   • Asian Session (00:00–06:00 UTC) — Best reversion environment
   • Avoid: First 30 minutes of NY Open (volatile)
5. Account Risk Setup
6. • Minimum recommended account: $1,000
   • Optimal account size: $10,000+
   • Leverage: 1:100 or higher
