Description
Dynamic Flow Trader
Overview
Dynamic Flow Trader is a fully automated trend-following cBot for cTrader designed to trade XAUUSD (Gold) by identifying market direction using a dynamic trend algorithm. The robot automatically opens, manages, and closes positions while providing multiple configurable risk management features to help traders automate their trading process.
The cBot is intended for traders seeking a systematic, rule-based approach to trading rather than discretionary decision-making.
Strategy Type & Trading Approach
Dynamic Flow Trader uses a trend-following strategy based on dynamic trend detection.
The robot continuously evaluates market conditions and identifies bullish or bearish trends before executing trades. When a new trend is confirmed, the cBot automatically closes positions in the opposite direction and opens a new position aligned with the current trend.
During sustained market trends, the robot can optionally increase exposure by opening additional positions through its configurable position stacking feature.
The strategy is designed for traders who prefer automated trend-following rather than counter-trend or grid-based approaches.
Entry Logic & Execution Behaviour
The cBot operates entirely automatically.
Its execution behaviour includes:
- Automatic detection of bullish and bearish market trends.
- Automatic Buy and Sell order execution after trend confirmation.
- Automatic closure of opposite positions when market direction changes.
- Optional position stacking while the trend remains valid.
- Continuous monitoring of all open positions.
- Automatic trade management based on user-defined protection settings.
No manual trade execution is required after the cBot is started.
Risk & Capital Management
Dynamic Flow Trader includes several configurable capital management features:
- Individual Take Profit per position
- Individual Stop Loss per position
- Daily Profit Target
- Daily Maximum Loss
- Global Profit Target
- Global Maximum Loss
- Automatic daily trading pause after reaching configured daily limits
- Automatic resumption on the next trading day
- Adjustable trade volume
- Optional use of the broker's minimum allowed trade volume

These settings allow traders to customize the robot according to their own risk tolerance and account size.
