Gold Auction Retest Pro is a professional gold trading cBot for cTrader, designed around a structured market approach:

Reference Box → Breakout Acceptance → Retest Entry

Instead of chasing every breakout candle, the cBot waits for price to form a clear auction structure, confirms the breakout, and then prepares a disciplined retest-based trade plan with entry, stop loss, take profit, risk, reward, and setup information displayed directly on the chart.

Gold Auction Retest Pro is built for traders who want a cleaner, more structured way to trade XAUUSD on the M5 timeframe.

Core strategy

The cBot focuses on Breakout Acceptance Retest setups.

It identifies a reference box or auction range, waits for price to break away from that structure, then prepares a retest-style entry instead of reacting emotionally to fast-moving candles.

This makes the strategy suitable for traders who prefer:

Session-based gold trading
Auction/range structure
Breakout and retest entries
Clear chart planning
Risk-first execution
Prop firm style discipline
