Description
How Kumo Works
Kumo is a scalping cBot built around an EMA cloud rejection model. It monitors price interaction with a dynamic EMA cloud (a fast/slow EMA band) and looks for "rejection-burst" setups — moments where price pushes into the cloud, gets rejected, and shows a sharp burst of momentum back in the direction of the prevailing bias. When a valid rejection is confirmed, Kumo opens a position and manages risk using a grid/hedge-based approach, allowing it to average entries and manage drawdown during short-term volatility spikes rather than relying on a single fixed stop.
Key Features
- EMA cloud rejection entry logic for precise, momentum-confirmed entries
- Grid/hedge scalping engine for adaptive position and risk management
- Built for fast market conditions and short holding periods
- Configurable grid spacing and volume scaling to match account size and risk appetite
- Designed for both discretionary monitoring and fully automated 24/5 operation
Recommended Settings
- Instruments: major FX pairs and index CFDs (e.g. US30, XAUUSD) with tight spreads
- Timeframe: M1–M15 for scalping-style execution
- Broker requirements: low-spread/ECN or Raw Spread account recommended for best fill quality
- Minimum recommended capital: sized to comfortably support the grid step and maximum grid levels without breaching account drawdown limits
Trading Conditions & Risks
Kumo uses a grid/hedge methodology, which means it can open multiple correlated positions during a single trade cycle to manage adverse price movement. This can increase both potential returns and drawdown compared to a single-entry strategy. Users should:
- Test thoroughly on a demo account before live use
- Size volume and grid parameters according to their account balance and risk tolerance
- Be aware that grid-based strategies can experience extended drawdown in strongly trending or highly volatile conditions
- Review broker margin requirements, as grid trading increases margin usage during active cycles
Past performance shown in backtests or screenshots does not guarantee future results. Trading CFDs carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
Summary
Key features include configurable grid spacing and volume scaling to align with account size and risk preferences, suitability for major forex pairs and index CFDs with tight spreads, and operation on short timeframes (M1 to M15) for scalping execution. The bot supports both discretionary monitoring and fully automated 24/5 trading.
Kumo’s grid/hedge methodology may open multiple correlated positions within a trade cycle to manage adverse price moves, which can affect margin usage and drawdown. It is recommended for use with low-spread or ECN brokers and requires appropriate capital sizing to support grid parameters. The bot incorporates risk management tools such as stop loss, take profit, trailing stop loss, break-even, and session filters.
