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
