Strategy Type & Trading Approach

The strategy combines:
- Three EMA trend alignment

By requiring multiple confirmations, the strategy filters out many lower-probability trades and focuses on higher-quality setups.

Trades are opened only when all selected entry conditions are satisfied.
Entry conditions include:
- Trend confirmed by a 3-EMA stack
- ADX strength above the configured threshold

- Price retracement toward the EMA (Different parameters from all other EMA)
- EMA crossover confirmation
- Valid engulfing candle
Additional execution controls include:
- Enable/Disable Buy trades
- Enable/Disable Sell trades
- Hourly trading schedule (individual hours can be enabled or disabled)
This allows traders to focus on specific market sessions such as London or New York.

Limitations
GoldPilot Pro is a trend-following strategy, meaning it generally performs best in trending market conditions. Performance may decrease during prolonged sideways or low-volatility markets where false signals are more common.
Like all automated trading systems, results will vary depending on broker execution, spreads, commissions, slippage, market conditions, and selected parameter settings.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always test the cBot on a demo account and use appropriate risk management before trading with real funds.

All risk parameters are fully configurable to suit different account sizes and risk preferences.
