Thia cbot is a professional-grade automated trading system (cBot) engineered specifically for Gold (XAUUSD) on the H4 timeframe. Built natively for cTrader Automate using C# and the official Spotware cAlgo API, it combines trend-following logic with strict institutional risk management — making it suitable for personal accounts and prop firm challenges alike.

Unlike typical "set-and-forget" EAs, this bot follows a transparent, rules-based strategy: every entry is confirmed on closed candles only (zero repaint), every trade is protected with a predefined Stop Loss and Take Profit, and your account is shielded by daily and total drawdown limits at all times.

Key Features

🛡️ Prop-Firm Friendly Risk Architecture

• Daily Drawdown Limit — automatically blocks new trades when your configured daily loss threshold is reached.
• Total Drawdown Limit — halts trading entirely and closes all positions if maximum account drawdown is breached.
• No martingale. No grid. No averaging down. Position size is calculated from a fixed percentage of balance and the real distance to the stop loss.
• Full volume normalization respecting broker Min / Max / Step constraints.

📊 Intelligent Signal Engine

• Triple EMA alignment (Fast / Medium / Slow) filters out noise and only trades in the direction of the dominant trend.
• ATR-based volatility awareness dynamically sizes Stop Loss and Take Profit to current market conditions — wider stops in volatile regimes, tighter in calm ones.
• Signals are evaluated exclusively on closed H4 bars, eliminating false signals from forming candles.

⚙️ Precision Trade Management

• Break-even & trailing stop engine that only moves stops in your favor — never against it.
• Configurable session filter (UTC hours) to avoid illiquid periods and rollover spreads.
• Real-time spread filter prevents entries when broker spreads exceed your tolerance.
• Maximum concurrent positions cap to control exposure.

🔒 Safety First

• All order executions wrapped in error handling with full logging of every action taken.
• Works with any broker symbol configuration; simply attach to an XAUUSD H4 chart.
• AccessRights.None — the bot requires no special permissions on your machine.
