Automated Trend-Retest Trading for XAUUSD
ADX EMA Retest Bullion Pro is an automated cTrader strategy designed primarily for XAUUSD (Gold).
The robot uses a trend-and-retest approach, combining EMA structure, ADX directional analysis, volatility conditions, higher-timeframe context, and price-action filters to identify potential trend-continuation entries.
It is designed to be selective rather than trade every short-term price movement.
Strategy Overview
The strategy evaluates several conditions before opening a position, including:
- EMA trend direction and structure
- ADX and directional movement
- Higher-timeframe trend confirmation
- ATR-based volatility conditions
- Pullback and retest characteristics
- Price-action confirmation
- Market extension and choppiness
A trade is considered only when the required conditions align.
Volatility & Market Filters
XAUUSD can experience significant changes in volatility throughout the trading day.
The robot includes ATR-based filters that can be used to restrict trading during unusually quiet or excessively volatile conditions. Additional filters help reduce entries during choppy or overextended market conditions.
Most of these controls are configurable for backtesting and optimization.
Risk Management
ADX EMA Retest Bullion Pro provides several options for controlling position size and trade exposure.
Features include:
- Fixed-volume or percentage-based position sizing
- Balance or Equity based risk calculation
- ATR and structure-based stop-loss options
- Configurable Risk/Reward targets
- Maximum volume control
- Maximum margin-use protection
- Maximum open-risk protection
These settings allow the user to adjust the robot to different account sizes and risk preferences.
Position Management
Open positions can be managed automatically using configurable protection and exit rules.
Available features include:
- Break-even management
- Initial-risk-based trailing stop
- ATR-based trailing stop
- Account-currency profit-locking option
- Trend-failure exit
- Time-based trade management
- Maximum trade-duration control
- Optional pre-hour position management
The individual management features can be configured according to the user's preferred approach.
Trading & Execution Controls
The robot also includes practical controls for determining when new trades may be opened:
- Configurable trading sessions
- Individual trading-day selection
- Optional per-day session times
- Friday cutoff
- First and last day of month filters
- Spread protection
- Entry cooldown
- Hourly pause controls
- Quarter-hour filtering
These features can also be useful when testing how the strategy behaves during different market periods.
Daily Protection
Account-level controls are included to restrict trading after predefined limits are reached.
These include:
- Maximum open positions
- Maximum trades per day
- Maximum consecutive daily losses
- Daily loss limit
- Daily profit limit
- Percentage or account-currency limits
- Optional inclusion of floating P/L
- Optional position closure when a daily limit is reached
Designed for XAUUSD
The strategy was developed with Gold trading in mind and makes extensive use of relative measures such as ATR and market structure rather than depending entirely on fixed pip distances.
This helps the strategy adapt its calculations to changing volatility conditions.
The robot's parameters remain configurable, allowing users to perform their own backtesting, optimization, and validation for their broker and preferred timeframe.
