Description

XAUUSD SELL PRO v1.00 is a fully automated SELL-only cBot developed specifically for XAUUSD on the M1 timeframe.

The strategy identifies high-quality SELL opportunities using a combination of short-term price structure, momentum, volatility, confirmation logic and adaptive risk routing.

The commercial PRO version is intentionally simplified for the user. The trading engine and validated strategy parameters are internally fixed, while the trader controls only one setting:

The cBot automatically handles:

SELL signal detection and confirmation
position sizing
stop loss and take profit
profit protection
trailing profit management
drawdown protection
quality-based risk allocation
spread filtering
position and trade management
