Description
Strategy Type and Trading Approach
Dual-sided grid/mean-reversion system on Gold (XAUUSD) – places offsetting entries around the current price and lets market oscillation work in its favor, rather than predicting direction outright.
Entry Logic and Execution Behavior
Entries are placed symmetrically around the market price and adapt dynamically to current conditions, aiming to capture price swings in both directions without requiring a directional bias. An integrated trend filter helps the system stay inactive during unfavorable, strongly trending phases and re-engage once conditions normalize.
Risk and Money Management Principles
Every position operates with a clearly defined, fixed risk framework – no martingale, no uncontrolled position stacking. An account-level equity safeguard can additionally pause new entries outside defined capital thresholds, giving an extra layer of protection beyond the per-trade stop.
Key Trading Parameters
Entry distance, stop-loss/take-profit, and trend-filter sensitivity are freely configurable and should be calibrated to the trader's risk appetite and account size.
Who This Bot Is Best Suited For
Suited for traders comfortable with a grid-style approach on a volatile instrument like gold, who understand that this style trades most effectively in ranging conditions and want a system with built-in trend-phase awareness rather than blind, static entries.
Backtest Results (XAUUSD)
Starting capital 10,000 → ending capital 14,786.39 (+47.9% net profit) over the test period. Past backtest results are no guarantee of future performance – results depend heavily on parameters, time period, and market conditions. Grid/mean-reversion strategies can experience larger drawdowns during strong, sustained trends.
Important Limitations and Usage Notes
Performance depends heavily on market conditions – this style of strategy performs best in ranging phases and can face headwinds during strong directional trends. Regular monitoring and periodic parameter review are recommended. Backtest results depend on the chosen time period, spread, and broker execution conditions.
Summary
Key functionalities include configurable parameters such as entry distance, stop-loss, take-profit levels, and trend-filter sensitivity, allowing customization to fit different risk appetites and account sizes. The bot employs a fixed risk framework per trade, avoiding martingale strategies and uncontrolled position stacking. Additionally, it includes an account-level equity safeguard to pause new entries if capital thresholds are breached.
Backtesting over one month showed a net profit of +47.9% on a starting capital of 10,000 USD, with a profit factor of 3.61 and a recommended leverage of 100.

It supports market and limit order types and incorporates risk management tools such as stop-loss and take-profit managers.
