Description
Golden Pulse Trader
Overview
Golden Pulse Trader is an automated trading cBot designed for traders who want a rule-based approach to market entries using UT Bot signals combined with Schaff Trend Cycle (STC) confirmation.
The strategy has been backtested on the 3-hour (H3) timeframe and is intended for traders who want to evaluate automated trading on XAUUSD (Gold).
Key Features
- Dual UT Bot logic: Independent buy and sell signal configurations.
- Adjustable signal sensitivity: Configure the Key Value and ATR Period separately for each signal module.
- Optional Heikin Ashi calculation: Enable or disable the alternative price-source calculation for each module.
- STC confirmation: Buy entries require a rising STC value, while sell entries require a falling STC value.
- Configurable trade volume: Set the order size in lots.
- Automated execution: The cBot places market orders when its entry conditions are met.
- Position reversal logic: When an opposite confirmed signal occurs, the cBot attempts to close its existing position before opening a position in the opposite direction.
- Signal conflict handling: If both buy and sell signals occur on the same bar, the cBot skips that trade.

Who Is It For?
Golden Pulse Trader is intended for:

- cTrader users familiar with automated strategies.

Important Risk Information
The current version does not automatically attach a Stop Loss or Take Profit to its market orders. Open positions can therefore experience substantial losses during adverse market movements.
Test the cBot thoroughly on historical data and a demo account before considering live use. Monitor its operation and ensure the strategy is suitable for your risk tolerance.
Disclaimer
Golden Pulse Trader is a software tool, not financial advice. Trading gold and other leveraged instruments involves a substantial risk of loss. Users are responsible for their trading decisions, account settings and risk management.
Summary
Trade execution is automated with configurable order sizes, and the bot includes position reversal logic—closing existing positions before opening new ones in the opposite direction when confirmed signals occur. It also handles signal conflicts by skipping trades if buy and sell signals coincide on the same bar.
Backtesting from January 2024 to September 2026 on XAUUSD with 30x leverage showed a profit factor of 2.57, a net profit of 2,567.51 starting from 500 units of capital, and a maximum balance drawdown of 15.88%. The strategy is intended for intermediate or experienced traders familiar with automated trading and risk management. It does not automatically set stop loss or take profit orders, so users should monitor trades and test thoroughly before live deployment.
