🔬 Backtested on Real Tick Data and Not OHLC Approximations

Unlike the vast majority of bots sold on this marketplace, AdaptiveGold was backtested using high-fidelity tick data, the most accurate simulation environment available in cTrader. This means every spread, every slippage scenario, and every intra-bar price movement was faithfully replicated. What you see in the backtest is as close to real trading conditions as a simulation can get.

⚙️ Key Features

Multi-Layer Risk Management

• Fixed lot size or percentage-based risk per trade, your choice
• Configurable maximum open positions
• Per-regime maximum drawdown limits, the bot can halt trading independently for each market condition
• Daily loss limit with automatic trading suspension until the next day
• Built-in cooldown logic after regime transitions to avoid false signals

Intelligent Time Filtering

• Automatically avoids historically unfavourable trading hours and day/time combinations on Gold
• Fully toggleable, turn it off if you prefer 24/5 operation

Adaptive Regime Detection (Auto Mode)

• The bot continuously monitors market conditions and adapts its behaviour to different market phases
• Regime transitions require multiple bar confirmation to avoid noise-triggered switches
• Manual override modes available: force a specific regime for hands-on control

Professional-Grade Position Handling

• Optional limit order entry for improved fill prices
• Optional trailing stop with configurable trigger distance
• Automatic position management: conflicting signals close existing positions cleanly

Real-Time Heartbeat Logging

• Every 5 minutes the bot prints a full status report: balance, equity, drawdown, win rate, open positions, ADX, ATR, spread, and more
• Complete trade log on every open and close, full transparency, no black box surprises

🎯 Who Is This For?

• Traders who want a fully automated Gold strategy running 24/5
• For those tired of bots that look great on OHLC backtests but fail live, this was built differently
• Anyone who wants granular control over risk without writing a single line of code
• Prop firm traders needing extremely low drawdown, under 3% max equity drawdown in testing
