FULL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ONLY cBot You Need to Pass Gold-Based Prop Challenges
CRITICAL: GOLD SPECIALIST - NOT A MULTI-PAIR BOT
This is **NOT** a generic "universal" bot that claims to trade everything.
SAL01 PropShield Gold Specialist Pro is a precision-engineered system designed exclusively for:
- XAUUSD (Gold) ONLY** - hardcoded validation
- M30 (30-minute) timeframe ONLY** - hardcoded validation
- Will **REFUSE to run** on any other instrument or timeframe
Why Gold Only?
After extensive testing, we discovered that Gold offers the PERFECT combination for prop challenges:
- Clear, sustained trends (ideal for trend-following)
- High profit potential (can hit 8-10% in 2-3 weeks)
- Reasonable volatility (not crazy like GBP/JPY)
- Excellent technical respect (MAs and ADX work beautifully)
- Consistent behavior across major trading sessions
Rather than create a mediocre multi-pair bot, we focused on **mastering ONE instrument perfectly
PROVEN PERFORMANCE (27-Day Real Backtest) In backtests, users hit the $1,000 trial target
in as little as 1 day, with profits.
SPECIAL NOTE: PLATFORMS WITH 1.0 LOT MINIMUM
Some prop firms use smaller contract sizes with a 1.0 lot minimum:
Examples include:
WeGetFunded (10 oz contracts vs standard 100 oz)
Potentially other firms with similar specifications
How to Identify:
The bot will automatically detect these platforms and show:
PLATFORM WITH 1.0 LOT MINIMUM DETECTED (e.g., WeGetFunded or similar platforms)
How to Use on These Platforms:
Adjust your Risk % setting:
DON'T use: 0.8% (standard setting)
Use: 0.1-0.2% (compensates for larger lot size) Platform enforces 1.0 lot minimum (cannot go lower)
Lower Risk % = calculation requests smaller size. Bot uses 1.0 lot (minimum allowed)
Net result = appropriate risk for account size
Proven Results on WeGetFunded:
Tested Configuration:
Risk %: 0.1%
Lot Size: 1.0 lot (platform minimum)
The strategy works perfectly - you just need to adjust the Risk % parameter!
Summary:

The bot auto-detects and guides you! Just follow the on-screen recommendations.
Key Points:
✅ Bot works on ALL platforms including WeGetFunded
✅ Auto-detection tells you if Risk % needs adjustment
✅ Lower Risk % on 1.0 lot minimum platforms = Same effective risk
✅ Proven profitable on both platform types

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Can I use this on forex pairs?
A: No. The bot will refuse to start on anything except XAUUSD. This is intentional - the parameters are specifically optimized for Gold and will not work well on forex pairs.
Q: Why does it only work on M30?
A: The strategy is optimized for 30-minute charts. On M5, there's too much noise. On H1, signals are too slow. M30 is the sweet spot for gold trend-following.
Q: I'm on FTMO and the bot isn't trading. Help?
Lower Min ATR from 20 to 11 pips. FTMO's cTrader platform reports ATR differently. This is mentioned in the documentation and is a known quirk of their specific feed.
Q: How long to pass a challenge?
A: Typically, 15-25 days. The bot prioritizes safety over speed. It may go 2-3 days without a trade waiting for proper setups. This is normal and good.
Q: Can I adjust the parameters?
**A: Yes (Pro version only). But we strongly recommend keeping the defaults, especially Min ADX 22. The Trial version hides critical parameters to prevent misuse.
Q: Does it work on demo accounts?
A: Yes. Test in demo first! We recommend 1-2 weeks of demo testing before going live.
Q: Do I need a VPS?
A: Recommended but not required. A VPS ensures 24/5 operation without interruptions. Most traders use a VPS for challenges.
Q: What leverage should I use?
A: 1:100 to 1:500 works well. Most prop firms provide 1:100.
Q: Will this work on funded accounts?
A: Yes! After passing, you can continue using it on your funded account. Consider lowering risk to 0.5-0.6% for even safer long-term trading.
Q: How is this different from other prop bots?
A: Most bots claim to work on everything. We focus on ONE thing and do it exceptionally well. Higher quality, higher pass rate, clearer positioning.
Q: Do you offer support?
A: Yes. Use the discussion section in Spotware, or contact via provided support email. We respond within 24 hours typically.

WHAT USERS SAY
I tried 3 different 'universal' bots before this. All failed. SAL01 Gold Specialist passed FTMO on first attempt. The fact it refuses to run on EUR/USD saved me from myself."* - **Mohammed K., Funded Trader**
18 days to pass FundedNext Express. The 75% win rate isn't exaggerated - mine was 73%. Low drawdown gave me peace of mind. Sarah., Professional Trader**
FTMO users: lower Min ATR to 11 like the description says. That fixed it for me. Passed in 22 days."* - David R., FTMO Funded
Finally, a bot developer who's honest about what their product does and doesn't do. Refreshing. And it works exactly as described.- James T., Prop Trader
The specialization is genius. Instead of being mediocre at 10 pairs, it's excellent at one. That's all I need."* - **Alex M., Full-Time Trader
