SmartTradeOnHoursBreak is an advanced trading bot designed exclusively for the cTrader platform, focusing on XAUUSD (Gold) trading. It integrates Smart Money Concepts (SMC) with technical analysis to identify high-probability breakout trades on hourly and 4-hour charts. The bot employs volume spike confirmation (Volume Spread Analysis) to detect smart money activity and uses ATR/ADR volatility filters to avoid entering exhausted moves.
Key features include:
- Market structure breakout detection on H1 and H4 timeframes using SMC logic.
- Volume spike confirmation to validate trade setups.
- Volatility filters based on ATR/ADR metrics.
- Equity drawdown protection combined with adaptive trailing stop loss.
- Self-adjusting logic to filter false breakouts and reduce overtrading.
This bot is tailored for disciplined traders who prioritize patience, often waiting days for optimal trade conditions where volume, structure, and volatility align. It supports market orders and incorporates risk management tools such as break-even stops, equity stops, session filters, daily stops, and max drawdown guards. Recommended minimum balance is $1,000 with a risk per trade of 1%. The bot targets swing trading with low trade frequency and can manage up to five simultaneous positions with a maximum lot size of 10.
