Gold Auction Retest Pro is a cTrader cBot designed for trading XAUUSD (gold) on the M5 timeframe using a structured auction market approach. It identifies a reference box or auction range, waits for a confirmed breakout beyond this structure, and then plans disciplined retest entries with defined entry, stop loss, and take profit levels. The cBot visually displays the trade plan—including reference zones, breakout areas, risk/reward metrics, and setup guidance—directly on the chart to support clear decision-making.
Key features include auction structure detection, breakout acceptance logic, risk-based position sizing, and smart filters such as session timing, spread control, and risk filters. It also incorporates daily risk management with limits on maximum trades and daily loss. Users can operate the cBot in three modes: Advisory Only (displaying setups without trading), Alert Only (sending alerts on valid setups), or Pending Order mode (automatically placing retest orders).
The strategy suits traders seeking a structured, risk-disciplined system for gold trading with breakout and retest logic, visual trade planning, and prop firm style risk controls. It is not designed for martingale, grid, or high-frequency scalping methods. Backtesting on XAUUSD M5 data from 2025 to 2026 showed an 85.05% ROI with a profit factor of 1.39. Recommended starting mode is Advisory Only with a suggested minimum balance of $10,000.
