Xaulgnition_v2.0_store is a long-only momentum trading bot designed for the XAUUSD (gold) market on the 15-minute (M15) chart. It initiates buy positions during the US trading session when a strong bullish candle closes above the 198-period exponential moving average (EMA) and meets specific volatility and timing criteria, including a minimum average true range (ATR) threshold and exclusion of Fridays to avoid weekend exposure.

Entry signals require the candle body to be at least equal to the current ATR, closing in the upper half of its range and above the previous candle’s high, with trades executed at the next bar open. The bot manages risk using ATR-based stop loss (3.7 × ATR) and take profit (3.9 × ATR) levels set at entry, with a time-based exit after 24 hours (96 bars). It operates with one position at a time, no grid or averaging down, and includes adjustable spread filters and position sizing based on fixed volume or a percentage of account balance.

Backtesting from August 2023 to August 2026 showed a 55.9% win rate, 1.27 profit factor, 24.16% return, and maximum drawdown of 4.51%. The strategy is suitable for accounts of $10,000 or more at 0.5% risk per trade and prioritizes steady activity with low drawdown. It is validated only on XAUUSD M15 and does not support short positions.
