FxTrendFollowFTMO is an automated trend-following trading bot designed for trading XAUUSD (Gold) on the 4-hour (H4) timeframe. It targets prop firm challenges such as FTMO and is suitable for conservative live accounts with a recommended minimum deposit of $10,000. The bot employs a multi-condition trend-following strategy that identifies market momentum and structural trend continuations, entering trades aligned with the higher timeframe trend while avoiding low-liquidity and consolidation phases.

Risk management is a key focus, with strict compliance to prop firm rules: no Martingale, grid, or averaging down strategies. Each trade uses fixed, calculated risk with predefined stop loss and take profit levels, complemented by dynamic trailing stops to protect profits as trades move favorably. The bot supports both hedging and netting account types compatible with cTrader brokers.

Backtested from July 2023 to August 2026 on XAUUSD H4, it achieved a net return of approximately 26% with a maximum balance drawdown of 5.89% and a profit factor of 1.56. Trade volume and risk parameters are configurable, allowing users to adjust lot size and risk per trade. The bot operates with low trade frequency and swing trading style, focusing on capital preservation and disciplined execution.
