Gold Edge is an automated trading robot (cBot) designed specifically for the XAUUSD (Gold) market on the 1-minute chart timeframe. It uses market structure analysis by detecting swing highs and lows to identify trading opportunities. The bot enters trades on the second trigger of an order block, placing stop losses just beyond identified structure points with an added buffer, and sets take profits to ensure a minimum reward-to-risk ratio of 1.1. It supports both long and short positions.

Risk management features include a fixed percentage risk per trade (default 2% of account balance), rejection of trades with stop losses tighter than 4 pips, and a maximum of one open position at a time to avoid averaging down or position stacking. The strategy excludes martingale and grid trading methods.

Backtested from March 2014 to September 2026 with default settings, Gold Edge showed a net profit of 68,086.73 USD (681%), a profit factor of 1.13, and a maximum balance drawdown of 35.59%. It executed 1,771 trades with a winning rate of approximately 51%. The bot is suited for traders comfortable with gold’s volatility and drawdowns, and who can run the cBot continuously, including on cTrader Cloud. Users should consider broker spread and leverage conditions when deploying.
