How Aurum Recoil trades gold

• It waits for gold to move decisively away from where it has been resting, and only then does it get involved.
• Once it is in, it works that position patiently and books the result when the market gives enough of the move back.
• On the Steady and Balanced profiles every sequence it opens is bounded: it takes the outcome, good or bad, and steps away.
• It looks for work only inside a fixed window of the trading day, and sits out the rest of it.

Aurum Recoil profiles and their .set files

• SteadyDefault

  The default, and the one the published backtest was run with: the shallowest of the three and the only one meant for a $25,000 account.

  AurumRecoil-Steady.set

• Balanced

  Reads the market more slowly and closes a sequence sooner than Steady, with fewer and larger swings along the way.

  AurumRecoil-Balanced.set

• Deep Margin

  The house configuration. It works a longer day for smaller profits, and it is the one profile with no depth limit and no cap on how long a sequence runs. The desk's multi-year study of this configuration on a $25,000 account ended in account loss in 2023, in 2024 and in 2025; only the 2026 window is published here. Read the Deep Margin note before you consider it.
