What the licence gives you
- One position at a time, held for as long as the move lasts.
- One sealed profile and one size setting — nothing else to tune.
- Perpetual licence: buy once, no subscription and no renewal date.
Overview
Good at
- Riding one clear gold trend at a time
- A high share of winning trades in our own testing
- Few trades a week, nothing to watch between them
Who should run this
For active traders who follow the trend and can sit through deeper pullbacks.
Who can run this
- $100,000 or more (at $25,000 the tested drawdown passed half the account)
- Hedging MT5 account
- Any broker offering XAUUSD on MetaTrader 5
- A VPS is recommended: it runs around the clock
- Prop-firm: check the firm's drawdown rules first
How it works
- It follows the direction gold is travelling and stays with it, holding one position at a time and letting a move run rather than taking a quick profit.
- When the market turns against the direction it was following, it closes out and turns with it, so it is never left arguing with a trend that has changed.
- It works on its own around the clock and asks nothing of you between trades; a losing stretch ends rather than running on indefinitely.

Risk
Trading gold, foreign exchange and CFDs on margin carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for every investor.
