The system operates on two key pillars:

1️⃣ Trend Alignment

Trades are only taken in alignment with prevailing market structure, reducing counter-trend exposure and improving probability.

2️⃣ Stochastic Confirmation

Entries are triggered when %K and %D cross within overbought/oversold zones, signaling momentum rotation at key levels.

🎯 Ideal For

⚙️ Strategy Philosophy

Gold is a momentum-driven instrument.
This system is built to:

• Capture structured pullbacks in trend

• Exploit exhaustion moves at extremes

• Avoid low-probability ranging conditions

• Deliver repeatable, testable signals

Suggested starting capital >= £2000.  The automated strategy will adjust bet size based on starting capital.

Configurable from the UI:

• STRATEGYINITIALCAPITAL – the strategy will use this as the starting point and will adjust the available capital based on live strategy profit.

• RISKCAPITALPERBET – set depending on users risk tolerance and starting capital.  Note: The actual Stop Loss is based on Average True Range, therefore this variable does not explicitly set the maximum loss per trade. 4.5% is a good starting point, with a starting capital of £2000.
• MAXBETPERPOINT – the strategy increases/ decreases bet size depending on available capital.  Note: Cumulative orders is set to FALSE so only 1 trade will execute at a time.
• TRADESTARTTIME – used to set earliest trade opening time.
• TRADEENDTIME – used to set latest trade opening time.
• BLOCKFRIAFTERTIME – disable opening trades after this time on a Friday.
• ATRMULT – used to set the Stop Loss.   Stop Loss = AverageTrueRange[2] * ATRMULT
• USEMACROSSExit – used as an Exit Condition to close trade if FastMA crosses under SlowMA.
• MAFAST – used in Exit condition USEMACROSSExit
• MASLOW – used in Exit condition USEMACROSSExit

Note: Any open trades will be closed on Friday after 150000 EST.

🧠 Built for Discipline

No guessing.
No subjective drawing.
No emotional overrides.
