Trend mode
When gold breaks out near the top or bottom of its 140-day channel, Aurum enters in the breakout direction at fixed times of the day, with an initial stop of 0.6% that tightens every hour.
An automated gold strategy that knows when the market trends and when it ranges.
Aurum trades XAUUSD only. It reads the market regime from a 140-day channel on the daily chart, follows breakouts in trend mode and works a small ladder of limit orders when gold moves sideways. Every position has a stop loss from the moment it opens.
Gold is near the bottom of its channel: Aurum follows the move down.

When gold breaks out near the top or bottom of its 140-day channel, Aurum enters in the breakout direction at fixed times of the day, with an initial stop of 0.6% that tightens every hour.
Inside the central part of the channel it places a small ladder of limit orders in the direction of the daily trend, centred on the previous day's pivot, with a common stop and a 5-day time exit.
A daily ADX and Efficiency Ratio filter moves the thresholds by a few points when a trend or a range is forming, and trend entries wait when the spread is above normal.
Size scales with the account. New trades stop at -25% from the equity peak and everything closes at -30%. No martingale, no averaging down, no hedging tricks.
Simulated on XAUUSD with real spread, commission and swap, starting from 5,000 USD with 0.02 lots per 5,000 USD. Backtests are hypothetical: they show how the rules behaved, not what will happen.
* to October. 2025 and 2026 benefit from an exceptional gold trend; quiet years are much flatter.
