Both robots employ a trend-following strategy on gold using 4-hour charts. They monitor the channel formed by the highs and lows of recent candles. When a candle closes above the channel, they buy; when it closes below, they sell. The rationale: a breakout from the trading range often signals the start of a significant market move.
Each position is protected by a stop-loss order placed immediately upon entry, sized to ensure the risk amount remains constant.
The "Fixed" robot targets substantial gains with a fixed profit objective. It exits at the stop-loss or profit target, or reverses position upon a breakout in the opposite direction. While 82% of its trades result in a loss, a single winning trade averages the value of 14 losing trades.
The "Trail" robot has no fixed profit target; instead, its stop-loss trails the trend with every 4-hour candle. It wins one out of every two trades, resulting in a smoother equity curve.
They profit when the market trends—as gold did in 2025–2026—but incur small, consecutive losses when the market lacks direction.
