CLOUDPips Kumo is a breakout trading robot for gold (XAUUSD) on standard and cent accounts. Gold tends to break its key highs and lows more often than it bounces off them. Kumo is built around that one idea: wait for a real break of structure, join the move, and stay in for as long as the trend lasts.
Launch price: 199 USD until 30 November. After that, the price will be 249 USD.
How it works
- Finds the latest swing high and swing low on H4.
- Waits for an M5 candle to close beyond that level. Breakouts that go against the H4 swing structure are skipped.
- Opens one trade with a stop loss of 3 × ATR. Lot size is calculated from a % of your balance.
- No fixed take profit. The stop follows a Supertrend on M15, and the trade closes when the Supertrend turns against it.
Most trades are small losses or small wins. The profit comes from a few large trends that the trailing stop rides to the end. Expect a win rate of around 40%.
Risk controls
- Hard stop loss on every trade
- Risk-based lot size with margin and volume checks
- Optional: equity take profit (close all), profit target stop, emergency drawdown cut, daily SL / TP hit limits, minimum distance between trades
Features
- See what Kumo is waiting for: the breakout levels are drawn on the chart
- Market structure panel: up / down structure of M5, M15, H1, H4 and D1 at a glance
- Real-time dashboard: balance, equity, floating P/L, open Buy / Sell count, gain and max drawdown, with Pause and Close All buttons (Pause is remembered after a restart)
- Clear log in the Experts tab: every skipped breakout is printed with the reason, so you always know why the bot did not trade
- Daily profit withdrawal simulator
- Daily statistics follow your broker's server time
- Runs alongside CLOUDPips Sora on the same account (separate magic number)
- Works on hedging and netting accounts, and on a VPS
- No fixed TP to tune: entries, stops and exits adapt to volatility (ATR)
Recommended settings
- Symbol: XAUUSD · chart: M5 (tested on gold only)
- Minimum balance: 1,000 USD (standard account) or 10,000 USC (cent account)
- Default preset: RiskPercent = 1.0 · Aggressive preset: RiskPercent = 2.0. You can load both as .set files. Leave all other inputs at their defaults.
- On small balances, the broker's minimum lot can mean more risk than the % you set.
- A VPS is recommended so trailing stops keep updating.
Backtest results (MT5 Strategy Tester · XAUUSD M5 · every tick based on real ticks · 1,000 USD deposit)
| Preset | Period | Net profit | Trades | Profit factor | Balance DD (relative) | Equity DD (relative) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Default 1% | 2003–2026 | +2,055% | 1,579 | 1.46 | 28.80% | 30.74% |
| Aggressive 2% | 2003–2026 | +34,580% | 1,580 | 1.52 | 53.25% | 55.10% |
| Default 1% | 2024–2026 | +166% | 175 | 2.29 | 7.34% | 9.06% |

- About 1.3 trades per week on average.
- Kumo has losing years too. The worst was 2022, at −12.9% on the Default preset. Range-bound markets with false breaks are its weak spot.
Who it is for
- Traders who want an automated gold system with a stop loss on every trade and no averaging down
- Traders who already run a trend-following bot and want a different style of entry
- Not for anyone expecting guaranteed returns or trading money they cannot afford to lose
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Results depend on your broker's spread, swap and execution.
