CLOUDPips Hayate is a daily-breakout robot for gold (XAUUSD) on standard and cent accounts. It also works on BTCUSD (Bitcoin) with the same presets. Hayate ("swift wind") looks for days when gold breaks clearly out of its normal daily range, and follows the move only when it agrees with the long-term trend.
How it works
-
Daily levels: each day Hayate sets Buy and Sell levels from the day's open and the market's recent daily range.
-
Entry: Hayate trades the first clear break of either level that day.
-
Trend filter, on by default: a breakout is taken only in the direction of gold's long-term trend. Breakouts against the trend are skipped.
-
Kaze (wind) filter, on by default: the market must be at least as active as normal for that time of day. Breakouts in a quiet market are skipped.
-
Stop loss: based on the daily range, on every trade.
-
Exit:
- No fixed take profit.
- The trade stays open until it hits its stop loss or reaches its maximum holding time of about one day.
-
Risk: one trade at a time, with the lot size calculated from a % of your balance.
Expect a win rate of around 42%, with winners about 1.8 times the size of the losers. Losing runs still happen, so judge it over months, not days.
Risk controls
- Hard stop loss on every trade
- One trade at a time, with a maximum holding time
- Kaze filter (on by default)
- 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

Recommended settings
-
Symbol: XAUUSD (built for gold). Also works on BTCUSD with the same presets: start at 0.5% risk there and don't use Aggressive.
-
Chart timeframe: any. We recommend D1: the chart loads fastest and uses the least memory. The bot reads the timeframes it needs internally, so the chart timeframe does not change its trades.
-
Broker time zone: detected automatically in live trading, nothing to set. Only for a backtest, set Server_GMT_Offset to your broker's time zone: attach the bot to a live chart once and the Experts tab shows it (for example "detected automatically: GMT+2" means 2).
-
Minimum balance: 1,000 USD on a standard account, or 10,000 USC on a cent account.
-
Presets:
- Default: RiskPercent = 1.0.
- Aggressive: RiskPercent = 2.0.
- Load either one as a .set file, and leave all other inputs at their defaults.
-
Aggressive risk: the equity drawdown reached about 46% over 23 years. Use it only with money you can afford to lose.
-
Small balances:
- Hayate's stop is wide, so on 1,000 USD it often trades the broker's minimum lot. The real risk per trade can then be higher than the % you set.
- A cent account sizes the lot more precisely.
-
Running several CLOUDPips bots or symbols on one account? Lower RiskPercent to 0.5 on each as a starting point, or lower still to match the risk you are comfortable with.
-
Swap: trades are held overnight, so your broker's swap affects the result.
-
VPS: recommended.
Backtest results
- MT5 Strategy Tester · XAUUSD M5 · every tick based on real ticks (QuantDataManager tick data) · 1,000 USD deposit · Kaze filter on.
- Every trade is costed with a realistic spread of 0.24 USD (24 cents), the typical spread of a standard account. Many backtests use a much lower spread; ours does not.
| Preset | Period | Net profit | Trades | Profit factor | Balance DD (relative) | Equity DD (relative) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Default 1% | 2003–2026 | +1,038% | 1,776 | 1.31 | 21.48% | 22.72% |
| Aggressive 2% | 2003–2026 | +10,920% | 1,777 | 1.30 | 43.95% | 45.92% |
| Default 1% | 2024–2026 | +120% | 228 | 1.39 | 21.19% | 28.20% |
| Aggressive 2% | 2024–2026 | +133% | 228 | 1.40 | 30.22% | 31.83% |
- Also works on BTCUSD (Bitcoin): with the same Default preset, the 2017–2026 backtest (MT5 · BTCUSD M5 · every tick based on real ticks · 6.40 USD spread · 1,000 USD deposit) had a profit factor of 1.31 and an equity drawdown of 23.9%. Drawdowns on BTCUSD were deeper than on gold for several bots, so start at 0.5% risk there and don't use Aggressive.
- Frequency: about 1.5 trades per week on average.
- Win rate: about 42%. Losing runs are normal for a breakout strategy; the profit comes from the winners being larger.
- Results swing with the period: judge Hayate over years, not months.
- Losing years: on the Default preset, 5 of 24 calendar years were negative: 2003 (−9.2%), 2004 (−7.1%), 2012 (−2.5%), 2019 (−1.4%), 2023 (−0.7%).
- Best years: 2013 (+44.4%), 2020 (+32.0%) and 2025 (+29.9%).
- Your results will differ: they depend on your broker's spread, swap, execution and the tick data your tester uses.
Who it is for
- Traders comfortable holding a trade overnight and riding out losing runs
- Traders who want a bot that trades differently from short-term strategies
- 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.
