Kronos Long term Gold and Crypto
- Experts
- Version: 1.3
- Activations: 5
Kronos is a fully automatic long-term Expert Advisor for Gold, Bitcoin and Ethereum. It takes only a handful of trades per year, holds them for weeks or months and lets a protective stop follow the position. Small losses, large winners.
How it trades
- Three markets: Gold (XAUUSD), Bitcoin (BTCUSD) and Ethereum (ETHUSD). One chart per market.
- Buy trades only, one position per market at most.
- Decisions are taken once a day, a few minutes before the daily close.
- Every trade has a stop loss from the moment it opens, kept at the broker and moved in the direction of the trade.
- No martingale, no grid, no averaging down, no hedging of losing trades.
- Position size is calculated from your equity and the risk you choose.

Kronos wins rarely but big: a few long trends make most of the result, and quiet periods of several months are normal. These are backtest results, not the results of a live account. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Requirements
- MetaTrader 5, hedging or netting account.
- A broker offering Gold, Bitcoin and Ethereum CFDs.
- Recommended deposit: 15,000 USD at 1% risk to trade the three markets. If the chosen risk is too small for the minimum lot, the minimum lot is used as long as its risk stays below 2.5 times the chosen risk; otherwise the trade is skipped.
- The terminal must be running at the daily close of each market (its last 10 minutes). A VPS is recommended. Open positions stay protected by their stop at the broker when the terminal is off.
Installation
- Open one chart of Gold. Any timeframe.
- Drag Kronos from the Navigator onto the chart.
- Tick "Allow Algo Trading", set your risk per trade, click OK.
- Repeat steps 1 to 3 on Bitcoin and on Ethereum, then make sure the Algo Trading button is green.
Input parameters
- Risk per trade (% of equity) - percentage of equity lost if the initial stop loss is hit. Default 1.0.
- Magic number - identifies the trades of Kronos. Change it only if you run two copies on the same symbol.
Try Kronos in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before trading real money. Trading CFDs involves a high risk of losing capital.
