Welcome to Chronos XAU!
Chronos XAU trades a time-of-day effect, not a chart pattern. Gold's benchmark price is set in London at 10:30 and 15:00 London time, and gold has tended to dip in the minutes just before each fixing.
The dip appears in almost every year since 2015 and disappears when the same test is run at other times of day, so it is tied to the fixing itself rather than to general market noise.
No grid, no martingale, no averaging down. Every trade has a stop loss.
Key Features:
- Sells 3 minutes before each fixing and closes 1 minute after
- Trades only when the cost is small compared with daily volatility
- British Summer Time handled automatically
- Protective stop loss on every trade
- Trades: Up to 2 per day on active days; idle in quiet markets
- Holding time: About 4 minutes
Entry: sell 3 minutes before 10:30 and 15:00 London time.
Exit: 1 minute after the fixing.
Cost filter: trades only when cost ÷ daily ATR ≤ 0.85%. Cost is the larger of the current spread and an assumed $0.35.
Stop loss: 0.5 × daily ATR (protective).
Backtesting:
Test on XAUUSD with the default settings, using "Every tick based on real ticks" where available.
Our test (MT5 Strategy Tester, broker XMTrading (symbol GOLD), XAUUSD, 2015.01–2026.09, 0.01 lot, $10,000, model: every tick based on real ticks, default settings):
- Net profit: +$443.17
- Trades: 861
- Profit factor: 1.46
- Recovery factor: 5.85
- Max equity drawdown: 0.75%
- Win rate: 56.79%
- Average win / loss: +$2.89 / −$2.60
- Years positive: 3 of 5 years with trades (2022, 2024 negative)
Good to know:
- Most active when gold is volatile; in quiet markets the cost filter keeps it idle.
- Trades last minutes, so a low-spread account and a VPS are recommended.
Setup:
Attach the EA to one XAUUSD chart (any timeframe). Recommended balance: $500 per 0.01 lot. Account: Hedging or netting. Low-spread account and VPS strongly recommended.
Parameters:
- Lots – lot size
- UseAM / UsePM – use the 10:30 / 15:00 fixing
- EntryBefore / ExitAfter – minutes before / after the fixing
- MaxCostPct / CostAssumed – cost filter
- SL_A – protective stop in daily ATR
- ServerGMT, Magic, OrderComment – general settings
IMPORTANT:
Check the server GMT offset input. The default is correct for brokers whose server time is GMT+2 in winter and GMT+3 in US summer time (most brokers). For other brokers, set it manually, or the trading times will be shifted.
Trading involves risk. Past results, including backtests, do not guarantee future results.
