Hourly breakout

Autobot V1 Multi-Asset Trend Breakout (Gold, BTC, ETH)

A systematic, fully mechanical trend-following breakout system trading three instruments from one account: Gold (XAUUSD), Bitcoin (BTCUSD), and Ethereum (ETHUSD). Every entry, stop, and trail is generated by fixed rules there is no discretionary trading and no manual intervention in trade selection.

STRATEGY LOGIC

- Trend filter (H4): each symbol's bias is set by price position relative to a 200-period EMA on the 4-hour chart, with a small ATR-based deadband to avoid whipsaw right at the line.

- Entry (H1): trades are only taken in the direction of the H4 bias, on a confirmed hourly close breaking a 20-bar Donchian channel a genuine breakout of the prior 20 hours' range, never an intra-bar trigger.

- Stops and trailing: every position opens with a hard stop-loss sent to the broker at execution (2x the H1 ATR) never a mental or EA-memory-only stop. Once a trade reaches 1x its initial risk in profit, the stop moves to breakeven; beyond that it trails behind H1 swing structure. There is no fixed take-profit winners are allowed to run.

- Style: swing/trend-following, not scalping. Expect moderate trade frequency, multi-day holding periods on winners, and a win rate typically below 50% for this strategy family most trades are small, controlled losses, with profitability (if any) coming from a minority of larger trend moves.

RISK MANAGEMENT

- Risk per trade: 1% of account equity, sized against the actual stop distance and instrument tick value never a fixed lot size.

- Daily loss circuit breaker: new entries pause for the rest of the trading day if account equity drops 5% from that day's opening value.

- Max drawdown circuit breaker: all new entries halt entirely if equity drops 15% from its all-time high, and require deliberate manual review to resume this does not auto-reset.

- Correlated exposure cap: BTCUSD and ETHUSD are treated as one correlated basket with combined open risk capped at 1.5% (rather than 2% from two independent 1% trades). Gold sizes independently.

- Every stop is attached at the broker/server level, so trade protection does not depend on the strategy staying connected.

DISCLOSED RISK CHARACTERISTICS

- Gold closes over the weekend while BTC/ETH trade continuously. A Gold position held into the weekend can gap through its stop at Monday's open, producing a loss larger than the intended 1% on that occasion.

- The daily-loss and correlated-cap figures are calculated against total account equity, assuming the account is used exclusively for this strategy.

- No take-profit is used by design; open profit can give back a portion of its peak before the trailing stop exits.

SUITABILITY

Built for subscribers comfortable with a mechanical trend-following approach: a string of small losing trades interspersed with larger trend-following winners, exposure to BTC/ETH volatility, and drawdowns consistent with the circuit breakers described above. Not designed for scalpers or subscribers seeking high win-rate, low-variance results.
