## Aurum Trend Engine — Trend-Following Expert Advisor for XAUUSD H1
Aurum Trend Engine is a fully automated trading robot for XAUUSD (Gold) on the H1 timeframe. The strategy was generated and walk-forward optimised with StrategyQuant X across **11 years of historical data (Jan 2014 – Sep 2025)**, then tested on real broker tick data with realistic spread to ensure it replicates outside curve-fit conditions.
### Verified performance (Real broker data, XAUUSD H1, 2014–2025)
Tested at TWO realistic spread levels — proves robustness:
| Metric | Spread 20 pts (top ECN) | Spread 30 pts (good ECN) |
|---|---|---|
| **Profit Factor** | 1.32 | 1.25 |
| **Win Rate** | 63.65% | 62.60% |
| **Max Drawdown** | 2.22% | 2.40% |
| **Net Profit** | $11,363 | $9,378 |
| **Trades** | 1,004 | 1,016 |
Both tests on $100k initial capital, fixed risk $200/trade, period 2014.01.02 → 2025.09.26.
- **1,000+ trades** across 11 years — large sample, not curve-fit
- **Long-only** — no martingale, no grid, no recovery
- **Avg trade duration**: ~5 hours (intraday breakouts)
- **Linear degradation** with spread: each extra pip = ~$15 less profit
### Strategy logic
The EA places a BUYSTOP order each session above a dynamic level computed from a Parabolic SAR + Bollinger Band Width Ratio combination. Entry only triggers when the daily high is broken with momentum, and stop loss is computed using ATR(44).
The strategy targets confirmed bullish breakouts in gold and stays out of consolidations — that's why exposure is below 1% of total time and the equity curve is exceptionally smooth.
### Risk management
- Two flexible risk modes: **% of balance per trade** (default 1%) **OR** fixed amount in account currency
- Stop Loss is always set in the broker — no naked positions
- ATR-based SL adapts to gold's volatility
- Maximum lots cap (configurable, default 5.0)
- All inputs validated in OnInit (rejected gracefully if misconfigured)
### Recommended setup
- **Symbol**: XAUUSD (or your broker's gold CFD equivalent — XAUUSDx, GOLD, etc.)
- **Timeframe**: H1 (mandatory — EA enforces this on init)
- **Broker type**: **ECN / Raw spread required** — backtest performed at 20 pt spread
- **Max acceptable spread**: 30 points on XAUUSD
- **Minimum deposit**: $1,000 (for 1% risk = ~$10 per trade)
- **Recommended deposit**: $5,000+ for compounding effect
- **Leverage**: 1:30 minimum, 1:100+ ideal
- **VPS**: Strongly recommended — needs 24h uptime
- **Number of charts**: 1 (do not load on multiple H1 gold charts)
### IMPORTANT — Spread sensitivity
The EA degrades linearly with spread. Verified results below; brokers above 30 pts XAUUSD spread are NOT recommended:
| Spread (points) | Profit Factor | DD | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 (verified) | 1.32 | 2.22% | ✅ Optimal |
| 30 (verified) | 1.25 | 2.40% | ✅ Acceptable |
| 40–50 (estimated) | ~1.10 | ~3.5% | ⚠️ Marginal |
| 50+ (estimated) | < 1.0 | > 5% | ❌ NOT recommended |
**Always test the EA on demo with your broker's typical spread before live deployment.**
### Inputs reference
| Input | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| MagicNumber | 22625 | Unique ID for orders |
| RiskMode | % of balance | Risk per trade calculation method |
| RiskPercent | 1.0 | % of balance to risk (if RiskMode = %) |
| RiskAmount | 100.0 | Fixed amount to risk (if RiskMode = fixed) |
| MaxLots | 5.0 | Hard ceiling on position size |
| MinLots | 0.01 | Fallback lot size if MM fails |
### Why buy this EA
1. **Honest backtest** — all metrics from real broker data with realistic spread, not synthetic curve-fit
2. **11 years backtest** with WF optimisation
3. **Single direction (long-only)** + ATR stops — no martingale, no grid, no recovery hacks
4. **Open-code structure** — well documented, no obfuscation
5. **Active support** — questions answered within 24h
6. **Free LITE version** available — try on demo before buying
### What this EA is NOT
- ❌ Not a "double your money in 3 months" robot — annualised return is **~1.0% with default 1% risk**
- ❌ Not a scalper — operates ~90 trades/year, intraday breakouts only
- ❌ Not magic — past performance does not guarantee future results
- ❌ NOT for high-spread brokers (>30 points on XAUUSD)
If you're looking for a steady, low-DD addition to a diversified portfolio of EAs, this is for you. If you want fast 100%/month gains, look elsewhere.
### Disclaimer
