AugumAegis

A disciplined, long-term breakout system for Gold (XAUUSD), built around five independent breakout modules and a layered risk-management suite.

Overview

AURUM AEGIS trades XAUUSD using five independent breakout strategies, each executed through pending Buy Stop / Sell Stop orders placed at real market levels — never through martingale lot progression, and never as a fixed-interval grid. Each module operates on its own timeframe and its own logic, so the system isn't reliant on a single market read; it's a portfolio of independent breakout approaches running side by side.

This is a long-term system, not a scalper. It is built to catch and ride genuine directional moves in gold over days and weeks, not to generate high-frequency intraday signals. Expect trading activity to be uneven — some strategies may go quiet for extended periods while gold consolidates, then engage when a real breakout develops. Patience is part of how this system is designed to work.

Key Features

• Five independent breakout strategies trading in parallel, each with its own timeframe and trigger logic
• Buy Stop / Sell Stop execution — orders sit at real breakout levels and trigger automatically; nothing is chased at market
• Risk-% or fixed-lot position sizing, applied consistently across all five strategies
• Breakeven management — locks in a small profit once a trade moves far enough in its favor
• Trailing stop — protects profit as a trend develops
• Progressive Lock — a staged profit-protection system that ratchets in more locked-in profit as a trade extends further
• Fake-breakout protection — automatically exits a trade early if price snaps back through the level it just broke
• Portfolio Heat Scaling — automatically reduces new position size as more trades are already open, smoothing the account's growth curve
• Same-Direction Concentration Cap — limits how much of the account's risk can stack into one direction at once
• Equity Giveback Guard — pauses new trades if the account pulls back a defined percentage from its equity peak
• Daily Loss Safety Cap (optional) and Trading Schedule (optional)
• Economic News Filter (optional) — avoids opening new trades around high-impact USD news events
• Free-margin check before every order, with full trade-result logging
• AURUM AEGIS dashboard — an on-chart panel showing daily P/L, total P/L, account balance/equity, live risk-guard status, and which of the five strategy modules are currently active

Requirements

• Symbol: XAUUSD (Gold vs USD) only
• Account type: Cent account strongly recommended for initial testing and small-capital live use
• Execution type: ECN / Raw Spread account required — standard/market-maker accounts with wider, less consistent spreads are not recommended, since this system relies on pending Buy Stop / Sell Stop orders and consistent execution quality
• Minimum balance: 1,000 USC
• Recommended balance: 10,000 USC or higher
• Platform: MetaTrader 5
• VPS: Highly recommended. This EA manages pending orders continuously and reacts to price in real time — a stable, low-latency VPS close to your broker's server materially improves execution consistency versus a home connection that may drop or lag.
• A cent account lets the risk-% position sizing operate with fine granularity on small real-money balances — useful for validating live execution and broker behavior before committing larger capital.

How It Works

Each of the five strategy modules independently watches for a breakout of its own defined market structure and places a Buy Stop above / Sell Stop below the relevant level. When price breaks through, the pending order fills and the position is handed off to the shared risk-management layer — breakeven, trailing, Progressive Lock, and fake-breakout protection all apply automatically from that point forward. The five modules can run simultaneously, so the system can hold multiple independent positions at once, capped by the built-in exposure and same-direction limits.

The specific logic each module uses to define its breakout levels is intentionally not exposed in the settings — this protects the strategy itself, while every risk and money-management setting remains fully visible and adjustable.

Important Notes

• This is a long-term positional system. It is not designed for scalping or high trade-frequency expectations. Some strategy modules may only trigger a handful of times per month by design.
• Past or backtested performance does not guarantee future results. Gold is a volatile, news-sensitive instrument; always size positions according to your own risk tolerance.
• Test on a demo or cent account first. Confirm behavior, broker execution quality, and spread conditions with your specific broker before increasing position size.
• This EA does not use martingale or grid recovery techniques. Position sizing is risk-based and does not increase after a loss.

Trading CFDs and leveraged instruments carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose.
