XAUUSD · Grid strategy automation

Configure. Connect. Automate your XAUUSD strategy.

Set up a gold grid strategy, define the risk limits it must respect, and manage it from one place. Execution runs through your own MT5 terminal and your own broker — this platform is the control layer.

You keep your broker relationship. You keep your funds. You set the limits.

How it works

Three steps from setup to running

  1. 01

    Create your account

    Sign up and set up the platform that will hold your strategy configuration.

  2. 02

    Configure your XAUUSD strategy

    Choose direction, grid spacing, lot sizing and the risk limits your strategy must operate within.

  3. 03

    Connect and run through MT5

    Link your MT5 terminal. The Expert Advisor reads your configuration and places orders with your broker.

Strategy configuration

Every parameter under your control

A grid strategy is defined entirely by its parameters. All of them are yours to set, and you can change them between baskets.

Order direction
Run the grid long only, short only, or in both directions.
Grid spacing
The distance between grid levels.
Initial lot size
The size of the first position in a basket.
Lot sizing mode
Keep each level the same size, or scale subsequent levels.
Grid levels
How many levels the grid is allowed to open.
Basket take profit
The combined profit target at which a basket is closed.
Basket stop loss
The combined loss at which a basket is closed.
Maximum positions
A hard ceiling on how many positions can be open at once.
Maximum exposure
A ceiling on total position size across the basket.
Drawdown protection
Stop opening new positions when drawdown reaches your threshold.
Margin protection
Halt activity when the margin level falls below your threshold.

These settings describe how a strategy behaves. No combination of them is recommended, and no configuration is profitable by design — the appropriate values depend on your own risk tolerance and account.

Interface example — placeholder values, not trading results

All figures shown are placeholders used to illustrate the interface. They are not real trades, not historical results, and not an indication of what any strategy will do.

Risk management

Limits you define, enforced automatically

Grid strategies add positions as price moves against a basket. That behaviour is what makes explicit limits essential rather than optional.

Maximum positions

Cap how many positions the grid may hold open at once.

Maximum exposure

Cap the total position size the strategy may accumulate.

Basket stop loss

Close a basket once its combined loss reaches your limit.

Drawdown protection

Stop opening new positions when account drawdown reaches your threshold.

Margin protection

Halt activity when your margin level falls below your threshold.

Maximum spread

Skip new orders while the spread is wider than you allow.

Emergency stop

Stop the strategy immediately, from any device.

MT5 integration

Two layers, clearly separated

The platform never touches your broker directly. It holds your strategy configuration and your account state; your MT5 Expert Advisor reads that configuration and does the trading.

That separation means your credentials and your funds stay where they already are — with your broker, in your own terminal.

MT5 connectivity is not available yet. The platform is being built so it can be added without changing how your strategy is configured.

Security & reliability

Account security

Password-based accounts

Passwords are stored as bcrypt digests, never in plain text, and a minimum length is enforced. Sign-in failures do not reveal whether an address is registered.

Revocable sessions and API tokens

Browser sessions and API tokens are stored server-side and can be revoked individually. Resetting your password signs out every device and disconnects every API client.

Token-authenticated API

API access uses bearer tokens stored only as hashes, so the database never holds a usable credential. Tokens are scoped to one account and stop working the moment they are revoked.

Two-factor authentication

Accounts can require a time-based code from an authenticator app in addition to a password. Codes are single-use, the shared secret is encrypted at rest, and single-use recovery codes cover a lost device.

Re-authentication for sensitive actions

Issuing an API token or turning off two-factor requires confirming your password again, so an unattended logged-in browser cannot be used to hand out a trading credential.

Rate-limited authentication

Sign-in, sign-up and password-reset requests are rate limited to slow down automated credential guessing.

Verified email before trading actions

You can explore and configure freely, but issuing an API token — the credential that lets a terminal trade — requires a confirmed email address.

Separation of control and execution

Order execution stays in your own MT5 terminal with your own broker. This platform never holds your trading funds or your broker credentials.

Not built yet

MT5 terminal connectivity and per-strategy authorisation controls. These are on the roadmap and are listed here so this section describes the current state rather than an intended one.

FAQ

Common questions

What is an XAUUSD grid strategy?

A grid strategy places orders at fixed price intervals rather than on a single entry signal. As price moves, additional levels open, forming a basket of positions managed together with a combined profit target and loss limit. Because a basket can grow as price moves against it, exposure and drawdown limits matter a great deal.

What is MT5?

MetaTrader 5 is a trading terminal that many brokers support. It can run an Expert Advisor — a program that places and manages orders automatically according to rules it is given.

Does the platform execute trades directly?

No. This platform stores and manages your strategy configuration. Orders are placed by the MT5 Expert Advisor running against your own broker account. The platform is the control layer, not the execution layer.

Can I change my strategy settings?

Yes. Settings can be updated, and you can stop a strategy at any time. Changes apply to how the strategy behaves going forward; positions already open with your broker are not retroactively changed by editing a setting.

Can I use the platform from mobile?

Yes. The interface is responsive and installable as a progressive web app, so it can be added to a phone home screen and opened like a native app. The same API will serve native mobile applications later. Monitoring and controlling a running strategy requires an internet connection.

Is trading risk-free?

No. Trading XAUUSD involves leverage and carries a substantial risk of loss, including the loss of more than you might expect. Grid strategies can accumulate positions and increase exposure as price moves against a basket. The risk controls in this platform enforce the limits you configure — they cannot remove market risk, and they cannot protect you from gaps, slippage, spread widening, connectivity failures or broker conditions. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.

Set up your strategy

Create an account, configure your XAUUSD grid, and decide the limits it has to run within.

Trading involves risk of loss. No returns are promised.
