Hello ive been testing the demo version and it only executes buys,does the full version executes sell/buy or only buys.
Will the product be getting updates in the future?
What would be the minimum capital to start with?
Thanks.- GGauchoHood
This is not financial advice, settings are here.for demo and educational purposes.
So if you look down this thread, there is a full set file, ready to be copied and saved so you can use. It is not entering sell probably because of rsi settings. Take a look. Good tradin
- Aanthonyfeliciana
before making a decision on purchasing it,what is the difference from the demo to the full product.
By this can you confirm that it executes sell orders?- GGauchoHood
There is no difference. It will only allow you to use it in a live account. Regarding buys and sells, Yes it operates both directions. But make sure you make the right tests in demo first untill you understand the system, and only then buy the real one. As you need to have some knowledge to operate your own system. Still remeber, trading is risky, only invest money you can lose! Good trading

Hey Gaucho,
I’m just wondering how to alter the settings for lot sizes.
I have a set lot size but once my capital increases the bot automatically places another trade which is fine but it increases lot sizes too, how do I change so only the one lot sizes is locked.
My broker is strict with margins etc hence why I want only the one lot sizes once my capital increases.
Thank you.
- GGauchoHood
On all the "volume Steps" you put Zero. So your grid volume and initial volume should not change. Please leave us a 5 star review, it helps to keep us motivated in helping others to achieve success. And share for what are you using the bot at the moment so I can use good stories to promote my channel. Thank you.
This is not financial advice, the coments on this thread are for educational purposes only!Thank you, yes I have left review.
I’m using default settings but RSI overbought and sold 70/30, and I select YES use RSI for initial trade, works well for me at the moment, but I don’t trade Monday or Friday and during high impact news.
I am trailing out other settings during this war event, works well but would work better with SL implemented.

Hello,
I am using the demo version, and am happy with the results. Will the price ever get less than 10k?- GGauchoHood
Hi Akram, I have received a cominication from ctrader that their price policy is changing. So there will be some changes to a lower price. I will let you know if it happens.
Thank you, please leave as a 5 star review if you are happy with the algo, takes a lot of work, but people tend to not give us reviews, making it hard to have the motivation to share our algos! Prosperity to you!- Aakram_yaroub
Thank you for the replay. Gave it the 5 stars it deserved.

Hi Mate, I have given a 90% discount to 999usd, hope it helps, in the end of the day.we.want to spread knowledge and wealth, enjoy. The price is temporary only as we are shifting to copy and challenges rentals. Sales will not be our focus, so prices will rise.
Thanks for the review. - In reply toakram_yaroub⬆:GGauchoHood
Cheers Mate. I will let you know once we find a solution

Does this bot work only on bullish market or bearish to?
- GGauchoHood
It will depend on the Rsi bias you use. If you define to standard 70//30 it will trade both ways. This is not financial advice, you can lose all your money
- In reply todarth_skull⬆:GGauchoHood
This is not financial advice, It takes trades in both directions. Are you copying or owner?
- MIn reply tosystem⬆:mubarak_fahad
I have a question, currently the entries start with 0.01and increase by 0.01 for each addational entry, to my understanding this is good for 1k account. What do you suggest the settings for 10K account?
- GGauchoHood
This is not financial advice, trading is risky and you can lose all your money.
Your settings make sense to me. I believe that if you multiply the initial equity, keeping the same ratio, would be Ideal.

Hi Guys, if you bought or buy this algorithm, I am happy to brainstorm settings so you can get the best of it

Hi GauchoHood,
I began testing on demo with the default settings, and I'd like to understand the grid system behavior better.
What happened:
- The bot opened 6 BUY positions on XAUUSD (grid levels activated)
- Entry prices: 4140.63, 4136.39, 4129.77, 4126.23, 4121.01, 4113.22
- All positions closed together at 4110.10 for a combined loss
- This happened around 21:32 GMT on 23/10/2025
Settings used:
- Volume (Lots): 0.01
- Daily Target: 1%
- Trailing Stop Distance: 20 pips
- Signal Period: 15
- Higher TF Signal Period: 10
- Higher TF Signal Timeframe: Minute15
- Higher TF Signal Mode: Entry
- ATR Period: 3
- Grid 1 Volume: 0.01
- Grid 1 Spacing ATR Multiplier: 2.05
- Grid 1 Max Size: 8
- Grid 1 Scaling Start Level: 1
- Grid 1 Volume Step: 0.01
- Grid 1 Second Scaling Level: 6
- Grid 1 Second Volume Step: 0
Questions:
- What is the recommended initial deposit for this bot?
- Is the grid system behavior I experienced (6 positions averaging down) normal and expected?
- Should I reduce Grid 1 Max Size from 8 for safer trading on smaller accounts?
- What's a realistic Stop Loss Drawdown Percent to set?
- Which trading time windows work best to avoid these drawdown situations?
- Should I enable the RSI and Higher TF signal filters to reduce entries during unfavorable conditions?
- What broker spread is optimal for this bot?
- What does "Grid 1 Scaling Start Level: 1" mean - does this start averaging down immediately on the first opposing move?
I want to make sure I'm using the bot correctly and safely. I'm continuing to test on demo while waiting for your guidance.
Looking forward to your recommendations!

Hi
First of all, I want to sincerely apologize for the late reply. There seems to have been a glitch, as I check this section many times a day and could never see your message before. I’m very sorry about that.
Please note before we start:
This information is for educational and testing purposes only. It is not financial advice. There is no guarantee that any settings will be profitable. Algorithmic trading is risky and you can lose all your invested capital. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
I began testing on demo with the default settings to understand the grid system behavior better.
What happened:
• The bot opened 6 BUY positions on XAUUSD (grid levels activated)
• Entry prices: 4140.63, 4136.39, 4129.77, 4126.23, 4121.01, 4113.22
• All positions closed together at 4110.10 for a combined loss
• This was around 21:32 GMT on 23/10/2025
This likely happened because of the low liquidity gap around that time.
Recommended adjustments and notes (again, not financial advice):
• Try setting the trading time windows to 00:00–12:00 and 15:00–20:00 GMT to avoid low-liquidity periods.
• Initial deposit: around 1000 USD recommended for default settings, or 300 USD if you reduce Grid 1 Max Size to 4.
• Grid 1 Max Size: 8 by default, can be reduced to 4 for smaller accounts.
• Stop Loss Drawdown %: grid bots generally do not work well with strict stop losses. Consider this setting as a survival limit, not a trading signal. If you set it below 60%, it is likely to trigger early and make the system unprofitable.
• The stop loss feature should only define the maximum loss you are willing to accept, not an active strategy.
• Use RSI 70/30 and Higher Timeframe filters for entries. However, I do not recommend using RSI directly for grid positions because it can be too restrictive and delay the grid process.
• ATR Period: you can try changing it from 3 to 8.
• Grid 1 Spacing ATR Multiplier: try reducing from 2.05 to 1.5.
• Signal Period: try 2 instead of 15.
• Higher TF Signal Period: try 8
• Higher TF Signal Timeframe: try 1 (M1).
• Higher TF Signal Mode: Entry.
• Broker: I personally use IC Markets because of the lower spread on XAUUSD, but this is not an endorsement or a guarantee of results. Always choose a broker that suits your own testing.
• “Grid 1 Scaling Start Level: 1” means that the bot starts increasing the lot size (according to the lot step) from the first level. You can later increase or reduce the step to control exposure.
Remember:
These are just my personal testing parameters. There is no guarantee of profitability, and you should only test on demo until you fully understand how the system behaves under different conditions.
Algorithmic trading involves substantial risk, and you can lose all your invested capital.
This is not financial advice, and any examples mentioned are for demonstration purposes only.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Stay safe, trade smart, and keep testing carefully!

Stay safe, trade smart, and keep testing carefullyHello,
Thank you for your reply earlier.
Could you please send me the exact .set file (or export of your settings) that you personally use for a $1,000 account on XAUUSD, as mentioned in your explanation?The parameter list you shared is helpful, but I’d like to test the bot exactly under your own working configuration before evaluating further.
Please share the .set file here or provide a download link.- GGauchoHood
Hello,
Thank you for purchasing the Gaucho Gold Scalper.
Disclaimer:
This cBot and the settings below are provided for educational purposes only.
Trading involves risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Always test on a demo account first and trade live only when you are confident with the settings and risks involved.
You are fully responsible for your own trading decisions.About the set file:
The cTrader discussion area does not allow uploading .cbotset files, so I’m providing the content here instead.
You can create your own set file easily:Open a text editor like Notepad.
Copy the text below exactly as shown.
Save the file with the extension .cbotset (for example GauchoGold_XAUUSD_M1.cbotset).
In cTrader, open the cBot settings, click “Load”, and select the saved file.

}
}Additional notes:
If you prefer a more conservative setup, you can set the PauseDuration to 1 day. This way, when the bot reaches the daily target, it will stop trading for the rest of that day.
You can also experiment with the trading time windows, as the bot’s behavior can vary depending on volatility and market sessions.Market conditions change over time, so it’s important to backtest and forward-test regularly and adjust the parameters when needed. There is no guaranteed result in trading, and settings should evolve as the market evolves.
Also if you are satisfied with the support and performance, please leave us a good review, it helps us to keep evolving our Bots, and helping to spread opportunities, instead of keeping the "secrets"

is the price 10k?
- GGauchoHood
Hi Darth, yes, we had a limited offer, but as you probably know, if we have 100s of bots operating similarly it is likely the strategy will not work as well anymore, so we got to be a little more selective from now. As I suspect my bot is being used to be copied on the platform too, which is fine by me, as whoever bought it can do whatever they like, it is just that if everyone do the same at the same time it gets tricky, the price option is to protect the strategy to be too crowded. You can always copy the accounts that use it, without having to pay the initial costs, My version, funny enough, is going through recovery right now, so it is not a good momment to enter, but WOKA WOKA, is using a older version and is doing really well. Feel free to copy on Demo or LIVE and enjoy it. Just remeber, trading is risky, and you can lose all your money, this is not financial advice.
