Hi Jamie,

Thanks so much for your thoughtful questions — I appreciate your interest in my bots!

1. Funding Accounts & Max Drawdown (10%)
   Both bots are designed with strict equity-based drawdown protection:

You can set Max Drawdown % = 10% in the parameters
The bot will automatically close all positions and stop if this threshold is breached
This aligns perfectly with The5ers’ and other prop firm rules

1. Which Bot to Use & Market Conditions

SAL-V03-Gold-CMA-Pro: Best for trending markets (uses EMA crossover + momentum confirmation)
SAL-V03-Gold-Reversion-Pro: Best for ranging/corrective phases (mean-reversion logic)
Important: Neither bot auto-detects market regime. You’ll need to run the appropriate bot based on current Gold behavior (which you can identify via price action or higher-timeframe analysis).

1. Using Both Bots

Yes! Many traders run both strategies on separate charts:

One chart with CMA Pro (for trends)
Another with Reversion Pro (for ranges)
Only one will be active at a time based on market conditions
4. Discount for Both
All pricing is managed through the official cTrader Store to ensure security, updates, and refund eligibility.
However, I can confirm that buying both gives you access to the full Gold strategy suite — and both include free trials so you can test them risk-free first!

Next Step:

Test SAL-V03-Gold-Reversion-Pro (free trial live now)
SAL-V03-Gold-CMA-Pro will be live very soon — I’ll notify you when it’s available
Let me know if you have technical questions — I’m happy to help you configure for your funding account!

Best regards,

Hi Jamie,

Thank you for your interest in SAL-02-Max-CMA-Gold-250-Full-Optimized, and great questions!

Let me address them clearly:

About SAL-02-Max-CMA-Gold-250-Full-Optimized:

This bot uses a fully optimized Centered Moving Average (CMA) strategy, designed specifically for Gold’s ranging and corrective market phases.

All parameters are fixed to preserve performance integrity — based on extensive testing across 2020–2025 market cycles.
The logic triggers trades when price deviates significantly from the CMA baseline (the “250” refers to this core filter).
It’s built for “set and forget” operation on XAUUSD (M15), with internal risk controls and auto-shutdown safeguards.
It is a stable, approved product on the cTrader Store and functions as designed.

That said — based on user feedback and further optimization, I’ve recently expanded the Gold strategy family with two enhanced, trial-enabled versions that may suit your needs even better:

My Recommendations for You

1. Try Now: SAL-V03-Gold-Reversion-Pro (Live + Free Trial)
   Strategy: Pure mean-reversion logic (different from CMA)
   SL/TP: 200/400 pips — ideal for $1k–$20k accounts
   Free trial available now — test it risk-free
   Search in cTrader Store: SAL-V03-Gold-Reversion-Pro
   2.Try Tomorrow: SAL-V03-Gold-CMA-Pro (New Listing + Free Trial)
   Strategy: Refined CMA logic — evolved from the V02 foundation
   SL/TP: Also 200/400 pips — more practical sizing Will include a free trial
   Launching within 24 hours: lINK: "https://ctrader.com/products/3199?u=Salileh" SAL-V03-Gold-CMA-Pro
   Both are part of the same optimized gold trading family but use distinct strategies — so you can test both and see which aligns with your style.

Final Note
If you’re just starting with gold bots, I’d recommend testing the Reversion-Pro trial today, and checking back tomorrow for the new CMA-Pro trial. This way, you get hands-on experience before any purchase.

Thank you again for your interest — I’m here if you have more questions!

Hi Blastorm,

Following up on your question — we ran internal tests to compare settings:

With UseRiskPercent = true (1% risk per trade):

Position size adapts to your account equity and stop loss
In strong trends, larger positions may be taken, which can lead to faster target achievement — but also higher drawdown if the market reverses
With UseRiskPercent = false (fixed 0.01 lots):

Every trade uses the same small size, resulting in slower equity growth but much smoother drawdown
Key takeaway:
The bot does not guarantee speed or profit — it simply executes your chosen risk method.

We strongly recommend starting with UseRiskPercent = true and 1% risk (as it’s more responsive to market conditions), but only after testing in the demo with your own account size.

Remember: higher position sizing = higher risk, even with the same SL/TP.

Best regards,
Samir

Hi Blastorm,

Thanks for your message — it’s a great opportunity to clarify how SAL-02 manages risk.

1.The 4000/7000 values you see are maximum possible levels for extreme trends (e.g., Gold during major news), not typical stops.

1. In practice, the bot rarely holds positions long enough to reach those levels because:

It uses tight entry filters (MA cross + 100-pip move + RSI confirmation)
The demo version auto-stops at $120 profit
The full version includes trailing logic and equity protection
3. To get 2:1 risk-reward, simply set:
StopLossPips = 250 and TakeProfitPips = 500 in the parameters

4.We always recommend testing in the free demo first — you’ll see that actual drawdown per trade is modest, even with wide defaults.

This bot is designed for trend continuation in Gold — where multi-thousand-pip moves do occur over weeks. But you control the risk via parameters.

Best regards,
Samir

Subject: Re: SAL-V02-Gold – Setup Guidance

Dear Blastorm,

Thank you for your purchase and feedback. I appreciate your patience.

Timeframe: Use M15 or H1 chart on XAUUSD — this is the only supported setup.
Parameters: The bot is "optimized" in design (logic + safety), not pre-tuned for profit. Default parameters are ready to use — no optimization needed. For a $1,000 account at 1:500 leverage, keep Initial Quantity ≤ 0.10 lots.
Indicators not showing? Right-click your chart → “Indicators” → ensure no other indicators are blocking the MA/RSI. The bot does not auto-add them — you must add them manually for visibility (they’re only used internally).
⚠️ Important: This bot trades only on strong trend confirmations — it may stay idle during choppy markets. Do not expect frequent trades.

I’m here to help you use it correctly. Please give it time under live conditions, and feel free to reply with your chart screenshot if indicators still don’t appear.

Best regards,
Samir Salileh
