Trading systems, like people, can't stand still. They either evolve or degrade!
Developing and continually evolving a trading system isn't just a technical task, but rather a personal challenge for me as a trader. I view every strategy as a living organism that needs to be observed, tested in real-world conditions, and purposefully improved, identifying and strengthening its weaknesses. A month ago, I launched live tests for a cluster trading system for gold . Now I'm expanding the trading bot's weaknesses by adding new trading systems.

A trend-based trading system for breaking out extremes for XAUUSD
Opening a position: Take any trend indicator (I use the "AceTrend" indicator) and plot a zigzag on the highs and lows of its trends. We'll open a long position at the previous high and a short position at the previous low. We'll use pending stop orders to open the position.

Position closing and monitoring: we'll use STOP LOSS, TAKE PROFIT, and TRAILING STOP. All values are expressed as percentages of the current symbol price. We'll hold pending orders until the trend reverses.
As a development of this idea, it makes sense to try using the trend indicator " Moving Average Cross Signal ".

The system demonstrates the highest stability and combines harmoniously with regular trend-following entries.

No, it's just a background. The expert presented here is free and unlimited. And the trading system can be assembled on any trend indicators with similar results.

Great!!!

Can it be used on real account? What is the recommended account size?

You dont need any indicators to win on Gold, the price is up from teen year ago. Will be interesting test in other assets

The drawdown in the strategy tester turned out to be around $ 100 when trading 0.01 lots. For systems based on correct algorithms and without retraining, it is a good rule to take a deposit of three drawdowns.

I recommend 300$.

You're right about that! Assets like gold are only logical to buy.

But nevertheless. It sounds silly, but it's a fact: Super profitable short (sell) trades are possible even in a crazy bull market. You can prohibit an expert from buying in the strategy tester to make sure of this.

Although you probably shouldn't trust strangers in a strategy tester. Here is an example from a real account:
