Getting started with gold automation runs in five stages: write the rule, size it in dollars per ounce against the 100-ounce contract, demo at least 100 XAUUSD trades, go small live, then review live against demo monthly.
Check the broker gold symbol specification first — contract size, swap and typical spread in London and at rollover — because those numbers drive every lot size and cost assumption in the system.
The order matters more than the tooling. Traders who systematise gold successfully almost always follow the same five stages, and the ones who blow up almost always skipped straight to stage four.
