Trend Continuation trades gold in the direction it is already travelling. It needs higher highs and higher lows on the timeframe it reads, enters on a controlled pullback rather than at the extreme, and stops taking entries when the structure flattens into a range.
What it does: Reads structure on the timeframe you set and only takes entries that agree with it. Waits for a measured pullback instead of buying the top of an extended candle. Places a stop beyond the last swing that would prove the trend wrong, sized in dollars per ounce.
When it works: Sustained dollar or real-yield moves that push gold in one direction for days. London and New York hours, where gold has the volume to hold a trend. After a policy shift that gives gold a reason to keep going.
When it struggles: Tight ranges, where every pullback entry becomes a stop-out at the range edge. Choppy pre-data sessions when gold drifts with no participation. Sharp reversals on a surprise print, when the trend it was reading no longer exists.
What the trader controls: Risk per trade, as a percentage of the account or a cash amount. Daily loss limit — once hit, no new entries for the rest of the London trading day. Maximum open positions on gold at any one time. Sessions it may trade, and whether high-impact news blocks new entries. You can switch the model off at any time, and reducing or closing risk is never blocked.

GHX-01 Trend Continuation v2.0 is built on the Gold Hunts model contract: one fixed method, one immutable version, and a recorded decision with a plain-English reason every time it looks at gold. Rebuilt and in verification. Not trading, on any account, until its demonstration account is live. When it is switched on it looks once per closed 15-minute candle, and never judges a candle that is still forming.
How it decides: It first reads the hourly picture and will only consider a trade in the direction gold is already travelling. It then waits for a measured push in that direction, followed by a shallow pause that holds rather than unwinds the move. It takes the trade only when a completed 15-minute candle closes back in the original direction, and it declines the trade if price has already run too far to be worth joining. Every trade carries a stop beyond the level that would prove the idea wrong and a target at twice that distance, both fixed before the order is sent. If the conditions are not all present, it records a wait with the one reason that stopped it.
Every closed trade it takes on the Gold Hunts demonstration gold account is published at https://goldhunts.com/gold-models/ghx-01-trend-continuation/ledger, win or lose, with the reason written before the outcome was known. Customer trades are never published. Results are shown against the risk taken, net of costs, with the gross figure alongside, and sample size is always shown. These are demonstration results and do not represent live trading.
