Awaiting first trade

Coming to forward testing. It is not yet available for account activation.

During its trading window, it assesses each completed 15-minute candle and never makes a decision from a candle that is still forming.

The ledger is evidence of how this approach behaves in forward testing. Its purpose is to connect each outcome to the market idea that existed before the trade, without presenting proprietary settings as a trading instruction.

• It first reads the hourly picture and stands aside completely when gold is running hard in one direction — a stretched trend is not an overreaction.
• It then measures how far price has stretched away from its reference average, judged against how widely gold has been trading recently, and requires that stretch to be genuinely unusual rather than merely large.
• It does not act on the stretch alone. It waits for a later completed 15-minute candle to recover back through the level where the stretch began, with real conviction in that candle rather than a single spike.
• The average it aims at is fixed at the moment the stretch is identified and never moves afterwards, so an average drifting toward a losing position cannot be mistaken for price reverting successfully.
• Every trade carries a stop beyond the extreme of the stretch, set before the order is sent, and the trade is only taken when enough room remains back to the fixed target to be worth that risk.
• It leaves early if price closes back beyond the original stretch, if the trade has made no progress after the first part of its life, or when its time limit or session cutoff arrives.
• If any condition is missing, it records a wait with the single reason that stopped it.

How Mean Reversion trades gold explains when it works, when it struggles and what a trader controls.

No published trades yet. GHX-04 is not yet available for account activation. This record begins when demonstration forward testing starts, and the first eligible closed trade will appear whether it wins or loses.

Nothing is backfilled with simulated or illustrative trades. The empty record is the complete record today.

WHAT EVERY PUBLISHED TRADE WILL SHOW

• Date and time the trade opened and closed, in UK time.
• Direction, entry price, exit price, and the distance to the stop and the target.
• Result in R — the outcome measured against the risk taken, net of spread, commission and swap, with the gross figure beside it.
• Win or loss, how long it was held, the session it traded, and the model version that took it.
• The plain-English reason the model took the trade, written before the outcome was known.
• Never published: lot size, account balance, ticket numbers, and anything at all about a customer account.

• Published entries are permanent: winners and losers remain visible.
• Each entry will be linked to the previous entry by a check value, making a missing, reordered or altered row detectable.
• A correction is published as an additional entry that names the entry it corrects, and both stay visible.
• Signed summaries will preserve the state of the record on each publication day.
• The same decision is released to the demonstration account and to every trader who has the model switched on, in the same cycle, with no preferential ordering.

• These are results from a demonstration account. Demonstration results do not represent live trading.
• Nothing here is investment advice, a recommendation or a forecast, and no return is promised. Leveraged gold carries a high risk of rapid loss.
• Sample size is always shown beside any win rate. A short run of results proves very little, and the record is published from the first trade rather than once it looks good.
• Results in R are net of spread, commission and swap, with the gross figure alongside. Cash figures are not published.
• Gold Hunts is operated from the United Kingdom, and these pages are published under the laws of England and Wales.
• A model acts only while a trader leaves it switched on, on an account they connected, inside limits they set. Reducing or closing a position is never blocked.
