A gold strategy

Trident is a session-aware trend strategy designed for XAUUSD and extended to GBPUSD, USDJPY, and EURJPY. It uses time-windowed entries, multi-symbol context, and a hard stop discipline that keeps drawdown anchored to a fixed dollar floor across an 11-year tick-data backtest.

05 · How Trident decides

A short, honest description.

Trident watches the session opens for London and New York. When the spread sits inside the tolerance band and a momentum signal lines up with the symbol's bias for the day, it enters with a fixed stop and a take-profit derived from recent range. It does not martingale. It does not grid. It does not average down on losers. Trades close at the daily session boundary if neither side has triggered. Multi- symbol support is independent — every symbol gets its own state, its own bias, its own filters. We publish the full parameter set with the EA at listing.

What you should not expect: a curve that goes straight up. The drawdown columns in the table above are real. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results — this is a strategy, not a promise.
