How it trades

BH Cloud-X is a trend-following EA for gold. Two independent engines look for established moves; every trade is managed from entry to exit, and the EA steps aside when conditions don't suit it.

Two independent trend engines working together.
A stop-loss on every trade from the moment it opens, sized from the Setting's risk and your account size.
Trade management that aims to cut weak trades early and protect profit on strong ones.
Closes before the weekend and won't trade when the spread is too wide.
A daily loss limit and a maximum drawdown stop, both of which you can adjust.
Three built-in settings, with examples from prop challenges to personal accounts.

What to expect

Cloud-X wins about 32% of its trades. It relies on fewer, larger winners, so runs of losing trades are normal: the longest in the full test was 13 in a row. Trades last about 1 h 52 min on average.

PF: Profit factor: money made on winners divided by money lost on losers.
Balance / Equity DD: MetaTrader's relative drawdown: the largest fall from a peak, as a percentage. Equity includes trades still open. Everywhere else on this page, "Max DD" is the larger of the two.
Tick data: The share of real ticks in the test history. 100% is best; lower means part of the test used modelled prices.
Settings: Each setting is built into the EA and chosen with one input. The "could suit" notes are examples only, not recommendations: choose and adjust the settings to suit your own account, rules and risk.

Please read before you run Cloud-X

Back-tested, not live

Every figure here comes from the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester on IC Markets XAUUSD data. Back-tests are hypothetical: they don't include every real-world cost, such as slippage, swap changes or your own broker's spread, and they don't guarantee future results.

The best month is hand-picked

It's the strongest month we found, chosen after testing. Judge Cloud-X on the full 12 months and the drawdown, not on its best month.

You still need to manage it

An EA is a tool, not a hands-off income. Check it every day, choose the Setting and loss limits to suit your account and your prop firm's rules, watch for broker, VPS or connection problems, and pause it around events you're unsure of.

Trading is risky

Gold CFDs are leveraged, and you can lose money quickly, including more than you expect when the market gaps. Only trade with money you can afford to lose. Nothing on this site is investment advice.
