How the strategy works (entry, stop, target)
On XAUUSD M30 it trades only volatility-expansion regimes, riding strong channel-breakout momentum to large ATR-scaled targets. In quiet markets it simply stands aside (v3, 8.5 years of real-tick verification, all 9 years positive).
Run Mode (Defensive / Standard / Aggressive)
Every EA exposes a "RunMode" dropdown that switches aggressiveness across three levels. It only multiplies the lot (risk) — entry/exit logic, symbol and timeframe never change.
Defensive
×0.5Half of standard risk. Both max drawdown and expected return are roughly halved. For capital preservation or first-time automated trading.
Standard (recommended)
×1.0The backtest figures shown on this page use this setting. Start here.
Aggressive
×2.0Double the standard risk. Return and max drawdown roughly double, raising the risk of ruin. Use only with money you can afford to lose.
Approximations relative to Standard (Defensive ≈ 0.5x / Aggressive ≈ 2x). Drawdown does not scale linearly; in sharp markets Aggressive can exceed this estimate. Lots auto-adjust to balance when compounding is on.
