LogicBot MT5 is a fully automated Expert Advisor focused on one instrument — gold (XAUUSDm) — built for traders who want a rules-based, evidence-tested approach rather than a black-box strategy.

How it trades:

• Entry signal: a liquidity sweep pattern — price wicks briefly beyond a recent swing high/low (sweeping resting stop-losses) and closes back inside it, a classic reversal tell

• Trend filter: only takes buy signals when the 1H close is above its 50-period EMA, and only sell signals when below it — never fighting the higher timeframe

• Volume confirmation: requires a volume surge to confirm the signal before entering

• Position sizing: calculated automatically from account balance, configured risk %, and ATR-based stop distance — no fixed lot sizes

• Trade management: each trade splits into two legs — one closes early to lock in partial profit, the other runs further with its stop moved to breakeven once the first leg hits target

Why gold only: LogicBot MT5 started as a multi-instrument system. Silver, Ethereum, and Bitcoin were tested through the same rigorous process — a 216-configuration parameter sweep across roughly a decade of history — and none of them produced a single configuration with real, consistent edge. Rather than force-fit a strategy onto markets where the evidence didn't support it, those instruments were dropped. What remains is the one instrument where the strategy actually held up.

Validation: the finalized configuration was tested unchanged across three separate ~4-year chunks of 2014–2026 history (not re-tuned per period) — every period was profitable, with win rate and profit factor staying in a consistent band rather than collapsing in any one stretch.

Built-in risk controls: daily loss limit, max drawdown halt, and a cap on concurrent open positions run as an independent safeguard, separate from the trading logic itself.
