Hello everyone,
I decided to start this journal to document the performance of my algorithmic trading system running on XAUUSD (Gold).
The goal of this thread is transparency and consistency, sharing how the system behaves over time rather than making unrealistic short-term claims.
The system has been running on a live account for the past months, focusing on controlled growth and strict risk management.
⸻
System Overview
• Instrument: XAUUSD (Gold)
• Trading type: Fully automated algorithmic system
• Trading style: intraday / volatility-based execution
• Position sizing: structured and controlled
• Approach: long-term consistency rather than aggressive gains
⸻
Current Performance Snapshot
• Live trading duration: ~5 months
• Total performance: ~+40%
• Drawdown: controlled
• Equity curve and statistics attached below.
I’ve included some screenshots of the equity curve and drawdown for transparency.
⸻
Purpose of this Journal
The idea is simple:
I will post weekly updates including:
• weekly return
• equity curve updates
• drawdown behavior
• system observations
This should give a clear picture of the system over time.
⸻
Final Note
I’m always interested in connecting with other traders, developers and systematic trading enthusiasts.
If any experienced traders or investors are curious about the system, feel free to reach out via private message.
