Helix Trail

What the licence gives you

• One position at a time, held for as long as the move lasts.
• One sealed profile and one size setting — nothing else to tune.
• Perpetual licence: buy once, no subscription and no renewal date.

Overview

Chart M15 · Grid

Good at

• Riding one clear gold trend at a time
• A high share of winning trades in our own testing
• Few trades a week, nothing to watch between them

Who should run this

For active traders who follow the trend and can sit through deeper pullbacks.

Who can run this

• $100,000 or more (at $25,000 the tested drawdown passed half the account)
• Hedging MT5 account
• Any broker offering XAUUSD on MetaTrader 5
• A VPS is recommended: it runs around the clock
• Prop-firm: check the firm's drawdown rules first

How it works

• It follows the direction gold is travelling and stays with it, holding one position at a time and letting a move run rather than taking a quick profit.
• When the market turns against the direction it was following, it closes out and turns with it, so it is never left arguing with a trend that has changed.
• It works on its own around the clock and asks nothing of you between trades; a losing stretch ends rather than running on indefinitely.
