Step 3: Understand the Logic [1 Min]
The Gold Range Breakout looks at 3:00–6:00 AM server time each day:
Detect the highest high and lowest low in that range.
As soon as price breaks out of the range, enter a trade.
Only one trade per day is allowed (up or down, whichever triggers first).
Stop Loss: 1% of the gold price — simple and robust.
Take Profit: None. Trade closes at 6:55 PM, capturing the day’s move.
Example Trade (Short):
3:00–6:00 → define the range.
Price breaks below → sell.
Stop loss = 1% above entry.
Position auto-closes at 6:55 PM.
This design protects the downside while leaving upside unlimited.
Step 4: Make It Your Own [10 Min]
