Hi team, we’ve received a number of questions about why the XAU/USD automation hasn’t taken a position in the past 10+ days. As you can see from the attached chart, the market has been extremely range-bound, with low-quality structure and no sustained directional flow. These conditions are not optimal for a trend-based system, and this is exactly where our filters do their job. Instead of forcing trades in a choppy environment and accumulating unnecessary drawdown, the algorithm stays defensive and waits for clean momentum and validated structure before entering the market. This is a feature, not a bug. Our priority is long-term consistency, stable equity curves, and minimal drawdown. The system is designed to trade only when probabilities are in our favor, and avoid environments that historically produce poor performance. Once the market transitions out of this sideways phase and valid signals appear, the algo will re-engage automatically. Patience is part of the edge.

In the 1st pic attached (from Tv), the trade with a cross mark next to it was seemingly not taken in FXIY (second pic). Anybody else experienced similar? I wouldn't want to miss another one??

Hi everyone, I thought id start a conversation on prop firms that allow or disallow EA trading. Does anyone have any preferred prop firms they use and can vouch for? Thanks paul

Hey everyone, We’re excited to share that the NZDJPY strategy on the Elite Tools has officially gone live on the Automation Forex Host account. After extensive internal testing and live-environment verification, the setup has proven to be stable even during slower, sideways market conditions — which is often where many systems struggle. This makes it a strong addition to the lineup. A quick reminder for those running multiple setups: Be mindful of combined drawdowns if several strategies experience volatility simultaneously. Proper risk management is essential, especially when you’re trading multiple pairs. Feel free to take a look in the backtester at the most recent trades — it gives a good sense of how the setup has been performing in tougher market conditions. As with the other automation setups, this strategy will not trade during major NZD or JPY news events to avoid unnecessary risk. If you have any questions or need help reviewing your current setup, feel free to reach out https://tradealgorithm.co.uk/support

Hi all, I finally got round to sorting out my copy trading today, just before the big announcement about the new tools 🤦‍♂️😂 Anyway, whilst configuring my Slave account I discovered a new Random Delay feature in the Advanced Settings (see screenshot). I'm copying to a prop firm so I've set mine to a random delay of up to 10 seconds, as we used to with Traders Connect.
