Apex Aurum — Strategy & Key Features

Trading strategy

Apex Aurum trades breakouts on XAUUSD (Gold). It measures the highest high and lowest low over a lookback window (default 96 hours / 4 days) and treats these as the key battle levels. When price is far enough from a level, the EA places a pending stop order there — a buy-stop above the high, a sell-stop below the low. The idea is simple: if Gold breaks a major level with momentum, Apex Aurum is already positioned to ride it.

Orders are placed on a fixed 6-hour cycle (three set times a day), so the EA constantly refreshes its levels as the market moves. Once a trade triggers, a trailing stop follows the price and locks in profit while giving the move room to run.

Key features

Entry logic
