Hey Tribe,
We’ve been studying gold this month — mainly because volatility has spiked and the market has been dipping. When that happens, money tends to rotate into gold as a safe haven.
And this kind of environment is where certain rule-based strategies quietly do very well.
One example is this simple gold system we tested:
📌 657 trades
📌 Profit factor: 1.68
📌 R-squared: 88.82 (smooth equity curve)
📌 Win rate: 87%
📌 Backtest period: 2007–2025
Here’s how the equity curve looked:
It’s not complicated.
It’s not over-optimized.
It’s just a clean, rule-based process that responds well to gold’s behaviour during uncertainty.
And yes — this is the kind of systems you’ll be learning how to build and deploy this Saturday.
Before I break down the strategy, here’s why we named it after the F-22 Raptor.
Gold tends to move sharply when the market gets fearful.
And when that happens, you don’t want to react late — you want to respond with precision.
F-22 Raptor is built around this idea.
It waits for three simple conditions:
Volume drops → selling pressure is fading
MACD crosses above zero → momentum is turning
ATR falls → the move is slowing, time to exit
No guessing, no predicting.
Just a rules-based approach designed to capture clean momentum shifts in gold and exit before the trend weakens.
A straightforward system that performs well when markets are volatile — like now.
“When money hides in gold, volatility rises.
And when volatility rises, bots behave better than humans.”
Humans hesitate.
Humans miss entries.
Humans get emotional.
Bots don’t.
They follow rules.
They execute instantly.
They ignore noise.
With markets dipping and capital rotating into gold, it’s a good time to understand how rules-based systems take advantage of these flows.
And that’s why we decided to open up one final beginner-friendly session for 2025.
