Automated trading software for Gold futures
Automated trading. Rules instead of discretion.
GoldAutoTradePRO is automated trading software for Gold futures and runs exclusively in NinjaTrader. It analyses the market according to defined rules and, when enabled, can execute orders automatically through your own NinjaTrader trading connection. Your trading capital remains with your broker and under your control.
Your account. Your capital. The software automates execution. Profits and losses arise directly on your trading account. GoldAutoTradePRO does not hold customer funds and is neither a broker nor an asset manager. Three operating modes control the enabled trade mix; historical analyses and the underlying trades can be reviewed transparently.
Operating modes
Three operating modes. One system core.
Choose the enabled scope that matches your preferred operating profile. All three modes use the same strategy core; they differ in the enabled trade mix.

Decision principle
Selectivity before frequency.
A trade is released only when market context, structure, quality and operating state support the same decision.
1 / 3
01 / 03
Selective execution
A market impulse is initially only an observation. Only when the sweep occurs at a relevant price area, price subsequently confirms the opposite direction, and no quality or operating rule conflicts, can it become an order.
Most candidates are deliberately rejected. Activity is reduced not by trading smaller positions, but by omitting incomplete situations altogether.

Structure-based analysis
The system does not assess price movement in isolation. It links relevant highs and lows, liquidity sweeps, the reaction after the sweep and the subsequent break of short-term market structure.
This separates a brief push through a level from a genuinely confirmed directional shift. A sweep without reaction remains visible, but is not traded automatically.

Controlled operation
Even a technically valid setup may only be executed in an unambiguous operating state. Data feed, active connection, instrument, trading time, position state and existing orders are checked independently of the market signal.
Stop loss and take profit are linked to the position as a defined bracket plan. If an operating condition is unclear, the system blocks new entries instead of forcing an uncertain execution.
Data & connectionFeed and platform state unambiguous
Order & positionNo duplicate position, defined bracket plan
Trading time & sessionApproval only inside the rules
Output: execute, continue observing or block safely
500 Tick
Market activity instead of fixed minute blocks.
A 500-tick chart closes a bar after a fixed number of market updates. Active periods are therefore represented in greater detail while quiet periods are compressed. The strategy follows actual activity more closely than rigid time intervals.
Technical explanationTime-based bars
Every bar represents the same time span, regardless of whether the period contained high or low market activity.
500-tick bars
Every bar represents the same activity count. The time required to complete a bar adapts to the market.
Decision chain
Multiple layers. One controlled decision.
The process hands information from one responsibility to the next. Every stage can advance a candidate, return it to observation or reject it completely. A visible signal is therefore not yet an order.
ACTIVE STEP 01 / 05
Read market
Price, market activity and relevant price areas are captured. The result is initially only a structured market picture – not a trade signal.

MGC Futures
Why futures – and why Micro Gold?
The home page provides a concise instrument overview. Contract specifications, tick value, rollover and data access are explained in depth on the system page.
Standardised market
MGC is an exchange-traded futures contract with a defined tick structure, expiry cycle and central price formation.
Finer position sizing
Micro Gold represents gold with a smaller contract size, allowing finer risk allocation than the larger Gold futures contract.
Rollover required
Liquidity migrates between contract months. The active contract must therefore be selected deliberately and monitored operationally.
Intraday strategyGoldAutoTradePRO opens positions only within the defined trading day and is scheduled to flatten before the session close. It does not intentionally hold positions overnight or over the weekend.
Validation
Development remains separate from validation.
New filters or logic are not marketed as success retroactively. Changes must be reproducibly tested, compared against established references and then observed in a separate forward phase.
