Which bot is for me?
Answer a few short questions and we'll put together a bot portfolio that fits the way you trade.
Role in a portfolio
All-in-one core
Breakout and trend-following in one bot. It can hold several trades at once, so total risk is higher. Don't run it with Kumo on the same account.
Steady breakout
Trades about once a week and rides each breakout until the move runs out.
Trend follower
Trades only with the bigger trend. It does best in years when gold trends strongly, and can be flat or down in years without one.

Intraday to swing
Takes part of the profit early, lets the rest run
Trail + partial
Breakout trades trail the trend with no fixed take profit; trend trades take part of the profit early, then trail
Trailing stop
No fixed take profit: the trade closes when the trend turns against it
Partial close
Part of the profit is taken early, the stop moves to break-even, the rest is trailed
Volatility-based
A hard stop loss from the moment each trade opens

Every bot has losing streaks, even in years that end in profit. Knowing the longest one in the test helps you prepare and set a risk you can live with. A future streak can be longer.

Best for
Beginners who want one bot that does it all, with nothing to configure. It can hold several trades at once, so total risk is higher: start at Default 1% or lower, and don't run it with Kumo or Sora on the same account, since their main entries are already inside Hoshi.
Tuners who want less risk than Hoshi. Adjust the timeframe, stops and filters, then backtest your own version before going live. About one trade a week; the win rate is under 40%, but the average winner is about 2.3 × the average loser. Pairs with Sora; don't run it with Hoshi.
Trend followers building a portfolio of several bots who prefer few trades. Tune the timeframes, filters and exits yourself. It must sit through quiet or losing years to catch the years when gold trends strongly. Pairs with Kumo; don't run it with Hoshi.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Don't run Hoshi with Kumo or Sora on the same account: their main entries are already inside Hoshi.
