Kumo Presets Compared (Default, Aggressive)
Kumo comes with two presets (.set files). All of them run the same strategy — breakouts on gold (XAUUSD), with a stop loss on every trade and a trailing stop that lets winners run. The only difference is the risk per trade, which changes how much your account swings.

What's in each file
| Input | What it does | Default.set | Aggressive.set |
|---|---|---|---|
RiskPercent |
Risk per trade (% of balance) | 1.0 | 2.0 |
| Strategy settings (breakout levels, stop loss, trailing stop) | The settings behind the backtests | Same | Same |
Fixed_Lot / Max_Lot |
Fixed lot / lot cap (0 = off) | 0 / 0 | 0 / 0 |
Enable_DrawdownCut |
Emergency cut at a set drawdown | Off | Off |
- Aggressive.set is Default.set at twice the risk, so every win and every loss is twice as big.

Before you choose
- Past results are not a forecast. Live results depend on your broker, spreads and the market.
- Drawdowns are what you'll actually live through. Over 2003–2026, Aggressive.set took equity down by about 50% at its worst. Make sure you could hold on through that.
- Most of Kumo's profit comes from a few big trends. Fewer than 4 in 10 trades win, and losing streaks are normal for a breakout system.
- You can change RiskPercent after loading. The panel's Preset line then shows Custom. Higher risk means deeper drawdowns — see Reading Backtest Numbers.
