Strategies Info
CLOUDPips Asahi is a day-trading robot for gold (XAUUSD) on standard and cent accounts. Asahi ("morning sun") trades the hand-over from the Asian session to London and New York. If gold has already moved clearly during the Asian session, Asahi follows that direction for the rest of the day, and it is always flat before the daily rollover.

How it works
- Asian-session direction: before London opens, Asahi checks whether gold has made a clear move since the start of the trading day.
- Entry:
- If the move is clear, Asahi trades in that direction.
- If not, there is no trade that day.
- Stop loss: volatility-based, on every trade.
- Exit: no fixed take profit. A trailing stop follows the move and closes the trade when it turns.
- Day close: any trade still open is closed before the daily rollover. No overnight positions, no swap.
- Risk: at most one trade per day, with the lot size calculated from a % of your balance.
Expect a win rate of around 41%, with winners about 1.7 times the size of the losers. At that ratio, winning about 37% of trades breaks even.
Why the Kaze filter is off by default
- Asahi enters at a set time, not on a breakout, so the market's "wind" at the moment of entry does not help it pick better trades.
- The filter is built in and can be switched on in the inputs.
Risk controls
- Hard stop loss on every trade
- Every trade closed before the daily rollover: no overnight positions
- At most one trade per day
- Risk-based lot size with margin and volume checks
- Optional: Kaze filter, equity take profit (close all), profit-target stop, emergency drawdown cut, daily SL / TP hit limits
Features
- Real-time dashboard:
- Today's status: the move so far, the trade direction and the day's close time
- Preset in use (Default / Aggressive / Custom) and risk per trade
- Balance, equity, floating P/L, gain and max drawdown
- Pause and Close All buttons (Pause is remembered after a restart)
- Today's levels drawn on the chart
- Clear log in the Experts tab: every skipped signal is printed with the reason
- Daily profit withdrawal simulator
- Works on hedging and netting accounts, and on a VPS
Recommended settings
- Symbol: XAUUSD (tested on gold only).
- Chart timeframe: any. We recommend D1: the chart loads fastest and uses the least memory. The bot reads the timeframes it needs internally, so the chart timeframe does not change its trades.
- Broker time zone: detected automatically in live trading, nothing to set. Only for a backtest, set Server_GMT_Offset to your broker's time zone: attach the bot to a live chart once and the Experts tab shows it (for example "detected automatically: GMT+2" means 2).
- Minimum balance: 1,000 USD on a standard account, or 10,000 USC on a cent account.
- Presets:
- Default: RiskPercent = 1.0.
- Aggressive: RiskPercent = 2.0.
- Load either one as a .set file, and leave all other inputs at their defaults.
- Small balances:
- Asahi's stop is wide, so on 1,000 USD it often trades the broker's minimum lot. The real risk per trade can then be higher than the % you set, and Default and Aggressive trade almost the same lot.
- A cent account sizes the lot more precisely.
- Running several CLOUDPips bots or symbols on one account? Lower RiskPercent to 0.5 on each (or to the risk you can accept). Asahi pairs well with the swing bots (Sora, Kumo, Hoshi) because it is never in the market overnight.
- Spread: profit per trade is modest, so use a low-spread broker.
Things to know
- It has losing years: 9 of 24 on the Default preset, most by less than 10%.
- Spread matters: each win is modest, so a low-spread account gets closest to the backtest.
- Your results can differ: your broker's spread, swap and execution change the outcome, and past results don't guarantee future ones.
Who it is for
- Traders who do not want positions open overnight
- Traders who want an intraday bot that complements swing bots in a portfolio

- Realistic spread: every trade is costed with a realistic 24-pip (0.24 USD) spread, the typical spread of a standard account. Many backtests use a much lower spread; ours does not.
- Frequency: about 2 trades per week on average (about 2.5 per week in 2024–2026).
- Default and Aggressive in 2024–2026 are almost identical: on 1,000 USD both presets traded the minimum lot nearly every time.
- Best years: 2026 to date (+32.8%), 2025 (+26.9%) and 2020 (+18.4%).
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Results depend on your broker's spread, swap and execution.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Asahi different from the other CLOUDPips bots?
Sora, Kumo and Hoshi are swing bots: they hold trades for days. Asahi trades within the day: at most one trade a day, and it is always flat before the daily rollover.
That makes it a good partner for a swing bot on the same account.
Does Asahi make money every month?
No one can guarantee a monthly profit: some months win, some lose. But every trade has a stop loss, and it trades at most once a day and closes within the day.
From the 2003–2026 backtest of Default.set (1% risk per trade):
- About 41% of trades win, and winners are about 1.7 times the size of losers
- Equity fell by up to 24.94% at its worst
Past results don't guarantee future results. See the Risk Warning.
How deep can Asahi's drawdown go?
From the MT5 backtests over 2003–2026:
- Default.set (1%): equity fell by up to 24.94% at its worst
- Aggressive.set (2%): equity fell by up to 28.33% at its worst; use it only with money you can afford to lose
Over 2024–2026, Default.set fell by up to 25.14%. In a live account the drawdown can be deeper than in a backtest. If that's more than you can accept, lower RiskPercent, for example to 0.5%. Every figure is in Asahi Presets Compared.
How far can I trust the backtests?
Default.set and Aggressive.set were tested in the MT5 Strategy Tester on real tick data (History Quality 100%) with a realistic 24-pip (0.24 USD) spread, over 2003–2026 (about 23 years) and 2024–2026, with the preset values (Kaze off).
The 23-year figures compound over 23 years as the lot grows with the balance, so they aren't what to expect. Read them with the profit factor, the drawdown and the 2024–2026 results.
Limits to know: a backtest leaves out some real-world events, such as spreads widening on news, slippage or a lost connection, so live results vary with the broker and the spread.
You can test it yourself with the full file, free (see Can I try before I pay?). Every backtest with its charts is in the backtest section of the Asahi page, and how to read the numbers is in Reading the backtest numbers.
Can I run Asahi with another CLOUDPips bot on the same account?
Yes, on a Hedging account. Each bot uses its own Magic Number and License Key and manages only its own trades. It runs alongside every CLOUDPips bot: it trades within the day and never holds overnight, so its timing differs from the others.
The risk adds up: two bots at 1% can have 2% of your balance at risk at the same time, so we suggest RiskPercent 0.5% on each (or the risk you can accept).
See which bots go well together in Bot correlation, and the details in Can I run two CLOUDPips bots on the same account?
Do I need to set my broker's time zone?
No. In live trading Asahi detects your broker's time zone by itself and follows daylight-saving changes. Server_GMT_Offset is used only in a backtest: attach Asahi to a live chart once, and the Experts tab shows the value (for example "detected automatically: GMT+2" means 2).
Renting on cloudpips.io or buying on MQL5 — what's the difference?
The strategy and presets are the same either way. What differs:
| Rent on cloudpips.io | Buy outright on the MQL5 Market | |
|---|---|---|
| What you pay | Per 3, 6 or 12 months, in Thai baht | One payment, in USD |
| Payment | Card or PromptPay | Card or MQL5 balance |
| Accounts and machines | One MT5 account at a time, move it freely | 10 activations counted per computer; used ones don't come back |
| Updates | Download from My licenses while the license is active | Automatic through the MQL5 Market |
The full comparison: Rent or Buy Outright, and Managing Your License.
How many accounts can one license run? Can I move it?
One license runs one MT5 account at a time. To run two accounts at once you need two licenses. If you start the EA on a second account while the first is still running, the second shows IN USE.
You can move it as often as you like — another account, broker or VPS:
- Usually: remove the EA from the old account's chart; the key frees up at once. Then attach the EA on the new account.
- Can't reach the old computer: press Deactivate on that license in My licenses, then press CHECK LICENSE on the EA's panel on the new account.
- VPS down or offline: after 30 minutes the key is released automatically.
Close trades on the old account before moving — trades left open there won't be managed. Details: Move to another account or VPS.
What happens when my license ends?
- The EA's panel shows
EXPIRED - Open trades stay open with their stop loss at the broker; the bot just stops opening new trades, and CLOSE ALL on the panel always works
- Renew in My licenses → Renew with the same key — nothing to change in MT5. The EA starts trading again within 10 minutes (or press CHECK LICENSE to check right away)
- The new time is added after the old end date, or counts from the day you pay if the license had already ended
See Renew and License Status on the Panel.
Can I get a refund?
Payments are final, because the license works the moment you pay. That's why you can backtest the full bot for free first (see Can I try it before I pay?).
The exception: if you were charged twice for one order, email support@cloudpips.io with your 12-digit order number and proof of payment, and we return the duplicate charge. See the refund policy.
