Highlights

Trades only the clear breakouts

Checks the wind first (Kaze)

Trades only when the market has energy, skipping breakouts in quiet hours. On by default

How it works

  1. Daily levels: each day Hayate marks a Buy level and a Sell level that only a clear break out of gold's normal daily range can reach.
  2. Entry: Hayate trades the first clear break of either level that day.
  3. With the long-term trend (100 days): it buys only while gold is in a long-term uptrend and sells only in a downtrend. The side against the trend is skipped for the day.
  4. Kaze (wind) filter, on by default: the market must be at least as active as normal for that time of day. Breakouts in a quiet market are skipped.
  5. Stop loss: sized from the market's volatility, on every trade.
  6. Exit:
    • No fixed take profit.
    • The trade stays open until it hits its stop loss or has been held for one trading day, then it closes.
  7. Risk: one trade at a time, with the lot size calculated from a % of your balance.

Risk controls

  • Hard stop loss on every trade
  • One trade at a time, held for one trading day at most
  • Trades only with the long-term trend
  • Kaze filter (on by default)
  • Risk-based lot size with margin and volume checks
  • Optional: equity take profit (close all), profit-target stop, emergency drawdown cut, daily SL / TP hit limits

Features

  • Real-time dashboard:
    • Today's Buy / Sell levels and the status of each side (including a side skipped as against the trend)
    • Kaze (wind) level
    • Open trade and the days left before the time exit
    • 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 Buy / Sell 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.
  • Aggressive risk: the equity drawdown reached about 46% over 23 years. Use it only with money you can afford to lose.
  • Small balances:
    • Hayate'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.
    • 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).
  • Swap: a trade can be held overnight (one trading day at most), so your broker's swap affects the result.
  • VPS: recommended.

Things to know

  • It has losing years: 5 of 24 on the Default preset, the deepest in 2003 (−9.2%).
  • Losing runs happen: a breakout bot can lose several trades in a row before a big day pays for them.
  • 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 comfortable holding a trade overnight
  • Traders who want a bot that trades differently from short-term strategies

  • Frequency: about 1.5 trades per week on average.
  • Win rate: about 42%, with winners about 1.8 times the size of the losers. At that ratio, winning about 35% of trades breaks even.
  • Best years: 2013 (+44.4%), 2020 (+32.0%) and 2025 (+29.9%).
  • Reading the 23-year figures: they compound over 23 years. Read them with the profit factor, the drawdown and the 2024–2026 test.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Hayate different from the other CLOUDPips bots?

Hayate trades daily breakouts: it only enters on days gold breaks out of its normal range with the big trend, and holds one trading day at most.

  • Hayate is ready to use: load a preset and choose only the risk %. It's for traders who want to catch the days gold runs
  • Unlike Kumo, which can follow a trend for days, Hayate holds no more than a day
  • Unlike Asahi, which trades within the day with the Asian session's direction, Hayate waits for a break of the day's range and can hold overnight
  • It runs alongside every bot; with Sora it has the lowest correlation of any pair (0.16)

See every bot side by side: Compare strategies.

Does Hayate 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 only trades the days gold breaks out with the big trend.

From the 2003–2026 backtest of Default.set (1% risk per trade):

  • About 42% of trades win, and winners are about 1.8 times the size of losers
  • Equity fell by up to 22.72% at its worst

Past results don't guarantee future results. See the Risk Warning.

How deep can Hayate's drawdown go?

From the MT5 backtests over 2003–2026:

  • Default.set (1%): equity fell by up to 22.72% at its worst
  • Aggressive.set (2%): equity fell by up to 45.92% at its worst; use it only with money you can afford to lose

Over 2024–2026, Default.set fell by up to 28.20%. 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 Hayate 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 Kaze on.

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 Hayate page, and how to read the numbers is in Reading the backtest numbers.

Can I run Hayate 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 only trades the days gold breaks out of its daily range, 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 Hayate detects your broker's time zone by itself and follows daylight-saving changes. Server_GMT_Offset is used only in a backtest: attach Hayate 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:

  1. Usually: remove the EA from the old account's chart; the key frees up at once. Then attach the EA on the new account.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
