[FAQ] An Introduction to Our 4 Core Automated Trading Strategies**
Welcome to the indigoTrader community! A key part of our forum is the discussion around our suite of automated trading strategies, specifically designed for the Forex and Gold markets. Of course, we also support all Forex Pairs.
To help you get oriented, here is a breakdown of the four core strategies we focus on. Understanding these will help you navigate the discussions, analyse performance, and see which systems might align with your trading goals.
**1. INDIGOSTRADER.com - Strategy one: The Trend Rider Gold Scalper** * **Market Focus:** Major Forex Pairs (XAU/USD) * **Core Logic:** This is a trend-following system with a very short Take Profit. It uses a combination of moving averages and momentum indicators to identify and ride established market trends. It aims to capture large portions of a trend and uses a very short Take Profit to lock in profits. * **Best For:** Traders who are looking for consistent profit in the Gold Market. The return of this Strategy is highly recommended.
**2. INDIGOSTRADER.com - Strategy two: The Gold Sentinel** * **Market Focus:** XAU/USD (Gold vs. US Dollar) * **Core Logic:** A volatility-based system specifically tuned for Gold. It thrives in ranging or consolidating markets, using mean-reversion principles to buy near support and sell near resistance. It places a high priority on risk-adjusted returns. * **Best For:** Traders looking for non-Forex diversification and a system designed to perform well in different market conditions than trend-followers.
**3. INDIGOSTRADER.com - Strategy three: The Scalper's Edge** * **Market Focus:** High-Liquidity Gold Market. * **Core Logic:** This is a short-term, high-frequency scalping strategy. It operates on timeframes (e.g., M15) to capture small, quick profits from minor price movements. It typically has a very high win rate but a smaller risk-reward ratio per trade. * **Best For:** Traders with a higher risk tolerance who are comfortable with a higher trade frequency and seek consistent, smaller gains.
**4. INDIGOSTRADER.com - Strategy FOUR: The Session Surfer** * **Market Focus:** This is an index-focused strategy here we trade DE40Chash. * **Core Logic:** This strategy exploits the increased volatility and typical price action during specific market opening hours. It is only active during pre-defined sessions and uses breakout and volume-based algorithms to enter trades. Of course, we are AI-based Trading Expert * **Best For:** Traders who understand the unique characteristics of different market sessions and want a system that isn't active 24/5.
**Q: Where can I find the live performance results for these strategies?** A: You can find detailed live track records, including equity curves, drawdowns, and performance metrics, in the dedicated "**Strategy Performance & Track Records**" section of the forum (MyFXBook LINKS available).
**Q: Can I use these strategies on my own broker?** A: Our strategies are primarily built for MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platforms. You can open an account at our Copy Trading Broker - the details will come in the near future if we trade on live accounts ... at the moment we are only trading Demo accounts **Q: I'm new to automated trading. Where should I start?** A: We recommend starting in the "**Education & Getting Started**" section. Begin by understanding the core logic of each strategy, assessing your own risk tolerance, and always running a system on a demo account before going live.
**Q: How can I get help or discuss a specific strategy?** A: Each strategy has its own dedicated discussion thread in the main forum. Please post your questions, ideas, and optimisation suggestions in the relevant thread so all members can benefit from the discussion.
We encourage you to explore, ask questions, and share your own experiences. Happy trading!
