XAUBOT v2
Automated XAU/USD trading bot on MetaTrader 5 + Python with live Flask dashboard. First profitable version: +$160 over 50 trades at 52% win rate.
Building a consistently profitable algorithmic trading bot for XAU/USD on FTMO prop firm demo accounts. V1 was net negative — the bot fired trades against the trend due to a critical inversion bug in the H1 trend filter, costing weeks of P&L before diagnosis.
Rewrote the entry logic with a corrected H1 trend filter as the primary gating condition, added an asymmetric SHORT bias boost (+15/−5), introduced a break-even trigger at 0.90, and built a real-time Flask dashboard at localhost:5000 for live monitoring. V2 shipped May 2026 as the first profitable iteration.
