Copy a gold system that manages its own risk.
HFTGold trades one symbol, brackets the market either way, and closes each cycle inside hard caps. You copy it from your own account — nothing to install.
The broker keeps the scorecard.
Every trade is recorded on our public CopyFX page at RoboForex — equity curve, drawdown, subscribers. Published by them, not screenshotted by us.

What "average day" means
Around 1% per trading day, compounded — roughly $10–14 on a $1,000 cent account. That's the record divided by the days it took, not a target. Some days return nothing; some sit in open drawdown while a grid works back.
Read the drawdown first
On a grid system it's the number that matters most — it's what you'd have had to sit through. If it would keep you awake, no return figure should change your mind.
Three steps, about ten minutes.
Copying runs on the broker's side. Nothing installs, nothing stays running on your machine.

Why a cent account
HFTGold is sized for a $100,000 balance. A Pro Cent account reads your $1,000 as 100,000 cents — same trades, same proportions, one percent of the capital. Set leverage to 1:2000 or copies will fail.
Two rules that break people
Don't subscribe with "copy open trades" on — you'd inherit a half-finished basket. And keep your free margin intact; withdrawing mid-cycle shrinks the buffer the recovery needs.
Six modules. One instrument.
HFTGold doesn't forecast gold. It reacts to it — entering, recovering and protecting capital as one coordinated core.
Straddle entry
A BuyStop and SellStop bracket the market. Whichever fills first owns the cycle; the other cancels instantly. No direction call.
Adaptive grid
If price runs against the fill, measured levels are added at tuned spacing and the weighted take-profit is recalculated each time.
Equity kill-switch
Tracks peak equity and stays armed at all times. Cross your drawdown limit and every position and pending is flattened.
Market regime filter
ADX, MA slope, ATR bands and breakout detection can each block a new cycle. Trending, violent markets are where grids die.
Basket guards
Hard ceilings on grid levels, total lots and floating loss per side, plus a watchdog that flattens if positions close unexpectedly.
News & rollover pause
A live economic-calendar feed pauses new trades around high-impact releases, and pendings are pulled through daily rollover.
Most EAs bolt risk on afterwards.
Ours is built the other way round. Every cycle runs inside independent safeguards.
Equity kill-switch
Your hard floor. Cross the drawdown limit and everything closes — no discretion, no waiting for a better price.
Basket caps
Exposure can't snowball. The maximum size a basket can reach is fixed before the cycle starts.
News filter
Gold moves fastest around high-impact releases. The engine pauses rather than trading through them.
Our honest take on grid trading
HFTGold adds to a losing side. That's what a grid does, and there's no point dressing it up: high strike rate, long runs of winning cycles, punctuated by drawdowns deeper and longer than the smooth stretches suggest.
The danger isn't the grid — it's an uncapped grid left to average down until one trend takes the account. Ours is capped in three places with the kill-switch above all of it.
That buys a bounded worst case, not the absence of one. Judge it on the drawdown you can see, and assume a worse one is possible. If you can't live with that, don't copy it.
You inherit our uptime for free.
The engine manages a live grid tick by tick, so we run it on a low-latency VPS beside the broker — never a desktop. As a copier, nothing runs on your machine at all.
Always on
24/5, never misses a tick. No closed laptop, no forced update, no gap in supervision while a basket is open.
Tighter fills
Hosted next to the broker's servers, orders reach the market in milliseconds — less slippage on entries and exits.
Stable by design
A dedicated machine removes the internet, power and hardware failures the strategy can't control.
Straight answers.
What exactly am I signing up to?
Your own RoboForex account, in your name, holding your own money. You subscribe to HFTGold through CopyFX and our trades mirror into your account, scaled to your balance. We never touch your funds and can't withdraw from your account.
Do I need MT5, a VPS or any software?
No. Copying runs on the broker's servers. The VPS matters for the master account — that's our problem, not yours.
Pro Cent or Pro — which account?
Pro Cent, for almost everyone. The strategy is sized for a $100,000 balance, and a cent account mirrors that with a $1,000 deposit. Open a standard Pro account only if you're funding the full $100,000. Both need MT5, not MT4.
1:2000 leverage sounds terrifying. Is it?
Leverage sets the maximum position you could take, not the one the engine takes — exposure is governed by its own lot caps. The 1:2000 setting gives the grid margin headroom so later levels aren't rejected. Set it lower and copies fail mid-recovery, which is the worst possible moment. That said, high leverage does mean a margin call arrives fast if the caps and kill-switch are ever both overrun.
What does it cost me?
Nothing up front. We take a share of profits set on the CopyFX page (see the rating page), charged only on profitable results. Normal spreads and swaps apply. We also earn commission from RoboForex on volume from accounts opened via our link — see the disclosure below.
Is this a martingale?
No, but it's related, so it deserves a real answer. A martingale multiplies size after each loss with no ceiling. HFTGold adds measured levels at tuned spacing with hard caps on levels, lots and floating loss, plus the kill-switch above it. The recovery is bounded — which isn't the same as safe.
Why only gold?
Grid spacing, volatility bands, news windows and rollover behaviour are specific to one instrument's character. A system spread across twenty symbols is tuned properly for none of them.
What happens in a strong trend?
Ideally nothing — the regime filter blocks new cycles. If a trend develops after one opens, the grid recovers into it up to its caps; if the drawdown limit hits first, the kill-switch closes the basket at a loss. Losses are real and they do happen.
Can I stop or withdraw?
Any time — it's your account. Unsubscribe in CopyFX and copying stops. Where you can, exit after a basket closes rather than during one, since closing mid-basket crystallises a floating loss the cycle was built to recover.
Can you guarantee returns?
No, and anyone who does is lying to you. Past performance doesn't predict future performance, and the published drawdown is the worst we've had so far — not the worst possible. This is information, not investment advice.

Trading leveraged gold carries a high risk of loss. Past results do not predict future results. Only trade money you can afford to lose.
