GoldBurst-15min · Gold DayTrade Session Burst Strategy

l’altro ieri

What makes it original & useful
Session micro-structure edge – exploits two well-documented volatility pockets in spot gold:
• NY futures pit open (13:05-13:35 UTC)
• London 15 h fix (14:45-15:15 UTC)

Adaptive confirmation stack
Daily-anchored VWAP to locate fair value.
Real-time volume-spike filter (live vs. 20-bar median) to catch crowd surges.
60 min EMA slope for higher-TF trend bias (no look-ahead).
Risk in context – ATR-scaled stops/targets + bars-held timer flatten positions before liquidity evaporates.
Clean visual dashboard – live window status & bias label; uncluttered chart footprint.


How the logic fires
Step Long setup (mirror for shorts)
1 Inside active session window.
2 Volume ≥ median × Vol Spike input (default = 1.3).
3 60 m EMA rising.
4 Price closes > VWAP + 0.5 × ATR ⇒ market order next bar.
5 Exit at 1.6 × ATR TP, 0.8 × ATR SL or after 2 bars (~30 min).

Max 2 trades per window; flat outside windows.

Key inputs
Input Purpose Default
ATR Length Volatility base 20
TP / SL × ATR Reward / risk 1.6 / 0.8
Volume Spike × Median Crowd filter 1.3

How to use it
Load on a 15 min XAUUSD chart set to UTC.
Keep default Inputs first; tweak ATR multiples or volume factor only after validating.
Combine with macro or DXY overlays to avoid trading into major news spikes.

Limitations & risk notice
Designed for spot gold only; other metals require re-tuning.
Highly dependent on tight spreads during bursts—use an ECN broker.
Past performance ≠ future results; test forward on demo before going live.
