Pegasus Gold — verifiable 11-strategy XAUUSD portfolio cBot for cTrader
Pegasus Gold Pegasus Series
A diversified XAUUSD book, built to compound.
Why it adds value
It's not a promise: it's a cTrader-native backtest (m1, real commission and swap) you reproduce yourself, with a free edition to verify it before paying. Proof over promises.
Verifiable and reproducible
Every Store figure redraws in your own cTrader with the exact recipe. A free backtest-only edition lets you check it on your broker's costs without paying.
A book, not a single bet
11 decorrelated strategies on XAUUSD in a single cBot — diversified by behaviour (trend, breakout, momentum, mean-reversion, volatility, seasonal), each isolated by its label.
Integrated money management
Position sizing, per-asset & global risk caps and a 25% drawdown guard baked in. Sell it as Compound; the risk layer ships calibrated.
Backtest↔live parity
The same signal engine in backtest and live. The anti-copy uniqueness (60–120 s jitter) acts only on live/demo, never in backtest: you reproduce the exact figure.
Watch it in action
A full walkthrough in cTrader's own backtester — install the free edition, set the period, hit run, and reproduce the exact numbers yourself.
Opens on YouTube (channel @realbacktesting).
Strategies — composition
11 decorrelated sleeves on ONE market, each isolated by its label. We show the behaviour family and timeframe — enough to understand the book, without revealing the alpha.
What stays proprietary: the entry/exit rules, the indicators and their parameters, the thresholds, the stops/targets and the exact per-sleeve weights are not published. The above is portfolio context, not a copyable recipe.
Money management — built in
The strategies find the entries; the money-management layer decides how much lives and dies on each one. It ships calibrated to reproduce the published figure.
Contained drawdown
Max equity drawdown held to −8.85% across the 2024–2026 backtest, with a configurable 25% drawdown guard as the hard ceiling.
Per-sleeve ATR trail & breakeven
Each sleeve manages its own exit: an ATR-scaled trail locks in a winner and a breakeven move takes risk off once a trade is working.
Asset & global risk caps
A per-asset cap stops the book concentrating risk; a global cap bounds the summed risk-to-stop across every open position.
Additive or Compound
Ship it Additive for a steady band, or Compound to let the account grow the size — the growth mode the headline uses.
The whole risk layer is exposed as parameters. Keep the defaults and you reproduce the published figure. See every configurable parameter →
Free edition (backtest-only)
The paid cBot has a free “Backtesting only” twin: the identical full portfolio — same strategies, engine, parameters and parity — compiled with a lock.
- The cTrader Backtester and Optimizer run the FULL logic → you reproduce every published figure on your own broker's costs before paying.
- In real time (live and demo) the free edition prints a notice and stops: it cannot place a single order.
- It's a try-before-you-buy funnel published as a separate €0 Store product; the paid edition unlocks live/demo trading.
Quick usage manual
From install to reproducing the published figure.
Verify first with the free edition
Install the Pegasus Gold — Backtesting only (free) edition and run the Backtester with the recipe: m1 (opening prices) · additive base 80,000 · commission auto · your broker's spread. You should see a figure in the neighbourhood of the published one.
Buy and install the full edition
Add Pegasus Gold (from 165€) from the cTrader Store to your account.
Attach to ONE chart
The cBot manages its timeframes (H1–D1) internally. Attach it to a single H1 chart of XAUUSD; it opens the rest.
Check the symbol mapping
Gold is XAUUSD on virtually every broker, so no mapping is needed. If yours uses a suffix, set it in Symbol overrides; it auto-maps raw/ECN suffixes.
Account and sizing
Works on any standard/live account in EUR or USD. Default: Compound sizing with an 80,000 base. Adjust Initial balance or the Risk scale for your account size.
Pick the preset (optional)
Leave the shipped preset, or read the parameters page to understand every guard before you touch a dial.
Honest notes
- Figures are a cTrader-native backtest over 2024–2026 (m1, real commission and swap, FP Markets' live spread), reproducible in your cTrader. See proof →
- Costs vary between brokers — your spread, swap and commission won't match FP Markets to the decimal. Verify with the free edition on your own account before you buy.
- This is a retail, real-money product — not a prop challenge. There is no FTMO rule set to breach; you run it on your own capital.
- Gold has been in a strong bull regime over 2024–2026 — a 2.5-year window is shorter than our 5-year prop backtests, and past performance never guarantees the future.
- The anti-copy uniqueness (60–120 s jitter) acts only on live/demo, never in backtest → you reproduce the exact figure.
