The Backtest Edition won’t start on dates before 2025, with a deposit under $200, or on a live/demo chart. FBS is not licensed to take clients in Europe (EU/UK brokers need an ESMA/FCA licence), so if you are in Europe use any regulated MT5 broker whose XAUUSD spread stays under 30 points. A backtest is a simulation on historical data — not a promise of future results; real accounts face spreads, slippage and broker conditions.

Under the hood

How it works. Six moments a day.

The exact windows, filters and parameters are the product — publish them and the edge dies. But you shouldn’t have to buy a black box on faith either. So here is how it thinks, honestly, minus the numbers.

01

It trades the world’s gold sessions

Gold moves in bursts around the big trading sessions: Asia, London and New York. Speedmax watches six key moments across those sessions — and does nothing in between. No trading for the sake of trading.

02

It reads the previous hour before it acts

At each moment it looks at how price behaved over the previous hour and checks which way the day is leaning. Only when both line up does it trade. If they don't, it sits out — more patience than most of us.

03

Zero to six trades a day, one per setup

Some days it takes nothing. On an average day, about two. Never more than one trade per setup — there is no second attempt, no chasing, no revenge trade.

04

The stop loss goes in from the first second

Every trade opens with its stop loss already placed, sized to how much the market is moving right now. The lot size is calculated automatically, so every trade risks the same percentage of your account — decided before it begins, never negotiated after.

05

No martingale. No grid. No averaging down.

A loss is a loss, capped at what you chose to risk. The robot never doubles up to “win it back”, never stacks positions, never adds to a loser. The account-killers are simply not in the code.

06

No fixed take profit. Winners are left to run

Once a trade is in profit by one to two times what it risked, a trailing stop locks in the gain and follows price. Losses are capped at what you chose to risk; winners run as far as the market takes them.

That's the how. The exact when — the parameters — live inside the robot.

Put it on your chart
Risk, in plain sight

The rules it never breaks.

A hard stop loss on every trade. Placed the moment the trade opens. Never widened, never removed.

Every trade risks the same fixed percentage of your account. Lot size is calculated automatically, so a loss is the same size on day one and day one hundred. No martingale, no grid, no averaging down.

No profit promises. Anyone promising you a monthly return is selling a story. We sell software.
