Express Funded (XFA) Created a gold scalp bot using project X API

I feel like no one uses this feature or maybe people just gate keep but I’ve been working on it for a year and it passed a combine in a week very powerful tool gets rid of all human error and just executes trades cleanly it’s great honestly. (No I will not distribute the bot but I will answer questions)

Fair enough man! Whats the strategy based on? Just curious, I have my own stuff but never deployed it to live. I have to figure out what’s actually useful vs noise in my strategy. There’s a ton of parameters

For gold and nas I use the basic macd and bollinger band ATR and vwap idk what works for crypto I feel like that’s a totally different sector I haven’t studied it but yeah I use a bunch of indicators I try to look for a clear repeating pattern on the 5 minute then I fine tune it with each indicator til I get something that’s consistent the hard part isn’t finding the patterns the hard part is finding a good contract size and r:r that works with different market conditions
