Two ways to work gold.
Or run all three together.
Yukon runs three engines on XAUUSD: the original Grid, plus a Pattern Long and a Pattern Short. Version 3.0 adds the layer above them: a daily market-state read (trend, transition, range, volatility) that decides when pattern entries are worth taking and when standing aside earns more.
Hard equity cap on every basket, live protection around USD news, all positions closed flat each Friday for a clean weekend, linear exposure in straight steps. A gold EA you can actually leave running.
Validated and live-traded on IC Markets EU. Reproduces published numbers most closely on LMAX-aggregated brokers (IC, FBS, Pepperstone, Tickmill, Vantage, ThinkMarkets and similar). Works on any XAUUSD broker, with different specific trades and equally positive expectancy on bank-direct feeds (JFD, Dukascopy, Saxo). MetaTrader 5, hedging account.
Worst case =
the number you set.
Every gold-grid EA gets the same question on day one: will this blow my account? In Yukon, the answer is built into the design. Your account has a ceiling you set yourself, and Yukon respects it on every tick.
- You pick a share of your balance as the cap. The default is 10%, validated on years of gold data.
- That share is the maximum floating loss any basket may carry, ever.
- Reach the cap and Yukon closes the basket the same tick. Every time.
- Worst case is exactly the number you chose, guaranteed by design.
In 30+ months of real-tick validation across calm markets, trending years and sharp corrections, the 10% default held with comfortable headroom in every regime.
v1.0 was a grid. v2.0 added patterns. 3.0 teaches them to read the market first.
Two claims, one EA.
You pick how to work them.
Yukon launched as a disciplined gold grid: enters with momentum, averages adverse moves with flat lots, exits the basket at a calculated profit. That suits traders who like a high-win-rate engine that earns its way out of pullbacks.
v2.0 added two Pattern engines next to the Grid, each with a clean 1:4 risk-reward and percent-of-balance sizing. 3.0 completes the picture: Pattern Long now runs multiple internal setups in one hierarchy behind a single switch, and every pattern entry is measured against the daily market state first. High-volatility directionless phases, the kind that historically cost the most, Yukon now avoids on its own. Run only the Grid. Run only the Patterns. Run all three together. Every combination is real-tick validated across years of broker tick data.
Ride the move,
bank the recovery.
Yukon works a single field, XAUUSD, and it works it well. It reads momentum on gold and enters in the direction of the push during its active hours. As price ebbs against the entry, Yukon adds at a steady, even spacing, lowers its average and sets up a clean exit. Once gold recovers past that average, the whole basket closes. Every leg is the same size. Linear exposure in straight steps, with risk you can chart in advance.
The part the others skip.
This is what makes Yukon a disciplined tool. Five guards run on every trade, around the clock. The first is the one that matters most.
The market-state layer
Yukon reads the gold market's state every day: trend, transition, range, volatility. When the daily range stretches beyond its normal regime, new baskets pause and open ones stop adding legs. And since 3.0, pattern entries only happen when the state favours them, including dip windows in confirmed downtrends that simpler filters block. What wipes gold robots out is trading every phase the same way. Yukon does not.
Equity cap
You set a share of your balance as the line a basket must stay below. Reach it and Yukon closes the basket itself, before a bad run becomes a bad day. The default cap of 10% has stayed well clear in over two years of validation.
Live news protection
Yukon pulls a curated feed of high-impact USD events and stands every open basket down in the window around each release. Every news spike meets Yukon with closed baskets.
Weekend flat
Yukon stands down before the close on Friday and carries nothing through the weekend gap. Monday opens with a fresh state.
Straight-line exposure
Flat lots, even spacing. The grid that recovers your basket is calculable. Linear exposure throughout.
Built and validated on years of real tick gold data: calm markets, trending years, sharp corrections. What you see is measured against how gold actually moved. Pure real-tick truth.
Yukon keeps growing
Every release builds on the research of the one before. Every customer gets every update at no extra cost. This is what continuous development looks like.
Three engines, your choice
Yukon 3.0 runs three engines on XAUUSD: the original Grid, plus Pattern Long and Pattern Short, all governed by the market-state layer. Switch each on or off. The numbers below come from a continuous real-tick backtest, January 2025 to June 2026.

The original Yukon. Conservative profile.
All-In Combined
Grid + Pattern Long + Pattern Short. Maximum edge.
Real-tick backtest, January 2025 to June 2026, XAUUSD, Yukon 3.0. Pattern Short requires a hedging account. Backtest results, not live trading. Past results do not guarantee future returns. The live track record is being built now.
Three brokers. Running live since launch.
Before we scale up our own capital, Yukon runs forward on three independent terminals under different conditions: two demo accounts and one real cent account, on three different price feeds. That is the same staged approach we recommend to every buyer. All three finished the first month positive.

Real · CentWhy do the three differ? Yukon’s pattern entries are strict geometric definitions, and brokers quote highs and lows a few cents apart. On borderline bars that difference decides whether a trade fires, so trade counts diverge between feeds and even out over time.
First month of a live forward test, updated monthly. Small sample, shown anyway: you should see what we see. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Set it once,
grow with your account.
Tell Yukon how much to trade per ten thousand of balance. It scales every position to your account automatically. The same risk profile holds whether you run it on a small or a large account. Prefer a fixed lot? One switch. The equity cap is set as a percent, so it scales with you too.
Yukon is built for a regular retail account at the regulated 1:30 leverage, the European standard, and that is exactly how its numbers were measured. From around $2,000 it runs the full grid comfortably. That is the honest trade-off: a real account instead of the 1:500 micro-accounts others need to show extreme growth curves, where the curve is the leverage, not the edge.
Your claim, at a glance.
Floating result, the day's P/L, live drawdown against your cap as a bar. Green, then amber, then red as it approaches the line. Below it, the open basket, a live performance record and the auto-trading status. Light and dark themes, a panel zoom, live on the chart and right inside the visual Strategy Tester.
Early certainty costs less
than late certainty.
Yukon prices along its proof. The first month of live results is public, and the price moved with it: the first step followed the first published month. Buying earlier means less proof for less money; buying later means more proof for more money. Both are fair deals, and every owner keeps every future update for free.

Answer the call.
Work the claim.
For the trader who feels the pull of gold and wants to answer it with a plan: ride the move, work the basket, and keep the downside on a number they chose.
Yukon trades XAUUSD (gold) on a live XAUUSD chart in MetaTrader 5, on a hedging account (the standard MT5 account type for grid strategies; on a netting account the legs merge into one position and Yukon flags it on attach). The visual Strategy Tester lets you watch the performance build live. All trading carries risk. Yukon caps each basket at the share of equity you set and stays flat over the weekend as well as around major USD news. Trading still carries risk, and past results do not guarantee future returns. Start on a demo account and size to a level you are comfortable with.
