Edamame is a software automation platform that connects to an MT5 broker account and executes gold trading strategies automatically according to predefined parameters.
Gold trading carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all individuals. You may lose some or all of the money you invest.
Automation does not remove the possibility of financial loss. No trading strategy can predict market movements with certainty.
Past performance, including backtested results and historical data, is not indicative of future results.
Nothing on the platform, website or in any Edamame communication constitutes financial advice, investment advice or a personal recommendation.
Leverage can magnify losses as well as gains. Available leverage depends on the broker and account type.
The gold market can be affected by macroeconomic data, interest rates, geopolitics, the US dollar, liquidity and unexpected news events.
VPS downtime, MT5 connection issues, internet outages or platform maintenance may affect execution.
Your funds are held by your broker, not by Edamame. Broker insolvency, account restrictions, margin calls and execution issues remain broker-related risks.
Edamame does not guarantee any specific outcome, return or profit.
Important information before running the algorithm
The broker sets a minimum trade size. On accounts below approximately $2,000, some of the algorithm’s trades are calculated smaller than that minimum. Depending on configuration, the algorithm will then either (a) SKIP those trades — so the account trades only part of the strategy and results differ from the published record; (b) place the broker’s MINIMUM size — so those trades RISK MORE than the agreed percentage, up to roughly twice the setting; or (c) SHORTEN THE STOP DISTANCE so the dollar risk stays exactly at the setting — which places the stop closer than the strategy’s design and causes more trades to be stopped out by ordinary market movement. All three behaviours change results versus the published record. None of them can be avoided while the account is below the threshold: they are consequences of the broker’s minimum volume, not of the algorithm. The recommended minimum account is $2,000 (or the equivalent on a micro account), at which the strategy runs essentially complete and unmodified.
All published figures come from replaying the broker’s historical prices through the algorithm and from MetaTrader strategy-tester runs under demo conditions. They are not live results. Past performance, whether simulated, tested or live, does not guarantee future results. The worst outcomes in the record are not the worst outcomes possible.
At the recommended settings the historical record includes an equity drawdown of about 31%, a losing year, roughly one losing month in three, and a stretch of 19 months without a new account high. A prudent plan assumes about 40% of equity and up to two years without a new high. Anyone unable or unwilling to sit through that should not run the algorithm.
With risk set as a percentage of equity, both the profits and the drawdowns grow with the account. A 30% dip on a grown account is a much larger dollar amount than on the starting balance. Raising the risk settings multiplies drawdowns faster than profits; historically, holding 2% or more per trade while compounding destroyed the account. Risk settings raised for a small account must be stepped back down as the balance grows.
Live results will differ from tested results due to slippage, requotes, spread widening, order refusals during the broker’s daily maintenance window, platform or connection outages, and changes the broker may make to contract specifications, minimum and maximum volumes, leverage, margin or overnight financing. Some tested trades will be missed live and some live fills will be worse than tested.
Trading leveraged gold can result in losses exceeding the amount you planned to risk and, in extreme conditions, the loss of the entire account balance. The platform’s margin call and stop-out act on equity and can close positions at a loss without notice. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.
The algorithm executes a fixed set of trading rules. Nothing in its operation, documentation or marketing material is investment advice or a promise of profit. The decision to run it, the choice of account size, broker and risk settings, and all resulting gains and losses are solely the account holder’s responsibility.
