How to design algorithms that incorporate XAU/USD signals, including data sources, feature engineering, and risk controls.

Data and features

  • Price action features: momentum, volatility, structural breaks.
  • Macro features: yields, CPI surprises, DXY movements.

Model selection

  • Rule-based filters for regime detection, then ML models for entry sizing.
  • Use cross-validation and walk-forward analysis.

Risk and latency

  • For H1 and above, prioritize robustness over micro-latency.
  • Apply conservative leverage and ensemble signals for stability.
