Transparent Gold Signals from a Rule-Based XAUUSD System
Gold Quant Lab runs a rule-based XAUUSD strategy on a simulated account and publishes every decision it makes — the signals it takes, the setups it refuses, how each stop was moved, and what each trade finally returned. Nothing is selected after the fact.

Why this record is unusual
Most published trading signals are a list of winners. This one is a journal. The engine writes an append-only, hash-chained record of every evaluation it performs; the website is a read-only view over that record, republished every few seconds. That means the losing trades are here, the refused setups are here, and the trades that gave profit back are here with the number that shows it.
- Every signal is timestamped at decision time. The written reason is generated from what the system knew when it decided, and is sealed — it cannot be rewritten later to match the outcome.
- Refusals are published too. Setups that failed a gate appear with the gate that stopped them, because what a system declines to trade is part of its behaviour.
- Results are measured in R, the trade's own risk unit, so a result does not depend on account size or lot size.
- Simulated, and labelled as such, everywhere.

Simulated-account statistics — not proof of future profitability. This is a young forward record and the sample is small. Read it as evidence about behaviour, not as a forecast.
