Every year since 2019
The same rules on every year since 2019, each year started from 200,000 USD.
| Year | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Return | +32.84% | +52.40% | +32.78% | +51.12% | +52.39% | +81.45% | +113.65% | +109.08% |
Earlier years returned less mainly because gold moved far less: about 15 USD a day in 2019 against about 124 USD a day in 2026. The strategy works in fixed price steps, so smaller daily moves meant fewer completed cycles.

Prefer to just follow it?

One original. Many look-alikes.
Gold trading bots that look similar are everywhere, and so are screenshots of perfect curves. The idea is easy to copy. The settings are not, and they decide whether an account survives the day the market turns against it.
Every setting was refined over years of testing on every 1-minute candle of gold since 2017. None of it is published, and that is what makes the difference on the days when gold moves hard.
Every figure comes with the original MetaTrader 5 report, and the live account is shared read-only during the evaluation. No screenshot without a report behind it.
Aurum XAU and its copy trading are offered only through this website, @Imperium_Aurum and the official Telegram channel. Anyone else selling it, or showing results "from this bot", is not us.
If someone offers you this strategy outside the official channels, message @Imperium_Aurum before sending any money.
