Davis T.
Hong Kong · Finance Professional · Gold Trader since 2008
I've been trading financial markets professionally for over 15 years, starting in 2008 — one of the most turbulent periods in modern financial history. The Global Financial Crisis didn't discourage me from the markets. It did the opposite. Watching gold surge while equities collapsed taught me the power of safe-haven assets and the importance of understanding macro dynamics in every trade.
Based in Hong Kong, I've spent my career at the intersection of institutional finance and active trading. My professional background spans financial analysis, risk management, and portfolio strategy — disciplines that have fundamentally shaped how I approach the markets. I don't just trade price action; I trade with a framework built on decades of real-world experience.
Over the years, I became increasingly focused on XAUUSD (gold). Gold is uniquely driven by macro sentiment, liquidity cycles, and session-based volatility — particularly during the Asian session, which I know well from trading live out of Hong Kong. The Asian hours offer consistent, lower-noise price action that suits a systematic, mean-reversion approach.
In recent years, I transitioned from discretionary to algorithmic trading. After years of watching emotions creep into even the best traders' decisions, I made a commitment to codify my edge — to turn 15 years of pattern recognition and risk management into rules that execute without hesitation, without fatigue, and without bias.
The XAU Mean Reversion EAis the result of that work. It encodes the strategy I developed through years of live trading: EMA trend filtering, RSI crossover entries, adaptive stop losses, and strict daily risk limits. Every feature exists because I've experienced what happens when it's absent. The news filter, the spread filter, the consecutive loss limit — these aren't just features, they're lessons.
I built Auto Gold Trader to give serious retail traders access to the same systematic discipline that institutional desks take for granted. You don't need a team of quants. You need a well-designed, thoroughly tested tool — and someone who stands behind it.

Launched Auto Gold Trader to share proven, production-ready EAs with retail traders who want a professional edge without the complexity.
My Trading Philosophy
Risk first, returns second.Every trade I design starts with the question: what's the worst case, and can I live with it? The EA reflects this — hard stop losses, daily loss limits, and conservative lot sizing are non-negotiable defaults.
Consistency over home runs. An 84.55% win rate with just 0.06% max drawdown compounds better over time than chasing big wins. Steady, repeatable edge is the goal.
Rules, not gut feel.After 15 years, I've seen what happens when traders override their system. The algorithm doesn't override itself. That's the point.
