Tribonacci_RF Strategy Guide #6: How does Tribonacci_RF change with GOLD? Why you must not use the same settings across currency pairs
This is a black cat!!!
Up to this攻略篇, we have organized the ideas around Tribonacci_RF, profit-taking, time frames, initial settings, and fine-tuning.
This time, we'll shift perspective a bit,
and write about how to think when operating XAUUSD (GOLD).
In short,
Using the same settings as FX currency pairs directly for GOLD is dangerous.
1. Why GOLD cannot use the same settings
The reason is simple: GOLD differs in several key points.
・One price movement range is large
・Spread tends to widen
・Movement is fast, rapid changes are common
Therefore,
Even settings that were stable in FX can cause
・signals to appear too frequently
・or hardly appear at all
・trailing to become erratic
These symptoms tend to occur.
This isn’t that the settings are bad;
the characteristics of the currency pair are simply different.
2. The two points you should check first for GOLD operation
What matters for GOLD is
not touching everything at once.
First, focus on only these two points.
① MaxSpreadPips
GOLD frequently widens its spread.
When the spread widens, trailing moves in an unexpected position.
Much of the reason for feeling it’s “volatile” is here
First, check whether you’re being driven by the spread.
② Deviation pips
GOLD has large noise and it can surge all at once when it moves.
For this reason, with FX deviation pips
you tend to either pick up too much or wait too long.
In GOLD, consider deviation pips as something to re-evaluate.
3. Think about adjustment not as an “optimal value” but as a way to “match”
Here, a common question arises.
What is GOLD’s optimal parameter?
To be honest.
There is no universal optimal value.
Because,
・account
・spread
・operating time window
affect behavior.
Instead,
there exists a procedure for an “unavoidably fitting” match.
4. The order of parameter tuning for GOLD (important)
Tuning should always be done in this order.
・Check operating hours and spread
・Only adjust Deviation pips
・If still not fitting, refer to the number of bars
・Finally, adjust lot distribution
※ The rule is: only touch one item at a time.
5. How to think about deviation pips adjustment (GOLD version)
I won’t provide numbers, but the direction is clear.
・If too many signals → raise deviation pips
・If too few → lower deviation pips
・If it’s volatile → first suspect spread and time window
The point is to work backwards from symptoms, not treat GOLD as something special.
6. Verification can be short and light
GOLD moves a lot, so long-term testing isn’t necessary.
As a guideline, several days
or until a certain number of signals occur.
This is enough.
Three points to watch.
・Too many / too few signals
・Trailing slippage
・Is it being stopped by the spread
7. Summary: GOLD is “a different thing” but not a “different rule”
GOLD indeed has its quirks.
However, the Tribonacci_RF thinking itself does not change.
・Set up the environment
・Watch the symptoms
・Respect the order of actions
If you follow these three points, you’ll be less likely to get lost even with GOLD.
In closing
At this point, I cannot say definitively, “This is GOLD’s optimal value.”
Instead, I’ll share a way of adjusting that is hard to misplace in any environment.
I will continue testing and will add to the整理 as I confirm things.
