The GoldBot App: every XAUUSD tool in one place

Scalping Signal: a 0–100 gauge for gold

The Scalping Signal shows how stretched gold is on the 5-minute chart. It is the Stochastic oscillator (%K 5, slowing 3, high/low prices), the same reading many MT5 traders keep under their chart, turned into a gauge you can read at a glance.

Sound alerts

When the gauge enters the BUY or SELL zone the app plays a chime (rising for BUY, falling for SELL), vibrates and shows a banner; in the background it sends a phone notification. Alerts are on by default and can be switched off in Profile. They re-arm only after the gauge moves clearly back to neutral, so you are not woken by every wobble around 10 or 90.

Live XAUUSD candlestick chart

A full candlestick chart of gold that updates every three seconds, with months of history. Choose a timeframe: M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4 or D1. Daily and 4-hour candles start at the broker's midnight (17:00 New York), exactly like MetaTrader.

• EMA 20 and EMA 50 moving averages
• Key levels: today's high, low and open, plus yesterday's high (PDH) and low (PDL)
• Scalping signal arrows: a BUY or SELL arrow wherever the gauge entered a zone
• Desk trades: where our own desk opened trades
• OHLC readout for any candle you touch; times in your own time zone

Each overlay has its own switch, and the app remembers your timeframe. No gaps over weekends: Friday's last candle is followed directly by Sunday's first.

Gold price alerts

Type a price, or tap one of the quick buttons (±$5, ±$10, the nearest round numbers), add an optional note and you are done. You can also tap any key level to turn it into an alert.

• Checked on our server against every live price, so alerts trigger even with the app closed
• Chime, vibration and banner on any page of the app, and a phone notification in the background
• Up to 20 alerts waiting at once, above or below the price
• Triggered alerts stay listed for seven days, with the time and price they hit

Key levels & pivot points for gold today

The levels traders watch all day, calculated from the live feed and shown with their distance from the current price:

• Today: open, high so far, low so far
• Previous day: high (PDH), low (PDL) and close
• Classic pivot points: R2, R1, Pivot, S1, S2
• Week: weekly open, last week's high and low
• Asian session: the Tokyo range (00:00–09:00 UTC) that London often breaks
• Round numbers: the nearest 50s and 100s

Daily market brief

An automatic summary of where gold stands, rewritten every few seconds:

• Yesterday's move and range
• Today so far: open, current price and range
• The Asian session box, and whether it is still forming
• How much of an average day's range (14-day ATR) is already used
• Current volatility compared with normal
• The nearest levels above and below the price
• Today's remaining US news

Volatility meter: is gold quiet or wild?

The meter compares how far gold moved in the last 60 minutes with the median move for the same hour over the previous 20 trading days, and labels it Quiet (under 0.6×), Normal, Active (1.3×–2×) or Very active (over 2×).

A second bar shows today's range against the 14-day average daily range (ATR). When a day has already used most of its normal range, chasing further moves carries more risk.

Gold lot size calculator

Enter your balance, the percentage you are willing to risk and your stop distance in dollars of gold price. The calculator gives the lot size, rounded down so you never risk more than planned, plus the money at risk, the potential profit and risk:reward for your target, the margin needed at your leverage, and the value of each $1 move.

It works for USD Standard accounts and USC Cent accounts (balances in US cents). It assumes the standard gold contract of 100 oz per lot; check your broker's contract size.

USD news & news impact history

Every medium and high-impact US economic release with a live countdown. Six hours before a high-impact release a warning appears at the top of the app, and turns urgent in the last hour.

News impact (new) records every release and measures how gold reacted: the range in the first 15 minutes and the first hour, and where price ended up. Before a release you see how far gold moved after the last few times it came out, so you know which numbers usually shake the market.
