THE THEORY OF CUMULATIVE MOVEMENT
The market travels farther
than its daily range.
A $100 high-to-low range describes only the distance between two extremes. It does not count every rise and fall along the way. That hidden path is the opportunity SPCT is designed to investigate.
RANGE VERSUS DISTANCE
Two measurements.
Two different questions.
Daily range asks how far apart the highest and lowest prices were. Cumulative distance asks how far price travelled through every observed step. A one-way move makes the two similar; repeated reversals make cumulative distance much larger.
For the same observations, DΔt ≥ R. Measuring more frequently usually reveals more of the back-and-forth path.
A $100-DAY MODEL
The finer the lens,
the longer the path.
Under a simplified random-walk model, expected cumulative distance grows approximately with the square root of the number of observations. These are theoretical illustrations—not measured gold results or a profit forecast.
| Sampling interval | Observations in 24 hours (N) | Illustrative cumulative distance |
|---|---|---|
| 1 hour | 24 | $245 |
| 15 minutes | 96 | $490 |
| 5 minutes | 288 | $850 |
| 1 minute | 1,440 | $1,900 |
| 15 seconds | 5,760 | $3,800 |
| 1 second | 86,400 | $14,700 |
Do not add the rows. Each row is a different-resolution estimate of the same price journey. The finest available clean measurement is the closest representation of the total path; spread bounce and market microstructure can inflate very short-interval figures.
SEEING THE PATH
One range.
Many journeys.
A smooth trend offers less repeated movement to harvest. A choppy path can cover the same range while travelling many times farther—but it also creates more false signals and transaction costs.
FROM MOVEMENT TO RESULTS
Potential movement is not automatically profit.
Software can act at intervals that no person could follow continuously. But it cannot know every reversal in advance. What matters is the small fraction of movement captured after every cost and every wrong decision.
Spread, commission, slippage, latency, false signals and adverse directional moves reduce what is extractable. At the shortest intervals, bid/ask oscillation can look like movement without offering a tradeable opportunity.
THE SPCT HYPOTHESIS
Harvest the path.
Do not depend on one prediction.
The expanded suite combines an alternating short-term pair with independent momentum, EMA and VWAP pullback, bounce, price-level and range models. These complementary approaches investigate different parts of gold’s path, subject to execution costs and adverse moves.
The analogy is a powerful reactor: the market supplies abundant motion, while prediction, execution and risk management are the machinery that determines whether any of it becomes usable output. The hypothesis remains subject to forward testing. Recovery and hedging can alter exposure; they do not guarantee recovery or eliminate loss.

Important information & performance methodology
Trading risk & service availability
Leveraged trading involves substantial risk of loss. Past performance does not predict future returns. Hedging changes exposure and can increase gross exposure and margin requirements; it does not erase losses or guarantee recovery. The current system has no hard monetary loss cap. Automated exits require a connected, running terminal with trading enabled, and break-even or profit targets may never be reached.
Manual intervention is intended as an exception to normal automated operation, not a guarantee of recovery or a claim that intervention has been rare in the published history. The current design combines an alternating short-term pair with independent momentum, pullback, bounce, price-level and range models. Recovery and manual basket management apply to designated strategies; independent fixed-stop models retain their own exits. The updated Body engine has recorded its first entry; the broader strategy suite remains under evaluation. This website does not accept deposits, connect subscriber accounts or execute trades. No broker partnership is announced or implied. Proposed pricing, account eligibility, broker arrangements and applicable requirements must be confirmed before launch. The proposed €100 subscriber allocation is not a limit on losses. Subscribers would bear their own gains and losses; the operator trading personal capital does not guarantee subscriber outcomes.
AI-assisted development, surgical experience and close supervision do not establish a profitable trading edge. Reviews depend on submitted logs, with operator approval required before proposed bot changes are implemented.
Understanding the figures
The latest imported MT5 log covers 24 September 2026 at 17:00 through 25 September at 17:39:25, broker time (UTC+3, matching Greek time). This is a historical snapshot, not a live feed. Repeated deal records are deduplicated by broker ticket. Net results include recorded commissions, swaps and fees, and all manual trades in the selected window.
The 15-second models are counted as cycles, from initial entry until their positions close. Automatic recovery legs and the two manual hedges matched by overlapping exposure and simultaneous basket exits are included in the corresponding cycle, rather than counted as separate wins or losses. Other models are counted by closed trade. The Body position remained open at cutoff: its entry cost is included in booked profit, while its floating result remains separate.
The default chart begins at a reference €100 and adds booked net trading profit, excluding deposits, withdrawals and floating P&L. The resulting balance and percentage are calculated on this reference base; they are not the broker account balance or a deposit-adjusted account return. The alternative chart shows actual sampled broker balance and equity.
Account observations begin on 24 September at 18:03. Sampled peak-to-trough equity drawdown in the available heartbeat readings was €52.63; worst sampled floating P&L was -€59.67. Monitoring is incomplete before the first observation, and periodic readings can miss intraperiod extremes.
This window includes changing settings and manual basket management. It is not a test of one fixed configuration or the account’s lifetime record. Reclaim’s seven wins are a small historical sample. Research into entry filters is exploratory and has not established a reliable improvement. The external Myfxbook link is supplementary; the latest figures on this page are calculated from the submitted MT5 log.
Results are from the source account, not subscriber accounts. Copied outcomes may differ because of account size, timing, spreads, commissions and slippage.
