GoldBot SideKick: your co-pilot for manual gold trades
You make the entries. SideKick makes sure every trade is protected the moment it opens, trails the stop as price moves your way, and keeps the whole day inside the risk limits you set. It never opens a trade on its own.
Illustration of the SideKick panel
Everything a manual trader forgets in the heat of the moment
SideKick watches every trade you open on the chart's symbol, whether from MetaTrader, your phone or its own buttons, and applies your rules to it automatically.
A stop on every trade
The moment a trade opens without a stop-loss, SideKick sets one at your chosen distance. Panel presets ($4 / $8 / $15) and « » buttons change it in one click.
Stepped trailing stop
Every time price gains your step (e.g. $0.50), the stop moves up behind it. TRAIL can be paused from the panel, and a breakeven stop is never undone.
Moving-average exit
An Exit chip shows your MA level (default SMA 10). Switch on AUTO EXIT and a profitable trade is closed when price touches the line.
Book break-even
Once a side's average entry is in profit, all its stops can be pulled to just past that average, so the whole side cannot turn into a loss.
One-click panel
BUY and SELL with a lot size you set, CLOSE ALL (fired all at once for speed), CLOSE % of volume, and a one-shot BREAK-EVEN close.
Hard risk caps
Maximum risk per side as a % of balance, a ceiling per trade and on total open lots. Day-start balance sizing stops wins from inflating your risk.
Day profit floor & loss stop
Lock in a profit floor that ratchets with you, and a loss stop that flattens everything and blocks new trades for the day, even ones opened from your phone.
Trade policing
Trades opened elsewhere are checked against your rules: oversized trades are trimmed, and trades that push a side past its cap are closed.
Live warnings
Wide spread, too much open volume, high worst-case risk or a trade without a stop: SideKick tells you on the panel and, if you like, with an alert.
8-indicator signal box
The same confluence used in the GoldBot App: EMA, higher timeframe, ADX, Supertrend, Stochastic, Donchian, MACD and RSI vote on the chart.
Stochastic sound alarms
Two alarm levels (e.g. 90/10 and 95/5) play a sound when %K crosses them, with a cool-down so you are not flooded.
Trade study log
One CSV row per closed trade, including bursts of entries and the MA readings, so you can study what actually works for you.
From entry to exit, every trade is managed
- Initial stop at your distance in gold dollars (default $10), with an optional take profit
- Shared stop: optionally give a whole side the oldest trade's stop
- Equity risk guard: tighter stops once too much of your balance is at risk
- Your own stops are respected unless you tell SideKick to override them
- Retries with a cool-down if the broker rejects a change, and a clear STUCK marker
Rules that hold when emotions don't
- Daily money target and loss cap, with optional automatic flattening
- Percent day governor: a profit floor that banks gains on the way back, and an immediate loss stop
- Blocks new entries once the day is stopped; the BUY and SELL buttons grey out and the panel says why
- Commission-aware figures, magic-number filtering, chart-symbol only by default

SideKick questions
Does SideKick open trades by itself?
No. SideKick never opens a trade on its own. It manages the trades you open, by hand, from your phone or from its own BUY and SELL buttons. The only exception is the optional Auto Grid, which is off by default and reopens a stopped-out trade only if you switch it on.
When will SideKick be available?
It is in testing on our own live XAUUSD account now. When it launches, the download will appear in My Licence for registered users. Create a free account to be ready.
Will SideKick use my GoldBot licence key?
Yes, the plan is for SideKick to run on the same GoldBot licence key as GoldBot Air. Keys are tied to your MetaTrader account number, not to a product.
Which platform and market does it support?
MetaTrader 5 on Windows or a Windows VPS, built and tuned for XAUUSD (gold). It manages the chart symbol only by default.
How is SideKick different from GoldBot Air?
GoldBot Air is fully automated: it decides and opens trades itself. SideKick is for traders who want to make their own entries but have every trade protected, trailed and kept inside their risk limits.
Trading leveraged products such as gold carries a high level of risk and can result in the loss of your entire capital. Trade-management tools reduce some risks but cannot prevent losses.
