Prometheus 1.82
XAUUSD algorithm with Total Risk + Stopper, 1‑limit grid, and Risk/Reward
What Is Prometheus 1.82
Prometheus 1.82 is Vertex's updated gold (XAUUSD) algorithm. It retains the core model principles and introduces a stricter risk architecture: Total Risk + Stopper, while keeping risk‑in‑position.
For XAUUSD (M30/H1): market entry + one limit order (1‑limit grid), VWAP included, SL required, TP auto via Risk/Reward. Risk control: risk‑in‑position + Total Risk + Stopper, plus trading profiles (hedge presets): C4, V, S, X, F and a withdrawal mode.
Key highlights:
- Total Risk + Stopper: aggregated risk cap with a protective lock on new entries once the limit is reached
- Risk‑in‑position: per‑position risk control
- 1‑limit grid: controlled scale‑in via one limit order (no multi‑strategy modules)
- VWAP included
- SL required
- TP auto via Risk/Reward
- One strategy: one core strategy + parameter preset profiles
- Hedge profiles: C4 / V / S / X / F (parameter presets, not separate strategies)
- Withdrawal mode: a discipline toggle for profit‑taking/withdrawal cycles and equity protection within Total Risk + Stopper
How It Works
- Market entry when model conditions are met
- If needed, the algorithm places one limit order to scale in (1‑limit grid)
- StopLoss is mandatory
- Take‑Profit is auto‑calculated via Risk/Reward
- Risk architecture caps both per‑position risk (risk‑in‑position) and aggregated exposure (Total Risk)
- When Total Risk reaches the limit, Stopper blocks further entries (per configured rules)
Strategy & Profiles (Hedge presets)
Prometheus 1.82 runs one core strategy, and behavior differences are achieved through parameter preset profiles:
V — VWAP (Scalp / Intraday)
Intraday scalp logic around VWAP, prioritizing deviation control and mean reversion.
- Core: profile focused on intraday trading around VWAP, evaluating fair value and reactions to deviations
- Horizon: intraday / scalp
- Best for: days with clear intraday dynamics and predictable reactions to mean
X — EMA/MA + Stochastic (Intraday)
Intraday mode with EMA/MA trend filter and momentum confirmation via Stochastic.
- Core: combines trend filter and oscillator for entries in direction of movement with momentum confirmation
- Horizon: intraday
- Best for: moderately trending sessions with clear pullbacks
S — Smart Money Concept (SMC)
SMC mode: structure, liquidity, momentum/imbalance — for more "structural" market reading.
- Core: focus on market structure, liquidity and "implied intent": where price collects liquidity and momentum forms
- Horizon: intraday → short swing
- Best for: when market respects structure and provides clear "liquidity collections" before movement
F — Fibonacci (Intraday / Swing)
Working from Fibonacci levels (retracement/extension) for intraday and short swing.
- Core: uses Fibonacci levels as basis for continuation/correction scenarios, combined with momentum
- Horizon: intraday / short swing
- Best for: impulsive phases where price "respects" retracement and extension levels
C4 — EMA/MA (Swing)
Swing profile with trend structure on EMA/MA: calmer, fewer signals, higher filtration.
- Core: swing profile based on EMA/MA, calmer and filtered: focus on direction and structural continuations
- Horizon: swing
- Best for: smoother trending phases and consistent structure
Note: Profiles are not separate products; they are strategy presets inside Prometheus 1.82. Each profile adjusts model filters and behavior while staying within the same risk architecture: Risk‑in‑position, Total Risk, Stopper, Withdrawal mode.
Risk Architecture
Risk‑in‑position
Per‑position risk control
Total Risk
Aggregated exposure/risk cap
Stopper
Protective lock that halts new entries once Total Risk hits the limit until conditions normalize (or per configured rules)
Multi-Strategy Mode
Prometheus 1.82 is one unified algorithm that can operate in a multi-strategy mode: it can run several strategies/profiles simultaneously (V, X, S, F, C4) within the same system. Signals are generated independently, while overall exposure is governed by a unified risk architecture: Risk-in-position + Total Risk + Stopper (and Withdrawal mode) to keep total risk within predefined limits.
Withdrawal Mode
A discipline toggle for profit‑taking/withdrawal cycles and equity protection within Total Risk + Stopper
