Testing a Risk-Managed XAUUSD H4 Trend-Following Framework

Recently testing a medium-frequency XAUUSD H4 trend-following framework focused more on risk-adjusted returns than aggressive growth. Main logic includes break-even protection, ATR trailing stops, higher RR breakout entries, and cooldown filters after consecutive losses to avoid unstable market conditions. Current backtests show relatively stable equity growth with controlled drawdown and low deposit load. Still optimizing robustness and forward execution quality — always interested in connecting with other EA developers, quant traders, or people building systematic trading frameworks.

Trying to Build an Institutional-Style Macro / Quant Research Site — Looking for Advice

I’ve been thinking about building a small “macro / quant research lab” style website as a long-term personal project.

Not a fake hedge fund or “guru” page — more like a place to share:
- macro market views
- long-term investing thoughts
- systematic trading / EA research
- market structure notes
- trading infrastructure ideas

I work in the trading industry on the business development side, but I’m personally much more interested in the intersection between markets, strategy, technology and capital.

I’m trying to make it feel more institutional / research-oriented rather than retail trading marketing.

For people who’ve built finance-related websites before:
What do you think makes a site actually feel credible and worth reading?

Would love any thoughts or examples!!

What actually works when building IBs in the MetaTrader/CFD space?

Just recently joined a CFD brokerage in Australia as a BDM), mainly focusing on EA ecosystems, IB development and quant/signal partnerships.
Recently I’ve been spending more time around EA development and MQL5 infrastructure as well — especially strategy testing, optimization, VPS environments and signal deployment.
Curious to hear from people already in the industry: what actually worked for you when building IB networks or long-term trader relationships in the MetaTrader space?
Did you focus more on:
signal providers

education/community

social media

copy trading

affiliate networks

quant/EA ecosystems

high-value traders / HNW clients

or local trading communities?

Please share some thoughts for me!!!! Thanks!!!!
