About Prile
Who runs this, what it is for, how it is funded, and what it is not. This page exists because financial content should say plainly where it comes from.
What this is
Prile publishes the complete signal record of one rule-based XAUUSD trading system. The system watches spot gold continuously, applies a fixed set of rules on a five-minute decision cycle, and records every decision it makes — including the decisions not to trade.
Everything on this site is generated from that record. Nothing is written by hand after the fact, and no signal is added for the sake of having something to publish.
Who runs it
Prile is an independent research project, built and operated by a single developer rather than a company, a fund or a broker. It has no commercial relationship with any broker and no affiliate arrangements. Nothing is sold here, and there is no paid tier.
That is worth stating plainly: signal sites are usually funded by broker referrals, which gives them a reason to want you trading often. This one has no such reason.
The account behind the numbers
The results published here come from a simulated account. Orders go to a broker's simulated environment with real prices and real spreads, and fills, slippage and costs are recorded as they happen — but no real capital is at risk, and no real money is made or lost.
That is a genuine limitation, and it is stated on every page rather than hidden in a footer. Simulated fills are close to real ones for a strategy of this size, but they are not the same thing, and a record that pretended otherwise would be worth less than one that admits it.
Every figure on this page comes from a simulated account. Simulated results are a record of what a system did, not a promise of what it will do. Nothing here is investment advice, and no result is guaranteed.
How the record is protected
The journal is append-only and hash-chained: each entry carries a hash of the one before it, so an earlier entry cannot be altered without breaking every hash after it. The reasoning for a trade is written when the trade is opened, before the outcome is known, and the code that produces that written explanation is structurally prevented from reading outcome fields at all — it raises an error rather than accepting them.
This is what makes the published reasoning worth reading. Anyone can write a convincing explanation once they already know how the trade ended.

What this is not
- It is not financial advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to trade.
- It is not a signal subscription. Nothing is for sale.
- It does not forecast the price of gold, and attaches no confidence percentage to any signal, because a made-up confidence number reads as meaningful and is not.
- It makes no claim that past results predict future ones. Trading gold with leverage can lose money quickly, including more than was deposited.
Corrections
Corrections are welcome and wanted. If a number on this site looks wrong, it is worth reporting — the accuracy of the record is the whole point of the project.
