Success Story #6: Nghia Nguyen – Automation vs Emotions
Reducing the human factor in trading has brought Nghia over $1,500 in sales for 3 weeks.
$1,500 in sales of smarter automation for risk-aware traders
From coding to trading, Nghia Nguyen Dinh, known on the platform as nghiand.amz, has found a way to merge two passions: technology and markets. What began as an effort to remove emotions from his own trading has turned into $1,500 in sales over just 3 weeks on the cTrader Store, built around practical automation and a data-driven approach.
Automation instead of emotions
For Nghia Nguyen Dinh trading began as a hands-on experiment in Forex markets. Over time, he realized that emotional decisions often interfered with results. The solution came naturally to a software developer: automation.
“I started trading Forex several years ago and gradually moved toward developing automated systems to improve efficiency and remove emotional decisions.”
Outside of trading and development, Nghia enjoys coding, reading self-improvement books, and learning about AI-driven finance. These interests give him balance and inspiration, influencing how he approaches technology and innovation in trading.
Smart bots for confident trading
Nghia currently publishes his robots on the cTrader Store, where he develops martingale and grid trading robots for intermediate and experienced traders. He focuses on transparency, flexibility, and detailed risk control, allowing users to adjust parameters easily and trade with confidence.
DragonXAU2V2
A grid-based trading bot for XAU/USD that uses Martingale-style money management with built-in equity protection. Designed for traders who want steady results and flexible control over risk and position sizing.
DragonScalpingProV2
A high-frequency scalping bot targeting short market moves, capable of generating strong annual returns. It uses dynamic lot sizing and equity-based stops for precise, automated risk control.
DragonGoldEAProNet6
Built for gold trading on the M5 timeframe, this cBot applies grid and Martingale logic to capture consistent intraday opportunities. Ideal for traders seeking structured automation on XAU/USD.
DragonGoldEAPro_SELLNet6
Specialized for downtrend conditions in gold trading, this bot executes controlled sell-side strategies using grid and Martingale logic to optimize performance in bearish markets.
Nghia often receives positive feedback for the bots’ stability and practical usability. He also uses his own bots for live trading but advises turning them off during major news events to minimize risk.
“For me, success is not only about profitability - it’s about consistency, discipline, and continuous improvement in performance.”
DragonXAU2V2
DragonXAU2V2 is one of Nghia’s most refined creations - a grid-based cBot designed for trading gold (XAU/USD) with a Martingale-style money management system. The bot builds a sequence of positions in one direction (buy or sell) and automatically increases the lot size based on user-defined rules. Once the target profit is reached or the equity protection threshold is triggered, all positions are closed simultaneously.
Key features:
• Automated grid trading with Martingale money management
• Profit targeting: closes all positions once combined profit is achieved
• Equity protection to limit risk exposure
• Spread filter for safer entries
• Adjustable parameters for full control over risk and volume
The system combines flexibility with safety controls, allowing traders to adapt it to their own style. Its spread filter prevents trades during unfavorable market conditions, while the equity stop feature protects against excessive drawdown. Nghia describes it as one of his favorite tools:
“DragonXAU2V2 is one of my most refined bots, combining stability with strong performance in XAU/USD trading.”
Why cTrader
After testing multiple platforms such as MT4, MT5, and TradingView, Nghia discovered that cTrader’s environment offered the perfect balance of structure and creative freedom. Coding in C# feels for him far more enjoyable and flexible, as a simply and great experience for developers.
Also Nghia chooses cTrader for combining a supportive community with practical features that make development and daily use easier:
“I’ve published on other platforms like Gumroad, but nothing compares to the cTrader Store. The cTrader community is very supportive and helps me improve and deploy my robots smoothly. I also love that cTrader allows robots to run without a VPS - I can even turn my bots on and off directly from my mobile depending on market conditions.”
Advice to other traders
Nghia shares observations shaped by his own experience, noting the value of being open with other solution-seekers and approaching the markets with preparation and awareness:
“My advice for developers is: don’t hesitate to share your strategies and ideas with the community - that’s how we all grow together. For traders, I recommend backtesting carefully to find the best approach and always practicing effective risk management.”
Final thoughts
Having built a solid foundation and achieved more than $1,500 in sales for 3 weeks, Nghia now looks toward the next stage of development. His focus is on building AI-powered trading systems that combine machine learning with algorithmic execution for more adaptive and intelligent decision-making.
