Who we are. How we publish.

Who runs XAU Setups

XAU Setups is a product of Arcvane Labs, a human + AI software studio based in Pakistan. A small desk of gold traders and developers runs the scanner, writes the analysis and lessons, and answers support. Market analysis is led by our founder, who has traded forex and gold for more than 14 years.

We focus on one market, XAU/USD, so every chart and lesson on this site is about gold.

How our analysis is made

• Top-down: each analysis reads the higher timeframes first (Monthly, Weekly, Daily) and then H4 and M15.
• Liquidity and structure: we mark where liquidity rests (old swing highs and lows, equal highs and lows, previous day and week) and how structure confirms or cancels the idea.
• Levels from real candles: every level is drawn from the candle where it formed, and every chart carries its date and time in UTC.
• Scenarios, not promises: we describe what would confirm a view and what would cancel it. We never present a forecast as certain.
• Human review: a person on the desk checks every chart, level and sentence before a page goes live.

Where the numbers come from

Prices come from our own server, which records XAU/USD every minute from chart data (OANDA feed). The live homepage, the public record and the gold-rate pages read from that feed. Outcomes on the public record are settled by the same feed, in pips, before trading costs, exactly as described in the record methodology. Local gold-rate pages convert the spot price with the purity and unit shown on each page; they are reference prices, not dealer quotes.

Software and AI tools

We use software to work faster: the scanner itself is fixed, rule-based code, and we use AI writing and charting tools to help draft text and illustrations. Tools never publish on their own. A person checks the facts, numbers and chart levels, and edits the wording before anything is published.

Independence and how we are paid

XAU Setups earns from Premium Alerts, a paid monthly subscription. Lessons, analysis and the Telegram community are free. We do not publish paid articles or accept payment to change an analysis. If we ever show advertising or link to a broker with a referral arrangement, it will be clearly labelled on the page where it appears.

Corrections and updates

If we find a mistake, we correct the page and show the update date. If you spot an error, tell us through the contact page and we will check it. Lessons are reviewed when the method or the market context changes. This policy was last updated on 3 November 2026.

Education, not advice

Everything on XAU Setups is educational chart analysis and is not financial advice. Trading gold with leverage carries a high level of risk and you can lose some or all of your capital. Past outcomes do not guarantee future outcomes. Read the terms and risk disclosure before using any paid service.
