Swings and scalps

Stopped at breakeven on the demo, moving on up perhaps to my entry order on the live account.

Spread measurement during gold's closed hour. Not a good time to have a stop anywhere near price.

Huge spread.

How the price action played out. Stops still below that area just in case it is the bottom of a new range.

Break of high entry. Waiting for 15 min sma 50 bounce then new trend confirmation above it at least until the 161.8. Set targets.

New extensions on recent butterfly. I still don't understand what a strange attractor is. I wonder why it makes the infinity symbol in 3d.

Stopped out, got back in smaller position, may add to it.

How could that not retrace? It's just a little choppy. Short entry below support.

Now it's back up to where it was darn whipsaw.

Adding on another bounce of 261.8

Relying completely on the fib level for buy stop. $2 risk.

4 positions. Monitoring sizing and stops closely. Money management refinement.

Stopped out, small losses, reversed position, 1 microlot. Target 423.6 $5 profit risk $0.60

Another $0.62 risk added on pullback to the 261.8

Just in case it spikes down I added more entries. I can't start with a big position but as profit increases so does margin so then I can add and move the last entry to breakeven when I do.

Hopefully I didn't reverse for no reason. Little butterfly. Hopefully it stays below the 251.8

Working through the chop. Increasing downward momentum. Selling touches of the sma.

Removing entry. Too bad I chopped out earlier it would have been good.

Moving stops up.

161.8 of the breakout reached. Pyramiding.

Should have taken profits. Losses:

Finally! We have bearish engulfer! Almost took out first target just a few pips away. Adding on pullbacks.
