Hi Fxpider - what would the criteria be for you to have manually closed your trades at a loss? (noting that your first few trade entries went in drawdown, but you kept holding). Thanks.

gold begins to range even within london session.
this is the reason why i prefer my trades to be completed within 3 hours, preferably 2 hours if possible.
if it doesn't move, maybe the big boys intended it to move in another session. like during the red news.

I play gold differently than FX. I prefer to have a wider SL based on ADR and use incremental position sizing.
I will take a loss with a CLOSE beyond the zone of my trades.

sometimes i do hold my floating loss trades outside the confirmation entry zone if i see that the htf direction and trade control is still very much intact.
outside of tc zone is the last line of defence.

Thanks guys..it seems forming a HTF directional bias is vital to holding onto trades in drawdown. Understanding from which D to D (based on H4 eg ef) that movement is occurring.

Just to clarify, your last line of defence is a close outside of the tc by a candle of the same timeframe (eg m30 candle closes beyond the m30 tc)? Thanks

yes either h1 or m30 close beyond tc.
however there can be variations for different traders like your trade having 0.5% floating loss and you can afford holding loss of 2-3% because of your profit earned the previous day.
