Hi, senjamerah.
I admire your trading.
Tell me, do you use intuition in trading? Or do you follow strict rules?
What advice can you give to a trader who has been struggling to get from zero to plus for a long time?

Hi Mandariin,
I welcome anyone who wishes to share their analysis/charts in this journal. I don’t mind if the techniques or strategies used differ from mine—in fact, I’m happy if my sharing can benefit others. I believe that if we all share our respective approaches—including you, Steve, or anyone else who is passionate about scalping gold using a naked chart—in a single thread, it will make it easier for readers or traders to learn this knowledge. I want you to know that whether you choose to post in my journal or your own, what I truly hope for is that you succeed in becoming a consistent trader.

I only have one piece of advice that I feel is the most valuable for anyone who wants to become a full-time scalper like me: you must do a lot of practice. Please print out some examples of setups from my chart and compile them into a book. Open the 1-minute chart and observe how the price breaks out. Watch how the breakout candle forms, especially in the last 20 seconds. This is the method I use most frequently, aside from shadow entry, Quasimodo, and manipulation setups.

To beginners—even if you lack knowledge and experience, the one advantage you do have is TIME! Use this advantage of TIME wisely. What I mean is that there’s absolutely no need to rush into the market and start trading—you will crash and burn. Use your time as best as you can by carefully observing the price movements on the chart itself. Use TradingView and scroll the chart to the left as much as possible. Then, run simulations at a suitable speed so you can observe how price movements form various patterns or structures. This will help you improve your skills much faster.

Good, you are right, more 1m TF trades ( naked charts only ) we have in here more we can learn. I keep my analysis and trades in your thread.
Scalping 1m chart is powerful, some say that is noise, but as I have downloaded all your charts up to page 68 I can say same pattern repeat again and again and ...

I looked through the catalog. There are some kind of stats that majority breakouts fail. Why do they say that 80% of breakouts fail? | Forex Factory
I didn't count but breakout sections toke longest to review. Breakouts are the best setups to trade.
It seems breakouts are you favorite trades to take ? Buy the strength and sell the weakness is way to go.
Work continues... time to build my own catalog.

Breakout scenarios on lower timeframes differ significantly from those that occur on the M15 timeframe and above.
In particular, breakouts during the Asian session tend to behave differently compared to those seen during the London and New York sessions. The gold market during the Asian session typically exhibits more transparency and lower volatility. While price movements may be more subdued, they still present viable opportunities for scalping strategies. Traders should recognize these session-based characteristics to better align their entries and expectations.

Managed to grab 120 pips today. Nice start to the week. Price movements are smooth and easy to read. If only every day was like this, … but let’s not kid ourselves — just like the ocean isn’t always calm, there’ll be stormy days too.

Breakout levels set potential targets too.

Adjust your stop-loss (SL) levels in accordance with current market conditions. A wider SL requires a proportionally larger take-profit (TP) target to maintain a favorable risk-to-reward ratio. Conversely, a stop-loss that's too tight can lead to premature exits due to market noise. Keep refining your strategy.

Risk 14 ticks, RR 1.7
I based my target base on market logic. Market can't stay in range forever, it needs to breakout.
For me closest horizontal, logical place for target. When market is in trend mode then second horizontal.
