Gold has to be the most confusing thing to trade sometimes I swear, I was up a good bit, then lost it all even though I changed nada with entry conditions, just started killing me
Sounds like your setup is built for a trending market. We haven’t had a real trend for a while it’s been range city. In a range, those same entries get flipped on you fast.
Two clean options:

  1. Switch the mode: scalp the edges of the box (sell the top, buy the bottom) and take profit quick. Tight SL, quick hands.
  2. Or sit out / wait for a real break: place pendings outside the range and only join when price proves it wants to run.

If you try to trade trend logic inside chop, you’ll keep donating. Either adapt the playbook to the environment or let it go until momentum returns. “Do nothing” is a position too.

I entered a small sell order at 4120. Watch further and hope for a nice candle signal to support the next sell orders. {image}
I still believe in my model until now.
The volume of the buyers is not enough to break through the 4020 - 4030 selling zone. Especially when it is at a sensitive position where both sides have to clearly determine the winner or loser. It is easy to have manipulation and panic in a short time.
I can be wrong, of course.
But really hoping it is right, will help me a lot in the process of learning from everyone.

Completely agreed with you there, also think im looking too much into dxy considering its not correlated right now.
Ifi i was just focusing on gold trading price breaks i wouldn't have had my insane loss streak earlier on

I know, we are at the same price was detected high volatility on friday Ny...
Is reacting the same at that zone.
For them this zone have meaning for us retail are 50/50 LOL

I am looking for the child mean at the moment, because the mother is a two candle pattern was why my first stop starts to be in a reversal point, is why i do not advice play Ny when this happens, is hard to distinguish the real equilibrium.

But i think London will tell wich side we are going, for me is just not worth to cut loss. Is more wise to confirm with London and shift.

{quote} You realize that's about midnight in Nigeria, I doubt she has watched many Sydney sessions, anyway Tokyo and Shanghai open are when the action happens. And Nigeria is perfect place to catch Frankfurt, and London session, even New York, surely much better opportunity there, IDK.
Personally I struggle with my sleep and I’m usually up for early Asian session (2-3am GMT) so it’s not that far fetched brother

What i mean by two candle pattern?
Is hard to distinguish the really body candle, because is in the bodies that have meaning.
However exposure reduce now, 30m must close above red box to target be achieved with a certain degree.

yeah man, dxy will make you overthink fast. trader to trader: just trade what gold is printing. it’s still a box no clean trend so it can chop while dxy rips, happens all the time. let XAU show its hand first (break and hold outside, or a real reaction at the extremes). treat dxy as background context, not a trigger. mid-box? do nothing and keep your ammo. props you clocked it yourself. easy paid lesson. slow it down, park the correlation, and let gold print a clean setup. you’ll earn that back. most important: defend the account and protect the gains you made when gold wasn’t this choppy. you’ve got the read you’ll fix this quick.

I have a question ususlly right, well personally I’ve never seen any moves during Sydney session why is that? Or has anyone actually gotten any moves during that time
yeah its down to low volume, to be fair its not a major market either.

So now that BST has finished and also the US has had their respective time change too, 7am is Frankfurt opening, 8am London, 1.30pm GMT is when the US data starts to flow, a bit like how the UK data is an hour before LO. 2.30 pm GMT NYO
