Nowadays, the best time to trade is ASIA and somewhat during LON, when TRUMP is in asleep.
I just told me myself this, the setup was quite clear then the market switched, I am still in this trade lets see if the bulls will still move the market

i choose to watch further as i reckon the eg buy as strong support.
of course the other alternative is to exit loss and wait for re entry.

And i need to be honest , i not 100% with this riverbank pattern. so my lose trade doesn't count as RIverbank pattern wrong.

I feel I will be able to take 2 - 5 trades per week, 1 trade per day I am done for the day. Will likely be sticking to this

Even at that the sell setup formed hasnt been retested, if they really want to come in for buys, we shouldnt see sellers at that zone

I am not hopeful.... the FVG and iFVG are not getting respected.

personally 18% in a week for you is way too much trading frequency or position sizing.
i know old habits die hard but got to do some internal searching can this be consistent?

nope sifu,
those 18 % is 1-3 trade per day,sometime no trade,and you know gold can be easy hit 300-500 pips,
that why 18 % in 8 days doesn't mean i over trade, i consistent using 0.01 order or 0.01 2 order sometime,then i try to stay 0.01 2 order ytd then boom, wrong 4 times.
the old habit is that ytd i stubborn buy after 2 times wrong , and i kind of revenge to buy the third and fourth time,
and cause me 10% profit gone.

Check the following idea to form your own.

  1. After +10% weekly gain → reduce risk by 50%
  2. Or lock the week once profit exceeds a threshold.
  3. After 2 losses, don't trade for the day
  4. Increase (in your case double the lot size) only after when the capital gets doubled.
