No Long in Range 3 (after red news). Retrace I guess, maybe to 3290. Tomorrow maybe bull again.

Today it’s obvious that, in the context of daily trading (who wants to trade XAU on a weekly or monthly basis?), what matters most is risk; a 290‑pip price burst is no problem either—it’s only a 1% loss if you can scale your risk. That’s the most ...

Most traders have the mindset that specializing in one currency pair or trading only one pair is ideal. However, when the setup they’re waiting for doesn’t materialize or their so-called 'Edge' pattern fails to appear, their trading becomes a forced ...

You need to shift from the outdated mindset of measuring risk based solely on pips, because 40 pips in USD/CAD are not equivalent to 40 pips in, for example, EUR/CAD. You require a percentage-based risk scaling tool.

Closed. For learning only. Get tired. Lol EUR/NZD, EUR/AUD, GBP/AUD, and GBP/NZD seem more exciting than Gold. EUR/CAD and GBP/CAD are the toughest. Good night, guys. Have a nice weekend.

Usually there’s another zigzag leg, but it seems "The Markets" want to hit TP quickly today — Planning to go on vacation, lol. No worries; the trade is already at BE+. TP set back at 3220. 1/3 aDtr a day already OK.

I think that cross for today that may be the top end of the range, so the target could now be down at the very bottom, 3205. It’s a bit strange, indeed, the price movement, weird fractals, but today is Friday.

I think the current zig-zag price movement will continue until the EMA 50 curve on the M15 timeframe turns concave. Therefore, shorting from 3250 for 300+ pips is more favorable. So Short 3255 or 3250, TP 3225 or 3220, SL 3285 or 3280 (move SL to ...
