DislikedI'm curious, would you have taken these two trades today during NY session? My analysis - price made higher highs and higher lows after a short downtrend in a bullish trend. {image}Ignored
Once price moves away from the moving averages and breaks a high it will want to soon pullback so I'd get a bit weary.
Your first entry was valid, although I do prefer there to be more red bars and a bigger pullback (it only went to 38.2 fib).
The 2nd entry I wouldn't have taken because of the abnormal volume hitting above +200 and then the volume after was lower (I have marked this on your chart below)
I also marked where I would have entered but your first entry is a mistake that is easy to make... especially with gold.
I didn't take any of those entries though.
Try focusing on the signals that appear when price is breaking out from the moving averages with signal line above zero level
