{quote} "Sell 3310 - 3318" that $8 move, 80pip. If we sell 1 micro lot (0.01), it is 1 level of the 80 pips Now that stop loss is @ 26. 3310 entry = $16 loss/160pip. 3310.1 entry = $15.9 loss/159pips 3310.2 entry = $15.8 loss . . . now our entry will be only @ 1 level. If we take our profit at 1st Partial take profit, Congratulation we are out of the trade for good. For us to enjoy multiple partial profit, we need at least multiple positions or take 1 whole standard lot and only decrease the partial TP to 0.2 lot (for e.g) on touch screen Mt4/5...
- The original call was to open three separate sell trades at 3318, each with its own target (TP1, TP2, TP3).
So it wasn’t one single 0.01 lot — it was three positions of 0.01 each, not a single micro lot with partial closes. That’s how the three take-profits were managed. - Regarding the total profit figure — you’re absolutely right to point out the discrepancy.
From 3318 down to 3296, 3281, and 3266, the actual moves were $22, $37, and $52 respectively — not $24, $39, and $54 as I had initially posted. So the correct total should be $111, not $117.
Thanks for catching that — I appreciate the correction, and I apologize for the miscalculation. - The $11,100–$11,700 figure was just a basic extrapolation from micro lots to a full standard lot (×100), assuming the same setup and execution.
Of course, in real-world trading with a 1.00 lot, proper scaling and partial closures would be essential, and results may vary depending on trade management.
Thanks again for engaging constructively — I welcome feedback like this. It helps keep the community sharp and accountable.

{quote} Price dropped 100 pips without re-testing the top. It needs some spike up, but it shouldn't hit the SL. Lol
The RR becomes 17R. Wow
. Amazing 
— if it doesn’t hit SL 
. Even though percentage-wise, the gain isn’t that big if successful, only 3.4%. Very Lol Edit Note:
Delete Short Limit. See it later. Late night here.

{quote} You see, i can smell BS from a mile away and you are not a TRADER btw, but a content creator to lure folks into your websites so later you will make it become a paid website, when you get enough sheep in your "free group"
So most likely, you are correct, thanks for doing the calculations and in-depth review.
I have been absolutely whipsawed myself; this is some real voodoo, end-of-month, wishy-washy price action.
Good Luck All

Current structure still favor for bullish..but it require to retrace before another leg up
Market sentiment suggests that gold has been rising, but some analysts expect a correction before another upward move.
Don't forget, it's end-of-month play time!

{quote} friday is tricky day.. i dont trade on friday after reach weekly target..goodluck everyone
To get to an average weekly range target high, price will have to pass this week's open, last week's high, today's daily target high and exceed ADR(10) by quite a bit.
To get to an average weekly range target low, price will have to reach today's daily target low, then exceed the ADR(10) to hit last week's low, and way beyond to the WTL.
Neither scenario seems reasonable or logical right now, but it's still early; I'm sure our local predictors will chime in soon.

{quote} Very funny. Now Gold back to the downside again. {image}
. This is what is holding Gold prices up. The tariff drama is Gold's fuel "for now".
