Gold with No Drama

we are otw

I raised the target to 5115-5120 ! Of course, after crossing 5100 !

Yesterday, Trump was saying, "I'm patient for negotiations with Iran !" Why?! These leaders are master orators ! They are messing with you ! It will cost you $4 billion a day (you don't want to count on us later !) Either reach an agreement sooner or destroy their house ! We have lived in stress and excitement for 47 years ! So much excitement is not good for our hearts anymore ! Either face it or ring it ! Destroy their vulture's nest and release the birds! The people who were killed for their loved ones are dancing instead of mourning ! They are more dangerous than atomic bombs !

what ever day it is.. it is always "aNytHing cAn hAppEN" kind of bs..
yea don't get fucked.. alright.
Safe trades.

iam targeting 5100 as there are chances on gamma squeeze so tp 5100 if breaks then breakout caution as sell will get alret but then i can use delta hedging

we might face a black swan event if russia came to dollar

they keep creating rumors to trap traders. can't see why russia want to believe the best liars in the world.

Regime change is the best thing that could happen in the USA.

Thinking XAU will move towards $5100+ and then retrace, before moving up again.
Currently the trend is clearly bullish however a double top is formed at Friday's close so the retracement may come more quickly.

As always anything can happen, trade the price action, not assumptions.

Hello Everyone,
First of all i want to thank all those who take the time to share their analysis and mindset and give advices, i've been here for couple months and learned a lot of you guys specially those names who appear daily <3, i'm a beginner let's say, on my XAUUSD journey i'm a bit in loss but apparently it's pretty normal when we start ( Total +15k / -16k ) so -1k in loss due to these past days and all of this on a 2k account so yeah i've been bouncing around the break even for months and now i'm in loss but whatever that's not the problem, i kinda start to shift my mindset and stopped hunting money and tricking myself into seeing entries on every candle, so on friday since it was a day off for me i tried to stay professional and follow the Price Action, i made a good analysis but my entry was poor and i got stopped out with 20 pips and just after the trade went exactly where i wanted it to go (obv i'm not a prophet but i just wanted to stick to my edge and market movement and decided to place the trade and NOT touch anything.. and it didn't pay off .. so is there any advice on enhancing entries the moment everything meets ur analysis ? how do u guys enter and where do u place you stop loss ? look at these screenshots, the first on M30 and the second showing the entry, i'm kinda sad that i missed the trade, not cause i lost money but cause i almost was right .. thanks in advance guys ! Have a nice weekend !!!

I've moved to taking entries off the 1 or 2 SECOND chart, timing that with the M1 and of course looking for HTF continuation.
Friday was a great example of that working, taking the daily low ~ 4937 and carrying it through to the high ~ 5045.
Eventually there will be a continuation and the hardest part of course is HOLDING your entries through all of the chop.
But there was a clear S1-M1-M5-M15-M30-H1 continuation and it MAY move into the H4 tomorrow.
If the H4 triggers we may see another big move up, depending on what happens geopolitically and with funds moving out of tech/crypto.

Entered these before the market close yesterday as I expect Asia will set our new level from the recent news. Asia sets levels, London makes moves and NY brings volume. It's clockwork.

Check 2011 -> 2015 and 1980 -> 2000s

2020 -> 2022

rising interest rates and QT

sorry, do not agree..,
imo, gold is not money/liquidity.., but status..,

Large cascaded sell-off.
Can someone who is more into these things, find out what caused the programmatic action?
Something was triggered somewhere. We need the source!

We retail traders are seagulls catching fish behind large ships.

It seems you follow ICT concepts, they work and they not work, like every concepts need context.
Is easy to say after things happen but i tell you i didn't trade it because off the charts at that time, but ICT concepts used well can be a tool, not everything he teachs is only narratives particulary if the contex is there. Because those concepts the chart have them all over the charts in each TF. Fvg, IFVG, Breaker, OB and so on, but wich will work? That is the question...
Don't get me wrong for pointing your mistake based in this concept, because i make mistakes too in 1m and that is not totally to blame us, volatility is.
Starting by pointing your mistake is this market conditions... Tf to tight and wrong OB or demand.
In the past already talk about the importance of 9am Ny time candle and what did it happen? It didn't have continuation in following day, in fact it had a fractal close inside is body range. This is the first clue to start shifting bearish to bullish but knowing the candle that close inside will be average after that or tap the prior 9am candle close. So you had 2 levels to trade for, you trade the conservative one and in fact is the best one but you can loose the train.
Now you should ask yourself? With such volatility wich demand or OB ( need imabalance on it, show strength ) Well minimum 15m tf and in fact they react to it, the problem was you trading 1m tf and it was that 1m demand that they mitigate prior the break of 9am candle close closing all the imbalance left.
But that was not the only reason, the contex only make it stronger because at same time we break on daily fractal aka 4h median daily high and that does not happen randomly, it have meaning unless is manipulation to aim the other side or 50% of it.
The image below show to you what i described to you. The 1m demand that you should trade from was wrong and so obvious the stop.
They play both 15m and 1m closing the imbalances, the problem was after close the 15m they went close the 1m that people will call 50% ob or demand but was exactly the last frontier...
Hope it helps you adding more information at you already know.
And all the others know now why i said here that 4944 should be taped... The choices we made in the entries when price is readed the correct way is what makes the diference, mistakes we all make on entries...
Safe trades.

i’d like to reply to a few posts about uselessly to sell gold.., appeared on friday..,

my scalping/shorting gold during london&ny gave me plenty of pips.., from seven to more than three hundreds per one trade..,
it delighted me..,

Is not uselessly, but the probabilities were not there unless we talk about fractal averaging price or make price efficient before leave...
People can not say is uselessly when the probabilities of this happen are so high as the continuation but not as a shift of daily trend.
It happens now and then but rarely...
Is the reason i trade more time than not at the same day buy and sell, it all depend how we are reading price and our edges.
In probabilities that is another story, everyone should know what are depending what we are trading....

Being in a break even or small loss phase is actually the best place for a beginner to be.
Be grateful you can recognize this phase because the worst thing for a new trader is winning early and getting fooled into thinking there are no holes in their game. Losing 1K now is much better than thinking you are ready and losing 100K later.

About your stop loss getting hit and the trade going your way, that feeling is part of the journey. What helped me the most was sharing my analysis and executions publicly here. Everything is saved with date and time so I can always go back and study my old entries. That is basically journaling.

The more you execute, get stopped out, and almost get it right, the more data you collect on the patterns you trade. Then you can compare:
What was different?
Why did this one fail and the other did not?
What are you missing?

I am actually back in this same phase myself because I added a lot of new patterns recently and got hit hard. But I am grateful. Better now than later. When it finally clicks everyone will clap, but you have to go through the hard part fully.

Gold IS Money.
Fiat currency is NOT.
