This is my weekly outlook on GOLD. The levels that I will be looking at with a higher probabilistic chance the market will start reacting. During the session I then wait for the market to hit those levels and either confirm or reject my bias through price action confirmation and order flow. I hope that makes sense. If not, please get in touch with me. I love to talk to people that are on the same path as me. So don’t be shy and reach out.

Trading rules
Focus on taking ONE trade a day. If I missed the first DTTZ then a trade needs to be taken on the 2nd DTTZ unless there is a high/medium initiative activity day.
Only price-action based exit rules (or if hit time stop comes earlier)
M15/M30 entries and exits at 1st DTTZ, M5 entries and exits at 2nd DTTZ
Buffer trades (profit target >1R) are allowed and encouraged
Use SL scaling in case the profit target for the setup doesn’t provide 2R for example for FA or VAA setups
No social media / messenger apps / phone calls allowed during the trading window
Risk Management
Without forcing a trade: aim to take 1 trade a day, if possible 2.
Capital Preservation during drawdown allows for 1R profit-taking
