Gold 2021 Week 28 Trading Plan

#Fintwit #Orderflow #daytrading #daytrade #forex #FX #tradeplan #tradingplan #tradingforex #tradinglifestyle #daytraderlife #Gold #XAUUSD 

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.

Monthly – Bearish

  • June closed retracing all of May not within demand formed in April
  • Trading above MN VWAP in UT
  • Price rejected MN QHi although closed as a consolidation last month
  • Price currently trading within last month’s body

Weekly – Bullish

  • Price traded higher after the bullish Hammer took out W1 demand closing above last week’s range
  • W1 QHi was rejected and the bullish hammer came near QLo but did not touch it

Daily – Bullish

  • D1 phase 2 trading at D1 VWAP in DT forming a RBR although price slowed down and Friday closed somewhat weak.
  • Price did not arrive at D1 QLo after QHi rejection.

Sentiment summary – Bullish

  • Even though MN QHi was rejected last month closed as a consolidation. With price trading at the bottom of the range there could be buying pressure coming in short term. Longer term is bearish. Selling rallies should be the primary focus still. 
  • W1 closed higher and might retest QHi before reversing (in line with possible MN consolidation)
  • D1 reached D1 VWAP in DT and price slowed down but did close higher. No reversal yet. In case of a Bear Engulf there could be the shift in sentiment aligned with MN narrative.

Focus Points for trading development

  • Monthly Goals
    • No momentum trades on Non-Farm Fridays
    • Total of 13 trades by the end of the month
  • Weekly Goal
    • Weekly Focus Points
      • Min. 3 times working out at home + mandatory cardio
    • 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
    • 2 consecutive days of lack of sleep = NO TRADING
