It's possible that my relationship with money is such that I judge it by how many hours it'd take me to earn it or what I could buy with it. Trading shouldn't work like that + the next step in my progression is overcoming this inhibitive thought process when faced with large P&L

Had I held my nerve there was £10k+ to be had in one day from my positions, which is insane to me as a regular person. Lots of work to do to address this + improve but a taste of what is possible. 3 or 4 of those trades a year and I'd never have to work again

Despite having had my best week trading, by far, and correctly identifying and entering at the top in gold, it feels like a wasted opportunity. Fear of the unknown + giving back profits held me back from what could've been a huge trade had I done nothing + let it run

At least all those endless late nights watching price, studying past charts, different market environments and turning points wasn't a waste of time!

Just can't beat it when you approach the market with a plan and it obliges. Ideal scenario for the next move would be for it to trade in a range and offer another big short next week, alternatively a break through the lows would also trigger a short. What a crazy two nights

Incredible night

This assumes a top is in, of course could be completely wrong and it marches onto new highs. I believe the risk reward doesn't favour new longs here and with an approach to scale in, can manage risk with smaller size and grow the position as/when or if it starts working

Looking at previous corrections in gold, price nearly always comes back to probe the highs, just working out the best place to short. I think today's big H1 down candle from US open is a good range, scale in around the high, add aggressively below the low of it

Kept adding and it became my biggest trade for quite some time so I've halved it as feeling very uncomfortable. Gonna run the rest and add on pullbacks. All in all really pleased with this trade

Christ I'm not going to sleep tonight 😅

Averaged into the short and also shorted silver. This could be a big trade, early days yet and have it got what it takes to hold it..

Short from 5578

Best ones see a further run up after the open then exhaust and break down. No need to rush in or blindly try to pick a top. May or may not happen tonight but I think this week may give us a shot. I'll be watching Asia closely as often that is when the opportunity presents

Parabolic short RSI settings, bands 80/20, length 20. Want both weekly + daily above 80. Drastically reduces false signals. Look at SMCI, MSTR, gold, silver etc, great way to filter the most extended. Gold is now there. Wait for a LTF set up + targeting PDL

This is far from convincing and has been in a tight range around the breakout level for some time, so I'm cutting risk right down and leaving a small bit incase it decides to do something overnight

Retest of premarket high and vwap for pullback set up

The daily high around 50600 seems like a reasonable target

School run long trigger

Looking good

Long straight off the bat
