Gold 0429 Trading plan

Instead of calling Gold analysis, I would use the term of trading plan or trading journal to record my trades.
So please note: This is a personal journal only, but NOT a trading suggestion. If you want to follow it please control by your own risk. I can't give you advice on risk management and money slot because we have different risk preference and strategy.


Date: 2020/04/29
Entry reason:
Gold has confirmed a double top and reverse at 1734. A quick dump on last Friday to 1710 confirmed a downtrend at least in a short term.

Gold broke the previous downtrend channel but formed a flat top-bottom ranging area. From my point of view, it's conslidating until another break. Although the direction is not confirmed yet, I would still prefer go short at high price.

Ranging area: 1712 - 1692
Pattern will be invalid when price breaks either side.

I would adjust my TP to 1692 for short period if it touch again. I may buy Gold if a nice rebouncing pin bar appear or just sell stop if a strong candle break the support 1692.

Result :
I was beliving that gold may touch 1692 for the (d) point, however I ignored the reverse signal on the price 1697. and even I know it was consolidating, but I traded like it's gonna break to a lower low.

In a result, I didn't protect my profit which is a failed trade. I need to stick to my plan
