How I Caught 200 Pips On Gold And How You Can Do Too✨Hello Traders✨
I’ve done a breakdown on how I caught 200pips on GOLD!!!
Just like how a pilot cannot takeoff without completing the checklist procedure✅
As traders I believe we cannot just place a trade without completing our own trading checklist.✅
Trading is a business, and like any other business we want to enter deals that are in our favor ($$$)
Before entering a trade, I need atleast 3 confluences and in this particular trade the criteria was met
As you know, Gold has been in an uptrend however I could see that it was starting to lose steam
That is when I pulled out my tools
⚡️Note : Some of the tools I use to identify reversal trades may not be applicable for trend riding⚡️
1. The channel - The breakout out of the channel helped to confirm that a reversal was taking place✅
2. Awesome Oscillator divergence - This is an “Awesome” tool I use to find hidden divergence & confirm reversals - as you can see there is a higher high on the trend and lower highs on the AO signaling divergence✅
3. Psychological Level- This can be powerful especially when used with reversal chart patterns like that DOUBLE TOP there on the wicks at 1900. Here you can see the 1900 level was rejected twice by those weeks and I knew it was Game on✅
I hope this post will help someone who is struggling to put it all together
A trading checklist might just be the missing key in your trading
It will help you to factor out FOMO trades and reduce overtrading giving you that sniper like precision⚡️
Remember trading is serious business.
Real money is involved
So take the time to do a checklist and filter out the bad trades from the good!
God bless you✨
Slick⚡️

GBPUSD - 1H CHART ANALYSISHI GUYS,
HOPE EVERYONE READING THIS IS WELL.
PLEASE SEE ATTACHED MY ANALYSIS OF GBPUSD.
AS WE CAN SEE IN THE CHART WE HAVE THE PAIR TRADING WITHIN A CHANNEL WHICH I HAVE DRAWN OUT WITH BOXES TO DRAW RESISTANCE AND SUPPORTS AREAS.
WE CAN ALSO SEE THAT THERE IS A RESISTANCE LEVEL BEING RESPECTED WITHIN THE CHANNEL. THERE IS A FEW WAYS WE COULD LOOK FOR ENTRIES IN THE MARKET HERE:
- I WILL BE WATCHING THE CANDLESTICKS TO SEE IF WE HAVE ANY PIVOT CANDLE STICKS NEAR THE RESISTANCE LINES, IF SO I WILL ASSESS THE RSI AND THE STOCHASTIC TO SEE IF I CAN GET ANY CONFIRMATION OF A REVERSAL TO THE DOWN SIDE.
- WE COULD WAIT FOR A BREAK THROUGH THE RESISTANCE LINE/AREA WHICH IS CURRENTLY BEING RESPECTED AND FROM THERE WE COULD WAIT FOR A RETEST AND PUSH TO THE UPSIDE.
- WE COULD ALSO WAIT FOR A BREAK IN THE CHANNEL AND A PULL BACK TO RESTEST SUPPORT/RESISTANCE BUT THIS MAY TAKE A FEW DAYS TO MAKE THESE TYPES OF MOVES.
THE 4H AND DAILY CHART DON’T GIVE US MUCH INFORMATION AS TO WHAT DIRECTION WE ARE GOING IN AS IT IS CONSOLIDATING ON ALL HIGHER TIME FRAMES BUT I WILL WATCH CAREFULLY FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURLY CANDLES AND SEE IF THIS GIVES US ANY INDICATIONS AND POTENTIAL TRADES.
ANY LIKES OR COMMENTS WITH YOUR OPINIONS ARE MUCH APPREICATED.

EUR/USD to start this week off!...EUR/USD upside remains active. The pair looks to the end day around its 21 DMA (1.2180) but nonetheless nearer to the top its tighter 1.2146-90 range. Looking ahead, tomorrow’s German ZEW survey will likely gain focus in early hours whilst BoE’s Chief Economist Haldane is ready to make an appearance close to the US cash open. Relatively flat intraday around the 90.00 mark after waning from its 90.30 best towards its 90.03 low on the Dollar Index.
Further upside expected on EUR/USD.
Use your own trading initiative.
Trade safe and have a great week ahead!
Part 2: Why did Gold suddenly drop over 500 pips?Part 2
Gold was trading in a channel!
i only just saw this. The drop in Gold of 500 pips last week was from three things:
1. Triple Top/Head and shoulders
2. Break of trend line
3. To touch the bottom of the channel.
Gold has been in a channel trending up since the massive double bottom from May. The trend and channel are still valid because Gold was able to rally back and still close in the channel and retraced back up over 300 pips.
This is the Part 2 of my technical analysis. There could be a fundamental reason but I have chosen to just focus on the technicals.
How did you do during the past few days trading Gold?
Part 1: Why did Gold suddenly drop over 500 pips?Part 1
Gold was trending up nicely for a while!
Then, it decided to drop; and it dropped over 500 pips in just over a day. Why?
I couldn't understand why it wasn't drying to continue to climb for several reasons.
1. It was in an uptrend.
2. It broke and closed above the 1900 level several times.
Here's what I missed:
1. The uptrend was broken and retested as you can see in the green pencil area.
2. A Triple top/head and shoulders was created-yellow circles.
3. I was biased and couldn't see differently.
I won't be making that mistake again!
I finally figured out after it was all too late and over. I took about 5 trades during that short time and only 1 was a winner.
The thing I need to do better with next time is to respond more fluidly to the ever changing markets.
How did you do during this time?
Look for Part 2 for something new to add!
GBPUSD H4 - Short SetupGBPUSD H4
Approaching our 1.42 whole number resistance price again, offering just in excess or 3.2R from resistance down to support, covering the majority of left side wicks.
Daily/H4 resistance, 1.42 whole number, breakout/yearly highs. Multiple confluences on this trading zone that have failed to see a sustained break above.
DXY moving sideways on support. Lots of USD related data today and tomorrow regarding labour figures, earnings and NFP.
NZDCHF H4 - Long SetupNZDCHF H4
5 minutes until we close on the H4 candle, solid price rejection candle, but most of this has changed within the last H1 period. So we are seemingly still in an hourly downtrend (also at descending resistance).
So cautious of this as we may be able to utilise a better entry and greater RR potential.
GBPUSD H4 - Long SetupGBPUSD H4
Slight adjustments made to our support and resistance zone here on cable, generally more happy with the trading zones and the stance we have now in line with other ***USD pairs and DXY performance.
Still a measurable trade from support up to resistance, offering a nice 3R. Just need to sit and wait patiently for a test of support.
GBP/USD looking to soon print a new high!...The Pound derived strength at the expense of its US counterpart, albeit with extra impetus from strong oil prices, Nationwide hpi and hawkish rhetoric via BoE’s Ramsden in the Guardian, though Cable came up against a barrier around 1.4250 and lost grip of the 1.4200 handle even before a downgrade to the final manufacturing PMI. From here we are looking for a short final pullback before a rally hopefully to set in over the next 48 hours.
NZDCAD H4 - Long Trade SetupNZDCAD H4
We were following this on Friday and saw a solid bounce from support initially for it to then reverse.
Another opportunity may be presenting here from support once again, CAD strength in line with WTI demand. Hopefully expires soon, as this would be a nice setup to see unfold.
EURUSD H4 - Long SetupEURUSD H4
On the retest price now after seeing that upside break this morning. Not really best practice for us to enter a trade this time of day, especially a EUR/LON volatile pair.
Something we can keep an eye on and see if it's worth tomorrow as we enter our typical trading session.
GBP/USD steadies at support!The Pound maybe feeling the weight of another downturn in Brent and WTI, as Cable seems reluctant or just unable to extract much from the broad Buck wane within a 1.4141-01 range and Sterling is also losing out to the Euro in cross terms with EUR/GBP forming a firmer base on the 0.8600 handle. Overall further upside can be expected with eyes on the 1.4250 level looking for a break and continuation.
EURNZD H4 - Long SetupEURNZD H4
Looking for something as indicated and summarised on the previous video analysis that was sent through. We are seeing some consolidation from the latest rally which may actually pull us back south of our support zone temporarily.
If this is the case, regardless, we need to see a pop higher maybe 1.70150 ish, before coming back to retest 1.69650 support to scout out possible long entries.
GOLD 200DAY / 1,800 RETEST provides a compelling opportunityOne has to imagine that gold will find its way back to its 200 day before marching on higher given the fundamental tailwinds.
If gold trades down to 1800 and we get a nice close above it - I would believe this to be a compelling opportunity to get long or add length if you took a more aggressive entry prior to the breakout.
A change in market sentiment with respect to the USD, or a FED hiking cycle beginning sooner than anticipated (or the anticipation thereof) , would act as a circuit breaker to this trade.

CADJPY H1 - Long SetupCADJPY H1
Trading from current price up to previous high still offer 3.3R, measurable trade no doubt. Not the typical kind of analysis we like that trade, seeing as it's more a trending environment, but we still break and retest out trading zones, and it's on a slightly lower timeframe.
Happy to see how things unfold though.
EURNZD H4 - Long SetupEURNZD H4
Jumped ship again, prefer this structure as compared to what we had marked on EURAUD and also the pending order limit we had set.
Thinking exactly the same play for this setup, multiple H4 rejections seen with the latter 2pm closing bearish. Expecting corrections now down to 1.68, which is where I'm looking to scout longs.
EUR/USD nestling support! Both looking susceptible to steeper depreciation vs their US rival, with the Euro only just recovering from a stop-chase through the 18 DMA (1.2060) in time to avoid more sell orders sitting at or beneath 1.2050.
Nevertheless, EUR/USD also faces heavy and layered option expiry interest from the round number above to 1.2150, including 1.3 bn at 1.2100, 1 bn from 1.2115-35 and the same size between 1.2140-50.
Overall further upside is anticipated over the coming weeks.
GBPUSD H4 - Long SetupGBPUSD H4
1.40 support incoming, looking to either set a pending order on this price level or an alert to make sure this move isn't missed, perfect corrections, shame we closed out yesterdays short at 200 to try and get a better entry!
Win some, miss some, lose some. Part of the game, 1.40 support will be a great buy entry for us I feel.
GBPUSD H4 - Short Trade SetupGBPUSD H4
As mentioned earlier, still focussing on this pair, we are yet to have seen a GBP bearish correction or a USD relief rally.
DXY responding nicely to that 90.00 DXY whole number, I'd like to see some sort of a correction this week, can play with profits secured from minor dips we were playing with yesterday from shorting the 1.41525 price.
EURNZD H4 - Short SetupEURNZD H4
We have almost realised the full move from support to resistance here, relatively bullish for the whole stint. Pretty much all swallowed up during the eastern session.
Certainly a region we could anticipate a relief rally and another S/R wave back down from 1.68 to 1.66800.
