Learn What Will Make You Profitable in Forex & Gold Trading What brings the consistent profits in trading? Talking to hundreds of struggling traders from different parts of the globe, I realized that there are the common misconceptions concerning that subject. In this educational article, we will discuss what really will make you profitable in trading. Trading Signals 🔔The first thing that 99% of struggling traders are looking for is signals. Why damn learn if you can simply follow the trades of a pro trader and make money?! The truth is, however, is that in order to repeat the performance of a signal provider you have to open all your trading positions in the same exact moment he does. (And I would not even mention the fact that there will be a delay between the moment the provider opens the trade and the moment he sends you the signal) Because the signal can be sent at a random moment, quite often it will take time for you to reach your trading terminal and open the position. Just a 1-minute delay may dramatically change the risk to reward ration of the trade and, hence, the final result. Expert Advisors 🤖The second thing that really attracts the struggling traders is trading robots (EA) . The systems that trade automatically and aimed to generate consistent profits. You simply start the program and wait for the money. The main problem with EA is the fact that it requires constant monitoring . It can stop or freeze in a random moment and may require a reboot. Moreover, due to changing market conditions, the EA should be regularly updated. Without the updates, at some moment it may blow your account. Trading robot is the work : trading with the robots means their constant development, monitoring and improvement. And that work requires a high level of experience: both in coding and in trading. Technical Indicators 📈The third thing that struggling traders are seeking is the "magic" indicator. The one that will accurately identify the safe points to buy and sell. You add the indicator on the chart, and you simply wait for the signal to open the trade. The fact is that magic indicators do not exist. Indicator is the tool that can be applied as the extra confirmation. It should be applied strictly in a combination with something else, and its proper application requires a high level of expertise in trading. Luck in Trading 🍀The fourth thing that newbie traders seek is luck. They open the trade, and then they pray the God, Powell, Fed or someone else to move the market in their favour. And yes, occasionally, luck will be on your side. But relying on luck on a long-term basis, you are doomed to fail. But what will make you profitable then? What is the secret ingredient. Remember, that secret ingredient does not exist. In order to become a consistently profitable traders, you should rely on 4 crucial elements: trading plan, risk management, discipline and correct mindset. 🧠What is correct mindset in trading? It simply means setting REALISTIC goals and having REALISTIC expectations from the market and from your trading. 📝A trading plan is the set of rules and conditions that you apply for the search of a trading setup and the management of the opened position. Trading plan will be considered to be good if it is back tested on historical data and then tested on demo account for at least 3 consequent months. ✔️In order to follow the plan consistently, you need to be disciplined . You should be prepared for losing streaks, and you should be strong enough to not break once your trading account will be in a drawdown. 💰Risk management is one of the most important elements of your trading plan. It defines your risk per trade and your set of actions in case of losses. Even the best trading strategies may fail because of poor risk management. Combining these 4 elements, you will become a consistently profitable trader. Remember, that there is no easy way, no shortcut. Trading is a hard work to be done. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

GOLD | CORRECTION, THEN UPTREND The price has surpassed the previous resistance level, closed a 4-hour candle above it, and recorded a new high at 2947. For today, we anticipate a correction toward 2908 before the price resumes its upward movement, aiming for a new high at 2970, our target. However, caution is advised, as sudden corrections from elevated levels are always possible. Additionally, gold prices have surged to an all-time high due to escalating trade tensions, driven by President Trump’s announcement of a 25% tariff on autos. This strengthens the outlook for gold, with expectations that central banks will continue accumulating reserves, potentially pushing prices toward $3,000. Market attention is also on the Federal Reserve’s policy stance, with its January meeting minutes set for release later today. Any bearish reaction to the FOMC minutes is likely to be short-lived.

Latest gold analysisThe overall trend of gold is still in the upward channel. The current trend is mainly to do more on the pullback, but we need to pay attention to the upper resistance pressure. In the short term, it was blocked and fell back at the 2947 line. It is currently testing the support near 2930. If this position stabilizes, you can consider going long, and the upper targets are 2942 and 2950. For the short side, it is still not advisable to rush to short before gold falls below the upward channel. The ideal short intervention area is around 2915. If it rebounds to the 2925-2930 range under pressure, you can consider shorting, and the lower target is around 2905-2912. Overall, the current trend is mainly to do more at low levels, and we need to pay attention to whether the 2930 support is effective; if the channel is broken, the lower space may be further opened, and the short-selling idea can be gradually followed up.

XAU/USD : Important Zones for BUY and SELL ! (READ THE CAPTION)By analyzing the 30-minute gold chart, we can see that gold continued its bullish momentum yesterday, reaching a new all-time high at $2,942, as expected from our previous analysis. It was still too early to anticipate a correction, and the strong momentum pushed the price higher. Currently, gold is trading around $2,900, and I expect the price to dip below $2,896 soon to collect liquidity before we assess its reaction to this level. Additionally, there is an FVG between $2,929 and $2,934, which I expect to be filled soon as price moves higher. Keep a close watch on how gold reacts at this level for potential SELL setups. The key BUY zones to consider are $2,875, $2,866, and $2,856.

THE KOG REPORT - Update End of day update from us here at KOG: A bit of a dissapointing CPI even though it moved, it didn't break the range! So now we're back in the accumulation range with MA's surrounding the candles pending another breakout. We've near enough played the range box box yesterday and completed nearly all KOG's bias of the day and red box targets for the day, so not bad to end. Now, we have support below 2890 and resistance at 2903 with range high at 2918. We would say as long as support can hold we will potentially see more upside to stretch out those traders targeting that wick. Not much more to say team. KOGs Bias of the day: Bearish below 2910 with targets below 2885(HIT) and below that 2870(HIT) Bullish on break of 2910 with targets above 2934, 2945 and above that 2947 RED BOXES: Break above 2890 for 2895, 2902 and 2905 and 2912 in extension of the move Break below 2980 for 2875(HIT) and 2867(HIT) and 2865(HIT) and 2860 in extension of the move As always, trade safe.

Is the gold bull market still going on?From the daily level, the gold price has successfully stood above the 5-day moving average and the 10-day moving average (MA5, MA10), and closed with a positive line. In the case that the current moving average has not been effectively broken, based on the strong state of gold, there is still the possibility of further rise in the future. If the daily line can close with positive lines continuously, the room for growth is expected to gradually open up. In the 4-hour chart, gold is currently in a slow rise. Judging from the current trend, the bull market pattern has not been destroyed. The daily line maintains a unilateral rise, and the MA5-MA10 moving average maintains a golden cross upward; the weekly line has risen sharply for seven consecutive days, strongly opening up the upper Bollinger track space, and the bullish sentiment is high. Since it has successfully broken through and stabilized the key point of 2906 today, the intraday situation is strong, and the operation still maintains a bullish idea of ​​callback, and pay attention to the pressure near 2940 in the evening.

Gold Rallies Above $2,900 Again, Will it Hold? Gold has retested the record high of 2,940 twice, raising concerns about a potential double or triple-top formation, as the RSI hovers near overbought levels last seen in November 2024—after which Gold retreated nearly 100 points. However, the latest price action still indicates strength to the upside, driven by haven demand amid unresolved negotiations concerning the Russia Ukraine war. Ahead of the talks, the EU reaffirmed support for Ukraine, while Ukraine rejected any agreement made on its behalf, as discussions shifted exclusively between the US and Russia. Possible scenarios: 🔹 Bullish Scenario: A close above 2,940 could extend gains toward $3,000 and $3,050. 🔹 Bearish Scenario: If the 2,940 resistance holds, Gold could retrace to support levels at 2,860, 2,790, and 2,720, respectively - Razan Hilal, CMT

Gold at Key Resistance – Waiting for a Short SetupGold (XAU/USD) has been in a strong uptrend, but I believe a selling opportunity may emerge soon. • Price is trading near the top of a rising channel, approaching a key resistance zone. • Overextension and possible exhaustion could signal a reversal or deeper pullback. • My approach is to wait for confirmation—signs of weakening momentum, bearish price action, or fundamental shifts before entering a short position. Technical Outlook: • Resistance: $2,900 - $3,000 (potential rejection area) • Support: $2,600 - $2,500 (targets if a sell-off occurs) • Indicators: Watching RSI for overbought conditions and candlestick patterns for reversal signs Fundamental Factors: • U.S. economic outlook – A strong labor market or inflation surprises could pressure gold. • Central bank demand – If demand slows, gold may correct. • Geopolitical risks – Uncertainty could delay a reversal, but a shift in sentiment may trigger selling.

XAU/USD: Ready for a Gold Rush or a Deep Dive?After analyzing Gold on the M30 chart, we can observe that it has been moving upwards with strong momentum. Today's focus is on the fact that Gold had previously tested an extreme Order Block (OB) on the H1 chart. Post that, we now have an unmitigated Order Block below, which is expected to be tested once the price reaches the 3000 level. For today’s outlook, if prices close above 2944-45, we can consider buying with the potential for a new all-time high. However, if we see a close below 2936-35, it would be prudent to wait and observe which level the price will test next. Remember, it is important to stay aligned with the trend, as the trend is your friend.

Gold short-term analysisFrom the current market, the unexpected plunge of gold not only caused the 2900 mark consolidated last week to be lost again, but also formed a weak daily line to close sharply, and the closing of 2882 made the advantages accumulated by the bulls vanish. However, although gold has lost its upward advantage at present, I do not recommend being overly bearish or chasing shorts this week! Because firstly, the overnight gold price plunge was not caused by the essential reason, but was stimulated by the outside world, which triggered the market to sell. In this case, the follow-up force is difficult to maintain; Second, the decline trend on Friday and Tuesday is somewhat similar. Although the possibility of a lower test cannot be ruled out, with the break of the 2900 mark, the support strength obtained by the bulls will become stronger; Third, in addition to the known fundamentals that are favorable to gold, the current gold ETF holdings are still rising, which means that the market is still enthusiastic about buying gold, so it is optimistic that the gold price will return to the 2900 mark this week. From a technical perspective, the weekly line has rarely risen for 8 consecutive weeks. Last week, a rising candle with a long upper shadow line was closed, which is favorable for the shorts. However, given that other periodic indicators maintain a bullish arrangement, the Bollinger Bands are running upward as a whole, and the weekly level is generally biased towards the bulls. In terms of the 4-hour level, after the obstructed decline on Friday this week, the short-term moving average has completed a downward turn, and the short-term moving average extends downward in a dead cross pattern. Among them, the 5-day moving average and the 20-day moving average overlap in the 2908 area, forming a double suppression. The Bollinger overall intends to open, and the MACD indicator dead cross downward pattern shows sufficient downward momentum. From this point of view, the 4-hour level is still dominated by the shorts. On the whole, the short-term operation strategy of gold today is recommended to focus on rebound selling, supplemented by retracement buying! Key points: First support: 2873, second support: 2862, third support: 2853 First resistance: 2893, second resistance: 2900, third resistance: 2908 Operation ideas: BUY: 2865-2868, SL: 2857, TP: 2890-2900; SELL: 2897-2900, SL: 2908, TP: 2870-2860;
