Do not short, Just price going up is not a reason for shorting

The market prioritizes different news at different times. Right now, solid macroeconomic data isn't the primary driver unless the numbers are significant outliers. Geopolitics is currently the main catalyst; everything else is just noise

Not sure what this is going to do next. So far gold did not care what session it is , asia , NY, etc. Whoever/whatever is moving this up is still behind it. I was able to capture most of today's move, from 5270's all the way till 5400. I still have ...

Have not set a stop loss. Please note the position is small. I normally lose more money on my small positions because I pay less attention to it. I should be careful here. This thing do not want to go lower, maybe it will do a long candle by quickly ...
