Hi Im stuck I buy long at 4292, did a mistake and took the SL to 4200. what to do? in problem.. I was thinking to save the trade with a bigger SL
why why huge SL, you should have opened a sell near 4250 bcz it was strong resistance and if 4200 broken then it might do deep down to 4160.

I’m actually an EA trader. I build, test, and use my own robots, and I’ve been doing that for about five years now.
But over time, and because of certain personal things that happened, I became very good at recognizing, feeling, and releasing my emotions. I do that by talking to myself a lot about what I feel and why.
In early September, I decided to start trading manually on XAUUSD again, because one of my best-performing robots trades gold.
And I’m convinced that strategy isn’t the real key in trading psychology and emotions are.
Risk management too, of course.
We’re not fighting the market; we’re fighting ourselves.
So since early September I started trading manually again after years of only letting my robots do it.
In total, across two live accounts, I’ve made around €21,000, minus two initial deposits of about €2,800 each, so my manual trading since September has made around €11,000 profit, and another €5,000 came from my robots (from early 2025 until now).
So clearly, manual trading has treated me well these past weeks.
I trade with a clean chart mostly price action.
I look at candlesticks, wicks, support and resistance, to see where buyers and sellers defend key levels.
I never enter at market execution; only limit and stop orders.
For me, market execution feels like gambling and triggers FOMO, and I don’t want that.
I plan every trade.
Since last week, I’ve added the VWAP Bands indicator as my only extra tool just to see more structure.
I trade every session and yes, I open quite a few orders a week. Some people would call that overtrading, haha.
But if a plan fails, I cut the loss as small as possible; and when it works, I ride it as far as I can, doing partial closes and locking profits.
I don’t want to give profits back.
And when trades run well, I also add on especially during strong momentum.
So even though I take many trades during the week, the losses don’t come anywhere close to the wins
I also reinvest about 20% of profits back into the market for new trades.
And today, I want to thank Raventine and Babayaga for this day.
To be honest I felt the Asian sweep coming.
So I locked my profits before it happened, no problem, and I was already in new buys afterward.
Normally I never even check Forex Factory, but after that first sweep this morning, I did.
And through Raventine and Babayaga I heard that a second sweep might be coming.
At first, I panicked a bit.
I told myself, “I have to follow my own plan, not what others say.”
So I decided to close my positions for the week because I already had solid weekly profit.
After that, I set buy limits, which got triggered during the early London sweep those trades went nicely into profit again.
Then later, I was still in profit, confident that gold would keep going up today (I’ll admit it, I was even a bit hopeful).
Until I heard again that there might be a second follow-up minnie sweep.
And it actually happened.
At that moment, I thought, “Maybe I’ll give my SL more room to survive it.”
But then I looked at the potential loss it would have wiped my entire weekly profit.
That was too much stress.
That’s when I realized:
don’t hope, don’t let ego take over.
Even if you survive a sweep and price goes back up, you’re sitting in drawdown and that’s not how I want to trade.
So I closed out my positions in profit.
And, like Babayaga and Raventine said, I didn’t open any new trades today because it’s a neutral day with extreme volatility after those back-to-back sweeps.
I told myself:
“I’ll keep my green week, and that’s it.”
I’m writing this because you two really helped me with that first London session sweep,
and honestly, you saved me a lot today especially with that small follow-up mini-sweep right after it.
So thank you both sincerely.

When you post like this, try to back it up with analysis or charts so the new traders here won’t just dive in

{quote} Yes wait for clear rejection before selling 4065–70. But don’t forget, the 50 level is usually a midpoint for gold price where retracement often starts. If the price moves above it, chances of a pullback become low unless there’s a clear confirmation.
Why do i always say that 4250 is a strong resistance level?

IMO or my method what so ever, never place SL too big (Smaller than 20 pips), first of all, you have to accept that, you have been wrong to entry like that then what is your response? CUT THE LOSSES!! don't regret the losses! price could drop back to 3k instantly if there is a big enough sell (even it seem to be impossible)! Ask yourself are you ready to take that losses? if not then do not do it in first place! And try to understand thing better next time before do the thing

if gold did not hold 4255-60 area then most probably 4205 or 4180 so be carefull{image}
First target of 4205 hit and if not hold then 4180 or even more down to 4150-60

yep i know and can understand but its best to close at minimum loss rather than full account loss. anyway i think he or others will understand after some loss and experience but i am still thinking how and why even a new person can set 1000 pips sl
