Pre NY... Around 75K range already made.... 40k to ATH test. 40k back to round numbers 4300 ( to confirm reverse) PA still hovering in buy only territory...need big engulf candle to sign reverse. And why i am stubborn bear?

Based Daily indi ....once we break ATH...we will never back lower again ( just like case break 3500 several months ago).

What my concern is the timing...

will it happen before crishmas or after new year.... Now....will it break the current H/L...or stay inside the range.. Will see carefully.

Ignored

As next year i expect more ATH record than down....for my lesson too.
Expecting bear ...even big BEAR with Santa will come is my BIG mistake.

" if double or tripple top cant sign price down anymore...its also cant prevent the price to make another ATH"

Another thing that i learned:
Key Level (S,R) previous level respected.

Not in trade but yesterday move : sell opportunity from 4530 and 4550 is still good choice.....(bull need liquidity to make move)

Selling at 4500,4550...maybe 4600 next week with risk management still have good profit....despite buy from every low offcourse....lol

Still no trade till next january....just observe n learning from mistakes.

Thanks

Stay Gold

im not telling that sell is impossible, it is said: buy is better option and safer (please do understand clearly). And at the time i post, it do not reach another ATH (and im not check chart at the time price drop) but the strong up trend remain still, and price still not cross W1 R3 which is most of my entry trailing stop and SL
Anyway nice entry, that kinda good entry you have
Price also have open D1 gap at 447x which will be target if seller start getting in (also still remain uptrend due to this level still in side the H4 channel up)
this might give the visual for channel much better

{quote} I don't use stop loss ...I cut loss when floating loss is 5% (or earlier if PA shows I am wrong) Actually the positions are still open by accident as I am not the kind of traders who like to leave positions open overnight or over the weekend ...what happened was I already planned to close the positions on Wednesday but then the broker closed early (other brokers were still open! - my bad I didn't pay attention to holiday schedule) and I just could not close the positions (even until now)

It's not out of malice or criticism of the trading method; I used to do this with gold, in fact, I did it for 3 years, until one day, in about 5 or 10 minutes, I had an absurd drawdown. Unless you're monitoring the market 100% of the time, but I've had terrible experiences without a stop-loss, GBPUSD wiped out one of my accounts. So consider using a stop-loss; when it happens to you, you'll think it's too late now, but at some point the market won't forgive you.

no it is just basic to me.
why this broker open later than most other brokers?
would it be advantageous to the trader or the broker if the broker start late?
I have been trading for so long that i have seen most of the tricks used by bad brokers.

I've seen an absurd difference in two brokers I've traded with; M1 candles are highly manipulated to trigger stop-losses at the opening. I've seen large gaps simply disappear; it's bizarre (Hantec (manipulates a lot at the opening) x XM (opens later, I haven't noticed anything in that regard yet, which is why I asked).

Two tips that can help...

Focus on only one asset, and focus on one direction, for example (XAUUSD, only buy, with confirmations of course, wait for pullbacks at support and only buy).

i would not think it s manipulation brother.. be careful with misinfo, we got a lot of noobies here.
brokers have liquidity providers different from others..
that 'triGgeR stop-l0ssEs' you mentioned is just an algo doing its thing.. don't be weird about it.
the gap happens due to illiquid time of the session.. so better not leave weekend trades unless it s really really really far and gained so much from your position..
sometimes it only takes 1 google search..
for broker's open time, that i dont know.. okay just google that thang.
Safe trades.

People will say it’s liquidity, thin volume, intraday conditions, or brokers will give the same explanation.
The truth is simpler: every broker has its own way of making money, one way or another.
You can’t stop it, and you can’t really do much about it. What they do is usually legal, even if it’s not fair.
If XM opens late, they will just say “this is how our trading conditions are.” I actually know why they open late —
I was with XM in 2020. Opening late allows them to prepare better, manage risk, and often come with wider spreads at the start.

With IC Markets, there are other things you may not notice easily.
I’ve personally seen cases where swaps were switched in MetaTrader — longs showing as shorts and vice versa. It happened to me multiple times and I had to complain.

Also, if you start making too much money from carry trades, suddenly the swap conditions change or disappear.

Brokers do monitor accounts. Large profits, sudden gains, or big withdrawals can trigger flags in their system.

After that, conditions can change quietly.

So yes, the candle differences you see between brokers, gaps disappearing, stops being hit at the open — it’s not imagination.
Each broker runs their own book and manages risk in their own way. That’s just part of this business.

The best thing we can do is understand this reality, manage risk carefully, and not expect a “perfect” broker.

That's exactly what I was trying to say. Start generating exorbitant profits, and you'll even see the administrators contacting you. At Hantec, once, when I was generating a relatively high profit with a robot, they contacted me to find out how I was operating. It was certainly to invent an excuse and portray it as illegal to block future withdrawals, etc., etc... I'm not stating this as a fact, but it seemed that way. Since I lost that relatively large amount of capital at the time, I only made a few withdrawals, so I couldn't reach any conclusion.

Yes, I would agree with you.

Another thing I’ve noticed is that most brokers insist on a deposit refund before allowing profit withdrawals.
On paper, it sounds normal, but practically it helps them track whether your account is exceeding the original deposit by a large margin.
It’s another control mechanism.

I’m not saying this is illegal or that every broker acts in bad faith, but the systems are clearly designed to protect the broker first.
If profits stay small, nobody cares. Once profits or withdrawals increase, flags start popping up.
That’s just how the game is structured.

I heard a story here on FF that they froze profits, preventing withdrawals. They did an audit with the police and everything to find out if the guy was cheating. After a year of analysis, they released the guy's withdrawal. I don't remember who it was now, but I read this story in some thread. It's worrying that some people are making 100% of their income from the market.

Exactly. Brokers aren’t charities; they’re businesses with their own risk models. Late opens, swapped swaps, disappearing carry trades — it all comes down to how they protect their book. The charts remind us: price is real, but conditions are broker‑made. The best edge is knowing the game and managing risk, not chasing a “perfect” setup.

{quote} Hello dear Ellen. In my opinion, FPMarkets is currently an excellent broker for trading gold. I’ve been using it for about two years now; the spreads are very low, and I haven’t had any issues so far. I’ve also deposited significant amounts without any problems. If it doesn’t have restrictions for your country, it’s one of the best options Choose the RAW account Goodluck
