OANDA:XAUUSD   Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar
Don't believe me just watch ;) XAUUSD has been all on my watch, since midnight yesterday. Haha.. The past week and a half gold has been on a decline. This has been a profitable week, and the best part about this week, I have been able to share my trade. Win or lose. Today is my very first time trading gold on a live account. My heart was in my stomach when I set my entry and went to bed, but I had good confluences consistent with my bias. I generated an area of liquidity in the four-hour timeframe. I also set a bearish trendline in the four hours. One last thing I spotted in the four hours, was a bullish engulfing. I set my Fibonacci from the recent swing low to the recent swing high. Due to no drawdown, we were able to clear a smooth 1:3 efficiently. I did hold my trade out of session, as you can see. I wanted to see price break the recent swing high. This was a measure of greed... Either way, I closes on trade at a Stop Loss in Profit, and the last one manually.
