Mechanical Consistency; Gold (XAUUSD) Trade Review for 04 Aug

OANDA:XAUUSD   Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar
Hi, This is a trade review for 02 Aug 2023.
Here are some details for the trades.

XAUUSD

1-hour time frame
2% per trade
Thursday No Trade - Range Market.
Friday 3 lose 1 partial win.

On Thursday, the market was in range bound market, no trade got triggered, quiet and peaceful trading day.

On Friday, we encountered a series of unfortunate trades following the US's Non-Farm Payroll Data. The price became super volatile, which mean the spread got even wider, triggering and hitting stop loss for the first 3 trades. Luckily the price is able to hold and trigger a winning trade, recovering some losses.

After reviewing my trades I've decided to add some improvements to myself: Avoid trading Non-Farm Payroll.

On Wednesday, we came close to securing a successful winning trade. The price exhibited a retracement to the 50% Fibonacci level before initiating a downward movement, resulting in the establishment of a new lower low. As of now, my second trade has been triggered and is actively in progress.


As a full-time working individual, I do not have the time to constantly monitor the charts and look for the "perfect" trading opportunity. This is why I adopt the mechanical trading strategy to earn extra money.

This approach eliminates the need for extensive technical or fundamental analysis and removes any guesswork. It is a 100% Mechanical rule-based strategy, ensuring disciplined and consistent decision-making.

Here's how it works: Immediately after the 1st-hour candlestick closes either below or above the 21 EMA (Exponential Moving Average), you place precise Buy/Sell limit orders. Once all parameters are meticulously set, you can confidently attend to your daily routine, including your day job, while entrusting the market to dictate the trades.
