QO1! trade ideas

Dipping my toes with 1-Ounce Gold Futures CME in 2025 launched a new futures instrument called 1-Ounce gold. Day trading margin requirement is $16.5 and overnight trading margin requirement is $165. This has been a great way to start trading in live markets with low capital requirements. 1OZ price action closely mirrors GC gold futures so there is a lot of content and experts that share their ideas about where gold is going. 1OZ is equivalent to 1/100 of Gold Futures and tick sizes are 0.25 equivalent to $0.25. Great for a beginner like myself to get a feel of the markets to test strategies and also experience the emotions of being in a position; being up and being down. These emotions cannot be simulated when backtesting or paper trading. While experiencing these emotions, I have been journaling how the trades make me feel and behave. I have learnt more about myself that day-to-day life experiences do not subject me with. I started my journey mid-2025 and so far I have had more losing trades than wins. However, 0.25 tick only represent 25c I treat it as the paying the market a low-fee for my education. Who knows if I will be resilient enough to continue this journey in the months or years to come? We all have to start somewhere/sometime. Hope I have the discipline to stay the course and not give up. Is anyone out there a beginner like myself trading 1OZ? Please comment and tell me how 1OZ has been treating you?

Gold looks interesting again.Gold has successfully worked off its prior overbought condition through a period of sideways consolidation rather than a corrective drawdown. This resilience—marked by the metal’s unwillingness to print lower lows—points to a constructive setup. Technical Setup Support: The 50-day EMA has held as a key support level, reinforcing the bullish bias. Breakout Potential: Should price resolve higher out of the current range, the move could prove sharp and decisive given the stored energy of consolidation. Breadth Confirmation: While gold has moved sideways, GDX (miners) has already pushed to fresh highs, and silver is breaking out, signaling strong cross-complex participation. Thematic Takeaway The broad alignment across gold, silver, and miners suggests a healthy underlying bid for the precious metals complex. This type of breadth historically strengthens the case for sustained upside momentum rather than an isolated rally.

GC Midweek Outlook – Daily Imbalance Tested, H4 FVG Still in PlaPrice has now completed the move into the Daily FVG (~3425–3443) that I highlighted earlier this week. This is the critical mid-week decision point. Bearish Case: If price rejects here, downside rotation into the untouched H4 FVG (3377–3396) remains possible before any larger move higher. Bullish Case: If buyers defend the H1 imbalance and hold above 3412, continuation toward the Monthly High (3451) is on the table. ADX remains under 25, suggesting no strong trending conditions yet — market is still liquidity-driven. I’ll be watching the Daily FVG reaction and how price handles the H1 imbalance as key intraday signals.

Gold Futures | ADX Heating Up – Continuation or Trap at MH?Price has pushed away from the untested H4 FVG, showing strong bullish pressure. With ADX > 25 on the 15m and close to crossing on 1H/4H, momentum is shifting into trend mode. My watch: Break + retest of yesterday’s high and MH level for continuation longs. Only looking for shorts if liquidity sweeps above MH and we see strong rejection. Question is: do we run higher with ADX confirmation, or is this just a trap before a deeper pullback?

Gold Eyes $3,700 Amid Overbought SignalsGold broke out of a multi-month trading range when the spot price finally cleared resistance around $3,450. It took some time for the ascending triangle to play out, and this could mean gold is now on its way towards $3,700. However, the metal has quickly reached overbought levels and may be due for a pause. Breaking Out The breakout could be significant and may trigger a move to much higher levels over time; it just doesn’t mean it will all happen at once. One way to measure the breakout from the ascending triangle pattern suggests the precious metal could climb to about $3,700. The relative strength index also confirms the breakout, rising above a downtrend that had formed between April and August. The rise above the trend line on the RSI confirms the breakout and signals that the consolidation period has ended. Overbought However, the precious metal did not take long to reach overbought levels, with its value rising above the upper Bollinger Band and the relative strength index climbing over 70. This could mean that gold is due for a pause—a period of sideways consolidation—before moving on to higher prices. It could also suggest that the metal is about to run out of steam, having expended too much energy breaking out of the consolidation range, and may be due for a sharp pullback to $3,440 to retest the breakout, or even a decline towards the lower Bollinger Band near $3,200.

Gold Futures Short Into Asia 9/7/25Based on the current Fair Value Gap (FVG), Order Block (OB), and the liquidity resting below, I anticipate gold will retrace toward the Point of Control (POC) identified on the volume profile. This would provide an ideal setup for short-term selling opportunities during tonight’s PM session. My expectation is for price to open lower, push into the 3658 range, and present a bearish entry signal. From there, I’ll be targeting shorts toward the equilibrium of the FVG around 3619, which also aligns closely with previous session highs and lows—adding confluence to the setup.

GC 4H icc analysisGold has been in a clear uptrend and ran into resistance between 3574.6/3587.9. Price broke the zone and indicated that sellers were weak above 3587.9, continued to climb making a new high before correcting back below the zone. Once price hit a support, it continued back above 3587.9 aggressively making a new indication and a new high. Entry: around 3587.9 (after reversal confirmation on 1 hour) Stop loss: Below last low Target: Last swing high Not financial advice.

buyers are being setup for a trap , it seems obvious but dontmy theory for gold sells *I was initially bullish until I noticed a few tricky things * structure number 2 is not a solid low, meaning they have not proven themselves to be stronger than number 1 sellers, because they have not created a push above them, so this low is misleading and not a proper stop * obv is in a downtrend while price is in an uptrend, obv in downtrend means that there is an increased selling interest , so this diverging from price going up can only mean .... there are no buyers and price is not going up due to a huge amount of buying power but the sellers are not pushing too hard in specific areas * the 3 support lines are not solid support, in fact they are all wicks and 'fake lows' * I dont have a solid stop to enter a short, but all these things + divergence on rsi and mfi is just telling me that the obvious buy trade might be a trap

Intraday Bearish Narrative – London Session (Gold Futures)Gold opened the London session under clear downside pressure, extending weakness from the prior U.S. session. After a strong rally into the 3619–3620 area, sellers regained control, forming lower highs and pressing price below the descending trendline (red dashed). During London hours, attempts to recover above 3600–3606 failed, reinforcing the bearish bias. The current setup aligns with a sell-on-rally structure: price has retested the broken trendline and prior support-turned-resistance zone near 3610–3613, where sellers defended strongly. As long as price holds below 3613, the bearish structure remains intact, with intraday downside targets layered at: 3593.5 (nearest support, minor liquidity pocket) 3569–3566 (London extension target, key demand zone) 3550–3548 (deeper measured move target if momentum accelerates). Stops are well-placed above 3610–3613, invalidating the setup if buyers reclaim this supply zone. 📉 Bias: Bearish intraday continuation, favoring shorts beneath 3610–3613 with room for multiple downside liquidity sweeps into the mid-3500s.

return to proven sellers presents sell continuation could not post on time due to 10 post per day limit. I entered as per the drawing tool visualization. 1->3 : creates a lower low , number 2 are dominant sellers 3->4: we see a solid buying pressure coming to meet our sellers who have pushed the market below the previous attempt to push up at number 1 what next ? * a break below support / micro bull turn point with stop above number 2 would look safe * from number 2->4 I have a 2nd degree bearish divergence * increasing volitility and sideways movemnet as market prepares to open and perhaps pick a direction * vwap 1st standard deviation from number 1 *extreme of peak #2 might align with vwap and vpoc , perhaps a sell stop when price reaches there ... which it might when volume picks up *despite price going up, staying under obv trendline showing selling interest *micro bear pattern wanted
