Was looking to buy gold earlier but my rule is to let a 15 min timer after news expire so to allow for a cool down.. Would have already been in profit though. Rules are Rules As im typing this the order triggered, updates as follows

Looking like the sell I wanted yesterday is setting up, again 4 out of 5 requirements met. If trend breaks I will not be adjusting my bias, I will just sit this one out

Honest opinion is the dollar continues to rally after its big move yesterday. In this case I'll only be looking to place a pending order after 0845EST for the sell stop at 1986. Keep in mind things may change from now to 0845, if it does ill add it in the comments section.

Looking to continue from yesterdays short push. No red folders in economic news scheduled today. Explanation of TP(a) and TP (b) I twin trade, so for ever position I take, I place one trade with TP and SL (a) and a second trade half the contract size at TP(b) same stop loss. Anytime TP(a) target is reached (1:1 RR) I consider the trade winning as at that...
