Xauusd trade

Gold gave the entry I was waiting for.

Price finally retraced deeper into discount, allowing me to enter the buy closer to the lower part of the range.

BUY XAUUSD: 4135–4137

SL: 4130.72

TP: 4155 → 4165 → 4170.64

I would rather wait for discount than buy at premium.

The lesson here is don't chase price.

I had the bullish idea, but I didn't immediately enter.

I waited for XAUUSD to come back into a deeper discount area.

Entry: 4135.01

SL: 4130.72

TP1: 4155

TP2: 4165

TP3: 4170.64

The patience improved the trade location significantly.

Price traded deeper into discount and reached the area I wanted.

Now I'm looking for a move back toward the previous highs.

Entry: 4135.01–4136.70

Stop: 4130.72

Targets: 4155 / 4165 / 4170.64

Risk is defined. Let the market do the rest.

Gold buyers finally got the discount I wanted. 🟢

Instead of buying the first bullish reaction, I waited for price to retrace deeper.

That patience brought the entry down toward 4135.

BUY: 4135.01

SL: 4130.72

TP1: 4155

TP2: 4165

TP3: 4170.64

Good trades start with good locations.

Price had already shown bullish intent, but the entry wasn't attractive enough.

So I waited.

Price traded deeper into discount → entry triggered.

Entry: 4135.01–4136.70

SL: 4130.72

TP: 4155 / 4165 / 4170.64

No FOMO. Wait for your level.

The market doesn't always give the perfect entry immediately.

For XAUUSD, I wanted to buy—but only at discount.

Price eventually came into my zone around 4135, giving me the opportunity.

Entry: 4135.01

SL: 4130.72

TP1: 4155

TP2: 4165

TP3: 4170.64

Now we wait for the reaction.

Discount was the key.

I wasn't interested in chasing Gold higher.

The plan was simple:

Wait for deeper retracement → enter at discount → protect below the low → target the upside liquidity.

XAUUSD BUY @ 4135–4137

SL @ 4130.72

TP @ 4155 / 4165 / 4170.64

Execution over emotion.

The previous bullish structure remained interesting, but I wanted a better price.

So I waited for the retracement.

Price eventually delivered the deeper discount entry.

Entry: 4135.01–4136.70

SL: 4130.72

TP1: 4155

TP2: 4165

TP3: 4170.64

The objective is to let price return toward the upper part of the range.

I got stopped out on BE. I will enter again.

I have set my sell stop order again, once price breaks below that level at 4147.000, my order will be triggered for the sells again

Re-analyze carefully and prioritize your profits if it's anything close to your target for the day.
Leaving profits on the table because you want a direct hit on TP on the trade all the time, is not always a wise decision for me.
I try to be very logical and flexible as possible despite having a systemic style of trading.
The system you've built should give you room for optimization and buffering. when trades don't go exactly as planned.

I waited for XAUUSD to trade deeper into discount before taking the buy.

That gave me a clearly defined invalidation and attractive upside.

Sometimes the best trade is simply waiting for the price to come to you.

Stopped out on BE again

Price have started again, it's just attacking both sides of liquidity

Then you wait for it to break a key structure to one direction

Stopped out on BE again

Pls if you are stopped out of a trade take a screenshot of your profit/loss and post for transparency
