Gold 0304 Trading Journal

608
Instead of calling Gold analysis, I would use the term of trading journal to record my trades because I may not always have a plan to trade.

So please note: This is a personal journal only, but NOT a trading suggestion.

===================Analysis=================

Yesterday gold quickly touched 1700 support and then had a huge swing range between 1725 - 1708 this morning.

From the chart, Gold is in still bearish trend and a consolidation triangle is formed.

It looks like a corrective wave-4 with a-b-c-d-e pattern. In this case, another leg down is expected to a lower low, very possible to break 1700 and to 1680 area.

I should also be careful that maybe wave-5 already ends or almost ending and then a rebounce could happen easily.

I have 2 ellipses on the chart wich shows the key decision point.

=================Possible Situation==========

No.1. Gold touchs E point, and then drops hardly to a lower low

No.2 Gold breaks above E point, and then tests 1740 area then fall back.
.

==================My Trading Plan=================

Based on these situation:

The key resistence : 1723 1740
The key support: 1700

Sell limit: 1720-1723 , SL 1727, tp 1703, 1685
Sell stop: 1699, TP 1686

Buy when my sell limit hit SL, and price re-test 1720 again
Trade active
short opened at 1720 as planned
Note
I will lock half my profit at 1709 and let the rest go
Trade closed: target reached
partial closed at 1709 now. maybe re-enter again at 1714
Trade active
I re-enter at 1717 again
Trade active
short add at 1721
Note
This pin bar is kind of a reversal signal.

I will add short if the U.S news is also negative to gold
Trade active
another short add at 1717
Trade active
it's in the bottom edge now.
Trade closed: target reached
I decide to close 70% of my short now at 1700.

1714 1717 1720 closed now.
