Trade Journal Entry – XAUUSD (Gold Spot)
Date: July 15, 2025
Platform: TradingView (Demo Account)
Timeframe: 4H
Direction: Long
Status: Active trade under review / possible re-entry
Key Levels
- Sell-side liquidity tapped: ~3,340–3,345
- Support zone (mitigation block): ~3,316–3,310
- Last resort buy area: ~3,283
Market Context
Clear Break of Market Structure (BMS) confirming bullish bias.
Price swept recent sell-side liquidity above 3,360, failed to hold, and sharply pulled back.
Price is now entering a mitigation zone, sitting above the major buy-side liquidity zone and last resort demand.
Multiple liquidity layers marked below current price — good confluence for a reaction if structure holds.
Trade Rationale
Scenario A: If price respects ~3,316–3,310 zone and forms bullish engulfing/reversal, consider re-entry.
Scenario B: If price breaks deeper into 3,283 zone with SFP (swing failure pattern) or V-reversal, it's a last-chance long from premium demand.
Trade Plan
Watch for bullish reversal candle or lower timeframe BOS (M15) inside 3,316–3,310 zone.
If entered, SL below 3,283. TP remains at prior high ~3,492.
Manage risk carefully — only one more key demand zone below.
Emotional Reflection
Felt confident on initial entry, but market invalidated short-term structure. Now reassessing calmly — waiting for re-entry confirmation without chasing.
Reflection Questions
- Did I exit early enough once price showed failure to hold above 3,360?
- Will I maintain composure and wait for structure confirmation in the new zone?
- Is my risk sized properly for this secondary attempt?
