Best Lot Size For Scalping, Day Trading, Swing Trading GOLD What is the best lot size for scalping, day trading, swing trading Gold XAUUSD? In the today's article, I will explain to you how to calculate a lot size for trading Gold for any trading strategy and trading style. As the example, I will measure lot sizes for 500$, 1000$, 10000$ XAUUSD trading accounts. Scalping Gold For scalping Gold, traders commonly apply 5m/15m time frames. In order to calculate the lot size for 5 minutes time frame trading, you will need to back test your trading strategy and find at least 5 trades that meet the rules of your trading strategy. But remember that the more trades you will back test, the better and the safer lot size you will calculate. You will need to underline the entry point and a stop loss for each trade. Then you will need to measure stop loss value of every trade in pips. Then, find the trade with the biggest stop loss in pips. In our example, the biggest stop loss is 353 pips. Open a position size calculator for Gold. As an example, we will apply some free position size calculator. Fill all the inputs. As a risk ratio, input 2%. Our best lot size for scalping Gold on 5 minutes time frame will be: 0.03 lot with 500$ trading account. 0.06 lot with 1000$ trading account. 0.57 lot with 10000$ trading account. With such a lot size, your potential risk will not exceed 2% of your trading account balance and the average risk will be close to 1%. For scalping Gold on 15 minutes time frame, find at least 5 trades based on your trading strategy rules. The biggest stop loss in 600 pips. Please, note that the higher is the time frame, the bigger are the stop losses in pips. It means that higher time frame trading requires bigger account balance than lower time frame trading. Apply XAUUSD position size calculator to measure a lot size for 15m trading. Our best lot size for scalping Gold on 15 minutes time frame will be: 0.02 lot with 500$ trading account. 0.03 lot with 1000$ trading account. 0.33 lot with 10000$ trading account. Day Trading Gold Common time frame for day trading Gold are 30M and 1H. Find at least 5 trading setups on 30 minutes time frame and measure stop loss in pips. The biggest stop loss in our example is 997 pips. According to XAUUSD position size calculator, best lot size for day trading Gold on 30 minutes time frame will be: 0.01 lot with 500$ trading account. 0.02 lot with 1000$ trading account. 0.2 lot with 10000$ trading account. The same logic will be applied on an hourly time frame. Among 5 trading setups in the example above, the biggest stop loss is 1500 pips. 500$ trading account will not be enough to control risks below 2%. You will need at least 1000$ for day trading Gold on an hourly time frame with such stop losses. Using Gold position size calculator, here are the best lot sizes for trading on 1H: 0.01 lot with 1000$ trading account. 0.13 lot with 10000$ trading account. Swing Trading Gold The main time frames for swing trading gold are 4H and Daily. In our example, the biggest stop loss is 2800 pips. 1000$ account will not be enough for taking such a trade with 2% risk. Taking the trade with minimal 0.01 lot, the risk will be 28$ or 2.8% of 1000. Using XAUUSD lot size calculator, the best lot size for swing trading on a 4H will be: 0.07 lot with 10000$ trading account. Before you start trading on a real account, you should know exactly your risks in pips. Knowing the biggest stop loss will help you to carefully measure the safest lot size for your trading style. Make sure that you have sufficient balance to not exceed 2% risk per trade and analyze as many past trading setups as possible. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

Is Gold Predicting a 50-Point Rate Cut? Gold surged to an all-time high before pulling back, as investors await the Federal Reserve’s first move to ease monetary policy in over four years. Traders are pricing in a 67% chance of a 50-basis-point rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch Tool. Yet, despite growing expectations of an aggressive start to the policy easing, gold has slipped 0.5%, paring last week’s gains to 2.9%. Could we see more downside in gold if a 25-basis-point eventuates from the Fed? $2,530 could be a potential level of support in this scenario. Technical indicators, including the Relative Strength Index (RSI), have eased from near-overbought levels but perhaps not enough to suggest a more significant decline in gold prices is imminent.

GOLD ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone, Another ranging day with side by side movement for the most part of today, as the market looks for a blueprint in this new range. Yesterday we got the first Bullish target hit at 2581 and stated that we needed to also keep in mind the Bearish gap below at 2567. Today we got the bearish target 2567 hit and now ema5 is playing just above the level. If we see a cross and lock below 2567 then we will see the retracement range open up for a test. Failure to lock below 2567 and we will see the Goldlturns above being re-tested keeping in mind the open gaps above. We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up. We are taking extra caution with our buys in this new range, as bigger corrections are likely. We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 30 to 40 pips. As stated before each of our level structures give 20 to 40 pip bounces, which is enough for a nice entry and exit. If you back test the levels we shared every week for the past 24 months, you can see how effectively they were used to trade with or against short/mid term swings and trends. BULLISH TARGET 2581 - DONE EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 2581 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 2591 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK ABOVE 2591 WILL OPEN THE FOLLOWING BULLISH TARGET 2603 POTENTIALLY 2615 BEARISH TARGETS 2567 - DONE EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 2567 WILL OPEN THE RETRACEMENT RANGE RETRACEMENT RANGE 2554 - 2538 EMA5 CROSS AND LOCK BELOW 2538 WILL OPEN THE SWING RANGE SWING RANGE 2516 - 2506 As always, we will keep you all updated with regular updates throughout the week and how we manage the active ideas and setups.

DAILY CHART MID/LONG TERM CHART UPDATEHey Everyone, Please see update on our daily chart structure that we have been tracking and trading successfully for a while now. Last week we stated we stated that we still have the candle body close above 2521 for the gap to 2566 and we would need Ema5 lock to further confirm and strengthen this gap. Currently ema5 is playing just under it and we will continue to observe and update this. - This has played out perfectly with 2566 now hit completing this target. We now have a candle body close above 2566 leaving a long term gap to 2608 and if we get a ema5 lock then this will further strengthen the gap. We have to also keep in mind that we have a support range between 2566 - 2521 for longer range support areas to buy strategic dips, should the corrections take place before completing gaps above. We will use smaller timeframe analysis and trading plans to navigate the range in true level to level fashion. Our long term bias is Bullish and therefore we will continue to use our smaller timeframes to buy dips using our levels and setups. Buying dips allows us to safely manage any swings rather then chasing the bull from the top. Thank you all for your likes, comments and follows, we really appreciate it! Mr Gold GoldViewFX

WEEKLY CHART MID/LONG TERM CHART UPDATEHey Everyone, Please see update on our weekly chart idea and analysis that we have been tracking and trading for several months. Previously we stated that we had the candle body close above 2505 leaving a gap to 2557. We also stated that we need to keep in mind that we have a ema5 detachment below highlighted on the chart with a circle for a possible correction area. We then got the detachment touch below two weeks ago, followed with the bounce like we analysed. Last week the bounce completed the full range and hit our target at 2557 perfectly. Just amazing to see our analysis play out in true level to level fashion. We also stated that all channels that break usually require the channel top to become support outside the channel for further continuations before new channels form and once again this played out like we analysed. We now have a candle body close above 2557 leaving a long term Axis gap target to 2603, which we shared on this chart number of weeks back. The new weekly candle will have a detachment below for correction range which will show up when market opens. Please note any corrections below that fail to provide support outside of the channel, means price breaks back into the channel, in which case the channel re-activates for trading and tracking level to level once again Therefore, if we see a rejection before the gap and a break back into the channel then we will use the levels within the channel to provide the bounces, inline with our plans to buy dips in true level to level fashion, using our smaller time-frames keeping in mind the long range gap for the future.. Buying dips allows us to safely manage any swings, instead of chasing the bull from the top. Thank you all for your likes, comments and follows, we really appreciate it! Mr Gold GoldViewFX

GOLD 1H CHART ROUTE MAP UPDATEHey Everyone, Our 1H chart is once again representing level to level, inline with our plans to buy dips. Monday we stated that 2495 support target was hit and we were seeing price bounce off the retracement range to head towards 2506 bullish target. - This was hit perfectly followed with ema5 cross and lock above 2506 opening 2523, which was also hit perfectly. No further lock above 2523 confirmed the rejection back to 2506 weighted level now turned support, providing the bounce, as per our analysis. We will now see price play between 2506 and 2523 and will need ema5 lock to confirm breakout or fadeouts We will continue with our plans to buy dips and keep note of any unfilled gaps below, which helps us plan to buy dips accordingly. However, as always each of our weighted levels gave the 30 to 40 pip bounces, as analysed and played out perfectly! We will keep the above in mind when taking buys from dips. Our updated levels and weighted levels will allow us to track the movement down and then catch bounces up. We will continue to buy dips using our support levels taking 30 to 40 pips.

GOLD (XAUUSD): Potential Scenarios Ahead of CPI Ahead of US CPI data, Gold is stuck on a key daily resistance based on the current All Time High. Depending on the reaction of the price to the news, I see 2 potential scenarios. Bullish Scenario If the price breaks and closes above the resistance of the range on a daily, a bullish continuation will be anticipated at least to 2550 level. Bearish Scenario The price has retraced from the underlined blue daily resistance and is currently testing an intraday horizontal support. If the market breaks and closes below that on a 4H, we can anticipate a bearish continuation at least to 2508. Patiently wait for the release of the news and then follow the market. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️
