Learn the 4 Best Strategies to Maximize Your Profits in Trading
In the today's article, we will discuss 4 classic yet profitable forex and gold trading strategies.
1️⃣Pullback Trading
Pullback trading is a trend-following strategy where you open the positions after pullbacks.
If the market is trading in a bullish trend, your goal as a pullback trader is to wait for a completion of a bullish impulse and then let the market correct itself. Your entry should be the assumed completion point of a correctional movement. You expect a trend-following movement from there.
In a bearish trend, you wait for a completion of the bearish impulse, let the market retrace, and you look for short-entry after a completion of the retracement leg.
Here is the example of pullback trading.
On the left chart, we see the market that is trading in a bearish trend.
A pullback trader would short the market upon completion of the correctional moves.
On the right chart, I underlined the buy entry points of a pullback trader.
That strategy is considered to be one of the simplest and profitable and appropriate for newbie traders.
2️⃣Breakout Trading
Breakout trading implies buying or selling the breakout of a horizontal structure or a trend line.
If the price breaks a key support, it signifies a strong bearish pressure.
Such a violation will trigger a bearish continuation with a high probability.
Alternatively, a bullish breakout of a key resistance is a sign of strength of the buyers and indicates a highly probable bullish continuation.
Take a look, how the price broke a key daily resistance on a daily time frame. After a breakout, the market retested the broken structure that turned into a support. A strong bullish rally initiated from that.
With the breakout trading, the best entries are always on a retest of a broken structure.
3️⃣Range Trading
Range trading signifies trading the market that is consolidating .
Most of the time, the market consolidates within the horizontal ranges.
The boundaries of the range may provide safe points to buy and sell the market from.
The upper boundary of the range is usually a strong resistance and one may look for shorting opportunities from there,
while the lower boundary of the range is a safe place to buy the market from.
EURCAD pair is trading within a horizontal range on a daily.
The support of the range is a safe zone to buy the market from.
A bullish movement is anticipated to the resistance of the range from there.
Taking into considerations, that the financial instruments may consolidate for days, weeks and even months, range trading may provide substantial gains.
4️⃣Counter Trend Trading
Counter trend trading signifies trading against the trend.
No matter how strong is the trend, the markets always trade in zig-zags. After impulses follow the corrections , and after the corrections follow the impulses.
Counter trend traders looks for a completion of the bullish impulses in a bullish trend to short the market, and for a completion of bearish impulses in a downtrend to buy it.
Here is the example of a counter trend trade.
EURJPY is trading in a bullish trend. However, the last 3 bearish moves initiated from a rising trend line. For a trader, shorting the trend line was a perfect entry to catch a bearish move.
Such trading strategy is considered to be one of the most complicated , because one goes against the crowd and overall sentiment.
With the experience, traders may combine these strategies.

XAU/USD) bearish trand analysis Read The ChaptianSMC Trading point update
Technical analysis of XAU/USD (Gold vs. USD) on the 4-hour timeframe suggests a bearish outlook. Here's a breakdown of the key elements:
---
Key Levels:
1. Resistance Zone (Upper Yellow Block):
Around 3,450–3,500.
Price was previously rejected from this level, forming a double-top like structure.
2. Rejection Point (Mid-Level Zone):
Near 3,300–3,310.
Price repeatedly failed to break and hold above this zone, indicating strong selling pressure.
3. Support Zone / Demand Block (Lower Yellow Block):
Around 3,100–3,125.
This is the target area, labeled clearly as TARGET POINT: 3,116.501.
---
Indicators:
200 EMA:
Currently above the price, suggesting downward momentum.
Acting as a dynamic resistance.
RSI (14):
Around 39, slightly above oversold territory (30).
Indicates bearish pressure but not yet oversold — room for further downside.
The chart suggests that if price breaks below the mid-level support, we could expect a move towards the support block around 3,116.
The bearish wave projection drawn in the chart confirms the trader’s expectation of a drop.
The setup appears to be a break-and-retest of the mid-zone, followed by continuation downward.

Trading Idea Summary:
Bias: Bearish

Target: ~3,116
Invalidation/Stop: Close above 3,300–3,310 (rejection zone)

Gold Bears Aim for 3200 – Selling Rallies Remains the PlayIn my Friday analysis, I highlighted the potential for Gold to retest the 3270 support zone, and indeed, the Asian session and the opening of the new trading week confirmed this move, pushing Gold down to a low of 3255.
The overall chart structure remains strongly bearish following the false breakout above the 3370 resistance and the spike above 3400. This suggests that sellers are firmly in control, with a high probability of further downside.
I expect a break below 3270 support in the coming sessions, targeting the 3200 zone as the next major level for bears.
For now, the strategy remains clear:
Sell rallies as long as 3350 resistance remains intact. 🚀

RSI 101: The Secret of RSI’s WMA45 Line and How to Use ItIn my trading method, I use the WMA45 line together with RSI to help spot the trend more clearly.
Today, I’ll share with you how it works and how to apply it — whether you're doing scalping or swing trading.
Why WMA45?
WMA (Weighted Moving Average) is a type of moving average where recent prices are given more importance.
WMA45 simply means it takes the average of the last 45 candles (could be 45 minutes, 45 hours, or 45 days depending on your chart).
Because it moves slower than RSI, it helps reduce the “noise” and gives you a better idea of the real trend.
This idea is not new — many traders have tested RSI strategies also use this line. I just applied and adjusted it in my own way.
👉 How to set it up on TradingView (very simple):
What WMA45 Tells You
Trending
This line shows you the overall direction of the market:
📉 If WMA45 is going down, the price is likely going down.
📈 If WMA45 is going up, the price is likely going up.
Also, the steeper the line, the stronger the trend is:
Looking at the example above, the WMA45 line starts from the same level in two different phases, but the slope is different. The steeper line shows a larger price range.
This happens because the price was more volatile, which caused the RSI to move more sharply, and that, in turn, made the WMA45 slope steeper.
In multi-timeframe analysis, when the trend on the higher timeframe is strong (shown by a steep WMA45 line), the RSI on the lower timeframe will usually move within a tighter range and react more accurately to key levels.
If you’re not sure what these key RSI levels are, check out my previous post here:
For example, in a strong downtrend on H1, RSI on M5 might not even reach 50:
✅ What does this mean for trading?
Use WMA45 on higher timeframes to define trend bias.
On lower timeframes, watch RSI responses at key zones for optimal entries.
When holding positions, WMA45 helps determine whether to stay in the trade.
Moving Sideways
Here’s something important to note: when WMA45 is flat, RSI will keep crossing back and forth over it.
Depending on where WMA45 is flat, RSI tends to move within that range and creates different sideways price patterns. Here are the main types:
Around 50 → price moves in a box: According to RSI theory, the 50 level is the balance between buyers and sellers. RSI fluctuating around this causes price to move sideways in a rectangular box range.
Above 50 → price goes up in a rising channel: Above 50 is where buyers dominate sellers. RSI operating in this zone will continually create bullish candles pushing the price upward.
Below 50 → price goes down in a falling channel: Below 50 is where sellers dominate buyers. RSI in this zone will consistently form lower highs and lower lows, pushing the price downward.
Trend Reversal of WMA45
WMA45 is calculated from the average of 45 candles, so it's almost impossible for it to reverse direction suddenly. When it's sloping (trending), it takes time for RSI to fluctuate enough to "flatten" it before it can reverse.
As shown in the example, after WMA45 slopes up, before it turns downward, RSI must cross back and forth through it to reduce the steepness => flatten it => then reverse.
Does this align with Dow Theory? It represents the phases: Trend > Sideway > Trend. Sideway is when the WMA45 line is flattened.
✅ What does this mean for trading?
After a trend forms, if you want to enter a counter-trend trade, patiently wait for WMA45 to flatten to confirm the previous trend has ended.
Dynamic Support and Resistance
In addition to being a trend indicator for RSI, WMA45 also serves as a dynamic support/resistance level for RSI.
You will often observe RSI reacting when it encounters the WMA45 line.
In an uptrend, WMA45 acts as support for RSI.
In a downtrend, WMA45 acts as resistance for RSI.
Notably, if the reactions occur at higher RSI values, the resulting price support is stronger. Conversely, if reactions happen at lower RSI values, the price is pushed down further.
In the above example, in the first reaction around RSI 60s, RSI dropped by 9.6 points and price dropped by 12 points. In the second reaction at RSI 40s, RSI dropped similarly, but the price dropped by 25 points.
✅ What does this mean for trading?
You can use WMA45 as an entry zone for your trade: Wait for reactions with WMA45 on the higher timeframe, then switch to a lower timeframe to find a trade entry.
Use WMA45 as a take-profit or stop-loss level: For a short trade near WMA45, you can stop out if RSI crosses above it.
When monitoring these reactions, pay attention to the number of reactions—more reactions require more caution in trading.
Some Trade Setups Using WMA45 and RSI
1. Intraday trading
Trend: Follow the trend on the H1 chart.
Entry zone: At WMA45 of H1.
Entry confirmation: 2 methods:
On M5: when WMA45 of RSI is already flattened, and RSI has crossed above WMA45.
On M5: when a divergence appears in RSI.
2. Scalping
With the RSI’s reaction to WMA45, even on smaller timeframes (M1, M5), you can scalp when RSI touches WMA45.
When WMA45 has a slope and RSI returns to touch it, you can enter a trade with SL behind the candle close (10–20 pips to avoid stop hunts and spread), and TP to the nearest peak.
As mentioned, the first touch gives the best reaction.
My trading system is entirely based on RSI, feel free to follow me for technical analysis and discussions using RSI.
(XAU/USD) Buy Trade Setup – Entry, Target & Risk Management PlaEntry Point:
3,140.34 USD
This is the suggested level to enter a long (buy) trade.
Stop Loss (SL):
3,121.66 USD
A protective level to limit losses if the trade goes against the setup.
Target Point (Take Profit - TP):
3,251.33 USD
This is the EA target point — where profits are expected to be taken.
---
3. Risk/Reward Ratio:
Risk: From 3,140.34 to 3,121.66 = 18.68 points
Reward: From 3,140.34 to 3,251.33 = 110.99 points
Risk/Reward Ratio ≈ 1:6, which is very favorable.
4. Resistance Point:
Around 3,222.45 - 3,227.27
This area might act as a challenge for price movement, potentially leading to temporary retracements.
5. Indicators:
Moving Averages: Red (shorter period) and Blue (longer period) lines help indicate trends.
The price is moving above the short-term MA but currently under the long-term MA, which might suggest a short-term bullish move within a broader downtrend or sideways range.
Conclusion:
This is a bullish setup, anticipating a reversal or continuation to the upside after a pullback:
Buy Zone: 3,140.34
Stop Loss: 3,121.66
Take Profit: 3,251.33
If the price drops to the entry point zone
Gold’s Short-Term Setup!!!Gold ( OANDA:XAUUSD ) started to fall today after the news " The United States has dropped its tariffs on Chinese goods to 30%, down from a brutal 145%, while China is slashing its own duties on US imports to just 10%, temporarily, for the next 90 days. "
Gold is moving near a Heavy Support zone($3,198-$3,136) .
In terms of Elliott wave theory , it appears that Gold has completed five downwaves , and we should expect Gold to rise at least to the Resistance zone($3,280-$3,245) .
It is possible that selling pressure on Gold will increase again with the opening of the US marke t. But this analysis is in the short term , and it is likely to hit Target before the US market opens.
The Bullish Engulfing Candlestick Pattern can also be a sign of Gold rising , at least in the short term .
I expect Gold to rise to at least $3,241.890.
Note: Stop Loss(SL): $3204.820

THE KOG REPORT - UpdateEnd of day update from us here at KOG:
Today's update mentioned we would stick with the plan as the bias level was working well and we said we'll stick with the targets until further notice. For the week, you can see we got the move from the red box into the lower level we wanted, then the bounce, then the rejection from the red box and the bias level targets were ticked off one by one. Has it been easy? No! Has it been worth the wait, YES! We said be careful of the range, wait for the breakout and then we'll get in, those that waited managed to capture the trade. A couple which were shared with the wider community.
Now we've added our lower red boxes with resistance standing at the 3230 region which if attacked first and rejected can give us the continuation downside. Ideally, we want one of these levels below on the boxes to hold, and the capture the scalp upside. Lots of news tomorrow, so guaranteed to be more whipsawing and choppy price action.
Unless we give you immediate level 50-80pips distance which are guaranteed to be hit, it's a hard task to give you the extreme levels and movement like we do, so please make sure your risk models are up to scratch if you're following.

Gold Bulls Are Loading — Don’t Miss the Fair Value Launch Zone🔍 XAUUSD 30M | Smart Money Breakdown
Gold just gave a liquidation + FVG bounce setup with a high-probability bullish reaction.
Let’s break it down like a sniper 🧠👇
🔻 1. Falling Channel Structure
Gold’s been grinding down in a neat descending channel, consistently taking out liquidity beneath swing lows.
This compression usually ends in aggressive expansion — and Smart Money knows it.
🔁 2. FVG Reclaim = Institutional Entry Zone
The chart shows a Fair Value Gap (FVG) perfectly respected around $3,226 – $3,236.
Price dipped into this imbalance and is now reacting — textbook Smart Money entry.
You're seeing clear demand stepping in after a sell-side liquidity sweep.
📈 3. Target = Upper Channel + Imbalance Fill
If momentum holds, Gold likely reaches for the upper channel resistance and fills the imbalance zone up to ~$3,280+.
That’s your primary draw on liquidity.
🎯 4. Trade Plan (RR ~3:1)
📍 Entry: Around FVG zone ($3,226–$3,236)
❌ Stop-Loss: Below the FVG zone
✅ TP: $3,280 (upper channel tap)
Smart Money is entering early while retail waits for confirmation breakouts 👀
🧩 Key Confluences:
✅ Falling Channel
✅ Fair Value Gap Tap
✅ Bullish Engulfing Response
✅ Clean RRR Setup
✅ Liquidity Sweep Prior to Entry
📊 Summary:
This setup screams Smart Money Accumulation. Gold hunts the lows, reclaims the imbalance, and is now gearing up for a bullish run. The reaction off the FVG is your golden ticket.
Let price work — don’t chase, just manage risk like a pro.

XAU/USD..1h chart pattern..**short trade on gold (XAU/USD) from 3272 with a target of 3200**—a **75-point drop**. Let’s break this down:
---
### **Trade Analysis: Sell Gold @ 3275 → Target 3200**
1. **Potential Profit**:
- **72 points** (3272 – 3200).
- If trading 1 lot (100 oz), this is **$720 profit**.
2. **Key Levels**:
- **Entry**: 3275
- **Target**: 3200 (support level)
- **Stop-Loss (SL)**: Should be above a recent swing high (e.g., 3300–3320).
3. **Risk-Reward Ratio**:
- If SL = 3320 (48 points risk), Reward = 72 points → **1:1.5 ratio** (acceptable).
4. **Technical Justification**:
- **Bearish Scenario**: Gold fails to break 3300 resistance, pulls back to 3200.
- **Support at 3200**: A break below could lead to 3150 or lower.
- **Confirmation Needed**: Look for rejection at 3272 (bearish candlestick patterns, RSI divergence).
5. **Fundamental Factors**:
- **Strong USD** → Gold weakens.
- **Fed Hawkishness** (rate hikes) → Negative for gold.
- **Geopolitical Calm** → Less safe-haven demand.
---
### **Trade Execution Plan**
- **Entry**: Sell at **3275** (or wait for rejection confirmation).
- **Stop-Loss**: **3300–3320** (adjust based on volatility).
- **Take Profit**: **3200** (first target), then trail if momentum continues.
- **Alternative**: Partial profit at 3225, move SL to breakeven.
---
### **Caution**
- Gold is volatile—unexpected news (war, Fed pivot) could spike prices.
- If 3200 holds as support, consider closing the trade or tightening stops.

AJA's Gold view This weekRight after gold hit it's all time high. ATH. Viewing from the daily timeframe, it created an inducement, which we've been waiting for, for a while now.
We've our inducement at 3,201. Right where my alert is set at. Hoping it takes it down to our breaker block right at 3,164 and 3144, where the buys can start coming in.
Major trend for gold is still Bullish, so we only wait for this correction to be over. Hopefully, with time, giving us a new all time time. ATH
Do comment what you think. Thank you.
HelenP. I Gold will rebound from trend line to resistance zoneHi folks today I'm prepared for you Gold analytics. After an aggressive rally from the support zone, the price has been consolidating just below the resistance area. What’s important now is how price behaves around the trend line, which has acted as dynamic support since early April. The most recent pullback landed exactly on this line, where buyers quickly reacted, forming a higher low. This move suggests that the bullish structure remains intact and buyers are defending their positions. The market is currently hovering near 3325, but with momentum slowly building and no major bearish breakdowns, it’s reasonable to anticipate another push higher. The resistance zone between 3405 and 3435 is the next key area, and it aligns with the top of the recent impulse move. If XAUUSD holds above the trend line and breaks through the 3405 level, we could see a continuation toward 3435, my current goal. Overall, the market shows a steady uptrend, supported by rising lows and a strong reaction at the trend line. Until this structure is broken, I remain bullish.

Gold’s Make-or-Break Level: $3167 Is the Key to the Next MoveGold Spot is sitting at a critical inflection point — and if you’ve been watching the charts, you know exactly where the pressure is building: the $3167 zone.
This level has acted as a mid-term support floor, cushioning gold’s recent corrections and providing bulls with a lifeline. But that cushion is now getting thinner, and if price action breaks below this area decisively, the implications could be sharply bearish.
👀Why $3167 Matters👀
Take a look at the recent structure. Every bounce, every bullish attempt in the past week, has leaned on $3167. It's not just some random line — it’s where buyers have consistently stepped in to defend.
But now? The bounces are getting weaker. Volume’s fading. And price is consolidating right above support — never a good sign.
If gold breaks $3167 and closes below it, expect an acceleration to the downside. Momentum traders will likely pile in, and we could see a quick slide into the $3075–3052 zone, where the next real demand sits.
✨What I’m Watching✨
A clean hourly candle close below $3167 — ideally with follow-through volume.
Any retest of $3167 after a breakdown could offer a textbook entry for shorts.
🎁The Bearish Scenario
If the break happens, I’ll be targeting $3052 for the first bounce. That’s where previous accumulation kicked in — and it lines up with a cluster of reaction lows from late April. It’s also a psychological round number and a potential spot for intraday reversal plays.

XAU/USD..2h chart pattern..I'm planning a *short trade (SELL)* on the *XNG/USD* (Natural Gas vs. US Dollar) pair, with a resistance level at *3.720* and a selling target at *3.340*.
### *Trade Plan Summary:*
- *Entry Zone:* Near *3.720* (resistance)
- *Sell Target (Take Profit):* *3.340*
- *Potential Drop:* ~10.2% from entry
### *Key Considerations:*
1. *Confirmation Needed:*
- Wait for *price rejection* (e.g., bearish candlestick patterns like pin bars, engulfing) at *3.720* before selling.
- Check if RSI/Stochastic shows *overbought conditions* (>70) for stronger confirmation.
2. *Stop-Loss (Risk Management):*
- Place stop-loss above resistance (e.g., *3.780–3.800*) to limit losses if the breakout reverses.
3. *Market Context:*
- Is Natural Gas in a *downtrend*? (Lower highs/lows strengthen the bearish case.)
- Watch for *USD strength* (since XNG/USD is inversely affected by USD rallies).
- Monitor *inventory data* (EIA reports) or weather forecasts impacting Natural Gas demand.
4. *Profit Target Justification:*
- *3.340* could be a support level (previous low or Fibonacci retracement level).
- Consider *partial profit-taking* at intermediate levels (e.g., 3.500) to secure gains.
### *Alternative Scenario:*
- If *3.720 breaks upwards*, the bearish setup fails—watch for a potential bullish reversal.
XAU/USD..15M CHART PATTERN..gold trade signal:

Target (TP): 3240
Potential gain: 3240 - 3172 = 68 points
To analyze or act on this, here’s how you could interpret it:
⚙️ Trade Breakdown:
Entry Price: 3172
Target Price: 3240
Stop-Loss (not provided): You might want to define one (e.g., 3140 or 3120) to manage risk.
Risk/Reward Ratio: Needs a stop-loss to calculate properly.
📊 Strategy Considerations:
Is this based on technical analysis? (e.g., breakout, support/resistance?)
Is this for intraday, swing, or positional trading?
Check for upcoming economic events (like U.S. CPI, Fed meetings, etc.) that may cause gold volatility.
Would you like a chart analysis or current market outlook to support this trade? Or do you want help setting a stop-loss or risk management strategy?
HelenP. I Gold can decline to trend line and then start to growHi folks today I'm prepared for you Gold analytics. If we look at the chart, we can see how the price after several failed attempts holds in a support zone. The structure of this correction has formed beneath the previously broken trend line, and the price is now approaching it from above. What’s important is that buyers previously stepped in around this level, forming a bounce that allowed the market to reach toward the resistance zone near 3350. This area still remains unbroken, making it a magnet for future bullish targets. Currently, price action shows signs of local weakness, but the broader context favors a potential rebound. The confluence between the horizontal support zone and the descending trend line adds extra technical weight to this level. If price can stabilize here, I expect a retest of 3205, and a potential breakout above it could open the way toward my goal at 3260. This scenario assumes continued respect of the trend line as dynamic support. A clean bounce from it would signal renewed bullish interest, especially if backed by momentum on lower timeframes.

Target Zone: Around 3,450 – the last major resistance and recent high.
📉 Current Price Action:
Price recently tested the support zone and is forming a potential double bottom pattern.
EMAs are above the price, indicating a short-term bearish trend, but the price holding support may suggest a possible reversal.
A bullish trajectory is drawn, projecting a potential rise toward the target zone at 3,450.
📈 Potential Trade Idea (Hypothetical):
Entry: Near current price or on pullback to the small support box (~3,240)
Stop-loss: Below the major support (~3,190)
Take-profit: Around 3,450
⚠️ Key Considerations:
Price needs to break above the EMAs to confirm momentum shift.
Watch for confirmation with bullish candlesticks or volume spike.
Failure to hold the 3,200 support could invalidate this setup.

Gold Update – Bearish Structure Intact, 3165 in SightIn my Monday analysis, I mentioned the possibility of Gold retesting the 3200 zone, and that scenario played out as expected.
After breaking back below the 3270 support, price accelerated to the downside, reaching a low around 3208.
A rebound followed, with XAUUSD retesting the 3270 zone, which now acts as resistance after the breakdown.
Looking ahead, I expect a break below the 3200 level, with the next bearish target set around the 3165 support zone.
The plan remains unchanged:
As long as Gold stays below 3270, I’m looking to sell rallies into that resistance area. 🚀
