Trade Management Systems: Comparing Two Methods
📌 Method 1 – Normal SL & TP
Entry → Open trade at ENTRY.
Stop Loss (SL) → Fixed (below ENTRY for buy / above ENTRY for sell).
Take Profits (TP1 & TP2) → Both active.
When TP1 is hit → Book partial position.
SL stays the same → risk remains on the rest of the trade.
✅ Advantage:
More potential profit if market extends to TP2.
❌ Risk:
If price reverses after TP1, the remaining position can still hit SL → reducing overall profit.
📌 Method 2 – Breakeven Stop (SL = ENTRY after TP1)
Entry → Open trade at ENTRY.
SL initially fixed.
When TP1 is hit → Book 50% profit, then move SL to ENTRY (breakeven).
Remaining position:
If TP2 is hit → book extra profit.
If price falls back → exit at ENTRY (no loss).
✅ Advantage:
Trade becomes risk-free after TP1.
❌ Risk:
Sometimes market hits TP1 then pulls back, causing breakeven exit → missing bigger gains compared to Method 1.
📌 Enhanced System (Your Version with Fixed Risk)
Initial SL → Always set at 2R.
TP1 → When reached, book 50% profit (+1R on half).
Then move SL to ENTRY (breakeven) for the remaining 50%.
📊 Possible Outcomes:
Scenario Result
Price hits SL (before TP1) –2R loss
Price hits TP1, then reverses to ENTRY +0.5R profit
Price hits TP1, then TP2 +2R total profit
⚖️ Summary
Method 1 (Normal SL & TP) → More profit potential, but carries more risk on the remaining position.
Method 2 (SL = ENTRY after TP1) → Safer, risk-free after TP1, but sometimes cuts off bigger gains.
Your Enhanced Version → A defensive system:
Losers are limited (–2R).
Small winners (+0.5R) happen often.
Big winners (+2R) balance out losses.
💡 With consistent discipline, even a 40–45% win rate can make this system profitable.
Gold Plan 26/08 – Captain VincentXAU/USD – Trump’s surprise move sparks a Gold rally. What’s the next scenario?
1. News Wave 🌍
Trump unexpectedly dismissed FED Governor L. Cook , citing “irresponsible recent financial decisions.”
👉 A political–monetary shock that pushed Gold up by more than 30 points from the 3,350 – 3,352 zone, as investors feared internal instability at the FED could weaken the USD.
Safe-haven demand has been activated, but Gold is unlikely to “fly in a straight line.” The market often requires a pullback to fill liquidity gaps before a clear trend develops.
2. Technical Outlook ⚙️
Price bounced sharply from Golden Harbor 🏝️ (Buy Zone 3350 – 3342) – a key support area.
Currently, Gold is testing Storm Breaker 🌊 (Resistance 3384 – 3400) , a liquidity cluster → potential for profit-taking sell orders.
On H1, multiple FVGs formed around 3363 and 3355 → price may retrace to “fill the gap” before continuing.
👉 Intraday bias: Prioritise Sell at resistance, but watch for short Buy Scalp setups at Quick Boarding 🚤 (3342 – 3340) .
3. Captain Vincent’s Map – Key Levels 🪙
Storm Breaker 🌊 (Main Resistance): 3384 – 3400
Quick Boarding 🚤 (Buy Scalp): 3342 – 3340 | SL 3333 | TP: 3345 → 3347 → 3350 → 33xx
Golden Harbor 🏝️ (Buy Zone): 3350 – 3342
FVG Zones: Around 3363 & 3355 (short-term price magnets)
4. Trade Scenarios 📌
🔻 SELL at Storm Breaker 🌊 (Priority)
Entry: 3400 – 3402
SL: 3408
TP: 3395 → 3390 → 33xx
🔺 BUY Scalp – Quick Boarding 🚤
Entry: 3342 – 3340
SL: 3333
TP: 3345 → 3347 → 3350 → 33xx
5. Captain’s Note ⚓
"Trump’s news wave pushed Gold like an unexpected headwind. But Storm Breaker 🌊 ahead may unleash rough seas. The wise will anchor at Golden Harbor 🏝️ , while the bold may ride Quick Boarding 🚤 for fast scalps. And remember: today’s golden sea depends on the sharks at the helm."
My take on Gold Current PAGold (XAU/USD) – Daily View
Gold is bouncing between two important levels – the daily bullish FVG (support) and daily buyside liquidity (resistance). Since price is rejecting from both sides, the market is uncertain right now.
It’s better to wait for a clear close on the higher timeframe before taking any trades, otherwise there’s a high chance of getting stopped out in this choppy range.
GOLD sell setup Gold (XAUUSD) – Short Trade Idea
🔑 Key Observations:
Strong Rejection Zone:
Price faced rejection at the previous high (highlighted in purple supply zone).
Multiple attempts to break above failed, confirming seller presence.
Volume Confirmation:
The sharp bullish push from the bottom was met with equally strong selling pressure at the top.
Volume spikes indicate distribution at higher levels.
Market Structure:
Clear lower high formation after rejection.
Entry aligns with a retracement into the supply zone.
📊 Trade Setup:
Entry: Short near supply zone (around 3374–3379).
Stop-Loss: Above recent swing high (3380 area).
Target: 3356 level (previous demand zone).
Risk/Reward Ratio: ~1:5 (high probability setup).
⚠️ Risk Management:
Always use a stop-loss to protect capital.
Consider trailing stop-loss once trade moves in favor, to lock in profits.
If price breaks and closes above supply, setup becomes invalid.
Gold Scenario – Tracking the Medium-Term UptrendGold Scenario – Tracking the Medium-Term Uptrend
Hello traders,
Gold continues to follow the expected scenario. Price reacted at the Fibonacci 1.618 resistance, effectively completing the liquidity test. At present, the 3368 zone is a good area to look for buying opportunities.
The previous Elliott cycle has already completed its ABC waves, and gold now appears to be forming a new Elliott structure. Currently, price is likely in wave 3 of the uptrend, reacting at the H4 descending trendline with a mild pullback, before completing wave 5 with a breakout move from the channel and confirming the flag pattern on H4.
Strategy: Buy around 3368 with a strict stop-loss just below the previous swing low.
Target: 3410 is a reasonable profit level. After that, expect wave 4 to form and look for short opportunities from there.
The MACD remains supportive, trading above its average levels and confirming bullish momentum. At this stage, it’s all about timing entries correctly.
This is my personal outlook on gold in the short to medium term. Use it as reference and don’t forget to share your views in the comments so we can learn from each other.
Elliott Wave Analysis – XAUUSD 26/08/2025
1. Momentum
• D1 timeframe: Price is currently in the overbought zone. The ongoing bullish cycle has already produced 5 daily candles. Combined with the overbought condition, this suggests that upside momentum is weakening. If no strong breakout occurs within the next 1–2 days, it is likely that the market is still in a larger corrective phase on the daily chart.
• H4 timeframe: Momentum has turned bearish, with strong selling pressure emerging right after wave 2 was considered complete. This is an unusual sign and raises caution for the bullish scenario.
• H1 timeframe: Momentum is also about to turn bearish, which implies an incoming corrective pullback. This is not an encouraging signal at a stage where wave 3 is expected to develop.
2. Wave Structure
• D1: The main scenario still follows the larger corrective triangle. Price is unfolding waves 1–2 (green), and the current bullish leg is expected to be wave 3 (green). However, the strength so far has not been convincing. Having already completed 5 D1 candles without a decisive breakout suggests weakness in the rally.
• H4: The Asian session opened with a strong rally, but this momentum quickly faded and was followed by aggressive selling. Momentum reversed sharply, highlighting abnormal behavior for the expected uptrend.
• H1: At the 3387 level, strong selling pressure appeared, whereas this should have been the breakout zone for wave 3 (black) after surpassing wave 1 (black). Ideally, price should have pushed straight toward 3403 to confirm the impulsive strength of wave 3. This unusual behavior suggests that wave 1 (black) actually completed at 3387, and the market is now in wave 2 (black).
On the lower timeframe (M15), the current decline is forming an ABC structure, with the measured target for wave C at 3364 – a potential buy zone.
If price falls back to 3350 and breaks below, the 1–2–3–4–5 (yellow) count will be invalidated. In that case, the market may be unfolding a larger corrective structure, and the wave count plan will need to be updated.
3. Trading Plan
• Buy Zone: 3365 – 3363
• Stop Loss: 3349
• Take Profit 1: 3387
• Take Profit 2: 3403
⚠️ Note: The stop-loss range is relatively wide, and momentum does not fully support the bullish wave scenario yet. Traders should consider carefully before entering directly.

Price is consolidating near 3367 after a strong impulsive move upward and is currently reacting around a minor resistance area.
Clear ChoCH and BOS patterns indicate bullish intent on the H1 timeframe; however, liquidity pools still lie below 3343 and 3325 (buy-side liquidity).

Elliott Wave Analysis – XAUUSD 24/8/2025
Momentum
• D1 timeframe: Momentum is still rising → High probability that price will continue its bullish move on Monday.
• H4 timeframe: Momentum remains bullish → Price is expected to keep rising early in the week to complete wave (3) in yellow.
• H1 timeframe: Momentum is heading into the oversold zone → The short-term correction is nearing its end, we look for buy opportunities.
Wave Structure
• D1 timeframe: Friday’s strong bullish candle reinforces the scenario that wave (1) and (2) in blue are complete, and wave (3) in blue may already be forming. We need price to break above the top of wave (1) in blue to confirm the development of wave (3).
• H4 timeframe: Price rallied sharply and broke above the top of wave (1) in yellow → This confirms price is currently in wave (3) in yellow. With momentum on H4 still rising, wave (3) likely has more room to continue.
• H1 timeframe: The corrective ABC structure has completed, followed by a sharp and steep rally (as projected in Friday’s plan). Price broke above 3350 – the top of wave (1) in yellow → Confirming the scenario that price is in wave (3) in yellow.
o Minimum target for wave (3) in yellow: 3387.
o Principle: Do not counter-trade wave (3); instead, wait for wave (4) correction to look for buy entries in wave (5).
Trading Strategy
With H1 approaching the oversold zone and showing a mild correction, we have two options for entries:
1. Breakout: Wait for price to break above the small descending trendline as shown on the chart → Enter breakout buy.
2. Pullback entry: Wait for price to retrace to the 3362 area → Buy from there.
Trade Plan:
• Buy Zone: 3364 – 3361
• Stop Loss: 3354
• Take Profit:
o TP1: 3378
o TP2: 3387
o TP3: 3403
Gold Trading Strategy | August 25-26
✅ Daily Chart: Gold prices remain within a consolidation range, with 3380–3400 as the key resistance zone and 3350–3355 as the critical support area. During the U.S. session, there is slight upward momentum; if 3380–3400 is broken, it could open further upside potential.
✅ 4-Hour Chart: After forming a bottom in the 3311–3321 region, gold rebounded strongly to a high of 3378 and is now consolidating at higher levels. MA5 is turning upward, with MA10 and MA20 following, confirming a short-term bullish trend. MACD shows a bullish crossover with expanding red bars, indicating sustained bullish momentum. KDJ is at high levels but showing signs of a possible pullback. The overall bullish structure remains intact, but caution is needed if resistance at 3380–3400 triggers a short-term retracement.
✅ 1-Hour Chart: Gold is fluctuating between 3360–3380, with MA5, MA10, and MA20 intertwined. Price action is sticking close to short-term moving averages, reflecting a tug-of-war between bulls and bears. MACD red bars are shrinking, signaling weakening momentum, while KDJ is overbought and may form a bearish crossover, suggesting a possible short-term pullback. The 3360 support level must be watched closely.
🔴 Resistance Levels: 3380–3400
🟢 Support Levels: 3355–3350
✅ Trading Strategy Reference:
🔰 If price faces clear resistance at 3380–3400, consider light short positions with targets at 3360–3350.
🔰 If price stabilizes and rebounds from 3350–3355, consider light long positions, stop-loss below 3344, targeting 3380–3390.
🔰 If price breaks above 3400 with strong volume, consider buying after a pullback to 3380–3390, aiming for 3420–3450.
✅ Conclusion: Gold is currently in a range-bound but bullish-biased structure. The medium-term bullish trend remains intact, but short-term price action will depend on whether gold can break above the 3380–3400 resistance zone or maintain support at 3360–3350.
XAU/USD: Rally Strengthened by News FlowGold remains in a positive stance after the “dovish” signals from the Fed at Jackson Hole, with expectations of a September rate cut gaining traction. As a result, the US Dollar has weakened, providing additional support to XAU/USD.
On the chart, price has rebounded from the 3,313 support zone and is now eyeing the key resistance around 3,405. A decisive break above this level could extend the rally towards 3,440 – an area that has previously attracted heavy selling pressure. On the other hand, any minor pullback would likely be seen as a “buy-the-dip” opportunity within the current uptrend.
With alignment between fundamentals and technicals, XAU/USD is flashing a clear bullish signal, making it favourable for traders to ride the upward momentum.

XAUUSD (Gold) – Price Structure & Next Moves
Gold has been respecting channel formations and reacting strongly to key levels. Recently, price broke out of a falling channel and is now consolidating inside a new structure.
🔹 Observations:
Price bounced strongly from the lower trendline support zone around 3320–3340.
Resistance formed near 3380–3400, aligning with previous supply.
Multiple channel structures show how gold is respecting trendlines both on the upside and downside.
Buyers stepped in after a corrective phase, keeping the bullish structure intact.
🔹 Scenarios Ahead:
Bullish Path (Red Arrow):
If price holds above 3320–3340 support, we could see continuation higher.
Break above 3400–3420 could target 3480–3500 zone.
Pullback Path:
If price fails to sustain above 3380, expect a retest of 3340–3320 before another attempt upward.
Deeper support sits around 3280–3260 if sellers regain control.
📈 Bias:
Currently leaning bullish as long as price respects the channel and support zones. Short-term pullbacks remain buying opportunities.
⚠️ Note: Always manage risk with stop-loss below key supports and use trailing stops as price progresses.
Gold – Weekly Opening Update Gold – Weekly Opening Update
Hello traders,
Gold is holding firm after last week’s strong rally. As mentioned in my earlier analysis, gold has completed an ABC Elliott Wave structure beautifully, with wave C pushing higher and meeting the original target perfectly.
As the new week begins, the market has opened quietly, with price consolidating around 3368. At this stage, gold is in an accumulation phase, and traders are waiting for a clear confirmation before taking fresh positions.
Gold has formed a minor resistance at 3359. If price breaks below this level, it could act as a short-term sell confirmation, with possible entries around 3366.
On the other hand, if gold holds steady or breaks above last week’s resistance high, the bias will shift to long-term buying opportunities.
Even if a sell plays out after breaking 3359, the next strong buy zone sits around 3345, aligned with the ascending trendline.
Since price is still within the flag pattern, trading is expected to remain focused on the market’s major liquidity zones. On the D1 chart, the structure continues to favour the upside bias. Any selling setups should be kept to short scalping plays for better risk control and higher accuracy.
This is my personal outlook for Monday’s session. Trade carefully and manage your account with discipline.

August 25 Gold AnalysisAugust 25 Gold Analysis
Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's dovish signals, coupled with geopolitical risks, pushed gold prices to a two-week high, but technical indicators suggest that gold prices will face a test of key resistance levels in the near term.
Analysis of Influencing Factors
1. Fed Policy Expectations
Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole symposium was a key factor influencing the gold market. Powell clearly signaled a rate cut, hinting at a possible September cut, which provided strong support for the gold market.
His speech not only allayed market concerns about inflation but also ignited investors' eager anticipation for a September rate cut, driving a strong rebound in gold prices. Powell emphasized the growing downside risks in the job market and stated that the impact of tariffs on inflation would be relatively short-lived.
He also announced a new monetary policy framework, returning to a flexible inflation targeting framework. Market expectations for a September Fed rate cut continue to build, providing structural support for gold.
2. Geopolitical Risks
Geopolitical uncertainty also provides safe-haven support for gold. Trump has set a two-week deadline to decide whether to impose sanctions on Russia, coupled with the recent escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Geopolitical risk events such as the Russian military attack on a US-owned factory in western Ukraine have significantly increased the geopolitical risk premium. As a geopolitical risk hedge, gold often performs strongly during periods of tension in conflict-ridden regions such as the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
3. Technical Indicator Performance
From a technical perspective, gold bulls and bears are engaged in a fierce battle at key price levels:
- Upward Resistance: Strong resistance lies in the $3,380-3,400 range, with $3,385 being the core resistance level on the daily chart and $3,400 being the psychologically significant round number.
- Downward Support: Initial support lies at $3,358 per ounce, with more critical support lying in the $3,345-3,334 range.
The red momentum bar in the MACD indicator is shrinking, and the fast and slow lines are converging, suggesting the possibility of a death crossover, but the price remains in strong bullish territory. The RSI is also above its mid-axis, indicating strong bullish momentum. Despite a short-term correction, fundamentals suggest a bullish bias for the day.
Market Outlook and Investment Strategy
1. Short-Term Outlook
The gold market is likely to remain volatile in the short term, with the $3,380-3,400 resistance range becoming a key battleground for both bulls and bears.
Positive factors include expectations of a Fed rate cut and geopolitical risks supporting gold prices. Negative factors include gold approaching key technical resistance levels and weak physical gold demand in Asia.
2. Investment Strategy
We recommend a cautiously optimistic approach, focusing on key positions:
- **Long Opportunity**: If gold prices retrace to the $3,358-3,360 range and show signs of stabilization, consider a small long position with a stop-loss below $3,355, targeting $3,370-3,375.
**Short Opportunity**: If gold prices rebound to the $3374-3375 range but fail to break through, consider a small short position with a stop-loss above $3381 and a target of $3366-3364.
Trade with caution and manage risk. Best of luck!

XAUUSD Gold Trading Strategy August 25, 2025XAUUSD Gold Trading Strategy August 25, 2025:
The market revolved around the FED and Trump, gold rose at the end of last week and was limited by the 0.236% Fib level.
Fundamental news: Mr. Powell's unexpectedly dovish remarks reinforced the market's hopes for a rate cut in September. As a result, the US Dollar Index fell sharply on Friday, reversing the upward trend of the first 4 trading days of the week. Moreover, the strong increase on Friday also pushed the gold price to skyrocket nearly 36 USD during the week.
Technical analysis: After a strong increase when it had compressed enough force in the bullish pattern and broke the downtrend channel on the H1 frame, the gold price at the beginning of this week's trading session is having a correction phase. The uptrend of gold is still maintained. The liquidity zones combined with FIB support and MA lines will now be our trading area. The gold price is very likely to return to the old ATH zone of 3500 this week.
Important price zones today: 3345 - 3350 and 3330 - 3335.
Today's trading trend: BUY.
Recommended orders:
Plan 1: BUY XAUUSD zone 3345 - 3347
SL 3342
TP 3350 - 3360 - 3370 - 3390.
Plan 2: BUY XAUUSD zone 3330 - 3332

TP 3335 - 3345 - 3355 - 3390.
