The Real Reason You Can't Win on the Gold 1-Minute Chart: Things You Must Decide Before the “Entry Conditions”
When losing continues on the gold 1-minute chart, many people start looking for new entry conditions.
- Is there a more accurate indicator?
- Is there an expert advisor with a higher win rate?
- Is there a stronger signal than now?
I used to change my method every time I lost.
However, increasing entry conditions did not stabilize performance.
The reason is,that I only thought about “when to enter” and did not decide “when not to trade.”.
Gold is not always a market that can be targeted
Gold has large price movements and can be profited from even in short timeframes.
On the other hand, during directionless times or around major economic indicators, sharp reversals and irregular price movements increase.
If you include such situations as entry targets, you won’t be able to wait for a favorable pattern.
Especially when losses are piling up,
“It seems like movement is about to happen soon”
“This time I might be able to grab it”
you tend to enter easily just based on such expectations.
However, in order to keep profits, it is not necessary to capture every price movement.
Participate only in situations where you can make your judgmentsis easy for you.
Three things to decide before entering
When I trade gold at night, before looking at entry conditions, I check the following three points.
1. Is the current direction clear?
Even if it is rising in the short term, it may be against the larger trend.
It is important not to judge only by the 1-minute chart, but to check the current direction from a somewhat broader perspective.
2. Is price movement not too wild?
A market that moves greatly can look attractive.
However, chasing after a rapid rise or fall after it has already occurred tends to cause buying at high prices or selling at low prices.
It is not a matter of “enter because it’s moving,” butto confirm whether you can anticipate the stop-loss level after entering.
3. Is there no reason to pass?
Around major indicators or in a directionless range, there is no need to participate forcibly.
Passing on a trade is not missing out on profits; it is a judgment to avoid unnecessary losses.
Winning does not come from the number of entries
Previously I believed that once I opened a chart I must trade.
As a result, I couldn’t wait for good opportunities and entered in ambiguous places many times.
However, after narrowing down the scenes where I trade, wasted stop-losses decreased and I gained more leeway in each decision.
The reason gold 1-minute chart is unstable is not the method itself,but that I couldn’t choose the market to participate in.
