Real Trade (Gold) May 29, 2025 (Thursday) 1 win 0 losses (+5 RR / 170 pips) and an entry point explanation over 700 pips
Big Q is here.
Today was a very straightforward, typical strike zone.
We often receive questions from those considering a purchase like, "Can I identify the same kind of strike zone as everyone else?"
In a situation like today, I strongly recommend that you verify it yourself.
Golden Strike is a 4-hour based day trading strategy.
So, as today, if you can find a clear strike zone on the 4-hour chart that everyone would think of, there is no problem.
Today there were multiple entry points, so I will summarize and explain them below.
※The figure below is a 15-minute chart. The actual entry is on a 1-minute chart.

① Pass
Golden Strike is a long-only method. If you can enter at a low price, the risk-reward ratio will certainly be larger.
However, forcing an entry during a strong downtrend carries the risk of chasing the bottom and suffering consecutive losses.
This point is exactly that typical case, and it is safer to observe according to the rules.

② (Lower risk than ①) Recommend skipping
It is a situation similar to ①. If you enter, the result would be a -1 RR stop-out. If you decide to enter, anticipate the next move like in the patterns in the playbook, and don't miss the opportunity.

③ Entry by a rock-solid pattern
After temporarily taking out the most recent stop, a rock-solid pattern for Golden Strike appears. This is a typical high-advantage entry point.
④ Alternative point if ③ is skipped
If you are not confident enough to enter at ③ and cannot enter, ④ is a safer entry candidate.

⑤ My actual entry
I was in meetings in the morning, so I could not enter at times ③–④.
The RR drops, but the risk is low, so I entered at this point.
I conservatively secured profits at the initial profit target (+5 RR / about 170 pips).
After that, it extended further, so if I had entered at ③ or ④ and let profits run, it would have been a big trade over 700 pips.
They say that waiting is important in trading.
The market in the first half of this week reminded me of the weight of those words.
With many wicks and multiple horizontal lines drawn—
In a market where the strike zone is unclear, do not force entries; gracefully skip.
Today, true opportunities come after such moments.
