Don't Be a Hero!
Don't try to be a hero! Considering the markets uncertainty especially instrument like Gold could pop at any second, and you definitely don't want to be the last one stuck in a short. Let's just hang out and see what Monday's open brings ;)
Tell yourself: I am a patient trader...
just a friendly tip — as a new trader, don’t rush it. Watch, learn, practice, repeat.
Spend as much time as you can on demo, try different things, make mistakes there, and learn from them. That phase is super important.

Good luck and take it step by step 👍
Well said. In markets like gold, patience beats trying to be smart. Waiting for clarity and letting the market show direction is often the best trade.

Patience and Discipline for consistency
I agree with this take. Gold can flip without warning, and I’ve seen clean shorts get wiped in seconds. Sometimes staying flat really is the best trade.
From my experience, Gold punishes forced bias, whether it’s long or short. If you’re emotionally attached to being right, you’re already late. I’d rather miss a move than hold a bad position. Are you waiting for structure on the open or just reading sentiment?
i don’t look at sentiment to avoid any bias. my trading is mainly based on price action and market structure. Looking back at my trade history over the weekend,https://www.mql5.com/en/signals/2317345 i noticed that with the current volatility I’ve been trading gold more like a hit-and-run style 🙂
I’m with you on this. Gold can humble you fast, especially if you’re overleveraged or stubborn about a short. I’ve learned the hard way that being early feels smart until it’s just expensive.
