Took 50% profit when it hit $50 ($27.66 profit) Just in case. Gold has been in a dump lately and I was actually expecting more bullish trades today. When I saw price returning back up I closed with another $6.50 Total $34.32. Gold has a habit of respecting round numbers, Particularly ending in $5, new Hr candles, certain times of the day etc. So I took early profits. However. If you werent at home micromanaging like me. You would have waited longer and made $100 😇 What would you have done (live not in hindsight) ??

Hey everyone, I'm making a few changes to how this community is structured, and I want to be transparent about what's happening and why. Membership Changes I'll be removing all free and $10 limited access members from the community. Going forward, this will be a Premium ($50) only space. The reason is simple — tier-based access creates friction. It limits conversations, complicates what I can share openly, and splits the community's energy. By keeping things exclusively at the premium level, every discussion, resource, and strategy shared here applies to everyone equally. No more gatekeeping within the community itself. I want this to feel like a focused, high-trust group rather than a segmented platform. New EA/Bot Selection Strategy I'm also changing how I select and manage the EAs we run. From Monday, I'll be sourcing bots directly from Prop Firm Robots — one of my primary go-to resources for EA ideas. Rather than spending time testing, tweaking, and modifying bots myself, I'm going to do what many of you are already doing successfully: follow the top-performing bots based on live ranked results. Here's how it'll work: - Every Sunday morning, I'll review the weekly rankings on the site - I'll select the top 2 EAs per pair, based on: most profitable, lowest drawdown, and most trades - My ideal criteria is something that trades daily with less than 1% drawdown - Any bot that drops out of the top 3 weekly will be reviewed for removal I'll notify the group each Sunday with either a confirmation that we're keeping current bots, or details on any changes being made. For you — you have visibility into the same site (note: downloads require a paid subscription, so you can browse rankings but not pull files directly). Once I decide to retire a bot, you're free to keep running whichever ones you had previously. In the worst case, you end up with a library of free bots you can sell down the track.

https://platform.algotradingspace.com/apps/prop-firm-robots-app/ This is one of the main places where I get my EA/Bot ideas from. As of Monday, I will now choose directly from this site The best 2 EA's (from each pair). This will be based on a weekly basis. Every Sunday morning I will keep or remove any bot that doesnt rank in top 3 weekly. From the top 3 I will assess the most profitable 2, least DD, most trades. Perfect scenario will be something that trades every day, Less than 1% DD. I am spending too much time testing, trailing, modifying these bots. I will just do as many others are currently doing. In this community there are many passing challenges, making decent % profit every month just following the most successful bots on monthly or weekly basis. So from Sunday. I will send through any changes or notify if we keep. You will have access to the site but cannot download any as it is a paid subscription. Once I decide to remove a bot. You can either remove or keep whichever ones you had previously. This is my strategy moving forward. Maybe yours will be better. But worst case you get a lot of free bots you can sell later.

To summarise the key points: Right now price is at a critical pinch point — trendline support and channel base meeting at ~$4,501. The structure is still bullish but fragile here. The play is to wait for the ISM PMI at 15:45–16:00 (about 3 hours away) to define direction: - Weak PMI → bounce from here or shallow dip → Scenario A - Strong PMI → dip into the FVGs → Scenarios B. Scenario B (FVG 1 at $4,439–4,468) is the highest quality setup — better R:R and more confirmation than chasing a bounce right now. We will see what the price brings later. Could be Bearish. But unlikely at the moment.
