Hello everyone, I am Xiao Nuo, a full-time female trader specializing in forex and gold for five years, born in 1999. I accidentally discovered the order-taking feature here, and while trying to earn more, I also want to meet more friends. So I’d like to share my trading style and some of my understandings of the forex and gold markets. Please kindly point out anything that needs correction.

Trading style: Mainly intraday swing trading. Unlike the current senior traders’ methods, I allow myself to hold at most two positions. I strictly follow take-profit and stop-loss rules. I mainly trade in the trend, reject counter-trend trades, and avoid martingale strategies as my bottom line. The number of trades per day is entirely determined by the market conditions. Trading hours are from 10 a.m. to 12 a.m., and if I need to leave the computer for special reasons, I will close all positions.

Personal insights: “A Pitfall Avoidance Guide” for beginners
Many brothers enter gold trading because they see its “high volatility and quick profits,” even hoping to turn their fortunes overnight. But in my view, that’s not correct.

1. Gold is not a financial product; it’s a battlefield: Gold trading involves high leverage. It’s not like a fund that you buy and just hold to earn interest. It’s more like a 24-hour nonstop boxing ring. If you don’t have a concept of stop-loss, the market can knock you out in a second.

2. News is a trap; technical analysis is a filter:
Many people love chasing news—buying on good non-farm payroll reports or high inflation. But institutional news moves much faster than you. Learning to read indicators (like EMA, Bollinger Bands, RSI, etc.) is not for predicting the future but for establishing “entry discipline” so you don’t impulsively trade based on emotions.

3. This market is never about who earns more; it’s about who survives longer:
In this market, 90% of people die due to “overleveraging” and “holding positions too long.” It’s gambling with your hard-earned money. For most people, just 1U can buy a decent breakfast. Here, patience is key—slow is fast. So don’t rush; take your time.

Conclusion:
The logic of today’s gold market has changed: from “risk aversion” to “decentralization-driven.”
Although geopolitical frictions still exist, the core reason gold prices have risen above $4,800 is the reevaluation of the global central banks’ trust in the US dollar system. Gold is returning to its true nature as the “king of currencies,” no longer just a panic index. Previously, when the Fed raised interest rates, gold would fall. But now, even with high real interest rates, gold remains resilient. This indicates that underlying physical demand and long-term holdings have altered the supply and demand structure.

My trading insights:
1. Follow the trend: Don’t try to top-tick or bottom-fish. Always respect the market. Last night’s 100-point fluctuation shows how many traders have fallen.
2. Time segmentation: Avoid the诱导 actions of the Asian session; focus on the intense volatility during the European and American session overlaps—that’s where the profitable swings are.

Trading is not gambling; protecting your money is the most important thing. These are just my personal views. If there’s anything to correct, please feel free to comment. Love you all o.O$XAUUSD
