Do not trade if you do not have high probability XAUUSD

It’s not just about the thrill of nailing a setup and making profits. It’s also about recognizing when an asset has you emotionally trapped, even when there’s no solid argument for your position. Here’s a lesson from my own experience:

After making a huge trade on gold (https://www.tradingview.com/chart/XAUUSD/sx1Od8IK-XAUUSD-Short/) , I became fixated on the idea that it would keep falling, completely ignoring the market structure. This blinded me to the obvious bullish signals the market was giving.

Here are the 7 bullish arguments for gold that I overlooked in my post-trade euphoria:

Monthly PCH disrespected
Weekly FVG respected
Weekly Swing Low respected

Daily Swing Low respected
Daily FVG respected

Bearish 4H FVG disrespected
4H Swing Low respected
Not a single bearish argument in sight—a full 100% probability that the price would rise, and indeed it did.

🚨 Lesson learned: Being a profitable trader isn’t just about technical analysis. It’s about mastering your emotions, understanding market structure, and managing your risk. Stay humble, stay disciplined.
