No trading on Friday or Monday. On Tuesday, a single trade: a 14 MGC gold short after SELL signals on the 5- and 15-minute charts, closed in three parts between 09:17 and 11:03. Earlier, a Nasdaq long had left without me. The account ends the day at $52,347.94, up $1,068.20, a new high.

09:09 · Short MGC : The signal: the indicator’s SELL on gold, on the 5- and 15-minute charts. The entry: short 14 MGC at 4,200.5 at 09:09, on the CISD (change in state of delivery). The stop was moved into profit before the first exit. Closed in three parts: 12 contracts at 4,193.2 at 09:17, 1 at 4,183.6 at 09:42, and the last on a stop at 4,191.9 at 11:03. The exit shown in the table is the average of the three. Another order was never triggered: it is in the video.Not taken · 04:30 · Long MNQ : The indicator’s BUY on the Nasdaq at 04:30, with the CISD and the 5-minute FVG just above. I wanted to take it, but price left without me, all the way to the target. No big deal: you do not chase a signal, you wait for the next one.
