After reading and engaging in forum threads, I have decide to document my trades for Q1 2025 over here.
Here’s to a sustainable trading career!

After looking at the gold charts, with a fundamental driven bull rally yesterday on gold price due to the new tariffs introduced by both US and China, today’s markets has some relief from yesterday’s continuous buying frenzy.
A high probability of a doji forming, indicating a sideways market today.
Conclusion: Avoid trading gold for today.
After noticing a bearish daily candle yesterday, I was looking out for a short opportunity today. After a few rejections on my indicated S&D zone, I entered a short position with the details listed in the screenshot.
After a short period of volatility, my trade was concluded after 2 and a half hours. I’m done for today.

This is the main reason why you should never trade red level events such as Non-Farm-Payroll. Both retail shorts and longs wiped. It also cultivates the wrong mindset in trading. If you know, you know. For those that don’t, I will spare you the pain, don’t waste your time speculating on them, focus on learning actual probability enhancing skills.

After looking at the trend, the continuation of a bullish price action convinced me to look for a potential long trade.
I entered a buy position after the confirmation of the supply-turned-demand zone occurred, place a lower risk TP amount just below the second supply zone, and ended today’s trade in 2 hours. I am done for today.
*Lot size was 0.1, just FYI.

After analyzing the news, because of the additional tariffs that Trump has set on other metals, gold price continues to rally, so despite hitting ATHs on a technical level, I focused on looking for possible long entries.
I noticed a rally on the close of a 4H candle, so I entered a long position to ride on the candle manipulation trend momentum.
I am done for the day.

After noticing a price reversal from yesterday’s bull rally, I was actively looking out for short opportunities.
Entered one short trade early in the morning and ended my trade within 1 hour today.
I am done for the day.

Today’s trade was a little riskier as I was timing a reversal entry. Price went really close to my stop level but since it was within my S&D zone, I let it run, afterwards, the bulls subsidized and let the bears took over.
I am done with today’s trade, a little more riskier today than expected. Will continue to refine and optimize my future S&D zones.

After a strong bullish rally, I was looking out for a short position after my S&D zone was triggered. I missed out on a higher probability short as I set a limit order on 2934, but the highest price action went was 2933.83. I subsequently entered a market entry short after the 4H and 1H candle was confirmed to be bearish and the price action was far away from my bottom S&D zone.
It was slightly risky, but I attached a suitable stop loss level to account for volatility. Trade was closed within 2 hours.
I am done for the day.

For today’s entry, I utilized a Fib on the previous day candle to time a short position earlier in the day. The first trade went smoothly as according to the picture.
The second short which I entered subsequently was based off a momentum break into the S&D zone and the tip of today’s gap zone. It was slightly riskier as I could be easily stopped out by a momentum shift due to the institutional price point as seen by the reversal happening later down the road. Price eventually head down to my TP level, which was a reasonable price point accounting for market volatility and ended with two TPs for today.
The first one was based on mostly strategy, whereas the second trade was based on the observation of momentum, which was slightly riskier. Looking back, I should probably have been satisfied with the first trade and waited more patiently for a more safer second trade.
I am done for the day.

After noticing a bounce off a previous day gap, and a secondary bounce on my daily S&D zone, I entered a long position with the following details.

I noticed a strong bullish rally yesterday, so I was looking out for some relief bearish momentum for some quick short scalps.
I entered two short trades earlier at two different trigger points, with the 1st trade being a bounce off the Fib zone, the 2nd trade being a bounce off the extreme top of my daily S&D zone, with a secondary confirmation on a daily trend line I marked down this morning.
The third trade I took was a little risky as I entered a long after a strong bearish candle. However, since there was a long multiple rejection on the extreme bottom of my daily S&D zone, I went in with a long position and ended the trade under 3 hours.

I entered 3 trades today, with the first one riding on the bullish momentum. I tried timing a short after a strong bearish candle into my S&D zone, but due to the overall fundamentals being in favor of a bull market, my trade was stopped out.
I decided to focus on long positions instead, saw a bounce back near to the mini-gap today, with a secondary confirmation on the Fib zone, entered a long position, after some volatility, successfully TP-ed after 30 minutes.
