Looking for LONGS on GOLD

Gold looks like its breaking out of a bull flag on the 4HR so I've dropped to the 1HR to see what I can find.

I'm looking now for my next confirmation which is a break in key resistance at approx $1733.

A close above this level will give me a signal to enter a long here with my main target being the top of the flag.

Trade Specifics:

ENTRY - $1734
TP1 - $1751
TP2 - $1764
TP3 - LET RUN. Daily resistance above these levels sits around $1796, which I will push for.
SL - $1715
R : R - 1 : 1.6 approx. Slightly better if targeting the daily res up higher.

PS - If you are targeting the daily res at $1796, I would be inclined to put my Stop Loss down to $1710 for safety, its affordable.


Reminder - this is not financial advice, simply an idea. Please do your own research before entering any trades and ensure you use risk management such as stop losses.

Remember, there is only 5 outcomes when you enter a trade:

1. Break Even
2. Small Win
3. Small Loss
4. Big Win
5. Big Loss

Eliminate #5 from your future options.

Happy Hunting!

Unfortunately we fell back under the support we had just broken. Likely because the breakout wasn't too strong. However, still respecting the trend and previous support, so I'm happy to remain in the hunt... SL is well clear. Let it ride.
