Short

OANDA:XAUUSD   Gold Spot / U.S. Dollar
Market on a downtrend as below 200MA. On the higher daily timeframe, price broke support turned resistance. Looking for an entry on the lower 4hr timeframe where a bearish flag pattern formed.

Entry: On the break of the lows of bearish flag at 1295.35
SL: 1ATR above the structure of the bearish flag pattern
Exit: Manually close when price closes above previous weekly candle high
Trade closed manually:
Price filled the stop entry order and went back up into a consolidation stage. I am not comfortable with this trade and exited manually with a 0.2R loss.

Lesson learnt: to place the sell stop order further away from the end of wick, or to wait for a candle close with price confirmation before entering the trade.
