Hey guys, Hope you all had a great weekend and are ready for the week ahead. I've got one more week of holiday left before I'm back home, and once I return, it's going to be full steam ahead. I've got a lot planned for the community, including the launch of a YouTube channel. I've already mapped out plenty of content, and I'm looking forward to sharing it with you all. As for the markets this week, I'd remain cautious until we see a clear break from this higher-timeframe consolidation. The current environment reminds me a lot of the February/March price action, where the best decision for many traders was simply to stay patient and wait for conditions to improve. To be honest, I'm even considering sitting on the sidelines until we get a cleaner environment. Even though we're only trading an evaluation account at the moment, I'd rather preserve the progress we've made than force trades in difficult conditions. We have some important red-folder news on Tuesday and Wednesday, so hopefully that provides enough volatility and direction to break us out of this range and give us better opportunities. As always, stay patient and protect your capital. Sometimes the best trade is no trade at all.

This is my trading plan for XAU this week. I expect the price to move up toward the VAH, sweep the swing highs, tap into the high-volume area, and then reverse to the downside.

I want to tell you about the trades I took over the last two days. I have basically become a perfect example of how someone can correctly predict everything and still somehow get stopped out and lose money. I am going to explain how two trades on two different instruments went wrong even though my overall analysis was correct, and I would like to ask for your advice. First, let’s start with UKOIL. My first entry, which I marked on the chart I shared, was excellent. I planned it as a swing trade and targeted the lowest POC. I opened a short position on Thursday night from the area shown on the chart. When I woke up on Friday morning, which is today, the price had reacted from the area I circled in white, and half of my profit was gone. Honestly, I got scared and closed the trade. After that, I opened another short from the area marked as my second entry. At that point, I fell into the fear of missing out on the move. I risked more than I normally would, and the price reacted from the swing low on the left side of the chart and stopped me out. My second trade was on XAU. There was a four-hour swing high around the POC area. I patiently watched the market because I expected the price to move short after taking that swing high. Afterward, the price formed a bearish structure, and I entered a short position. I shared one screenshot showing the overall view and two closer screenshots. The same thing that happened on UKOIL happened again. When XAU reacted upward, I moved my stop loss to my entry price. Then the price formed another bearish structure, so I opened another short position. This time, I was stopped out and lost money. After that, the price reacted from a higher area and eventually moved down to the target I had originally expected. It is very frustrating to predict everything correctly and still lose money. I know I am capable of doing this, and I know that somehow I will succeed. When the price temporarily moves against my plan, I get scared, even though there is not actually anything to be afraid of. How can I overcome this fear?

My XAU scenario for today and this week. İt can bounce from 4h gap and eventually take PDL. In bigger timeframe İ think POC will be the target this week.
