Qianlai Gold Insights: Breaking the Curse of Real Losses, This Trading Framework is Directly Usable

Having recognized the root cause of the profit gap between simulated and real trading, it is time to use a practical trading framework to address the shortcomings. Combining my years of practical experience, from trend judgment to risk control exit, I will disassemble a complete gold trading system for everyone.

1. First, set the standard: Trend judgment cannot rely on "feelings"

Judging the gold trend must not rely on subjective imagination; the moving average system is the most suitable trend-following tool for the gold market, clearly following the major trend and filtering short-term chaotic fluctuations. However, just having the moving average direction is not enough; I will wait for a clear trend signal to appear on the moving average, then wait for the market to show a clear correction or rebound pattern (not a brief fluctuation of a single candlestick) before considering entry, to avoid being stopped out by short-term spikes.

2. Then, define the details: Entry timing and risk control are both essential

After confirming the trend and pattern, there are two key points to prepare for entry: first is to use pattern analysis to determine the precise entry point, and second is to strictly plan the position size, stop-loss range, profit target, and position adjustment strategy. I have always insisted that the risk of a single trade does not exceed 2% of the account funds, the stop-loss level is set outside the key support/resistance of the pattern, and pre-set profit-taking ladder targets to eliminate ad-hoc decisions during the trade.

3. Key to breaking the deadlock: Fixed trading model

The standardized operational framework I summarize can be directly referenced:

1. Wait for the trend: Confirm the trend with moving averages, do not anticipate tops and bottoms in advance;

2. Wait for the pattern: After the trend is established, wait for a complete correction/rebound pattern;

3. Choose entry points: Enter when the pattern resonates with the moving average, double confirmation improves win rate;

4. Control risk: Lock in position size, stop-loss, and other rules before entry;

5. Take profits: Gradually reduce positions at profit-taking targets, decisively close positions if the trend reverses.

Although this model may miss some opportunities, it can avoid most fatal errors. The essence of trading is to face oneself, overcome psychological shackles, and strictly adhere to discipline to stand firm in the gold market.
