{quote} Interesting, but you lack analysis on margin decreasing as well, and impacts associated with it. Margin fell to 5% since May 26...
at the CME its still around 8 %...and even with the margin drops gold still wont go up cause scotus neutered hump and the world not as afraid of him anymore as it was on"liberation day" last year
this is my discount broker that offers daytrading margins...others like IB i dont think do...you can ask daftpunk what he was paying at his full service broker ...you need lots of money to trade gold even now...cause its best to have double or triple the maintenance margins in the account for 1 lot that costs 24000 to trade....people in here with their prop firms and cfd brokers are delusional and have no concept how expensive it is to trade in the real world which hedge funds and even governments live in LOL and thats why all these bulls dreams of 5000 or 10000 an ounce in the next year is laughable...so when the exchanges raised the margin real traders had to liquidate their holding to meet the rules in janurary and you can see the result on the daily chart LOL
now if im lacking some kind of analysis please take it upon yourself and do it so the whole room can be enlightened
short trump and go long the deepstate

{quote} The actual margin is 5% of contract value. since Jan 26, margin value methodology changed to percentage-of-contract and not fixed dollar amount. I can agree that this methodology makes Gold expensive to hold when it goes up. But I dont agree that its had a direct impact on gold market. With all due respect, don't take it personnally, we all learn together..
- January 28, 2026: Raised silver margins (to 11% for non-HRP) following record highs. [1]
- January 31, 2026 (Effective Feb 2): Announced a hike raising gold to 8% and silver to 15% for non-HRP accounts following historic price slides
look at the gold and silver charts on these days and tell me if theres no direct impact

{quote} it has reached the 0.236 retracement. im already in shorts {image}
edit: I also view the level you marked as an internal high—meaning I don't consider it structural, not even on my H4 chart—but that's just my opinion, okay?
Oss
{quote} hasn't the H4 already closed?

hello everyone. I need help, my psychology is messing me up. I'm a perfectionist and I think it's affecting my trading. I always hop from one strategy to another even if the strategy is profitable. I always question the strategy as time goes by cos I want it to look perfectly like textbook illustration. I recently observed this pattern when I started trading using trendline, I was up 3% on prop account just 1% remaining to pass phase one, it was weekend ( this is the pattern, it always happen on weekends when backtesting) and doubt creeps in, I...
