- 0:00you guys have no idea how many dms i get
- 0:03asking to learn how to trade gold gold
- 0:06is like
- 0:07the gold standard of day trading if you
- 0:09can get successful trading gold you can
- 0:11make a lot of money very quickly
- 0:13and if you suck at trading gold you can
- 0:15lose a ton of money
- 0:16very quickly so in this video i'm going
- 0:19to show you
- 0:20how i would scalp gold i do not trade
- 0:23gold because i've been
- 0:24burned on it before so it left a bad
- 0:26taste in my mouth
- 0:28but i've been back testing it and using
- 0:30the strategies that i've made videos on
- 0:32this
- 0:32channel i'm getting some pretty good
- 0:34results
- 0:36[Music]
- 0:38welcome back to the channel everybody my
- 0:40name is artie and this
- 0:41is the moving average the show where we
- 0:43discuss everything day trading to keep
- 0:44you
- 0:45profitable on a consistent basis so
- 0:47because gold has different contract
- 0:49sizes you can place a small trade on
- 0:51gold
- 0:52and make way more money than you would
- 0:54the same small trade on forex it's the
- 0:56same with indices or cryptocurrencies
- 0:58the issue with gold is that the price
- 1:00can spike up or down dramatically at a
- 1:03moment's notice
- 1:03so here is my warning do not trade gold
- 1:06with live money if you've never done it
- 1:08before
- 1:09start on demo the next thing that you
- 1:12need to do before you even touch this
- 1:14is watch all of my strategy videos i've
- 1:17got a whole playlist
- 1:18on the channel about all the strategies
- 1:20that i do i do not make a video on a
- 1:22strategy
- 1:22that i feel does not work you won't see
- 1:25me reviewing strategies
- 1:26that simply suck just to get the views
- 1:28the reason i say this is because you
- 1:30need to use a combination of strategies
- 1:33you need to know support and resistance
- 1:34levels you need to be able to trade off
- 1:37of moving averages going with the trend
- 1:39you need to be able to identify
- 1:41engulfing candles and
- 1:42when to trade off of them and what a
- 1:45three line strike looks like you're
- 1:46going to use
- 1:47all of these strategies all combined
- 1:49into one
- 1:50the best way that i can explain it is to
- 1:52watch my rsi divergence video
- 1:55because i cover all of the confluences
- 1:57that you need to have
- 1:58to have a successful gold trade i have a
- 2:01pen
- 2:01and paper also because i like to write
- 2:03down what i'm seeing
- 2:05it helps me execute my trades properly
- 2:07without getting lost in all the noise
- 2:09and letting my emotions take over my
- 2:11trade so without further ado
- 2:12let's get into the charts so like i said
- 2:15gold at a moment's notice can swing
- 2:17up and down very quickly hitting
- 2:19people's stop losses
- 2:20as you can see right here and right here
- 2:23so
- 2:24in order to trade gold properly in my
- 2:27opinion you need to go to a lower time
- 2:30frame
- 2:30one minute is far too noisy it creates a
- 2:33lot of false signals and i do not
- 2:35recommend
- 2:36it but the five minute is nice and quick
- 2:39and yet still gives you decent signals
- 2:41for a decent trade position
- 2:43these trades are going to be extremely
- 2:46short term
- 2:47i'm talking about a maximum of six
- 2:50five minute candles so less than an hour
- 2:52on any one of these gold trades
- 2:54the reason is gold is a fickle
- 2:57and i don't want you guys to get burned
- 2:59you are going to have extremely tight
- 3:01stop losses and you are going to get in
- 3:03and out of the market quickly
- 3:05so i've got gold usd up here on the five
- 3:07minute chart
- 3:08and we are going to focus on trades
- 3:11going long
- 3:12when it is above the 200 period smoothed
- 3:15moving average
- 3:16and short trades when it is below the
- 3:19200 period moving average
- 3:20again these are smooth moving averages
- 3:23so things that i need you to avoid
- 3:25completely you do not want to trade
- 3:28while moving averages are smashed
- 3:30together like this it is a no-no in any
- 3:33day trading scenario
- 3:34if you see them smashed and flat no
- 3:37touchy okay
- 3:38i want you to visually see these three
- 3:41moving averages
- 3:42fanned out at a nice slope these moving
- 3:45averages
- 3:46are smoothed they are the 21 the 50 and
- 3:49the 200.
- 3:49i also want you to put an rsi up just to
- 3:52see if the price
- 3:53is below or above the 50 level on the
- 3:55rsi
- 3:56not overbought and oversold we're also
- 3:58going to be looking for rsi divergences
- 4:00that's going to help us a lot when
- 4:02getting out of our positions so if you
- 4:04guys can catch a move as it crosses
- 4:06through the 200 period moving average
- 4:08then comes up to retest one of these
- 4:11subsequent moving averages
- 4:12you can actually get a nice decent move
- 4:16to the downside or the upside
- 4:17with a three line strike i've zoomed
- 4:20this in super close but you can see the
- 4:22price went down below the 200 period
- 4:24moving average
- 4:25we got three nice decent bullish candles
- 4:29and then a big fat engulfing bearish
- 4:32candle engulfing
- 4:33at least fifty percent of this move at
- 4:35this point
- 4:36this is where you would get into your
- 4:38short position and you would keep your
- 4:40stop loss
- 4:41right about here so for this specific
- 4:43trade your entry
- 4:44was 1778 and your stop loss is 1780.
- 4:50that is only a
- 4:51two dollar difference this is why it's
- 4:54important to keep your stop losses tight
- 4:56because gold can move quickly and really
- 4:59never ever come back to your entry price
- 5:01and you will blow your account
- 5:03nine times out of ten if you hold it
- 5:05thinking it's going to go the opposite
- 5:06direction so
- 5:07basically what we're looking at here
- 5:10usually i
- 5:10double the size of this engulfing candle
- 5:13for my stop loss but because the 200
- 5:15period moving average
- 5:17is right here i'm just gonna leave it at
- 5:19that maybe just a little bit above
- 5:21so when exiting a trade you are looking
- 5:24for an
- 5:25rsi divergence basically the price
- 5:28already has momentum you see these huge
- 5:31big fat red candles to the downside it
- 5:33has momentum to the downside so we are
- 5:36definitely going to go down to the
- 5:37oversold
- 5:38area of the rsi so we created this low
- 5:41right here and this one didn't exceed it
- 5:43but
- 5:43this one did once we see this lower low
- 5:46being formed we're automatically always
- 5:49looking
- 5:49at the rsi for higher lows
- 5:52signifying a divergence if you're happy
- 5:55with the first
- 5:56swing you got three dollars off of this
- 5:58gold trade
- 5:59and with a decent lot size like you
- 6:02could have made a lot of money off of
- 6:03this short move
- 6:04but if you're waiting for the rsi
- 6:06divergence i mean technically you still
- 6:08would have gotten out at the same point
- 6:09because
- 6:10at this close of this candle that's when
- 6:12you would have gotten out because we're
- 6:13creating
- 6:14higher lows right here and creating a
- 6:17lower low right here
- 6:18again you have to be extremely careful
- 6:20like you have to be
- 6:21very focused on lows and higher lows and
- 6:25lower lows
- 6:26structure rejection off of moving
- 6:28averages i would have gotten out of this
- 6:30trade right away when i started to see
- 6:31this consolidation
- 6:33because we rejected off of that 21
- 6:35moving average and instead of continuing
- 6:37down we started to go back up
- 6:38that's consolidation for me and i get
- 6:40out of a trade when i see consolidation
- 6:42i don't like to be in it because i don't
- 6:44know if it's going to continue down or
- 6:45go up that is your first three line
- 6:48strike and you're engulfing your entry
- 6:50and your exit now again we're only
- 6:52looking for short positions because
- 6:53we're below the moving averages right
- 6:55again we have one two and three candles
- 6:58right here with a big engulfing candle
- 7:00to the downside
- 7:01basically covering about 50 percent of
- 7:03that move so we can actually get in
- 7:04on another short position here this
- 7:06we're just going to double the size of
- 7:08that candle
- 7:09and we're going to wait for our next rsi
- 7:10divergence this one actually played out
- 7:13really really nicely because we created
- 7:15that
- 7:16low right here and on the rsi was about
- 7:18the 14 level
- 7:19showing a very very oversold market
- 7:22means that the momentum is very strong
- 7:24in that direction
- 7:25so we actually started coming up
- 7:27creating another lower low and another
- 7:29lower low so i actually would have
- 7:30gotten
- 7:31out on this first divergence here you
- 7:34can see the move is right here we had
- 7:35this low point and then
- 7:37a higher low even though the price went
- 7:40down and created a lower low that first
- 7:42divergence and this
- 7:44long wick right here that was my exit
- 7:46point at the close of
- 7:47that candle and with this one trade you
- 7:49went from 1776
- 7:51to 1769 a seven dollar move on gold
- 7:55which is not bad do you see what i'm
- 7:57getting at here you need to be
- 7:58trading with the trend you cannot hold
- 8:01back the momentum of gold with your bare
- 8:03hands it is physically impossible
- 8:06imagine a semi truck with a rope at the
- 8:08end and you see it driving by
- 8:10and it's like going slowly and you're
- 8:12like oh yeah i'm just going to grab this
- 8:14rope and hold the semi truck that's
- 8:15literally what you're doing when you
- 8:17trade against the trend with gold it is
- 8:19physically impossible for you to win
- 8:22just to keep this video quick
- 8:24all of the strategies that i'm showing
- 8:26you right now i've made detailed videos
- 8:28on
- 8:28you can find them on this youtube
- 8:31channel also if you guys are still
- 8:32watching this video
- 8:33that means that you like it so hit the
- 8:34thumbs up button so we're trading with
- 8:36the trend we're trading three line
- 8:38strikes
- 8:38for sniper entries with extremely
- 8:41extremely
- 8:42tight stop losses we're looking for an
- 8:44rsi divergence to exit our trade
- 8:47and we never ever ever ever ever
- 8:51trade gold when the moving averages are
- 8:53touching each other
- 8:55or flat again you guys need to know
- 8:57market structure you need to know how to
- 8:58trade off of moving averages
- 9:00you need to know how to recognize these
- 9:02engulfing candles but
- 9:03this works consistently also keep in
- 9:06mind don't
- 9:07force the trade unless you actually see
- 9:09like three subsequent candles in one
- 9:11direction and then an engulfing
- 9:13do not get in on a trade like this was
- 9:16not a good
- 9:16trade to get in on even though it went
- 9:19up and you would have made money
- 9:21you're not sure about it and you should
- 9:23never ever ever do that
- 9:25write down your rules on a piece of
- 9:26paper only get into a trade when you
- 9:28have all of your confluences
