How it works

From context to a recorded outcome.

A consistent process for XAU/USD plans.

Illustrative workflow: higher-timeframe context, lower-timeframe confirmation and plan published, leading to a published plan with entry, stop, target and management
Illustrative workflow.
Process

Five steps. One defined process.

Each plan follows the same structure, from higher-timeframe context to a recorded outcome on the public record.

  1. Higher-timeframe context

    We start with the broader market context to identify key areas and the most relevant scenarios for XAU/USD.

  2. Lower-timeframe confirmation

    We look for lower-timeframe confirmation at pre-defined levels to validate the setup and refine the plan.

  3. Published plan

    The plan is published with clear levels, invalidation and management rules before any outcome is known.

  4. Updates

    We provide structured updates as the plan develops, including key adjustments if needed.

  5. Recorded outcome

    The final outcome is recorded on the public record, showing how the plan played out.

Educational

Entry, stop, target and 1R.

Each plan defines an entry, a stop and a target, with risk expressed in R multiples. This illustrates the relationship between these elements.

Rules

Rules that shape every plan.

These rules help keep the process consistent across all systems and market conditions.

Defined levels

All plans are based on clearly defined levels and invalidation.

At least 2R

Plans aim for a minimum 2R target relative to risk.

Maximum three plans

A maximum of three pending or active plans across all systems.

News pause

No new plans are published around high-impact news.

System-specific stop management

PHANTOM and ECHO move the stop to entry at 1R. TIDE trails its stop.

Daily pause per system

A system pauses for the rest of the UTC day after three stopped-out plans.

Analysis vs execution

Analysis and execution are separate.

We provide the analysis and plans. You decide how to execute.

  • Premium Alerts: you decide and place orders.

    Plans are delivered as alerts. You remain in control of your trading and order execution.

  • Learn and Analysis: free education.

    Lessons and analysis posts explain the method. They are not signals.
