Metals rule: mark the level, then demand a trigger. If you chase wicks, metals will punish you.
Reality check: no method guarantees profit. But avoiding sweeps + waiting for confirmation improves odds.

1) Mark the levels that actually matter
- prior day high/low
- weekly high/low
- range boundaries
- major swing highs/lows
2) Respect sessions (timing matters)
Metals often expand during London/NY overlap and around high-impact macro events. When volatility is high, trade zones—not single-pixel lines.
3) The most common trap: the sweep
Gold loves to wick through an obvious high/low and then reverse. This is why sweep + reclaim triggers are so useful.
- Trigger: wick through level, close back inside, then break rejection candle.
- Invalidation: acceptance beyond the swept level.
