XAUUSD Signals — Live and Completed Trade Record

Gold is not a currency pair with a tidy pip convention, and treating it like one is a common source of confusion. Three things matter more here than in most instruments:

The spread is large relative to short-term movement

On this account the spread runs around 260 points, which is a meaningful fraction of a five-minute range. Measured round-trip friction on this account is about 0.19R per trade. Any strategy whose average win is under roughly a fifth of its risk is paying more to the broker than it earns, so cost is a gate here, not an afterthought.

Volatility changes by an order of magnitude

The current daily ATR is 104.362 and the 15-minute ATR sets the risk unit. Because risk is defined as 2 × ATR(14) on M15, one "R" is a different number of dollars every day. That is deliberate: a fixed stop distance is a different bet in a quiet week than in a volatile one.

Sessions dominate the day's shape

The Asian session usually sets a narrow range; London frequently breaks it; the London/New York overlap carries most of the day's movement. A signal's session is recorded with it, and the performance breakdown reports results by session.

Open positions are reconciled against the last broker snapshot, taken 86m ago. The market feed has stopped reporting, so this is the last confirmed broker state rather than the current one.
