Moved stop. Keeping losses small is a hard habit to break, and I may not want to. Moved daily PT higher.

Here is what is holding gold back right now. The resistance is at the high end of the range for an ABC correction.
But, becasue it is rounding, and has approached the high side of this more than once, I am expecting stops to build above the high pivots around 1722-1723. If gold can just get that reaction to fire...

It is so much more stressful on my body to ride a trde to 30 ticks plus over and over. I feel the tension as price recedes back to near breakeven .
I am going to my first yoga class this Thursday to try to work on that

This type of bar is tough for me to read. The interpretation could go either way. But, resistance is volume, and when volume gets absorbed resistance diminishes.

I entered my current trade at around 11am EST . Added in around 11:30am, and am really fighting the urge to close this at 30+ ticks for the day. I believe the pit for gold closed already? It's been awhile.
