January 7th's gold trading did not disappoint — 7 trades all in the red, with the account gaining nearly $20,000. No hype, no blackening, today’s feel and market grasp were both on point.

Let's look at the hard data from the performance report. The most satisfying trade was a 5-lot short position, entered at 4477.79 and hammered down to 4444.21, with a single trade profit of $16,790 — this was pure precise sniping, directly maximizing the day's gains; a 0.5-lot long earned $1,081, and a 1.5-lot position brought in $2,520, leaving no penny unexploited. Every market move was thoroughly taken advantage of.

Why could I earn such balanced profits? The key lies in rhythm and position sizing. When going long, I entered at the start of the intraday rally (for example, entering at 4445.41 and rushing to 4462.78), which requires understanding support levels; going short was even more aggressive, directly selling at the high point, taking profits immediately and running — no greed involved. The position allocation used a differentiated strategy — all 5-lot big positions were placed on the most certain shorts, while smaller positions were used to "ride the waves," akin to big positions eating big meat and small ones picking up candies, perfectly matching the market’s temperament that day.

Honestly, today’s all-green performance was 80% due to precise entry points and take-profit execution, and 20% luck. That’s why many people work all day and still lose money, while those who grasp the rhythm can achieve stable profits.
