Gold Trading Plan Template: Build Your System
Build a gold trading plan that works. Includes position sizing rules, entry criteria, daily routine. Fill in the blanks and start trading with discipline.
I wrote this guide from my desk in KL based on how I actually trade gold. No theory — just what works after 5 years of SEA market conditions.
Why You Need a Written Plan
I learned this the hard way so you do not have to. Every lesson in this guide comes from real money trades — wins and losses. The losses taught me more.
Set Your Max Risk Per Trade
The 2% rule is too aggressive for gold. Gold is more volatile than forex pairs. I started with 2% and drew down 30% in two months. 1% is my ceiling. Sometimes 0.5% when volatility is high.
Set Daily and Weekly Loss Limits
Set your stop loss based on market structure, not a fixed pip amount. I used to use 20 pips on everything. Now I look at where the trade setup invalidates and put my stop there. Big difference.
Define Your Entry Criteria
A strategy is not a strategy until you have traded it 50 times. Do not judge a method by five trades. My strategy looked terrible after ten trades. After fifty, it was consistently profitable.
Define Your Exit Criteria
The chart does not care about your opinion. It will do what it wants. My job is not to predict — it is to react. Speed of reaction matters more than accuracy of prediction.
