    Latest TradingView ideas on XAUUSD

      Most upvoted on Reddit this week

        Crowd views are opinions from public posts and retail positioning, not advice. TradingView ideas are read from its public ideas page because it offers no public data feed; keep this for personal use. Ideas without a Long or Short label are judged from their title wording, so treat those readings as rough.

        Scheduled news and gold impact

        Scheduled releases from the Forex Factory calendar, with gold’s measured reaction to each one.

        Upcoming releases and their estimated gold move

        Bar height is the estimated gold move in dollars in the hour after each release. The line adds up the event risk ahead. Weekends are skipped.

        Classic pivots from the last completed day, with distance from current price.

        Daily risk guard

        Prop-firm style rules. When one is broken, a lock warning shows on the scalping desk for the rest of the trading day.

        Trade journal

        Signal scorecard

        Every scalping setup that turns ready, and every change in the trend verdict, is logged automatically and scored against what price did next: target or stop first for setups, and the direction after 60 minutes for the verdict. Signals are checked against 1-minute prices each time you refresh, as long as that’s within about 8 hours.

        Backtester

        Tests the signal board (1-hour direction, 15-minute zone, 5-minute trigger) or the seven single-timeframe setups over past gold prices with your current indicator settings, plus the stop, R:R, spread and commission from Settings. Entry is the next candle’s open; if the stop and target fall in the same candle, the stop counts. The last 30% of the history is reported separately as an unseen check.

        5-minute history of 10,000 candles covers about 5 weeks on Twelve Data.

        Tune the signal board on real history

        Tries 864 combinations of setup model (all or A+ only), entry (aggressive, 50% limit or conservative zone), stop, target, exit split, time stop and session for the stream chosen in Strategy, on the first 70% of the downloaded 5-minute history, then reports how the best one did on the unseen last 30%. Uses the History length above.

        Scalping setups are rule checks, not trade signals: always confirm on your own platform, where the spread and fills are real. Indicator readings are computed automatically from price data and are not financial advice. Free data feeds can lag by a minute or more; confirm prices with your broker before trading. Calendar data comes from the Forex Factory weekly feed, which lists forecasts and previous values but not actual results, so reactions are measured from gold’s price. The feed only covers the current week; the app keeps a copy of each week in this browser so the previous trading day is available on Monday. News estimates are statistical guides only. PAXG is a gold-backed token that tracks spot gold closely but can trade at a small premium or discount, and it trades on weekends when spot gold is closed.
