Plans vs results
Your saved weekly plans appear here, with the results of each week from your journal.
Market context on this page was built at : events from our economic calendar; ATR(14) and the 20-day average daily range from COMEX gold futures (GC=F) daily data via Yahoo Finance; hourly ranges from two years of 1-hour bars (when gold moves most).
A 10-minute weekly routine for gold traders
Good traders review the past week and plan the next one before Monday's open. This page walks you through it in five steps: what happened (from your own journal), the one mistake that cost you most, what is coming next week, and the rules you will follow. Then save it or print it and keep it next to your screen.
Worked example
Your journal shows 9 trades last week: 4 wins, 5 losses, an average of −0.1R. Your notes say two losses came straight after a loss, so you tag "revenge trade". Next week has US CPI on Tuesday, so you tick Tuesday as a no-trade day. You set 1% risk per trade, a 3% daily loss limit, at most 3 trades a day, and stop after 2 losses in a row. Next Sunday the "plans vs results" table shows whether the week with a written plan went better.
Why one mistake, not ten
Trying to fix everything at once fixes nothing. Pick the mistake that cost the most money and work on that one for a whole week. Each mistake links to the lesson that deals with it.
