Gold 4H chart:
Will gold take the plunge to 4000?
I am still holding shorts. Price looks to be pushing back down to the weekly low - if we break through 4100, I think there is a strong chance of a plunge down to 4000.

Gold trade is looking a bit heroic today.
The weak NFP print was still not enough to motivate the buyers, which is surprising.
What a wild reversal. I've trailed my stop loss and will continue to hold for now.
Congrats to the fellow bears :)

Gold short trade still running, but I've tightened my stop a bit further into profit.
Trend still seems bearish for the time being.

The last several months have been a pretty lackluster period in my 10 year trading career, and I wanted to share some of my thoughts transparently as I go through this drawdown period.
2026 started out incredibly strong for me. I was up 17% YTD on my main portfolio (the one I publicly discuss most often). This was primarily due to catching some strong moves in gold & oil, and the bounce back in stocks in April.
Since my account's peak in April, I've been going through a very grindy drawdown in the last 4 months. I am still up on the year, but have given back some of my gains (an inevitable aspect of trading returns at times!)
With my trend following + macro approach, my strategy tends to perform best in trendy environments on the assets I trade most. With many choppy periods since then, it's been rough!
Since then however - by keeping my risk small, I've been able to keep my overall % drawdown to a modest 6.6%. While this still represents a large $ amount, it is completely manageable in regards to the risk profile of the account.
The reality of trading is that drawdowns and periods of lackluster performance are inevitable to any strategy or approach. I would encourage anyone interested in better understanding risk management and drawdown to watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTj8W...
I've done this long enough to know that this is totally normal, but it never feels great in the moment. I wanted to share this transparently as I believe it may help others to know that a drawdown is normal (and it is ok to acknowledge that they aren't fun!).
Keep calm, manage risk, and stick to your backtested system 🙂
