How to Play the Game of Prop firms and XAUAUD walkthroughThis video does not promote any prop firms or any 3rd party services. Instead, it focuses on teaching the method of account cycling where you have 4 accounts of which you stagger them so 3 are being traded at once and one has a week off. You also stagger when you start trading them to avoid overexposure. This is a great way to reduce risk and get faster pay outs.
The goal is to make 50% of the payout target every week staggering risk throughout the month losing no more than 25% of allowed total drawdown each week. For example, an account with 10% drawdown has a profit target of 5% per week with a 2.5% max drawdown per account.

XAUAUD dominates the first week of FebruaryICMARKETS:XAUAUD
A small and simple summary, we have a major expected interest rate hike from the Reserve Bank of Australia on Tuesday. Aussie is the 2nd biggest producer of Gold. This will affect the pair XAUAUD the most.
If rates are hiked, this will plummet XAUAUD due to AUD strength and it becoming more expensive to hold gold in Aussie for local investors cause slight gold decline in strength with major bearish drop.
If rates remain, market has pre-priced in AUD strength. This will cause massive spike of XAUAUD as the "long and wrong" crowd withdraw. Expect a jump.
Keep eyes on gold for US NFP on friday too.

XAUAUD has more upside potentialGold prices extended gains amid escalating tariff tensions between the US and China, after China sanctioned shipping and the US President affirmed the commitment to maintaining high tariffs on Chinese goods.
Meanwhile, the US government shutdown may introduce additional uncertainty regarding the timeliness of monetary policy in addressing the recently weakening labor market. The postponement of the Non-farm Payrolls (NFP) report raises further concern, as the Fed requires more data to determine its primary focus between the labor market and inflation—its dual mandate—which are currently diverging. Elevated inflation, driven by recent trade policies, requires the Fed to evaluate whether the price increases are transitory or if they will become prolonged and spread to sectors beyond tariff-sensitive goods.
Markets are currently pricing in two additional rate cuts this year but remain uncertain about the outlook for next year, with some Fed officials signaling a cautious stance. Should the labor market continue to deteriorate while inflation remains elevated, the US economy could face stagnation, creating a favorable environment for gold.
In Australia, recent labor data has increased economic uncertainty. The unemployment rate for Sep rose to a four-year high of 4.5% from 4.3% in the previous month, driven by a decrease in job openings and an increase in job seekers concerned about future income prospects. The weakening labor market has lifted market expectations for an RBA rate cut in Nov to over 70% from a previous reading of 40%, weighing on the Australian dollar.
From a technical perspective, XAUAUD is trading within an upward range with expanding EMAs (21,78), indicating strong bullish momentum, though it may face pressure from profit-taking. A breakout above the Fibonacci Extension 361.8% at 6588 could see the price target the Fibonacci Extension 423.6% at 6866. Conversely, a failure to breach the 6588 level could result in a decline to test the support at 6140.

Flag and pennant setupDaily gold chart clearly defines a flag and pennant
setup. This is a bullish setup and it is a good sign
when the price consolidates sideways for a short period
as it gives times for the weak hands to exit.
A slight pause in the price rise also makes
future rises more sustainable and anything that rockets skywards will always crash like a brick.
in the coming months, expect a move higher
as all the governments around the world will always inflate the debt away as its the way to tax people without them knowing. only 20% of the population understand that inflation is just a hidden way governments tax the slaves.
XAU/AUD Trade Setup – Order Block Rejection Play🟡 XAU/AUD Trade Setup – Order Block Rejection Play
Pair: XAU/AUD
Direction: Sell
Type: Pullback to Order Block → Continuation Down
Timeframe:15min
🔍 Analysis:
After a confirmed Break of Structure (BOS) to the downside, price is currently pulling back. I'm anticipating a bullish retracement toward a key bearish order block zone at 5,192.33. This level aligns with a previous support-turned-resistance zone, and I expect sellers to re-enter the market here.
📌 Trade Plan:
Entry: Sell from 5,192.33 (Order Block)
Stop Loss: Above the OB at 5,202.73
Target: 5,139.58 (Clean liquidity level)
RRR: ~1:5
✅ Confluences:
BOS to the downside confirms bearish bias
Price retracing to unmitigated order block
Minor imbalance fill around entry zone
Liquidity below 5,139.58
Expecting rejection and continuation move
📉 Execution: Waiting for bearish confirmation (e.g., engulfing candle or LTF structure shift) before entry.

XAUAUD - Short SetupMy main trading principle is that the price always moves from swept liquidity levels to untouched liquidity levels.
In particular case we clearly can see the following context: price swept 1D key liquidity level and left untouched level lower.
But to take more statistically probable trades we should wait for some type of lower timeframe confirmation, and in this case we can notice sign of weakness (reaching the middle of the range), so potentially there is a higher probability to see price lower.
Your success is determined solely by your ability to consistently follow the same principles.
C*ck & B*lls formationSummery: Typical bullish hyped market activity which rises too quickly. Followed by quick bearish pullbacks. Gold/silver will forever be bullish.
Breakout from pink ascending thingy with pullback, retest, breakout and finally confirmation for hyperbolic run. Given how the reserve currency has duplicated 100% of itself in 10 years along with mass immigration, increases inflation dramatically. guarantees gold value. Silver fluctuates too much in comparison to gold.
