Awaiting first trade

Coming to forward testing. It is not yet available for account activation.

It assesses each completed hourly candle, and joins the daily and 4-hour readings only once those candles have closed. It never decides from a candle that is still forming.

The ledger is evidence of how this approach behaves in forward testing. Its purpose is to connect each outcome to the market idea that existed before the trade, without presenting proprietary settings as a trading instruction.

• Direction comes from confirmed daily price structure alone — the sequence of turning points the daily chart has actually completed, each counted only once the candles that confirm it have closed.
• The 4-hour chart is then asked to agree. It can confirm or block the daily reading, but it can never supply a direction of its own, and an unclear daily picture is simply not traded rather than resolved by a faster chart.
• Anything neutral, conflicting, out of date or already given up is left alone. If the level the daily or 4-hour reading depends on has been traded through, permission is treated as lost and stays lost until the chart confirms a new one — a recovery in price does not restore it.
• Inside that permission it watches completed hourly candles for a measured setback after a run in the permitted direction, and judges only the first attempt to resume. Too shallow, too deep, too slow, too late, or lacking conviction in its own close, and the sequence is finished rather than waiting for a better-looking candle.
• The entry timeframe is the hourly candle and nothing faster. There is no 15-minute or 5-minute fine tuning, no moving average, no volume gate and no retracement drawing.
• Entry is valid only for a short window after that candle closes, at a fresh executable price, and only while the spread and the distance moved since the close are both inside what it accepts.
• Every trade carries a stop just beyond the setback it resumed from, and a target taken from the nearest daily or 4-hour level ahead that price has not already reached since that level was confirmed. If that level leaves too little room after costs the trade is skipped — it never reaches past it for a better-looking ratio and never invents a level of its own.
• One position at a time, and never any addition to it: no averaging down, no adding to a winner, no part exit, no breakeven jump and no reversal.
• Once the trade is a full unit of risk ahead on verified prices, protection follows newly confirmed hourly turns behind it and is only ever tightened. It closes if the daily or 4-hour reading stops supporting it, before a major United States announcement, ahead of the next verified trading break, and in any case within a fixed number of hours of the fill.
• This is an intraday expression of a daily reading rather than an overnight swing system. Agreement between two views of the same prices is not independent evidence, and a lower trade frequency is an intended distinction rather than a measured result.

How Higher Timeframe Bias trades gold explains when it works, when it struggles and what a trader controls.

No published trades yet. GHX-09 is not yet available for account activation. This record begins when demonstration forward testing starts, and the first eligible closed trade will appear whether it wins or loses.

Nothing is backfilled with simulated or illustrative trades. The empty record is the complete record today.

WHAT EVERY PUBLISHED TRADE WILL SHOW

• Date and time the trade opened and closed, in UK time.
• Direction, entry price, exit price, and the distance to the stop and the target.
• Result in R — the outcome measured against the risk taken, net of spread, commission and swap, with the gross figure beside it.
• Win or loss, how long it was held, the session it traded, and the model version that took it.
• The plain-English reason the model took the trade, written before the outcome was known.
• Never published: lot size, account balance, ticket numbers, and anything at all about a customer account.

• Published entries are permanent: winners and losers remain visible.
• Each entry will be linked to the previous entry by a check value, making a missing, reordered or altered row detectable.
• A correction is published as an additional entry that names the entry it corrects, and both stay visible.
• Signed summaries will preserve the state of the record on each publication day.
• The same decision is released to the demonstration account and to every trader who has the model switched on, in the same cycle, with no preferential ordering.

• These are results from a demonstration account. Demonstration results do not represent live trading.
• Nothing here is investment advice, a recommendation or a forecast, and no return is promised. Leveraged gold carries a high risk of rapid loss.
• Sample size is always shown beside any win rate. A short run of results proves very little, and the record is published from the first trade rather than once it looks good.
• Results in R are net of spread, commission and swap, with the gross figure alongside. Cash figures are not published.
• Gold Hunts is operated from the United Kingdom, and these pages are published under the laws of England and Wales.
• A model acts only while a trader leaves it switched on, on an account they connected, inside limits they set. Reducing or closing a position is never blocked.
