Pullback Continuation buys gold weakness in an uptrend and sells strength in a downtrend. It measures how deep the pullback is, rejects entries where the retracement has gone too far to still be a pullback, and stops behind the swing that held.
What it does: Measures the depth of each retracement against the leg that produced it. Enters only when price shows it is turning back with the trend, not still falling. Anchors the stop behind the swing that must hold for the pullback to be a pullback.
When it works: Orderly trends that breathe, rather than vertical one-way moves. Sessions with a clear directional driver behind gold. Higher timeframes, where pullbacks are large enough to price properly.
When it struggles: Vertical moves that never pull back, so nothing triggers. Deep retracements that turn out to be reversals rather than pauses. Ranges, where "pullback" and "reversal" look identical.
What the trader controls: Risk per trade, as a percentage of the account or a cash amount. Daily loss limit — once hit, no new entries for the rest of the London trading day. Maximum open positions on gold at any one time. Sessions it may trade, and whether high-impact news blocks new entries. You can switch the model off at any time, and reducing or closing risk is never blocked.
