Range Bound Scalping: the gold model explained

Range Bound Scalping works the edges of a defined gold range for small, frequent moves. Because targets are small, spread and commission decide whether it is viable at all on your account.

What it does: Defines the range and trades from its edges toward the middle. Keeps targets and stops small and symmetrical. Stops trading the range once an edge is decisively broken.

When it works: Clear, persistent ranges with respected edges. Quiet sessions with no scheduled catalyst. Accounts with genuinely tight gold spreads.

When it struggles: Wide-spread brokers, where costs exceed the edge outright. Breakout days, when the range stops existing. High-impact data, when both edges go in one minute.

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.
