Trend Pullback Failure is the other side of a pullback trade. When gold retraces and then fails to push on with the trend, that failure is the signal, and the level the pullback could not reclaim becomes the stop.
What it does: Watches a pullback that should resume the trend and measures whether it does. Enters against the old trend once the resumption visibly fails. Stops above or below the level the failed attempt could not reclaim.
When it works: Late-stage gold trends that are losing participation. After a macro driver flips and the old trend stops making sense. Around round numbers where trend traders are already trapped.
When it struggles: Strong trends, where every apparent failure resumes anyway. Thin sessions where the "failure" is just no volume. Immediately before high-impact data, when nothing is proving anything.
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.
