What should I record for a gold sweep trade?

The level type and its freshness, the sweep depth in dollars, how many candles the reclaim took, whether the entry was confirmed or anticipated, the daily context, the spread at fill, and the time taken to reach the first target.

How do I know which gold levels are worth trading?

Group at least thirty logged sweeps by level type and compare average R. Most traders find that a subset — often untested Asian extremes and fresh equal highs or lows — carries the whole edge while other level types break even.

Does the GoldHunts journal import MT5 gold trades?

Yes, it connects to MetaTrader 5 and imports gold fills, sizes, spreads, durations and results automatically, leaving only the judgement fields to record manually.

Journaling Gold Sweep Trades (XAU Stop Hunts)

A gold sweep journal should record level type and freshness, sweep depth in dollars, candles to reclaim, whether the entry was confirmed or anticipated, daily context, spread at fill and time to first target.

Grouping thirty or more logged sweeps by level type usually reveals that a small subset of levels — untested Asian extremes and fresh equal highs or lows — carries the entire edge.

Automatic MT5 import through the free GoldHunts gold journal handles fills, sizes, spreads and outcomes, leaving four judgement fields per trade to record by hand.
