Let’s clear it up precisely for GOLD (XAU/USD) in Forex trading:

🟡 1️⃣ What’s technically correct on MetaTrader (Forex-style)

Most Forex traders on MT4/MT5 treat gold like a currency pair:

1 pip = 0.01

1 point = 0.001

So:

If price moves from 2385.40 → 2386.40, that’s 100 pips (or 1000 points).

Therefore, “pips” is the correct term when you’re talking in Forex pip-size units.

✅ Example (Forex trader style):

“Gold went up 150 pips after CPI.”
“My stop loss is 50 pips.”

🟡 2️⃣ Why you sometimes hear “points”

Some traders—especially those coming from CFD, indices, or futures backgrounds—use “points” for simplicity:

For them, 1 point = 1.0 price unit.

So a move from 2385 → 2386 is “1 point.”

That’s why you’ll hear:

“Gold dropped 10 points today.”
Meaning $10 move, not 10 pips.

⚖️ In short:
Context Term 1 move from Means
Forex trader (MT4/MT5) Pip 2385.40 → 2385.41 1 pip = $0.01
CFD/Futures trader Point 2385 → 2386 1 point = $1.00

👉 Bottom line:
If you’re trading XAU/USD on MT4/MT5 (Forex) → say pips.
If you’re watching CFD or futures traders (like on TradingView or prop firm dashboards) → they often say points instead.

GOLD is still wave C
Oops. I just learned that gold is still in wave C. Sorry everyone. Newbie in Elliott Wave here.

🌀 Zigzag Correction

Wave C usually equals Wave A in length, or sometimes extends to 1.618 × Wave A.
That means:
Minimum target: same length as A
Maximum common target: 1.618 × A
Wave C must go beyond the end of Wave A (it must make a new low if it’s a downward correction).

📏 Typical Fibonacci relationships:
C = A
C = 1.272 × A
C = 1.618 × A
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wave A start: $4381.64
Wave A end: $4004.22

So the length of Wave A is
4381.64 − 4004.22 = 377.42

Now, Wave C’s possible end depends on the correction type and its Fibonacci relationship to Wave A.
🌀 If it’s a Zigzag (common case)

Wave C ≈ Wave A to 1.618 × Wave A
C target range=4004.22−(377.42×1.0 to 1.618)

Equal A: 4004.22 − 377.42 = 3626.80
1.618 × A: 4004.22 − (377.42 × 1.618 = 610.15) = 3394.07

✅ So Wave C could end around $3627 to $3394.

Elliott Wave C correction
Elliott Wave correction ABC
all time high is $4381.64.
bottom of wave A is $4004.22
top of wave B is $4138.56
Give me all projections of wave C
I asked ChatGPT and this is what it gave me:

📊 Given Data

Wave A: from $4381.64 → $4004.22
→ Wave A length = $4381.64 − $4004.22 = $377.42

Wave B top = $4138.56

So Wave C starts at $4138.56 and typically moves downward.
