It's time for us to draw diagonal trend lines.
We use too many indicators, lol

If gold breaks out to the upside, just follow step by step with this indicator.

If gold breaks out to the down side, use this indicator.

Gold will go down to the volume of Nov. 10.
And then onto Nov. 7 volume.

I found the MT4 source code.

VOLUME PROFILE
POC = Point of Control which has the most volume.

The big gray lines are POC.

In an uptrend or downtrend, you trade from 1 level of POC to the next.
Level by level.

POC = Point of Control; the area that has the most volume.

For today uptrend, Nov. 18, 2025,
gold goes from Nov. 7 POC to Nov. 3,
to today's POC, and up to Nov. 10 POC.

You just draw a line for each day POC.
We trade from 1 level to the next.

If a complete candle is above the resistance line,
then go LONG/BUY.

If a complete candle is below the diagonal trend line,
the go SHORT/SELL.

lol, we use too many indicators.
Let's simplify it down to two main indicators: SMA(20) and Stochastic (5,3,3).

SMA(20) is the middle line of the Bollinger Band. We get the best of both worlds.

If a complete candle is above the SMA(20), then we go LONG/BUY.
And check to see if Stochastic (5,3,3) crosses up.

If a complete candle is below the SMA(20), then we go SHORT/SELL.
And check to see if Stochastic (5,3,3) crosses down.

Those arrows are from the FTLM indicator. (Fast Trend Line Momentum). They're very helpful.

Instead of drawing diagonal trend lines,
we'll just use SMA(20).
It's very close to diagonal trend lines.
