I know that the macro is bullish due to the Iran-US-Israel conflict, but I trade intraday in 1M. Apart from following the trend, I look for pullbacks, which is what I was looking for after the big rise in Asia (+2% in Asia).Cagliostro wrote: Mon Mar 02, 2026 9:36 pm Shorting gold on M1 with middle-east situation and hyper bullish long term trend is not taking risks. It's hara-kiri.
I was expecting a pullback at the European open (classic in volatile gold), not a short against the main structure. I got out quickly without reaching my key zones for that very reason, and I try to manage my risk very well. I keep an eye on the news, but in 1M scalping, I prioritize price action.
Best regards.
