Volatility Drives Gold Higher

Hello traders, it’s Monday - time to jump back in!

After a relaxing weekend, let’s recap last week’s whirlwind.

Trump paused most tpariffs for 90 days, except on China, fueling a huge rally - the Dow soared nearly 3,000 points Wednesday, adding trillions to the markets.

Parabolic SAR

Parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse) is a technical indicator used to identify potential reversal points in the price direction of an asset.

It places dots above or below the price bars, indicating potential stop-loss levels and trend direction.

What to Look For:

• Dots Below Price: When the SAR dots are below the price, it suggests an uptrend.
  
  
• Dots Above Price: When the SAR dots are above the price, it suggests a downtrend.
  
  
• Dot Flip (Reversal Signal):
  • When the price crosses above the SAR dots, it can signal a potential bullish reversal.
  • When the price crosses below the SAR dots, it can signal a potential bearish reversal.
    
    
• Acceleration Factor: The SAR dots move closer to the price as the trend continues, and the acceleration factor increases. This means the potential stop-loss levels tighten.
  
  
• Use as Trailing Stop: Traders often use the SAR dots as dynamic trailing stop-loss levels to protect profits.
  
  
• Sensitivity: The sensitivity of the SAR can be adjusted by changing the acceleration factor and the maximum acceleration factor. Higher values make the SAR more sensitive to price changes, potentially leading to more frequent signals (and potentially more false signals).

There’s a brutal truth most traders learn the hard way:

You can have the perfect setup… and still sabotage the trade.

Not because your strategy’s broken.But because your mind is.

Today we spotlight Jared Tendler, an internationally recognized mental game coach.

His philosophy has proved to be useful to traders.

Let’s go through some of them.

Jared Tendler teaches what most traders ignore until it’s too late:

It’s not just about controlling - about understanding the system behind them.

Tilt?

Doesn’t just “happen.”

It builds. Quietly. Predictably.

And unless you map it - track it like you would price action - it’ll wreck your trades before you even realize what hit you.

Here’s the core of his philosophy:

• You don’t eliminate emotion - you eliminate its chaos.
• You study your patterns like you study the market.
• And you create a process for handling pressure, not just hoping you’ll stay calm.

He breaks it down like a pro:

• Identify your tells. (Do you click more when nervous? Get quiet? Get greedy?)
• Dig up the cause. (Fear of being wrong? Needing to win to feel confident?)
• Build correction patterns. (Pre-trade routines. In-trade checks. Post-trade reviews.)

Because success isn’t about having zero fear or zero frustration.

It’s about knowing exactly what to do when it shows up.

If you’re spiraling, stalling, or second-guessing at the worst possible times - it’s not your strategy that needs fixing.

It’s your mental game.

Get your head right, and the trades follow.
