Twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday, we go live and trade gold in front of our members. If you have never joined a session, you might wonder what actually happens and whether it is for complete beginners. This article walks through the three parts of every live session, from opening the chart to answering your questions.
We open the live gold chart
Every session starts with the chart. Not a recording or a textbook example, but gold as it is trading right now. We show you exactly what we are looking at: the levels we marked earlier, where price is sitting relative to them, and what we expect could happen next. Seeing this in real time is very different from reading about it afterwards.
This part matters because trade ideas on their own only tell you what to do. Watching the chart with us shows you how an idea is built, so the entry, stop-loss and take-profit stop being random numbers and start making sense as a plan.
We explain the trade in plain English
Once a setup is on the screen, we walk through it piece by piece. Why this entry and not a few dollars higher. Why the stop-loss sits where it does. What would make the idea wrong, and what we would do if that happened. There is no jargon, and if a term does slip in we explain it straight away.
You ask anything
The last part of each session belongs to you. Nothing is too basic. Some of our best sessions have come from beginners who were not afraid to ask the question everyone else was thinking. If you want to see how we trade gold before taking a single idea, the next live session is free to join through our community.
Key takeaways
- Live sessions run twice a week on the real-time gold chart
