SUMMARY - This is the 12/27/23, 15-min bar, 48-hour, ultra-detailed, CONTINUOUS EVOLVING FORECAST for direction and shape of price action in FX_IDC XAUUSD gold ticker. Continuing from #16!, I see an incoming staircase with a shot of closing all time high this Friday. So that's why this is DRAFT 1, in case I need a DRAFT 2. If not Friday, then 01/03-04 will give us this high. While in #16!, I said we would wait for 01/08-09 to reload for 2280+, we may not have to wait that long. It may just be 36 hours.
DETAILS - As a warning, the first rule of trading is don't lose money. As a reminder, the second rule of trading is don't forget the first rule. As usual, this MUST be used with continuing notes posted throughout duration of this forecast to supplement - not replace - your trading discipline and risk management. Be aware that there is AN ACTUAL LIMIT on the number updates I can do per post, so I am not going be super detailed. That said, it's been working out anyway. Links for most recent and relevant posts are below for background and how we got here. I recommend that you replay them occasionally as frame of reference, but most importantly, as evidence that legit forecasting help you win day in and day out. And if my forecasts help you make REAL MONEY, help me out by spreading the word to people you know PERSONALLY to keep this thing going. Please hit like/boost button.
INTERMEDIATE MINDSET - Please understand that I am in intermediate mode, or buy and hold mode unless I see a good reason to "take a break and take money off the table". So in that sense, my notes are to manage expectations for an intermediate swing trade, not buy today sell tomorrow. Be aware of time frame mismatch if you are trading everyday.
