You were four hundred pounds in profit. A beautiful, floating green trade. You were just waiting for a neat five hundred to call it a day. It felt completely rational. But once you anchored to that number, your mind treated the unrealised profit as money you already owned. And when the chart printed a rejection wick just below your line, closing out suddenly felt like accepting a loss. So you froze. You watched as the candles slipped back toward your entry, and then deep past it. Gold punishes hesitation violently. A single fifteen-minute candle can wipe out an entire morning, turning an untouched gain into a brutal drawdown in seconds. When a trade stalls, you have to ask one question: am I holding because the chart’s structure still justifies it, or am I holding because my balance just wants to see a nice, round number? Your exits belong to technical levels, never your personal equity milestones.
