NY Session Gold: Volatility Trading
NY session gold trading strategies. The US session brings the highest volatility for XAUUSD with macro data and Fed policy driving prices.
Most guides on this topic are written by people who have never traded real money. This one is from the desk of a scalper.
US Macro Data
Before I enter any trade, I ask myself: would I show this setup to a mentor? If I hesitate, I do not take the trade. Accountability before execution.
NY Session Patterns
If you can only trade one session, make it the overlap between London and NY (12 PM to 4 PM GMT). That two-hour window sees the most gold movement. I built my entire strategy around it.
Position Sizing for High Volatility
Position size should decrease as volatility increases. Most traders do the opposite. I use a simple formula: base lots = (account × 1%) / (stop pips × pip value). Adjust down when ATR is above 30.
I have been trading XAUUSD for 6 years. Everything in this guide comes from real trades at my desk in Singapore — not from textbooks. Here is what I have learned.
