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.
I wrote this guide based on how I actually scalp gold. Pure price action, real entries, no fluff.
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.

The New York session brings the highest volatility for XAUUSD traders.
Key Events
- US economic data (NFPs, CPI, GDP, Retail Sales)
- Fed speeches and FOMC minutes
- Treasury auctions

Risk Management
NY session volatility demands strict risk management:
- Reduce position size by 50% during news
- Widen stops (1.5x normal distance)
- Don't trade the first 15 minutes after major data
- Use limit orders, not market orders
