XAUUSD ICT Trading: Gold, Sessions and Risk
XAUUSD refers to gold priced in US dollars. Gold can experience sharp intraday moves, so applying an ICT framework requires attention to volatility, execution and risk as well as chart structure.
Map the important levels
Mark higher-timeframe highs and lows, liquidity references and relevant price-delivery zones before looking for an entry.
Study the session
Choose a defined session window and record how the setup behaves during that period. Do not assume a model transfers unchanged between sessions.
Control position size
Calculate position size from your maximum monetary risk and the distance to invalidation. Gold volatility can make fixed lot sizes inappropriate.
Keep a separate sample
Track XAUUSD results separately so its behavior does not get mixed with results from other instruments.
