Gold traders: how do you deal with execution during high volatility?
most of my gold trade during volatile sessions (news days, London–NY overlap). One thing I’ve noticed is that fast moves, execution and spread matter more than the setup itself 🤷
Had a few recent trades where price moved exactly as expected, but small delays or spread changes almost flipped the R:R ratio. I trade on mobile a lot and have been using XM lately, and execution has been mostly close to expected prices even during spikes.
Curious how others handle gold on high-vol days. Do you size down, avoid market orders, or just sit out?
