ATR position sizing: the simple fix for gold's violent moves

Fixed lots are why small XAUUSD accounts die. Gold can swing $3 in a minute and $30 in an hour. A 0.10 lot stop of 200 points is a $20 risk on one day and a $50 risk on another — same lot, totally different trade.

Fix: let the ATR decide. On your entry timeframe, read the 14-period ATR value at entry. Set your stop as a multiple of ATR (1.5x for scalps, 2x for intraday), then size your lot so that stop distance equals your fixed risk, e.g. 1% of equity. When ATR expands, your lot shrinks automatically. When it compresses, your lot grows. Risk per trade stays near-constant no matter how wild gold gets.

One caveat: MetaTrader's ATR uses the chart's timeframe and history. If you trade the breakout of the Asian session box on M15, use the M15 ATR — a daily ATR will overstate the stop and shrink your position into nothing. Match the ATR timeframe to the timeframe you read the entry on.

Risk stays boring. That's the whole point.

Creating a Cairo-Inspired Graphics Library for MetaTrader 5 (Part 5): Fill Rules, Holes and Borders

Part 5 adds a fill rule to the rasterizer and a stroke helper to the path. The engine now supports both non-zero and even-odd fills via a single enum parameter, enabling rings, true borders that do not repaint interiors, and glyph counters. AddThickLine() builds strokes from fills in one path and one pass, preserving uniform opacity at joints and showing why strokes require the non-zero rule.

Fair Value Gaps on XAUUSD: Trading the Empty Zones

Have you ever noticed how gold sometimes leaves a "gap" between three candles — a blank zone where no candle traded? That's a Fair Value Gap (FVG), and institutions care about it.

An FVG forms when a strong impulsive candle's body sits fully between the previous candle's high and the next candle's low, leaving an untouched pocket of price. That pocket is "inefficient" — price often returns later to fill it before continuing.

Three practical rules I use on gold:

1. Mark the gap (15m or 1h chart), but only trade the FIRST revisit. Fresh gaps fill best; gaps revisited twice are usually exhausted.
2. Never enter inside the gap blindly. Wait for a lower-timeframe confirmation at its edge — a rejection wick or engulfing candle — then enter with a stop beyond the gap.
3. Respect session context. Gaps formed during the thin Asian session fail more often than gaps printed in the high-volume London/New York move. Big-volume gaps are the honest ones.

A filled gap is not a guarantee — it is a liquidity magnet. Risk no more than your normal fixed percentage on it, like any other setup.

Do you mark FVGs on your XAUUSD charts, or do you prefer another entry method?
