Signals | One Trader's Road to $4K in Two Weeks

Nickname: @[GSC] Gold Street Capital

One rising trader, @[GSC] Gold Street Capital (ranked 31 by large account group), has been quietly generating impressive returns focusing solely on gold. While many traders still approach gold with buy-the-dip, sell-the-rip strategies, he generated $4,628 in profits over just two weeks alongside a maximum drawdown of only 1.50% - his smoothed equity curve looks like a gentle slide.

His order flow is also interesting - since November, he's deployed a balanced mix of buy and sell orders, doubling positions on confirmation as the signal dictates. This clearly resembles a Martingale hedging approach. However, gold's strong trending nature doesn't usually suit Martingale well.

Yet this trader seems to have a unique insight into applying trends effectively. He judges the direction, starting with 0.01 lots. On confirmation, he takes 20 pips before closing. On reversal with a $2 trend break, he opens 2 lots in the opposite direction, closing 30 pips in profit. And if the market whipsaws, reverting back to the initial trend? He scales in exponentially, opening 6 lots after a $4 trend.

At his maximum, he's had 4 consecutive positions open with a single 18-lot position, reaching a peak of 26.01 lots - around 50% allocation of his $50k account. The risk is high with no defined stops. However, he likely recognizes the risks beneath outwardly pleasant metrics, having already cashed out $3,605 in proceeds - securing profits for his own enjoyment.
