10. Conclusion
July 2026 was a profitable month with a net gain of +$783.08. The majority of profit was generated from GOLD trading during the London and New York sessions.
The best trade occurred on July 23 at 10:12:50 SAST, yielding +$228.79 in just 11 minutes. However, the 10 AM – 12 PM window on the same day was also the source of the largest losses, indicating a need for tighter risk management during that period.
Total withdrawal to Capitec Bank: $903.08
11. Next Steps
-
Focus exclusively on GOLD – it is my highest-performing asset
-
Trade only London and NY sessions – skip Asian and Off-Hours
-
Avoid 10 AM – 12 PM SAST – reduce exposure during this 2-hour danger zone
-
Reduce BTCUSD position size – losses are disproportionately high
-
Maintain strict stop-losses – consistent risk management
