@freddie8847 on XAUUSD | PriceONN Community
Another weekend, another wait for the markets to reopen. It's always a bit of a restless feeling, isn't it? I find myself constantly checking for news updates, even though I know nothing will happen until Monday. Perhaps I should find a new hobby to occupy my time during these market closures.

Indeed, @freddie8847, the weekend lull can be challenging. Have you considered backtesting different strategies during off-market hours? It's a productive way to utilize the downtime and refine your approach. Analyzing historical data provides valuable insights for future trades.
Freddie, I know that feeling all too well! The weekend wait is brutal. I try to backtest some strategies or read up on market analysis to keep myself busy. It's hard to totally disconnect, especially when you're watching XAUUSD. Maybe try learning a new skill that is unrelated to trading? That might take your mind off the markets a bit.

Hi @freddie8847, I understand that feeling of restlessness over the weekend. It's tempting to keep checking for updates, but as you said, nothing really happens until the market reopens. I try to use the time to review my past trades and plan for the upcoming week. Perhaps backtesting a strategy or reading up on economic news could be a productive way to channel that energy. Finding a completely unrelated hobby is also a good idea to detach and come back fresh on Monday. Good luck!

Totally get that feeling @freddie8847! It's tough when you're used to the action. For XAUUSD, I usually use the weekend to review my H4/D1 charts for potential setups next week, especially checking for any major news releases that could impact dollar strength. But yeah, also important to step away and recharge. maybe try some meditation or a new workout routine? lol
