XAUUSD Best Strategy - Buy/Sell Signals

The best strategy to trade XAUUSD (gold) often depends on your trading style and market conditions, but several high-probability approaches are recommended by top traders and industry experts for both scalping and swing trading.​

Trend-Following Using EMAs
Use a combination of 9-period and 21-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) on the 5-minute or 15-minute chart.

Enter long when the 9 EMA crosses above the 21 EMA, especially when overall trend aligns with higher timeframes (such as H1 or H4).

Confirm entries with an RSI value above 50 for buys (or below 50 for sells).

Set stop loss just below the latest swing low for long positions.

Ideal for fast-moving, trending sessions (London and New York overlap).​
