Gold signals weekly results, day by day

• Monday 19 October: −€7,865
• Tuesday 20 October: +€29,289
• Wednesday 21 October: +€8,679
• Thursday 22 October: −€34,356
• Friday 23 October: +€8,230

Three of the five days were positive, but two days decided the week. Tuesday was the best day at +€29,289. Thursday lost more than that on its own: −€34,356. Without Tuesday, the week would have closed at −€25,312.

What gold futures did

Gold futures closed at $4,181.1 on Friday 16 October and at $4,007.9 a week later. That is down $173.2, or about 4.1%. Four of the five days closed lower. The only higher close was Wednesday 21 October, up $7.4 to $4,150.0. The largest daily drop came on Thursday 22 October, −$89.6 to $4,060.4, which was also the channels' worst day. Friday took off another $52.5.

Channels and sessions this week

354 channels were active. 179 ended the week in profit and 175 in loss, close to an even split. Out of 3,025 signals, 1,386 closed with every order in profit and 577 closed with every order in loss. The other 1,062 ended somewhere in between.

• Asia: −€1.5 average per signal, 1,635 signals
• London: +€16.9 average per signal, 749 signals
• New York: −€9.6 average per signal, 641 signals

Among channels with at least 5 signals, the best were X••• (+€4,847 on 12 signals), G••• T••• A••• (+€4,664 on 6) and G••• (+€3,688 on 19). The worst were X••• P••• H••• (−€5,707 on 12), H••• (−€5,564 on 19) and G••• V••• S••• (−€3,625 on 8).

A good week says little about the next one. The 20 best channels of September made +€70,688 together that month; so far in October (month still in progress) the same group is at −€7,139, and 11 of the 20 are in loss.

The week in context

A small positive week doesn't change the bigger picture. From 7 September to 23 October we followed 752 channels and executed 14,368 signals, for a combined result of −€320,969. Only 10 of the 35 trading days were positive. Among channels with at least 10 signals, 311 are in loss and 179 in profit, and the median result is −€430.

Telegram gold signals this week, day by day

• Friday 16 Oct: +€6,307
• Monday 19 Oct: −€7,865
• Tuesday 20 Oct: +€29,289
• Wednesday 21 Oct: +€8,679
• Thursday 22 Oct: −€27,971

Three green days, two red. By the end of Wednesday the week stood at +€36,410; Thursday took back about three quarters of it. Of the 352 active channels, 172 finished in profit and 180 in loss, so the combined total does not mean a typical channel made money. Counting individual signals, 1,278 closed with all their orders in profit and 531 with all their orders in loss; the other 972 were neither.

What gold futures did

Gold futures closed at $4,170.1 on 15 October, the day before the week started. They then closed at $4,181.1, $4,160.1, $4,142.6, $4,150.0 and finally $4,060.4 on 22 October: down $109.7 over the week. Thursday alone was a drop of $89.6, and it was also the channels' worst day. We report the coincidence; the data doesn't tell us why gold moved.

Sessions, and the best and worst channels

Average result per signal, by New York-time session:

• Asia: +€1.9 per signal (1,407 signals)
• London: +€26 per signal (726 signals)
• New York: −€20.2 per signal (648 signals)

Among channels with at least five signals, the week's top three were F••• V••• S••• (+€4,859 on 5 signals), G••• T••• A••• (+€4,371 on 5) and X••• (+€4,147 on 11). At the bottom: H••• (−€6,514 on 20 signals), X••• P••• H••• (−€5,707 on 12) and J••• U••• G••• (−€3,367 on 13). Five signals is a tiny sample, and a good week tells you nothing reliable about the next one. We showed how quickly a winners' list turns over in Last month's winners don't stay winners: of September's top 20, 11 were in loss in October so far.

Gold signals weekly results in context

Since 7 September, all 743 channels we follow add up to −€322,814, and only 9 of 34 trading days ended positive. Thursday's −€27,971 hurt, but the worst single day so far was −€69,536. Over the full period every session lost money on average: −€32.7 per signal in Asia, −€15.3 in London and −€11.8 in New York. This week London and Asia came out ahead, while New York did not.

What we did

Each signal becomes one order per target, with the channel’s own stop loss, opened on a MetaTrader 5 account in about three and a half seconds from the Telegram message. From 7 September to 23 October 2026:

Followed all together, at 0.1 lot per order, the whole set ended the seven weeks at −€322,250. That one number is why a ranking matters: the average channel is not a plan.

Two in three channels lose money

Among the 471 channels with at least ten closed signals:

A few channels do make money over these weeks. The hard part is never finding one that is up today — it is telling it apart from the many that are up by luck, and catching the moment it turns.

Green days are rare

Add up every channel on each trading day and most days are red: of 34 trading days, 9 were positive and 25 negative, with a worst day of −€69,536. One good day does not pay for the run of bad ones.

When the signal arrives matters

Average result per signal by market session, New York time:

Signals fired during Asian hours lose almost three times as much as New York ones. Every session is negative on average, but not equally.

Why this is an audit, not a review

• Executed, not simulated. Every signal is really opened and closed at the broker, not replayed on a chart afterwards.
• Every signal counts. Wins and losses, stops and missed targets. Nothing is cherry-picked, and 1,929 channels have already been dropped on their own numbers.
• Re-ranked every day. A channel at the top this week can be losing next week, so the score is never final.

In the dashboard every channel carries this record, signal by signal, with its name and Telegram link. Here the names are hidden on purpose: the point of this post is the shape of the whole market, not any one channel.

How a signal really plays out

A typical gold signal has an entry, a stop loss and three to five targets. Followed to the letter, it becomes one order per target, each with the same stop. When the price touches TP1, only the first order closes in profit. The others stay open, and if gold turns around they all close at the stop.

The channel posts the target. The three stops usually go unmentioned.

What our records show

We execute every signal this way at a broker: one order per target, the channel’s own stop, nothing closed by hand. In the signals recorded in our channel histories, from late August to 23 October 2026:

Out of 2,169 signals, only 1,025 reached every target. The rest are where the money is actually made or lost, and they rarely make it into the channel’s posts.

What to look at instead

• Net result per signal, all orders together. One number, not a list of ticks.
• How often TP1 turns into a loss. A channel with a high share of these has targets that are close and stops that are far.
• Results over weeks, not posts over hours. Screenshots are chosen; a broker statement isn’t.

That is what the dashboard shows for every channel: the net of every order the broker closed, signal by signal.

September’s top 20, one month later

We took the 20 channels with the best result in September 2026 on our demo account and looked at what the same 20 did in October.

More than half of the best channels of the month were losing money the month after. A ranking is a photograph of the past, and in gold signals it goes out of date fast.

Following everyone is worse

If picking last month’s winners doesn’t work, following every channel is not the answer either. Across all the channels we executed, from 7 September to 22 October:

Of the channels with at least 10 signals, 305 were losing and 166 were in profit. The median channel was at −€440. The market of gold signals as a whole loses money; the question is only which channels, right now, are the exception.

What this means in practice

• Check the trend, not the total. A big all-time number can hide a channel that has been losing for two weeks.
• Expect the ranking to change. We recalculate it every day for this reason.
• Be wary of the screenshot month. When a channel is being shared everywhere, its best weeks are usually behind it.

Our Elite roster only admits channels whose results are still rising over the last 10 trading days, and drops them when they stop. Channels join and leave every week.

The arithmetic

A channel with tight targets and wide stops wins often and loses big. Seven wins out of ten looks excellent until you add them up:

That is not a rare case. It is the normal shape of a channel that moves the stop away and takes profit early.

What our records show

We looked at the 117 channels with at least 20 signals in our records and counted, for each, the signals closed in profit against those closed in loss (signals that ended partly at a target and partly at the stop are left out).

A high win rate is common. A positive result is not the same thing, and the gap between the two is the size of the average loss.

Better numbers to look at

• Net result in money, over all orders, at a fixed size.
• Return per euro risked (we call it Return R): it puts channels with small and large stops on the same scale.
• The worst case: what the channel loses when things go wrong, not on average.
• Proof: whether the result is large enough, over enough signals, not to be luck.

All four are in the dashboard for every channel. How they are calculated is on the methodology page.
