The Pattern
5 consecutive XAUUSDm trades closed at a full stop-loss between 2026-09-21 to 2026-09-22. Reviewing the trade log: every one of them peaked at floating profit between $5.24 and $22.10 -- between 52% and 100% of the way to that trade's own profit-lock trigger -- before reversing and running the full distance back down to the stop.
This was flagged automatically by scanning the last 10 closed XAUUSDm losses for a recurring shape, not written after the fact. Whether it's a one-off cluster or a structural issue with how the trigger is sized for this symbol is exactly what the next batch of XAUUSDm trades will show.
| Trade | Peak Reached | % of Trigger | Result |

| 5 recent XAUUSDm losses | $5.24 – $22.10 | 52% – 100% | Full stop-loss, all 5 |

What This Means
No corrective change has been deployed for this specific pattern yet -- this article was generated automatically the moment the cluster was detected, before any fix. The profit-lock trigger is currently configured as 40% of each trade's own risk amount, scaled per position size, and arms at 70% of whatever peak a trade reaches. This page will be updated, or a follow-up filed, once a change ships and enough trades have closed to check whether it worked.
Pending Verdict
No verdict yet -- this pattern was just detected and nothing has been changed in response. Publishing it now, before a fix, is the point: the claim and the fix (if one ships) both end up on the permanent record, in the order they actually happened.
This page will be updated if a fix ships and gets verified against real XAUUSDm trades, the same way the XAUUSDm profit-lock and time-based-exit fixes were.
