XAU/USD turn markers
Spot gold, priced per troy ounce in US dollars. Not a currency pair — a metal quoted like one.
What has happened after a confirmed XAU/USD marker
Measured over 377 confirmed markers between March 2023 and August 2026 — about 9 a month — on hourly bars from a live broker feed.
| Best run before the stop, average | 2.48 R |
|---|---|
| Reached +1 R | 52% |
| Reached +2 R | 33% |
| Reached +3 R | 24% |
| Direction split | 192 up / 185 down |
R is the height of the marker's own bar — the risk a stop at its other end would imply. Everything above assumes that stop: the run is measured only until price comes back through it, and a target counts only if it was reached first. The how it works page explains the measurement in full, and what confirmed means.
XAU/USD ranks 5th of 13 on average run, above the median for this list.
