Lead Trader — Norbe Capital · XAUUSD Scalps

I’m an autistic UK gold scalper with deep pattern recognition and hyper-focus. I trade XAUUSD exclusively using a structured, rules-based playbook: liquidity sweeps, structure shifts, and momentum continuation. Every trade is planned, risk is controlled, and losses are treated as data — not emotion.

I started trading in 2020 with absolutely no edge. I was a total beginner. I blew accounts, made every possible mistake, sat through endless nights of charting until 3am while normal people slept. I sacrificed time, money and mental stability for this. I skipped weekends, I isolated myself, I became obsessed with gold — because something in me refused to quit. I always believed there must be patterns hiding inside this chaos. And when I finally started seeing those structures repeat — liquidity sweeps, displacement, momentum bursts — it felt like the chart was speaking a language I finally understood.

The moment everything changed wasn’t a big win. It was a moment of clarity. A “wtf am I doing with my life?” moment. I realised that working for someone else, building their dream, building their future — while killing mine — is the worst kind of regret. So I took the risk. I bet on myself. It terrified me. But terror is the price of freedom. Today, I’m not chained to a boss. I’m not showing up to make somebody else rich. I trade gold, on my rules, with my playbook — and every day I act on my conviction, not someone else’s schedule.

I didn’t get here by luck. I earned this through pain, repetition, and extreme discipline. I built this life by choosing the uncomfortable path. It took me five years to make it real. And now I do this for one reason — I don’t want to just survive. I want to thrive. I want my life to be built on my skill, my mind, my pattern recognition. I bought my freedom — and I’m never going back.
