The CBR model by TomTrades is a structured gold trading strategy built for precision intraday execution. It centers on identifying trending or ranging environments based on the last 4–5 hours of price action and waiting for price to overextend during key session windows—either the second hour of Asia or the first hour of London. Once price extends, traders wait for a 1-minute market structure break (MSB) and enter on a pullback for either a reversion to the midpoint of the move or a fixed 1.5R target. The setup is clean, rule-based, and repeatable across sessions.

Confluences play a key role: price reacting to a previously defined zone or level, and inverse correlation with DXY can increase trade quality. Entries are taken on 1-minute charts, with optional use of the 5-second timeframe for refined confirmation. With strict entry criteria, defined trade windows, and base hit targets, it’s engineered for consistency and scalable performance.
