Symbol suffix: Letters a broker adds to a ticker to mark an account type, such as XAUUSD.r, XAUUSDm or XAUUSD+.
If gold doesn't appear in Market Watch, search for "XAU" or "GOLD" and show all symbols. EAs must use the exact name, suffix included.
I don't predict. I prepare. Every trade I share here is placed with real money, in real time. No indicators, no noise — just price action and experience.
— Happy trading, Lin
