Question 1

What is Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and why do you use it?

Accepted Answer

SMC is a price-action methodology focused on institutional footprints, order blocks, liquidity sweeps, and fair value gaps. We use it because it produces high-probability setups with clearly defined invalidation, which keeps risk tight and consistent.

Question 2

How is drawdown managed?

Accepted Answer

Every signal risks a maximum of 1% of your account. Our historical max drawdown is 4.2% over the past 9 months. We pause signal delivery during major news events (NFP, FOMC) and during low-liquidity sessions to avoid noise-driven losses.

Question 3

How many signals do you send per week?

Accepted Answer

Typically 12–18 signals per week, split across XAU/USD scalps and swings, plus selective majors (GBP/USD, EUR/USD, USD/JPY). Quality over quantity, we never force trades.

Question 4

What's the difference between Scalp and Swing signals?

Accepted Answer

Scalps target 20–80 pips intraday on the 5m–15m timeframes during London/NY sessions. Swings target 150–400 pips over 1–5 days, based on H4 and Daily structure shifts.

Question 5

How fast are signals delivered?

Accepted Answer

Signals appear in your VIP Dashboard the second a setup forms, with browser and mobile push notifications so you never miss an entry, critical for scalp execution.

Question 6

Can I cancel my Monthly subscription anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cancel from your account dashboard, no questions asked, no retention calls. You retain access until the end of your billing period.

Question 7

Is this financial advice?

Accepted Answer

No. XAU Pro Academy is an educational service. All trade ideas are for informational purposes only. You are responsible for your own trading decisions and risk management.

Question 8

What broker / platform do I need?

Accepted Answer

Any broker offering XAU/USD with reasonable spreads (we recommend < 30 cents during London session). The signals work on MT4, MT5, TradingView, cTrader, anywhere you can place a market or limit order.
