FOMC rate decision landed on 17 June 2026. This is what the QP gold strategy actually did that day - every leg that closed, winners and losers, straight from the same log that feeds the full trade log.
Where gold traded that day
Our own orders transacted between 4278.17 and 4315.82 - a span of 376.5p. That is the range our fills actually covered, not the day's true high and low: we hold no intraday price feed for gold and will not estimate one.
Every leg that closed that day
| Time (ET) | Direction | Type | Pips |
|---|---|---|---|
| 07:10 PM | SELL | Main entry | +143.8p |
| 02:05 PM | BUY | Main entry | +154.4p |
What it means, and what it does not
The day finished at a profit of 298.2p. One release is one data point - it tells you what happened, not what happens next. The reason this page exists is that a single day can be checked against a chart, and a page of checkable days is worth more than a page of claims.
Across the 6 FOMC releases that produced a trade, the strategy has averaged -482.8p a day. This one came in above that.
If you want the background on why the Fed rate decision moves gold at all, that is explained in FOMC rate decision and XAU/USD.
