Non-Farm Payrolls landed on 6 March 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 5085.10 and 5150.00 - a span of 649p. 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.

What it means, and what it does not
The day finished at a loss of 1,282.2p. 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 5 NFP releases that produced a trade, the strategy has averaged -337p a day. This one came in below that.
If you want the background on why the US jobs report moves gold at all, that is explained in Non-Farm Payrolls and XAU/USD.
