High Volatility Exposure: Gold's extreme price movements can create larger drawdowns during adverse market conditions.

Economic Sensitivity: Heavy dependence on economic events makes performance unpredictable during quiet economic periods.

Overnight Risk: Gold markets can gap significantly overnight due to Asian session news or weekend developments.

Margin Requirements: Gold trading typically requires higher margin allocation, limiting position flexibility and account utilization.

Correlation Dependency: Over-reliance on USD/gold correlation can fail during periods when relationship breaks down temporarily.

Market Hours Limitation: Peak performance limited to specific trading sessions, missing opportunities during off-hours.

Geopolitical Vulnerability: Extreme sensitivity to geopolitical events can cause rapid, unpredictable price movements beyond algorithmic predictions.
