Shafiq combines a professional background in Uganda's banking sector — working with the systems behind real-world financial operations — with focused, hands-on analysis of the global gold market. That mix of process discipline and market insight shapes everything at ShafiqForex.
His approach to XAUUSD centres on liquidity and market structure: identifying where stop orders cluster, waiting for price to sweep that liquidity, and entering on confirmed rejection with tightly defined risk. Every position is sized to the account, every account carries a hard drawdown limit, and every client receives honest reporting.
"Anyone can find an entry. Protecting capital is what separates professionals from gamblers."
— Shafiq Lutaaya, Founder
