I can't seem to keep more than 4.5mil gold?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I am a TH9 currently attempting to reach 7 million gold to max my x-bows. The problem is that whenever I get to around 4.5 million gold I get raided and lose 200-400k gold, plus the cost of re-arming my traps. I can't seem to get above this threshold.

I took a screen shot of my base but I can't figure out how to paste it on here. It was a well reviewed anti hog defense I found on this forum. Anyways I have around 1700 trophies maxed out teslas, cannons, mortars, and air defense (TH 9). Everything else is 1 level below being maxed out. As well as my townhall sitting in the corner.

Do you guys have any advice on how to keep my gold or am I doing something wrong?

Boost your barracks and just keep going until you get the 7.5M. If you have to go offline, put your TH outside the walls and hope you get a sniper. If not, log in at the end of your shield and go earn the 200k gold back. Don't drop a shield for just one attack. Put in enough attacks to at least get you a million gold back, so if you lose 200k, it doesn't hurt as much.

And right now you can 1 gem boost your gold mines.

You have to attack continuously until you get resources needed. Stay on line and make sure you have a free builder, so you can start your xbow upgraded asap!

Right now there is 1 gem boost for drills, mines, collectors, barracks.. everything! You can easily gain 1kk in 1 or 2 hour, so even if you loose 300k isn't that bad.

And.. of course, put your TH outside in a corner of the map! They can snipe you and give you a free shield, good luck for that :D

It's probably harder to save 7.5mil right now because of 1 gem boost event, especially if you are a casual player and don't raid often everytime you break shield.

I would recommend taking advantage of the event yourself and raid in sessions. The first session will probably get you 2.5-3mil gold, get shield (with an expectation of losing 350k gold at most), then within 12 hours start another session which will most likely add up to the amount you need if you have a few mils saved up already.

Around 1650 trophies works the best for me. Avoid 8pm - 12am for better result.

UTC? GMT? Where?

I agree with the above posters that when you get withing 2 million of your goal you should do a 2 hour boost and grind it out until you get there. There is no reason you shouldnt be able to get $2 million in 2 hours if you boost barracks and heroes, or even just heroes. Also, when people tell you to put your town hall outside, put it OUTSIDE, like in the far corner! Dont even put it within range of any defenses. You want snipers to hit you as you arent trying to trophy push. As a former sniper myself, I would only hit town halls that were COMPLETELY unprotected.

I have included a link to the base I use below. It has worked extremely well against everything but max level hogs. Since the town hall is in the far corner, I get sniped 95% of the time even when I am sitting on a TON of loot. I farm around the 1650 trophy range.

The max a TH9 can lose from storages is 350k, which you'll hit when you have around 3 mil gold. Past that point, the best thing you can do is either play for long sessions (Don't log off) or drop to a lower trophy count.

"I believe" it depends on your region when you installed the app (not language). I installed the app when I was in Asia and I play when they are asleep; it seems to work pretty well for me.

Another technique you can use is this:

Have a buffer. If you lose 350k from a raid plus lets say 100k from rearming, raid more so you're still storing loot plus ride your shield and let your collectors work for you.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I had my townhall right outside the wall, but I will move it the corner. I never really though about staying logged on between raids but I'll give it a try.
