Dow never quite hit the target today but next week it may well get there, Gold denying the inevitable, may have to hold over the weekend, not an advocate of positions held over the weekend, thanks for a great week everyone, the thread got off to a great start, only sorry I was way delayed, already 7 pages guys & gals, my only worry is nothing getting missed, please anyone new, read from the start, get a feel for what's expected from us all and please, when you take a trade, print it, we're all with you, update as much as you like, the thread belongs to the posters, on that note, good weekend all, resume Sunday, Detector

Who here trades API or EIA inventories? I'm going to trade some data next week and you here are the most intelligible online personalities I know.

Also I'm not sure who trades NFP but has anyone noticed this pattern lately:

  1. Markets drift towards risk-off
  2. US economic data is released that is rosy
  3. Markets turn toward risk-on
  4. Markets resume risk-off drift

If I am looking strictly at levels the upside seems to have more in play next week. Downside would be where the big money is though.

I sometimes trade the EIA inventory numbers and they are tricky. To give you an example -> bad inventory numbers
-> market rises next hour and after a hour takes the corse it should have taken.

Planning to trade Forex for now, will see from there. Hunting for the most volatile pair to focus on for now. Any suggestions?

I'm not really trading gbp pairs currently purely because we have never seen a Brexit before so have no idea on how the pairs are going to trade... as a newbie I would reccomend focussing on usd pairs or non gbp pairs unless you feel comfortable enough.
Talking from experience here though if you feel confident and get cocky... you will get rekt!! I blew 4 accounts before I learnt anything properly

You don't state your experience level, leaving us guessing.

EUR.USD has excellent liquidity and low trading cost, could be a good pair with which to start. If you are not going to die in the next year or two, you have plenty of time later to go volatile.

If you want to impale yourself on volatility, GBP and TRY might be among the sharpest swords.

EDIT
My apologies 4hr meeting reistance on the 100Ma
4hr and Daily below 100MA

Still got one eye on bit coin, a gap down on open with a view to going long @7500, as to opening it may trade beyond this level, sub 7500-7400 it may even level out beyond here, nevertheless looking to get back in, any thoughts anyone???, seems plenty of watchers but no comments, your all here for a reason, please let us know, D

Closed out gold short volume/ activity thin, for the fall, just being opportunist in case of a snap back,D

Hello all, looks like Gold would have been worth holding but hindsight's a wonderful thing, seem holidays are the reason for thin volume, not a true picture to be had with little activity and the price moving, hence my reason to cut the trade, anything could happen, nevertheless, a profit taken today, anyone care to post their thoughts?, D
