Anyone here trade with no SLs?
Just remove 3 limit buys 0.01 at 5454-61 but i got scared when i see more than 150pips to be safe..
Guess what, price move 840pips..

darn...how to trade like this.
SLs lower than 100 are not safe at all...

Yes the 2nd spot was where i was aiming for.
Not very comfortable with having big SLs. That's the problem..

Need to plan for catastrophic disaster in case brokers go offline, network or power shutdown.
1st case happen to some folks at gold thread.. 2nd happen to me..
So i can't have trades running without SLs now..

No choice man, i am seeing a lot of potential for gold.
Some of the initial first moves come from ranges in M1.

Also, banks keep raising their price higher and higher. Forecast last year was for 3800-4000. Stop? no.
They are not satisfied go even higher 4100, next 5000. Stop? no.

Latest targets for CBs 5700,5900,6000 pop up.
Initially i don't really want to get hook up with these figures.
But now, I am starting to paid more attention to their price lines.
Also I can see at least 5 strong fundamentals in the mix that would sustain these movement..

As you know, price action is fractal in nature. As ITB mentioned, it’s all about screen-time and acclimatization, which takes years of deliberate practice. If — and only if — your psychology and risk model are suited to trading the M1 chart, that’s perfectly valid. It’s the most granular and raw timeframe, allowing you to observe the mechanics of price action well before they become visible on higher timeframes.

Talking about m1 chart. Got some nice pips during ASIA.
Generally don't trade m1, but such a huge range left me with no option.

Nice work.
Do you place any SLs when you trade in case of unforeseen events?
If so, how many pips and where do you place your SLs?

I see many liquidity above and below.
Either London or NY will come up to clean up these areas before their next move.

For CFD, I use a soft stop loss, which is wide that allows me to employ DCA. Generally the SL would be the previous swing point or a zone than the zone I am trading off.

In the above, the SL is the swing low below the EG rectangle.

Asian move was overly exaggerated.
Intraday high reached during London session.

5430-70 is day low (38-50%).
However, it can easily go lower to 5400 (61.4%)
Now is which low is heading to for liquidity. NY will decide later. IMHO.

And weekly and daily is even more exaggerated.
Daily is already parabolic. Almost 1000 point move after last breakout.
If today closes green, it will be 8th up day in row.

That's crazy right. No other pairs ever come close to the way gold move. Nobody ever see anything like this before.
Dow30 do move like a wild beast. But gold, it is on another level...

Well, it's getting closer to end of month. So if this parabolic move is high of Jan, hmm...that pullback would be sharp.
Last time i measured, it was 1000-1300pips, then came 2000, next even worse 2900+pips.
So be careful folks.
