I dont see gold going to $800 yet

By the way, I did not short gold, I said I will wait for it to drop to $500 before buying.

got to have more than one broker. interbank wouldnt let me close my order i was in such a rush i opened a order with 115 lots by mistake i tried to hurry up and close it but kept getting the famous waiting to close order screen i decided to let it run went all the way up to 1.3869 then when i tried to close it on the way down still couldn't close the order. My fxsol account didn't have any issues. always is better to have at least 2 different brokers to trade with.

Well I don't know whether $80 or $800 is next. I just follow the trend and the trend right now is in the direction of $800.

What divergences are all over the markets. Because you think some markets that are going up which "should" be going down and vice versa? Please explain what you mean by divergences.

I have FXsol also, only small problem was when the news hit, it wouldn't execute the trade....but after that, my trade was process with no problem and my spread is always fixed. I love that the most.

As I said, the risks is too much compared to the reward for going long on gold. Maybe it's enough for you but currently it's only $10 gain for now, if I believed that this upmove can gain $100 I would go long, but my beliefs/technicals tell me that the potential for the down move is bigger so the risk/reward is not worth it for me. I did not deny that Gold is still in upmove, but I believed that this upmove is rather limited from here, that was why I did not want to go long.

I learned that IBFX is one IMPORTANT factor to consider when taking a trade, of course specially during volatile times...

Most of the times it is better give away some pips on higher than usual spreads as to get the order filled. And jumping on pullbacks are the right time when the volatility dims a little, although difficult task, provides the best trades...

Gotta keep the blood at 0ºC to trade this broker during those times. But besides this fact, I have no complaints about them

In spite of the large spreads during important news (this is a rule of the game, so we cannot complain about it), zero problems.

- system operational fulltime (few minutes during the day it goes out, like 7:20 to 7:25pm EST sharp)
- very nice online help
- orders get filled easily. Problems only with GJ when it's moving too fast. It's hard to get the price
- Limits and Stops are aways filled.

Their news suck, though.

You don't mind the 9 pip spread on the GBP/JPY pair. By the way, how high did the spreads go on it or the GBP/USD pair during the US interest statement news?

---Thanks.

Anyone want to speculate as to what will happen to this US interest rate for the rest of the year? I hear a further cut, but don't know when or by how much.
