wow man, thats a lot of red pips, how many trades you got going at once? You must be a very long term trader?
lol no, gold is just a little volatile. A 1000 pips can be reached in 5 minutes sometimes. I just bought at he wrong time, but it will go up and takes a couple of days.
My target is $1,000 per ounce and if I reach that it will be 10,000 pips.
It might take some time but I will reach it.

I assume the 8$ figure is with margin included?

In any case, if the maximum drawdown per lost trade is 3.2%, sounds just about right to me. I must warn you though, you will be tempted to break your rules and even if you do stick to them, you may burn your account. You may end up doing this several times, the key is to not give up.

All traders have a rough start, whether rich or poor to begin with..starting equity 100dollars or 100,000 dollars... all traders lose their account at some point in time, whoever says different is lying...either that...
once more, many thanks for the help..

Is that $8 per pip? It all depends on the size of your account, dont risk more than 1% of your account on a single trade especially if your new
$8 per pip? He announced earlier that he has a $100 trading account.
You do need a little more to trade $8 per pip

I agree with you that we might see above $1000, but I will wait till $820 for an entry. I know its a bit far off but I like to play it safe.

. EU M15 chart sporting a couple of Bear Channels, good consolidation signs before next move down.....to the lower 1.3200s I'd venture a guess based upon the fib extensions off the last Bollinger band squeeze.....
I am so tempted to jump on board the short train but not yet...if you look closely at your chart that area you selected with the lowest point being 1.3330 is the first strong support before continuation down. So far its holding well on 2 tests.

1.3415/25 has acted as strong resistance/support historically including today..still...im still dreaming about my perfect short entry off 1.3485...would love to ride that entry down to 1.3130

one other thing...im not sure if you fully developed your strategy yet but i suggest reading some threads on systems starting with the THV thread by Cobraforex
I'm one of THV user. Been use the method for some months and it works very good. All in one system, simple and afterall it is free . I'm not telling you it is the best system or any such holy grail things. In fact, I have several negative days when trading with THV. But if you have build enough positive attitude in trading and also some hundreds screentime hours, then trading with THV will be much easier. Just follow the rule and it will be fine.

One last thing, the community is very well mannered and helpful.
Manage your risk accordingly and you're half done your home work.

Most of the experts (for what its worth) have their target @ 850 and they all expect it to go up from there.
I'll just keep buying at every big dip.


Edit, its going up rapidly now
200 pips up in the last few minutes

The price will only dip as the demand for gold is much greater then the actual availability even if all central banks throw their gold out the door. China can buy all the gold of the world and still would want more.... just my 2 pips no worries....

April 7 (Reuters) - Following is a selection of comments from analysts on important technical developments in the foreign exchange market.
MIZUHO CORPORATE BANK * EURO/DOLLAR: "Hugging the top of the Ichimoku 'cloud', hovering around the nine-day moving average. The euro is not overbought and one-month at-the-money implied volatility is lower than it has been since October. Time to start picking up again? A sustained break above last month's high at $1.3739 should see another round of short-covering and send it back up towards $1.4400."
* DOLLAR/YEN: "Consolidating neatly under yesterday's high at 101.45 yen and we continue to favour another brief squeeze higher still, to 102.00 and possibly even as high as 106.50 some time this month."
