IuSun. Thank you, yes... Gold may be safety port for many people... I am currently short 995 - XAU/USD because of retesting levels around 995-997. With saving at 997... There is my edge and maybe I will take target around 993...

One thingy , I haven't figured out is about God's created animal, The dog. (which is god spelled the other way around.) And you will never in your life, find another animal that would love you more and without condition. You figure this out you let me know. Also know your superiority over all of creation, you are that the ONLY in all creation , that can smile and laugh with joy and happiness.
human create "racecar"(which is racecar spelled the other way around), love the move ,the speed, the feel, the rush etc.. god's gift to man ,use wisely !

Yes:-). I was a little joking... I had to ask myself questions and realized... So shared my thinking procession a little. Maybe it was uselless for you...I only tried to analyze what had happened, why i made such decisions... Yes, mistake(not big, but important to accept it in my head..)... good MM, thats all right... So i assume good trading lesson for me.. Believe, that thanks to my abillity to reflect my own feelings and decisions, i am not a begginer more, unless it seems to be like i am

i was looking at the örderflow-thread mentioned here and was now wondering where stops could be.... i thought 4455 and it look there where some.

now i am looking at a level around 4500 if this breaks $ loses value quick.... do you guys think that this level will be defended by CB'S.
i think this would be wise and part of their job.

i am realy carefull today.
even with my eyes open i cannot see everything

Why do you think that defending this particular level is either wise or that CBs should consider it as part of their job?

don't try to guess where stops are at when price is in an impulsive wave, price know no boundaries at these times. Look and feel for exhaustion to get out of your position.

Don't try to guess anything, let the charts tell you.

1.45 will mostly be psychological number ... it wont break easily ...
at least we know that the undercurrent is usd losing value ...
this would change only when the fed starts to raise rate ...

this because gold broke 1000 and i worry about a weaker dollar more .... iam thinking about getting my money out of the dollar account and opening a euro account. if i am thinking this there a probably more people who do.

how i understand it: it''s a cb's task to keep some peace in markets. not defend this particular level, but if a tier1 bank (their eyes and ears) report that a huge amount of ordrs are there they could try to keep price from getting there today. i think they cannot change trend without changing rates but they can pause momentum.

i always am carefull around round numbers. reduce my position when aproaching. i was reading about orderflow and microstructure this weekend. a reason that makes sense to me is because many limit-orders are placed around those numbers.
i was thinking stops but it could very well be sell-limits or market-orders. Yes i should not guess.

thanks for making me think some more...

OK, I am square on the GBP/$ long position, and am looking at the EUR/$ for any retrace profits at/after the NY open. Still waiting on the E/J.

you are right that i was guessing. there is something i am struggeling with. fti said we have to understand market structure to understand what the charts tell us.

the more i study market structure the more i seem to guess because i think i recognise something. it is said: "don't think ... FEEL"

what do you suggest, just try to feel what the charts tell me or try to understand what the charts tell?

J-pax,

The conclusion from the orderflow thread came from the very start and is that they needed to be able to see the order books from their broker, LOL.

As we will never be able to see them, ( if you want that go to work for one).

Trade your charts, you know where most punters place their stops. but the big boys will show you with their actions, don't try and guess where they are.
