Still no trade but 1.6611 is a crucial level to entry a short or hold long. IMHO says short at least untill 1.6583/93 !
Seems like imho is wrong, now focus on 1.6635 ! Still no trade !
I only trade XAU/USD. Based on USD news & Fib SR & BB20

taking small long at 6623, will try to add if PA allows. I'm awaiting a run up, mainly because of gdp, which if considering all other indicators should be better than -0.4%. and price has broken over 6600 and that meens a TL (6875-6650) this could be break day. sl below 6600.

My friend - 7 years back I was in the same situation as yours. Many lessons have been learnt independently...without much advice from anyone.

My tiny bit of advice - always have a plan. Know where you are entering and know where you will stop out of your position. I always keep my TP open.

I think the plan should encompass the following -

1) What products are you going to be trading?
2) What strategy are you using?
3) Do you know all the economic data and events coming out for point 1
4) What is your stop level after initiation?
5) What is your lot size?
6) How are your Emotions, Thoughts and Feelings?

I have had the biggest issue with point 6...it requires a lot of introspection.

Always be at it...and be small (you need to be in the game for the rest of your life) and you will come out a winner.

All the best.

i appreciate your advise.
Some sage advice coming from those of you whyo are more long in the tooth about trading. I've been in for about a year and am still reading advidly every book cd etc I can get my hands on.
The physcological side of trading is as important I have found as the technical side. These are typical trading errors which I am still guilty of at times.

  1. Refusing to define a loss
  2. Not liquidating a loosing position even tho it's going against you
  3. Get locked into a belief - this is trying to control the market
  4. Getting locked into a price of a trade instead of looking where the market is moving - being greedy
  5. Revenge trading
  6. Not reversing your position - think you know better than the market
  7. Planning a move then being frozen by fear and cannot hit the bid or offer button.. ( I did that yesterday)
  8. Not acting on intuititon
  9. Establishing trading success over a period then giving it back to the market in one or two trades... oh yes!!!!!

Good trading to all

( Think I'd better read those points again)

According to news ........Leaked figures from UK national stats say UK is now out of recession and analyists believe that the true figures are better than those actually reported. The last time those figures were presented ( negative) a huge downward spike was presented to the market.

Make of this what you will
