Where did you get this from?
Sorry, should have put the source.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_as_an_investment

edit: I'm out at BE. I'm watching that GC chart and I wouldn't have had the guts to go long on that. What's your entry and target, 1.5850?

I'm still in my Gold short , SL @ 1239. Entry on GC was 1.5626 with a 200 pip SL.

Do you know how I can fix my EU chart its missing data from 17th May to 21st June i.e. no data on my chart at all I've tried downloading the history data but no joy and in fact that's what caused the data to go awol in the first place.

Tell me something LJ, if you've got the time.

Has this journal helped you in any way to grow as a trader? I mean, considering the time and effort you've put in attaching the charts and analyzing your thought process, would you have gone another path? (having your own journal, not something public like this).

Do you have the time and is it hard to go back and analyze your trades from the beginning, surfing through some of the mumbo-jumbo here (as it is normal in a public forum)?

Would you have done something different, journal-wise?

I'm considering making my own public journal, even though my performances are modest, to say the least (though breaking even isn't that bad, but it's not what I expected).

When you go to history center and double click EURUSD, say 1 Hour, or Daily, doesn't matter, do you see the data being there?

Try closing the platform and opening it again.

If that doesn't do the trick, try this 2 things.

First thing:

 

  1. Close the platform (but first, look at the server that you're using - click the numbers in the bottom right).
  2. Go to MT4 folder historycurrent server you're using and delete all EURUSD files (should be EURUSD1, EURUSD5 ... EURUSD43200).
  3. Open the platform again and connect to the same server. It should download the whole history again.

If that doesn't work, take this file, unzip it and replace the files in history.

One of this methods should work.

Took this earlier...but chikened out and got out at FTA. Not sure why the EUR is so strong across the board...

Watching GU for some PA on lower timeframes around then 1.5 round number, we have big divergence.

Watching YM closely for another leg down at around 10160-70.

Taken some losses today by straying away from my rules.

E/U approaching support, and DJ been sitting on some for a bit now. Would you make a play on E/U, or do you prefer for them to hit resistance at the same time almost exactly?

Took a short EU - touch trade and with YM sitting between 10170 and 10120 hopefully we'll break down further on YM soon.

Also taken a 30min BEOB on GU.

LJ, I don't know if you're still around or holding GC, but I think if that line doesn't hold (the neckline of a nice H&S), there's nothing holding price down to 1.54, maybe 1.53.

Just a heads up.

Agreed...Sl is just under there. Seems my analysis was right I was just far to late to the party.

Took this earlier...gotta go out soon so not really looking at charts till later.

I would have added there, but it's Friday and I'm taking it slow. Closed 1/3 of position at 1.2270.

1.220x looks like the target for now. Heavy confluence (and another neckline, which if it gets broken, 1.20 here we come).
