Do you trade longer term now Mal?
Yes . I am trying something new this year as I really burnt out by end of last year.

I am looking at 2 hour charts and those trigger numbers that HG has spoken about. This is why i was not in bull camp eu till 1.3020 taken out.

On gold the trigger line is 1365 , below that there was selling pressure till that shake out 1352 , now 1370 area seems to be the buy zone

I have done 4 trades this week and very little chart time. Getting up at 5am and hitting gym , getting 9 hour of good sleep a night and feel like a human again instead of letting the market take over my life.

Been one of my best weeks in trading oddly enough , not sure if that is just luck

for those into patterns there is a really clear cup and handle on gu 4 hour .. looks like she gonna rip big time next week.

vehry bullish pattern on gold suggests major usd weakness.

Not sure what is going on in eu , still no buy but with usd weakness I am not selling it either. es , gold , gu , and oil better trades

not sure if i'm 100% correct but i gotta be close. trigger numbers by gavin are typically like i said, the close of a large bar in recent bars. typically these get respected. often times these are the closes of large down bars closing in the middle, which then the close can get tested.

Wow really?! Well I wish you the best...

I would love to trade the H1... as you said gives us time. But find it difficult for some reason, only a few entries etc and need to be aware of when they are about. If you miss one, it can take days for another right?

And 5am?!!!!! Jeeeeez

the problem is, that malcolm spends too much time with the strippers. hard to find a way to be comfortable with ripping 10k a day and spending enough time with the luvverly strippers

Ok, please dont bite my head off... can a test be an up or down bar?

If so, can anyone clarify the test on M15 gold?

Anyone on here using skype to talk about trades? NOT TRADE SIGNALS.

  • Jan 7, 2011 10:26am Jan 7, 2011 10:26am
on skype we only talk about strippers

a test preferabyl is a bar, that dips below the low of a previous bar, in the range of a high volume downbar, but comes back up and closes near the highs on low vol. this bear challenges all the bears to come out, since it dipped below the lows. since it has low vol it indicates, that the bears have gone.


i am searching for a fitting setup and will post soon.

we like to have a test as a tiny spread bar but when the time comes and your experience grows, you see that it not always is of the same shape. see the screenshot here. to me this is a test. we have them dipping into a low, shaking it out, then making a test. this is a pretty common behaviour and often seems to be a inverse head & shoulders pattern. i like these, since you can trader big positions with low risk (not on nfp as the spike provers)

marking support, shaking weak longs out, testing and gun the market.

Is this an invite only club...

And thank you very much for the explanation...It's strange, I call a signal and dont take it... and bam makes my TP. The trades I take... dont go in my favour... such is life... ha

So lets say, Gold went up today on very high volume.... it has now retraced to the closing of those high bars. But NOT on high volume, so we wait for a bar down on high volume then look for tests for re-entry?

Sorry for all the questions.

another example since i am currently long, looking to add on a test of 2940 & 2960 if we make it.

this can also be regarded as a test. we have a sudden vol increase. then price shakes out below the lows and comes back up. we make another downbar and it has pretty tiny vol where previously we had high vol. this indicates that supply has gone. market has already proven stregth by coming back up.
