I have started this month tracking all my trades so soon I hope to be able to figure out what is best for me. Can't believe how much it has helped already!

You have to get to know yourself thoroughly to make it in this business. Keep a journal to write down your thoughts about each trade you entered to start of with, know why your chosen method/strategy works or doesn't work, find the edge in your trading and find the edge in yourself, then take maximum advantage of that.

I know exactly what works for me, I know my personal limitations, I know my methods limitations, I know what time of the day/month/year works and what doesn't work. I know what time of year to take a break (summer/xmas) and know exactly what day to start trading again. I know how long to hold a position trade, I know how and when to scale it in and how and when to scale it out.

I have entire bookcases filled with journals and continuously look back over them to see how and where I can improve my trading. Trading is a continuously journey and one never really finishes it.

On the same token, I keep a database with stats about prices and its behaviour over time for each pair that I trade.

It will go down much further than that imo

maybe not today but 3580 minimum is my bet

downtrend may even continue from here taking out 1.28

we did hit 61.8 fib
Coming along nicely, people falling over each other here buying resistance all week. Posted bs charts since wednesday showing rising wedge/distribution. Now in the pub with all my shorts in the +80-120 area. 3580 then 3420

You have to get to know yourself

If you don't know yourself then this could be an expensive place to find out.

hourly closes below 3664 and 43 invites a attack on 3575.. closes below 3575.. maybe a normal fib retrace, maybe half jan. move,
crunch time. 43 resistance atm

One day, hopefully I will know half as much as you. Until then just keep teaching and giving good advice like this!

thanks. no method is better than the other. they are all valid. they are just the lens through which you see the market. how you employ it makes all the difference.

Not sure that that's true. People with lower frequencies see high-freq, multiple positioning as too hard, requiring too much focus and having too much room for mistakes.

People who like to Tango would never break-dance, but it doesn't mean they don't respect it for what it is.

If we do want to talk about arb'ing a fool against himself, I resemble that remark.

Even while I was writing about how I wasn't believing this to be a tradable bear move yet, I failed to notice that a little after 9E, the analytics rolled me short on the basis of the the unwinding of those trigger lines in the graph.

There is this gold fund manager in the lower CT/NY Metro area who has been buying gold for decades.. started buying them at $70-$80/oz and never paid more than $200/oz.. I spoke to him about a month ago and he still had a very large position (I thought he was already square after a 1,400 print) and is conservatively taking profits / looking for higher prints. His Advice: Never buy gold above $200/oz.

It's been short-season for a while in GOLD but it's holding off until the fed decides to raise interest rates (ie. go from being the borrower to being the lender). Bonds are at all time highs.. this economic cycle is approaching maturity and the tides will shift very soon. Just my 2c's on gold



Enjoy your weekend.

EUR/USD intraday: the downside prevails.
Pivot: 1.3755

Our preference: Short positions below 1.3755 with targets @ 1.3575 & 1.3525 in extension.

Alternative scenario: Above 1.3755 look for further upside with 1.3805 & 1.3865 as targets.

Comment: the pair has broken below its support and should face a further weakness.

wtf EU @1.3604 wat did i miss lol?? looks like that candle guy was right again!

as for my new Strategy good job i use that 10pip STOP to lock in my gain:

ENTRY: 1.3703
SL: 1.3623
SL now at 1.3713 as price broke above 1.3720+

got stopped out 1.3713 = +10pips, price did each 1.3740+ so not a bad start

Ok , good to have some information from a gold investor but what from risky investors who get refuge when trouble with currencies , bonds etc to gold ? they have to buy gold for safety any time at any levels .

Anyway all theses wages, price hikings for every real substances already are & continuing up while gold down substancially can keep artificially down by any force around the world,already is much less than it should be I read some where ? think not me & will up again to any levels up in future & 200$ gold will remain an ancient time price in the history & the trader perhaps bought at that time & become very very rich by this time & will become poor if he started sell only very soon.
