I hope I wasn't putting words in Mike's mouth!
Sorry Mike if I misrepresented you.

Either way, gold is off my radar for the moment
I am sure Mike made some good money shorting that thing from the top. All i am saying is i wouldnt feel comfortable having a long term short position. While there are money to be made on both sides, i think we still might see some fat BRNs being hit on the upside this year.

I should think Mike is well beyond the stage of predictions.
I wish I could always just trade what I see like that

Thank you Mike. Sorry for the late response.

So you took a long off 02/15 bar.. which broke multiple highs. I was thinking you were talking about short based on 02/22 bar, which is off from 135.

So you didn't wait for the daily bar to close for this trade, right ? As you said it is pure break-out trade not a PA trade on retracement.
Hey C

Yes I bought when price broke those bars marked with the arrows. ALA 2BH(2 bar high) continuation as James shows. I use multiple highs and simply place a buy stop above those areas in this case

Hey IMA

I really referred to gold rounding off in the first portion of that down move. Now that we are back up testing the highs I am both open to price falling again, or breaking through and using that area as support

Here was my gold short

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...76#post4313176

The bull market took a heavy breather and I was just in for some of that consolidation and retracement. Long term yeah gold 3k LOL but as a trader we get that beautiful flexibility to play all sides so this was just another "trade"

I look forward to whatever happens

Hey C

The times I play a pure break are on multi bar highs/lows(here is an example I played). This is the 2 bar high/2bar low James speaks about that often gets passed. I just take it to a more extreme with multi highs/lows

I will also play breakouts that have a bar that has tipped off which way. Sometimes they stick out far(nzd/jpy) other times they are not quite out of the pattern yet. I call these pre-emptive.

And of course pullbacks

Thank you Mike. I did see this chart when I read most of them threads.. but never realized or understood clearly when to play.

In the trade you played, it was a 5 bar ( 3 + 2) high. But all 5 bars are not together. Does it make any differrence in playing such a setup ?

Hey C

For me I just like them to be very close pip wise they can be spread out(but would need at least a couple in the short term ) If you look a few posts under for some more examples

It can be very great for a "burst out" on a breakout , which is how I play them

I would be very careful at that 39 area of the former breakout area. That can be a strong support level now. But if it can break right through and hold as resistance that would be what we want. If you nailed that retrace the 39 level is a great level to cover or get to b/e in my eyes. Strong uptrend on this equity(and great coffee)
