LOL. Well, if the COMEX defaults on delivery, paper goes to zero. The physical stuff, however.......
I do have some coins, I have been itching to sell them for sometime now, so last year, I took a brick out of a wall, and cemented them in. Took a page from Jessie Livermore on that one...

[quote=Wulfgar;4561794]Im a long term channel trader and I trade what I see. the market will do what it wants and i am ready either way... if it goes back down then I have levels along that way I look at levels of contention( numbers which repeat mathematically over time or clusters) to play off of.
Currently i have several positions on EU long from 1.2002 on up and we are currently in the middle of a large monthly channel which goes from about 1.3728 to 1.4911 with many many channels in between them


and fyi I actually dont even use candlesticks or anything to trade. I trade purely by mathmatical analysis and pages of numbers(aka my "charts").

The thing about trailing stops is that it can be too tight sometimes. a 30 pip trail is easily hit. Just take EU today for example. If I had shorted, I'd probably be stopped out now with a 30 pip SL. Its that easy to get hit.

Problem is... putting a too large trail is almost equivalent to just setting at breakeven. Well, this one is still a lesson in progress. Maybe one day I'll find a good way to use trails.
Your odds would be alot better by taking daily trend position they ride higher and lose lesser, which is long. Before you sleep, set SL at breakeven and trailing at 20+ pips, much better if you're 10-20 pips ahead.

She looks really tired after the 3rd attempt triple top on m5 chart, pullback could happen soon before further up.

When I get an itch to sell silver, I just look at the ratio to gold. If it's compressed enough and I expect a pullback, I trade the silver for gold. Rinse, repeat....but I always hold a core of both....

The European focus will be on the IFO data today. A slight pullback is expected due to spill-over effects from Japan, but the recent PMIs were 'OK' so something of a non-event is likely. Spain's success in selling bonds has helped shift the focus slightly, away from Greece's woes, and the next obstacle is the probability that politicians will start to squeal about euro over-valuation imminently. We're still on our way to EUR/USD 1.50.

Euro is in a one sided trade, indicating a major reversal setting up. it will happen on the easter sunday trading or for sure next week it will one sided trade to the downside. there will be no opportunity in averging.

Actually you did open my mind a little. I can see now that trailing stops are only useful in the presence of a trend.

In a confused market, its better to just set at breakeven. I will test this going forward.

lol thanks man Im def no jesse livermore!

My strategy normally includes a position entry with 2 TP targets... I treat the 1st one as adding to my "stop loss account" and the 2nd as a profit builder

I then let the last leg ride and move my SL down to BE

It is a great way to build HUGE risk free positions... I generally then use major major areas of confluence that develop over time to slowly creep my overall stop up as well as major macro-economic driving fundamental factors.

ofcourse I say all this till we get to the summer doldrums months when all the big dogs are out of the game and we get in these tight channels when i put my"scalper" hat on, load up the 5 min charts and go crazy with price action!!! lol!

I took a long position earlier tonight when the price broke above the 4546 resistance when it retraced a little and found support at 5EMA. I had my SL set 10pips below the 10EMA at that time for a max loss of ~15EMA. Now as I am getting ready for bed I will probably take profit on half my position and leave the rest on a 20pip trailing stop. First day at FF and I learned something to help my trade already! Thanks for everyone's contribution

Right now I am curious as to how the hourly candle will end...I want to get in on the short side but the price action is not allowing me to do so...yet. I may take a small speculative short with extremely tight stop if the hourly candle closed with a bearish one and liquidate my longs. Hmm

I've recently stuck my toe into platinum. And palladium. But I'm a gold/silver junky......
for me it was always silver too, traded a little platinum, but those guys in NY where beyond crooks, I mean the took it to a new level...when this silver does sell off, it will be one for the record books. I'm guessing when it does take a breather, the will be quoting it 10/20 cents wide...the bastard always thins out on the breaks, in fact I would look for any widening of quotes as a sign...
