no problems - one day you will be right

however there are a lot of newbies here who react badly to eruptions like yours, so perhaps you could have tempered it a bit....

one system i trade is mean reversion. This system has a sell on just about every major commoditie going around.

We are getting close....
Moving averages crossover? Overbought Oscillators?

well come on then, we are all here to hear someone out. You need to back up your claim with some facts. Anyone can make a statement that something is going up and down, you need to add why.

silver hit a trendline and 23.6 fib line, stochastics under 20, and RSI nearing oversold.

Personally, I think its some big boys taking some profits but they are still long silver at least until $50/oz.

I am thinking that fall was a good time to add longs

happy trading

Who said silver was slow

Top 49.78
Low 45.68

Range = 4.10

As percentage of top price that is 8.2%

That is crazy.

no system is never 100%, so i could be wrong.
This one is based on speculation sentiment(which can be measured) and time(which is very subjective)
And i use it when i feel very long term trends are close to an end. it works more time than not.

I like your TA contribution but logically:

If you are long and you take profits you are no longer long. You are out of the market.
So you cannot still be long for $50?

Are you saying taking partial profits?
They have now re-entered the market at a lower level?

Unless you happen to know any of the big boys in the playground how do you know it was them taking profit?
This is a Bank Holiday in the UK. The big boys are at home with mummy and not coming out today.

How does anyone know what the big boys are doing?

Even light selling or buying will move the price significantly, hence this massive swing on the day.

Maybe your system is "never" 100%?

I think you have a misspelling there (or at least a double negative) or a Freudian slip perchance?

yes, I was talking about partial profits, so they may have closed a few percent of their position, and then re-entered.

even though it is a bank holiday, there has still been fairly high volumes (could be stops in place).

Sorry for being a bit nasty.

XTrade tries to run a tight ship here so if you make a comment like commodities are going to hell or the big boys are taking profits and then they will go for $50. But you have no evidence for it. You will get jumped on.

I cannot see any volumes on my platform but there will be volumes on the futures (waste paper) contracts.

What is the volume like as compared with a normal trading Monday?

No problem,

the sell-off earlier in spot silver had very high volumes (from what I see on oanda anyway) and was comparable to any normal spike. I haven't checked any futures volumes so I don't know for sure, but it was A 7%+ move and that doesn't come without many orders being filled and adding to the volumes.

By the way you shouldn't really listen to what I say i'm only 15 and don't really know what i'm talking about.

Usdx did a good job perhaps but eu or gold not responding much as still it a bear & perhaps no good news to eyewash. so more wait for any entry to keep , scalping at times for few pips ok though .

OK so I will flatten my 100 USD MOVE trades on GOLD because you are flooding me with technical analysis backed by various fundamentals?



OR

Let me guess you heard it somewhere, maybe a friend of a friend.

Actually the talking heads heads' are SPINNING. There is absolutely NO sign of whatever you are talking about.

End.........

Now people PLEASE REFRAIN FROM MAKING WILD UNSUBSTANTIATED CLAIMS IN THIS THREAD.
