possible eg long .8002/.8005 with bear weakness. with a tight stop.
this one and the gbp went to where was needed. this one could be a resumption of trend and if not, a 5 pip stop wasn't so bad for the chance for hundreds.

the gy has also hit a target. so a 2915 pullback could be in the future, the nearer to 129.64 the better for a short.. there or any time now. weakness there or anytime should be looked for. i say 129.15, but 127.65 is cool too. i try not to hold any aud pairs s for more then a brief amount of days. the fundis are saying japan will loosen cash.. but they have said this a while. you cant push uphill without a rest forever. simple.. no weakness... then dont short it... if you do, dont have a wide stop.. take the loss and move on

Good R/R on Gold.

Don't know about the levels...but it is either staying in the channel and moving higher (1728ish) or breaking the flag to the downside (1690ish).

Long GOLD 1708.71
added at 1707.63 and 1706.83

My main trading is carried out via automated strategies. I do not trade with stops, but rather offset risk (hedge) in other accounts. For this trade either with short gold or short silver. Depending on changes in PA and how long the trade takes to mature, I will add to the original long and or hedge it and come back to this specific trade later.

If price reaches it.. opening previous EU hedge, by closing profitable short side at 1.2887.

I will attempt to exit long side at 1.3010 or higher. If I have too, I will re-hedge it and then wait.

The 55-ema & 200-ema didn't cross a couple of days ago on my E/U daily chart...

Anyway, are you expecting an up-bounce from 1.2903?

FYI - I checked my ThinkorSwim platform - and got the same chart as my MT4 chart posted above. The daily-55ema has yet to cross the daily-200ema on both my MT4 and TOS daily E/U charts.

But look at where yours crossed and compare that to where his crossed. Probably due to different daily "closing" times. One additional reason why perhaps 95% of forex traders fail to make money. The daily charts are all over the place.


Anyway, not a big deal... Just wanted to pick Hatch's brain initially.
