Right, because he had someone to liquidate his position to----the rest of the market, which was obviously still selling! If he didn't, the market would have gone right back up as soon as he started to unload his short position. That didn't happen ...

There are a lot of traders with the means to push prices several pips in one direction, and that's how you have defined manipulation.
- Zappa replied Oct 2, 2013
Well, I don't look at it as manipulation. I look at it as trying to trade with a huge sum of money where you can't just get in and out so quickly and easily like a small trader can. It still doesn't change the fact that you need the market going ...

Another thought. If it takes billions to move a market to where you want it, then what? What happens when you go to get out? Now you've got to liquidate everything you've built up and that should move the market right back to square one.

Come on man. Think about restrictions that governments put on markets such as "no short selling". Think of price controls. That's manipulation. If your only definition is moving a market by buying/selling with leverage, then there are a lot of ...

Insider trading and manipulation are not the same thing. As far as the British Pound trade, how did he actually manipulate the market? By simply shorting it? I believe if anybody was manipulating it, it was the British government. I don't know, I ...

This one's turning out good so far. To get in on the manipulation debate. I used to think it was obvious that manipulation was present. Now, not so much. The market is so perfect--all the time, and in virtually all markets--at going to where the ...

I'm bullish here. XTRADE, I know you're a real stickler for people explaining trades, but mine's real simple---I don't think it will hit my stop before it reaches the target.

Ahh, OK..thanks for clearing that up. Looks like a logical strategy!

I have my doubts about this theory, man. I'm all for trying to understand the market and its participants, but I see prices retrace past 50% all the time and then reverse. Hell, just look at the last 5 months in this gold market. I count 6 ...

A move to 1633 would test the break and that is a very common thing that happens.

I got a feeling we might see gold do something like this. The 2 highlighted bottoms were what I'd call "too easy" and have a good chance of being tested again. Once taken out, price can resume upwards. This is not a call to go short here, but rather ...

I wouldn't advise it. I'd wait until 1584 to buy, or 1760 to sell. 1584 has some easy stops to take, but 1563 should be safe. It might go to 1760 first, though, and it might not go to 1584 at all. Just look to buy there if it does.

Alright, guys...XTrade, beebs, MuscledMike, all is good now. I appreciate the apologies and I can respect that a full explanation is desired along with every call in this thread. It was my fault in the first place. As for gold....looks good up to ...

Let's put it this way, you coulda asked a little nicer without the "punt" comment and especially the statement at the end about ME knowing it all when all I did was make a call, as opposed to simply posting some tired analysis on a chart with "well, ...

I mentioned in my first post here that I was not in a gold trade. I have traded gold before so I guess that makes me a trader of gold. In my next post I explained (admittedley brief---I actually WAS busy today with things besides staring at a ...

Boy, tough crowd in here!! Silver tipped it's hand today and even though gold is only at 1621 I'm no longer bearish. Beebs is probably right, bullish is the way to go here. Good luck, guys.
- Zappa replied Aug 20, 2012
No, I never said I was new to gold. I disagreed with your statement that gold is different than any other liquid market, and you came back with a condescending reply.
- Zappa replied Aug 20, 2012
Yeah, well, we'll see here soon enough, Beebs. So you're long then, right?
- Zappa replied Aug 20, 2012
Nah, all liquid markets act the same.
