Subscribed! I look forward to learning more about how you trade Aussie.

"AUSSI" my thread and anything I want to put here

Down 1% so far. I think I'm finally getting the hang of MT4 now at least.

Metal Competition Zone (Demo)

I love what I do so I don't slow down too much when the markets are closed. I'll do a research project, read a book, read some top quality blogs, create plans for the future, etc. I couldn't be more of a finance nerd so this is a lot of fun for me ...

What do you do when the market is closed?

DJIA was basically unchanged all weekend: image It doesn't look like there will be a risk driven gap at the open.

XAU/USD & XAG/USD - Gold & Silver Traders Thread

I was just looking at the Eurodollar futures curve and wanted to see when it last looked like this. Here's the current one: image Here's an old curve that looks remarkably similar: image The second curve is from June 4th, 2007. In ...

Metals Outlook: Cash and Futures

Thanks! I like to keep an eye on the different major asset classes. Usually they tell the same story, but occasionally one will diverge which makes things interesting. You're right, that is futures volume. Good observation about it being so heavy to ...

Gold RIGHT NOW

I'll join you guys next week. Here's my explorer: image Wish me luck on using MT4, it got me during the first week.

That's interesting, it sounds like the end result is very similar to volume profile? I've noticed a few other really good traders using that and I'm beginning to see a lot of merit to this approach.

The Skenobi Speculations - The Gold Market

Took a slight hit today, but it was a fantastic week overall largely thanks to the G20. Have a great weekend everyone!

The Fed's dual mandate is to maximize employment and maintain price stability. They've met the first objective since the US has a 3.7% unemployment rate which is below the long term natural rate: image (link) It would reason that the Fed should ...

High Impact Events Trading... Gold & Copper

I concede I was 1,000% wrong about this. NFP was all that mattered today.

High Impact Events Trading... Gold & Copper

Right now I'm looking at equities rally (top left) and wondering if gold (bottom right) will decide to follow. Would be nice to see bonds (top right) tick higher... image

Gold RIGHT NOW

Yep, the expense ratio is high but with levered funds I'm never too concerned about that. With a triple levered fund, getting the direction right is pretty much my only concern. lol Plus, 1.35% is cheaper than what you could borrow on margin. Most ...

The Thinkorswim platform has a seasonality chart type if you happen to use them: image If not, you might like to review some of the seasonality charts I posted here.

Gold RIGHT NOW

Amazing write up EventsTrader! I have a theory about the employment report... Between NFP and Avg Hourly Earnings (AHE), I think AHE is more important right now. NFP speaks to the strength of the labor market, but a low print isn't all that ...

High Impact Events Trading... Gold & Copper

What's weird is there haven't been intermarket moves, its mostly just gold moving. It feels like some sort of automated rebalancing that takes place each day. Given its only been 3 days this could be nothing, but we might be able to frontrun it if ...

Nice work MzansiObi!!! I wish I could say I got in too. I've got a felling you'll do very well with this trade.

Palladium trading

I'm beginning to notice a pattern here... Gold's been spiking the past few days around the same time. Too bad the market will be closed this time tomorrow, we'll have to see if the pattern holds up next week.
