Size of the trades were never a problem as the disconnections were always general and for all traders and not targeted just at me...

Years with OANDA?

Been with Oanda since 2003. They almost lost me as a satisfied and happy customer in 2009-2010 when disconnections problems began to be a routine during news / volatility... I'm not talking about 10-15 seconds disconnect/reconnect but for periods of ...

Don't let the market foul you Patience is the name of the game ... Watch 1.4158 carefully in the next sessions. (either as support or resistance)

EURUSD

Ka-Ching !!! — Ka-ching !!! Sold full position (early target2) at 1416.00. This trade went higher and faster than I planned. Not liking divergence in 4H chart, and that spike in price. Now flat, will let the dust settle a bit before entering ...

Ka-ching !!! Sold 1/3 XAU/USD position (target1) at 1392.00. All stops at entry now, ready for the free ride... Will try to reload next week the 1/3 position sold on dips. Have good week-end all.

XAU/USD Spot Gold

Not second guessing signals here... It sure looks (and is) not really easy to go long here, but either the market will go higher and the long trade will be ok, or we'll get an invalidation signal that will trigger an opposite short trade. Using ...

XAU/USD Spot Gold

Nothing really new to post, gold AND silver are now in shorting territory... We have an obvious descending trendline to protect the shorts (around 1370). As long as gold stays below 1371 and silver 28.78, it's shorting time for me, no second ...

Stopped on Gold at 1366 on the full position 1383 & 1368 shorts. Time to re-evaluate, and see action around yesterday's doji.

XAU/USD Spot Gold

Signal not triggered in Silver, staying flat. Keeping stops at 1366 in gold just above yesterday's doji, if gold is weak it have to prove it by going lower, otherwise I'll be taken out with a profit and will be able to re-evaluate the situation. ...

XAU/USD Spot Gold

Short gold trade still looking ok. Waiting for the first target 1352 to be hit. Full position stops lowered to 1366. Notice the descending trendline at around 1385. If gold should show strength then it will have to get back above that trendline.

XAU/USD Spot Gold

yep, nice test. Gold, staying weak so far.

XAU/USD Spot Gold

Short term target if gold stay weak --> 1345. Using a 1Hour chart with 2 previous resistance lines that were broken. We already get back below the 1st one (cyan circles) If we have to retest the 2nd one (purple circles), target would be in the ...

XAU/USD Spot Gold

yep, It takes time to detach from the money value and focus on playing only on the game the best as you can. The hardest part in trading is achieving emotional control, to avoid irrational behaviors, that make you lose tons of money. It's so hard, ...
