Not yet. Held above that 1,474 mark. Hoping for some upward momentum! Any ideas on drivers for the bearish behavior at NY open? I should probably be on the sidelines until I see a strong direction. Looks like support holding around 1480. Went long ...

4 + 1 (Metals) strategy

A 3+ hour support level holding. Decided to go long. Bought at 1481. SL 1476. TP1 1485. TP2 1490.5. Where is it going and is there any explanation for the drop surrounding NY Open?

Wow...Pipoholic. Great start....perhaps the rough outline of a book in your future. I am saving this post and going to read it a few times as there are a LOT of insights in there. Thanks for sharing.

Trading Truths

I don't think we can count our chickens before they hatch on the US/China trade war. Both sides (although more the US) can be a bit flexible and change positions on a dime if anything doesn't appear to be going in the desired direction. How many ...

Gold right now is waiting for bulls to seize control and have a little run.

Great story. Thanks for sharing. I agree that playing with real money makes you learn that much faster. I am still in learning mode and have a few demo accounts to try different things, but have started trading on my own funds recently and am well ...

Successful traders are very, very rare to find

I see you have a mix of XAUUSD and XAUAUD. What is leading you to chose one or the other at execution? I must admit, as a newbie, it is all I can do to monitor one pair

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

Bought in at 1502.91 and 1503.15. SL at 1497. TP Open. Closed my limit orders.

Have a buy limit order at 1501.8. I think I missed that window briefly. May look for a brief drop to enter. Looks like the support is holding.

I closed out my short position. Nice returns on the trade. I just didn't see it hitting the 1499 level before I would stop out. Right now your buy entry looks pretty good. On the sidelines currently, but will watch to see if something else comes up. ...

Need to work on this part myself. Getting better with time though.

Successful traders are very, very rare to find

I am just starting to trade, but if I can't get better than the SP500 why spend so much time trying to do this? It is fun, invigorating and frustrating at times, but after a year or two, if I am just getting a return that I could ...
