Yes, took a few green pips on the way up... Thought the counter-trend trade was a bit risky so pulled the plug early. I prefer to go with trend.

D1 - Do you think if we get a rally on the Euro today then the Dax may retreat? Not sure how long this Euro counter-rally may last agst USD, might be quite weak.

Most Equities markets (and futures) are down slightly today, so we may get some gold buying...

Are you willing to take a short trade?

I like this brief gold rally, hoping it breaks into 1290s, looking to short later today. Not sure if it will break 1287 though.

It was an OTM Call Option on Gold Futures with Feb 15 Expiry. They peaked last Friday, which was the ideal day to execute, Eg Last trading day before Greek Elections. These options are now worth peanuts, as Gold price has been retreating since last ...

Nope! I'm a newbie to full-time trading, so thought I'd just see how its goes... I also had my eye on Gold OTM Call Options with a 1300 strike (Feb 15), they went up 1800% in the last 2.5 weeks. Next one I spot, I'm definitely buying!

Dax30 Call Options are now worth 3x more than what they were in the above post. Gold price (USD) appears to be retreating as expected.

Those GDAXI OTM Call Options Mar15 have risen 2 to 3 times in last 3 trading days... I probably wouldn't buy at these levels...

Not sure if I saw that forecast, but all banks are known for getting them wrong from time to time!
