To all my seniors, thank you for replying to the blunder which i did.

Many of you are asking that i did no calculation and my trades are opened from 2145 price.

So i have been watching forex for 2 years and concluded that gold was in a range of 1800 till 2100 for very very long. when it crossed that price of 2150 then it started going up slowly and gradually and i started doing dca upto 0.6 lots in total which was still under control and i was hoping as per history that it won't go more then 100 max and even after israel-palestine war started 1 year ago price moved from 1800 till 2250 .. and as per history of wars price didnt move 900 dollars but 300 dollars or somethhing max... so based on that calculation i decided to hold... and if u see there is a gap between my DCA .... from 2150 - 2276 i opened 0.06 lots in total... then i waited but price kept rising and falling in middle of 2350 and 2470 range ... i kept waiting and then sudden jump of price after that which crossed directly and reached 2680 in very quick time... this is where i was shattered... u all know very well that in recent decades .. gold never did such rise of 900 dollars...

i am still thinking to cut 0.08 lots out of 0.14 lots ... i will loose around $1100 by cutting those lots... but then my remaining lots of 0.6 will be from 2145 till 2276

by doing this my liquidation will be around $2930 ... advice required by seniors either to take 100% loss from this very stage of gold price which is considered to be almost the last leg before going down massive... or to reduce some lot size to extend liquidation to towards $2930 and hope for gold to retrace around $2400 to recover atleast something

these are my 2 phases of trade going on .. i was hoping that price will retrace towards 2550 so that i will close phase-2 trades so that my liquidation will be above $3000 and meanwhile i will try do scalp and reduce my losses.

but unfortunate price went up again

try with EURGBB, AUDNZD, AUDCAD and NZDCAD. your trading style will be balanced with these pair. GOLD and JPY when it takes trend it just keep go in one direction. today if gold cannot cross 2680~2700 you might able to close your trade with profit. who knows. i really hope you will able to close your trade with profit. best of luck.

{quote} Was in the exact same situation 3 months ago losing over £12000 from trading gold. All in a single day to make things worse. Opened a short position and once it started going against me, I decided to carry on doubling down and opening more positions. There was no reversal on sight that day as gold just carried on plummeting the whole day. I used to trade without a stop-loss also. Decided to take a couple of weeks off just to get myself together and then funded my trading account with just £16 to play around with. From that £16, I have managed...
16 to 7K! this is insane. you should have withdraw your initial investment at least

@tintin2014

I hope you now understand that i was not blindly opening my trades. my 2nd phase of trades had enough gap before i started DCA but unfortunate that gold broke all past stats in terms of rising in last recent decade. Was never expecting that much.. Many experts were telling that gold will retrace a bit before going towards 2800 if it will go. So i was having that perception in my mind too that if gold will retrace towards 2500 so i could close all my phase-2 trades and even few from phase-1 too with loss of around $700- $800 so that my open trade lot would reduce to just 0.04 and liquidation price will extend to $3500

{quote} It's generally a good idea to recommend that traders use stop-losses and really stick to them. You need to identify your invalidation zone, which is where your analysis starts to fall apart and chose your sl base on that . The problem is when you stumble upon a YouTube video suggesting you skip stop-losses; it’s easy to overlook the nuances and tricks that come with experience in this approach . Overall, I believe most traders, especially beginners, should definitely set up a stop-loss. But honestly, even those who do have them often ignore...
i don’t really get the argument against stop losses.. you can always re enter ! No one, no matter how good your analysis is ever knows with 100% certainty where the price is going in the short / medium term. Unless you have a seriously large account, £m’s and are essentially investing with margin, I would take some serious convincing that it’s a “valid strategy” not to use them.

2550 is still on the table if it doesn’t breakout higher.

30 min chart. i haven't taken any trade yet. i will wait for LONDON-NY session. let the price become a bit stable. however if the price breaks 2620~23 zone. we may see below 2600 this week. but momentum is still bullish.
