clearly asia has no interest in selling gold and LDN will tell the tale.

even if I am stopped put I am looking for the next high to be around 1275

next 1300 with possible dip between.

This was a good trade, I took it as well.

Let the other one stop out for small loss, made back positive here a nice 1000 pip move. I just took profit - looking for a dip and waiting for asia to come on line.

For tonight, I would like to see 1235 taken in the immediate sense,
otherwise in a bearish scenario, breach and hold on 1229 area and 1224 area may suggest correction from recent high first testing 1221 and possible 1209.

We had a nice afternoon uptrend going, then after market switch the minor tl was passed through. May be best to sit out at the moment Until things heat up a bit.

That is if not in a position already in profit.

* edit: closed last position almost at BE looking for better entry. ( Have to run out for a minute) Looks like we are going down a bit.

I expect buyers to re-enter on supports. Use your discretion.

Going to read some news.

Gold testing the current corrective line, breach here (rightback around 1231.50) should suggest further upmove, however 1235 is still necessary to take out in the immediate.

Gold regained some footing on Thursday after falling the previous day on comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke that the metal was sending a different signal in response to inflation.

Here we Go!!!

Posting experimental chart in a minute in this post please refresh to view

Edit:

Chart attached. Just some experimental TA I was playing with earlier.
Since the last high gold has been correcting off the red line, yet from the last dip to 1197 area there are supports as well as this afternoon's bounce to help form the lower tl.

All drawn on H1. Please keep in mind this is shorter term TA for price action analysis. (not daily / weekly)

These lines formed a somewhat symmetrical triangle, with the break candle forming outside the downtrend line. There is a possibility of retest of said line. If the retest is does not allow breach I will consider this a valid break and look to take 1235 next.

Asia can be tricky, where potential breaks often turn into range.

Hi, Auther, I am curious what is the leverage you are using? I don't know about you guys, but for me as a rookie (just 8 months experience) I can't play this game with more than 1:30.. I am on real account not demo..Cheers to all!

gOLD can be extremely devastating to an account as well as rewarding.
Due to the nature of the price action. $25 (2500) pip moves are not uncommon in a day.

If you are live and want exposure I suggest using 1:100 standard leverage however, decreasing your lot size to micros. Be that 1 micro lot if that is what suits you. For instance 1000 pip move would net you $10 - if it was a loss - well that's quite sustainable.

Gold "Profit-Taking Reflex" Continues as Dollar Slips, S&P Says Greek Default "Not Inevitable"

Gold slipped for the second session running in London on Thursday, dropping 2.5% from Tuesday's new record highs as European stock markets held flat but the US Dollar also ticked lower on the currency market.

The Bank of England and European Central Bank both voted to keep interest rates on hold, sticking since spring 2009 at 0.5% and 1.0% respectively.

Gold priced in Sterling and Euros rallied from 3-session lows Thursday lunchtime, bouncing higher from £835 per ounce and €32,500 per kilo.

"Gold is undergoing a reflexive movement," says...

Auther it seems to me there is already a short in play,
Gold is still struggling with that downtrend line from 1250 - I posted a chart with it in it for reference.

Be careful though. When the price gets a bit lower there may be some explosive longs coming into play.

Good luck,
