how much leverage are you using , what is standard for commodities. maybe we should all go high with 400 leverage

You cannot trade futures with 400 to 1 leverage.

Also this is a sure fire way for any one new to gold trading to "rinse" "wipe out" "blow up" an account.

New US guidelines for Retail FX is fifty to one.
80
Some large banks only trade with a max of 30:1

so why trade with anything more than 100? which is high.

Gold futures require more margin anyway, yet the spread is normally "a tick"/
not 50 cents.

1400 ALMOST HIT ON SPOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Silver is ON FIRE as well ! Platinum cooking towards 1800 - believe it or not but in 2008 it hit the high 800s.... So in 2 years you got 100% profit on a buy. NOT BAD!

Palladium is at all time highs!

Keep in mind when the Greenback rears its ugly head the metals will take a dive. For now BID BID BID AND BID THEM UPPPPP

Some offer 200 leverage, and maybe even 400 at iforex.com. but for now it is absolutely to risky to use high leverage.

I bought silver with only 6 leverage but at mine bank. I am more positive about silver than gold, maybe the ratio can go to 1:33. the banks does not offer higher leverage maybe max around 15.

But the problem is how to handle the stress .

no stress at all, if you are so brave for 200 or even 400, than risk, but don't forget to find a REAL salary job to start all from 0. Live will not end at all - that's how one of my friends says after he blown his acc (but at the day he lose, he called my crying like a child and drunk). Ugly story, but not mortal. So, have fun, life is a quest, keep your karma positive.
No crystal ball. I read the cards.

Silver's headed to 27.56, 30.25 possible before the end of the year....... 36.00 very top side

Gold 1444 possible 1690 by year end
I hear ya with the train north.
However, I will be watching curriences to help with identifing the turn around.
Just as last year, they told us nov. 29 and I sold around the the 2 or 3rd of dec. and posted that Id be buying where india bought there tons at 1040 area.
As the new yearly timeframe was underway, what I was using as silvers yearly pivot, (trend bias point) was 16.03 area.
I continued my heavier buying of physical from that point.
For some reason I find trading silver and gold easier and more relaxing than the curriences.
Im watching these 2 a little closer of late, day to day , good to hear from ya,why dont you stop by and help keep an eye on direction.

Do any of you guys trade off gartley patterns? The bearish butterfly is forming on the gold/dollar 4 HR chart:

eerily similar to the one that just completed on eur/usd.

Search for "korharmonics" in google for a free metatrader gartley indicator.

The right portion of the red "butterfly wings" has what is called a decision box at the end. This is the price range forecasted by the indicator. The box is your support/resistence area. And oftentimes like this one, price won't even make it to the lower end, it will just quickly collapse like it did on the euro before stabilizing. You have to be careful though and wait for the price to break before placing an order based on this logic, because the decision box can move up if there's a rally and basically redraws itself at a higher level. That is why I also will use a movinge average cross to filter out some of the noise (arrows), as well as a paid template made by one of the commercial threads on FF to measure mometum (not pictured).

Buying physical is much easier, buy on dips and HOLD! And sadly watch as it's an inflation hedge.

Correlating markets is spot on, (pardon the pun). Another forum, a while ago, I use to watch a guy trade using several different markets to time each other, it seems they are all inner-connected anymore.

I've been looking for a nice pullback to purchase some more silver mainly, still waiting, lol.

Have been very busy lately, but will try to make this thread more often.

I do use Gartleys on currencies.

However, I feel due to Gold being a "quasi-currency" AND a Commodity trading the "techs" doesn't always work out the way one may think.

Jobs reprt was better than expected. Yet we the QE2 is real and over expectations as well... We did just make a new high so there is the threat of some corrective weakness for the coming week.

Let's see!

Thanks for the post Blud!

Always good to lok at alternate viewpoints.

The uptrend is still ver much intact. Similarly to our last correction of $100 if we history repeats itself a $100 USD correction would merely bring the price down to 1300!!!!

Silver is COOKING And I would relish in the $30 Price point.

At the same rate I am looking to buy some physical.... SO I am actively looking for dips.

THe days of single digit silver may very well be over my friends...

Looks like the correction is slowing - may be time to reverse.

This is my desired level from last week to get long cable, and euro.

possible aussie buy in.

Gold pretty much untouched. This is a great barometer of the recent news.

I SUGGEST ALL GOLD AND SILVER BUYERS --- BUY SOMEONE YOU LOVE GOLD OR SILVER FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whatever your holiday or not is! There is ALWAYS a great gift in Gold!

My gifts this year for family are standardized. Across the board everyone will get some silver. Different types to suite the "Gift-ee" along with 2 two dollar notes. One for LUCK and one for emergency... I think the 2 USD note should be brought back.

YOu cannot get much for a dollar these days!!!

Oh and a nice pen for each...
