Fair enough.....that's what your system says to you

Either way, it's no problem. The problem comes when you disobey your own rules, because then you may as well have no rules.

So far my rules have served me well, and that's ll I need to concern myself with.

Can I win every trade? Hell no. Can I win more than I lose.....most certainly, and that's all you, I and anyone has to do
for what's it worth I like your attitude!

Ok...we got the pivot bounce....the stochastic cross and rollover.....candles look ok......so I am in short from 17900. SL at 1798. First target is S1 (1759).
patience, not as of yet she is still working out direction as of last 5 min. Lets see what the next 3 5 min. candles do..

LOL........I said the link was the basics of the Andrews Pitchfork.....why do you repeat that? It wasn't posted for you specifically, it was posted for others who may like to know how pitchforks are drawn.....that's why it is the 'basics'

Yes, I have read about, and played with Schiffs and Modified Schiffs.....but as I have been saying.....drawing channels and bisecting them after the fact does not make valid forks....schiffs or not. Of course any time you'd like to ....ummm....enlighten me, please feel free to draw some forks etc...

Where have I not drawn a "valid" fork? I even mentioned in my post that it was an unmod schiff......

As could I. I have to stick to my rules, and I don't win every trade. Perhaps this one will stop me out. Perhaps that will cause you to be happy.

Really now? Think I'm in this game for some sort of "self-gratification", your stats, win/loose/profit/loss (while i'd want ya to profit) are largely irrelevant to me.

Was merely pointing out that your stop resides' in a very "popular" area.

I always look @ an hourly close @ such a decisive point, last 5 minutes can make or break a setup, seen that way too many times. So will wait for the hourly close and then decide. Brent is looking good and does in fact support XAU reversal.

ok folks , closed my long position for a profit of +20 pips.

so the actual trade was:

enter 1771.
tp 1791
sl 1741


yesterday i was going to close it early at + 15 pips. however it never got to +15 pips. so i left the trade open with a tp of 1791 and went to bed.

when i woke up about 15 mins ago, my tp had been reached and trade closed automatically. good for me !


also, i see a lot of childish chitter chatter going on in this thread. will everyone please stop arguing and grow up. concentrate on trading gold and how to make pips.


BTW, i see everyone is now jumping on the bandwagon of going short, something i predicted a few posts back. and everyone had put me down at that time for it. saying gold could not turn around and go down.. where are all the people that slated me and said i couldnt read charts dissapeared off too ?? are you people not gonna eat your words ? what happened ?

nuff said.

bring on the next trade.

i was trying to shut the chitter chatter up for good with my last statement. i.e. shut those people up for good that slated me so that they dont come back and argue with me again. thereby ending the matter, and stopping the chitter chatter, and further arguments.

won't happen. you do realize that at any rate there's gonna be 12 year old kids and old farts still trying to jump on you whatever you do. It's just the normal state of this thread, gotta get used to it. You can get upset with it or just ignore it. I think the second in the best option.

short is ON right now and adding below 1785. Brent met strong resistance below MP and met technical resistance @ 110. It's reversing and going down at the moment. This looks like a good sign for further downside on gold.

you are right. the overrall look is bearish.

but iam looking for a few pips on the upside. i have entered a small buy at 1787. will probably close at +10 pips.

although at the moment there seems to be nothing doing, it appears to have reached a stalemate for now. if the stalemate continues then i will close the position early with whatever pips i have at the time.

hardly much movement today. no point in hanging on to a trade if its ranging....

My short got stopped at BE. That's ok.....I have other trades running on other pairs and this one was using too much attention, so a BE result is ok. I'll have another look at this pair tomorrow (NZ time).

BRENT is making a run for it, below MP and rejected @ tech confluence. I'd say not long before XAU should proceed with it's descent to 1750.
