Gold should be rising. This is odd.....

When these dips cool off I'm in. ...
Me too. My Buy Limit shows on this pic.
Buy Stop Twice the amount I am IN Already. Yeah Yeah. I'm the guy that says CLOSE beyond = Proof & I bought before it closed.
Look where I am at now.

Wooaaaahhh Big Fella.... Ain't that a little Risky?
Only if you Dive into your opening Trade with Max Lots allowed. I never do. I always send out a Scout.

But I won't panic.

If my Buy stop triggers & I happen to be correct on this Trade, I have only exposed 30% of the Total of what I am willing to Risk on it.

I'm a Term Trader. I (mostly) always check for Nibbles before I look for Bites.
Nibbling costs me less cargo.

with drop from daily pivot 1764 and breakout of daily lows (1734), will be looking at response of retest 1734 area.
Bias is down from daily pivot 1742 and eyes will be extra open to price action and candle formations on the 5 min. at daily lows area 1699 for rotation back to daily pivot or thurs breakout 1734.

Cool: we are reasonably close but I don't know why.
Politely asking that you Post a Chart showing your S/R Pivots with a link to the Indi Download.

Please.

Turn Auto Scroll OFF.
Grab & Drag the tiny Red Triangle just above the "Date Time" scale and way on the Left of your screen.
Drag it to Your Pont of Intrest.
Hit the + key.
Try it out.

I dont know how to post my chart and theres nothing on them just a bare chart.
If I did have or was able to I would have an overlay of daily , weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly highs ,pivot and lows as I would have extra interest by these levels and would be watching candle formations around those areas. All along keeping in mind the stronger timeframe and where we are at within the cycles. However I pretty much remember the timeframe levels. (see jessie livermore,memoirs stock operator paying attention to price)
Also maybe a glance at the 4hr.
What is indi download ?

Hey Lilpip,

Perhaps Bemac is clear with that explanation, but it would be extremely helpful if you learned to post a chart (SnagIt is an excellent program I would recommend that you can try out for free) so we can clearly see from where you derive your numbers. Perhaps there are other freeware programs. Basically you can capture a selection of your chart.

Even taking the time to clearly explain what each number is that you list would be helpful for me. I have read books and generally understand your terminology, but I'm not 100% clear without being able to visualize how you are using these terms.

Taking the time to explain your methods once would make a world of difference. For example, when you start with daily pivot at 1764, then refer to daily pivot at 1742, I'm not clear.

Indi refers to an indicator, I believe. He is asking you to upload your indicator, if you are using one to derive your numbers. Correct me if I'm wrong, Bemac.

Best case scenario, you can post a chart/charts with little arrows and notes that show where you get your numbers.

Cheers

As posted previously,I use the floor traders pivot using the h/l/close of last 3 timeframes except on the daily I use 5 days also.
As time moves forward we have a new h/l/close so thurs.pivot or trend guide was 1764, fri. is 1742.
The weekly timeframes trend guide or pivot is 1742 also which forms a good resistance so bias is down from their. However we will watch the candle formations on the 5 min. to verify yesterdays (daily low break area 1734 -42 area resistance and fri. daily lows 1699 area support).
No indicators as they lag and tell me what I already see although I would have them used to program an ea in automated trading.

if you Fib from nov1 to nov7- gold today has touched the 75% line to the point, which has been a pretty reliable pattern for bottoms when it touches the line twice or three times which such accuracy. I anticipate some consolidation between 1750 and 1725 for the next few days before regaining some strength. Also, stochastic is moving quickly into the oversold area and the 4hr has already turned up.

In truth though, it does not really matter what any of us here THINK about which direction it will go, the only opinion would be the 1% of people who actually move these markets so all we can go by is what is on the charts.

If gold is again resuming an uptrend, look for 1741 in the near term. pullback to 1725-1731 and then off to 1754-60. 1770 should be in our sights by this time next week or sooner. Of course, and this goes without saying... this could all change with a big move either way by the 1%.
