Yesterday I was stopped out... twice, and then I couldn't trade anymore because of intermittent internet connection. Maybe it was for the best.

First time, when price went down 9,50$, I managed to go long @ 1782 TP 1795 SL 1775. Nice! I saw price rejection at resistance, but I said to myself "Bernanke will do the job and price will raise... Take it eeeaaasyyyy!" Yeah, right!

Someone said "Trade what you see, not what you think/believe/expect"

Well, I didn't.

And I can't say I didn't notice it.

Quoting nim1984
sold all 3 positions(entered @ 67,73,77) @ 1783.5. target was 1794 but didn't really like the recent price action as we saw resistance at 1786, so got out.
I saw it too, but I believed Bernanke was going to do the job.

Second time, long @ 1770 TP 1800 SL 1760. Good RR!. Stopped out just like that!

After internet issues, I could finally go long @ 1697 TP 1724, just below daily pivot. Then I went to sleep. I have to say it worked out very nicely for me. I recovered my losses, and didn't trade for revenge.


fxbreeze, I'm a noob, and I'm still learning basics, so I'm not a good example to follow.
I just make a lot of noise because I express my thoughts out loud so I can be corrected.

That's the way to learn =) Shows a lot of humility if you are willing to be corrected. I'm a novice myself

Mr. Jsr,

I understand. Well, it took numerous falls, bruises to learn the business.

Trade safe.

It's not a thrust out of triangle. but we should test/brake yesterday's low by 11.30 am EST. only then it may be a good chance to buy

Silver needs to drop further, along with gold, silver more, gold less.
The price holds little charm at the moment, specially of Silver.

Found that this drop from 1790s completed a channel. (in red)

Weeks ago i read somewhere that range 1650-1900 is expected for first 6 months of the year.

In fact many analist are expecting price to go south today.

FXCM call is this:

Don't trust those call so easily.

If can be trusted, anyone can take their call and be rich, and why you are here.

Analyse the chart.

We are here to learn.

No mean to be rude.

That's ok, breeze.

In fact, I'm not trading yet.

I'm waiting. Need to see what will happen.

btw... If Bernanke is going to speak, I won't bet again.

Hi everyone, I've opened a couple of short positions from 1,720.83 SL 1,730.00 1st Target 1,706.50 and 2nd Target 1,680.00. Price seems to be finding some resistance off daily Pivot and 38.2 Fib. Will see how this goes. Chart H4
What did you base those decisions on fuse? fibonacci retracement?

kill56,

As far I can see from H4 chart, it may not bypass 1725 zone.

Food for thought: If buyers exhausted and sellers drown them, we may see 1680 zone.

I will just sit sideline, and watch.

Thank you.

Yep fib retrace, pivot, the candlesticks etc. I have a system that I use to get me into trades. My first target has been hit at 1,706.50. But since then price has retraced quite alot all the way back to daily pivot. I'm still holding this trade with SL at 1,730.00, but looking at a current chart, price could easily break above daily pivot and would then take my SL out. I will wait and see. Thanks for asking
