actually, looking at H1 candles now, if i see one engulfing bearish bar i will short. mkt might be waiting for adp as well, so if it sells off fast after adp i will short too.

....We saw Silver's run to $50, and the drop, it was quick, that is one factor gold's market is very cautious ....

Some price levels for thought.. 1660s-1670s Venus support. Nearest venus resistance is around 1740-1750s 45 degrees from initial support. I am bullish on the AUD and gold.

Below 1660s and 1670s are the 1610-1620s levels.

Attached are the various charts to support some sort of "United Move up".


AUDJPY
85 saturn + mars support next resistance 45 deg. is 90.

Long term 360 Degrees Resistance from the major low on gold at $1520s...

is $2000.
therefore Xtrade's argument for his outlook is totally viable under my analysis as well. .

As long as $1520s hold - Gold should go towards 2000. If it does blow it - it may go to $1410 for a full 360 degrees support since the $1920 high.

But since gold is in an uptrend and 1520 and its whereabouts have been defended - i think its on its way up to the 360 at 2000. Red shows the bearish path, and Yellow shows the bullish path.

It is, yet the longer the space from the initial break down usually the less power the next break has, as sentiment and speculation begin to change,

Also Gold shorts don't want to be on the ride unless it;s going to happen.

A 10 USD move here and there is not what I mean.

Besides the chart just jumped 8 bucks up.

The risk of another downside swing is still there. If she breaks 1694 today it will open the door for 1770 in very near future

Are you scalping? that is an extremely tight stop for either direction asking for the market to wipe it out then move kindly along with your money.

Not scalping, it would have been a good one. Thought resistance would hold.
Now out at BE. Totally agree with you.

If I can give you a bit of personal advice from experience, you just wasted a trade.

BE is useless and a sure fire way to cut your win rate in HALF.

Trading is risk, the key is to not risk to much or "bet the farm" on every trade.

Sure you win big, but when you lose it will be the end of your account.

----------------------------------------

BACK TO BE.

Putting a trade at break even is basically saying to yourself "ok I have accepted the risk of taking a trade, but not really because I am not willing to lose.

The market almost 100% of the time will come back to average (which are NOT BAD) entries, before moving in its decided direction.Thus, you will be taken out every time at BE and never make any money.

You have to accept loss to be able to win. All BE does is PREVENT BOTH winning and losing.

If the trade you are taking is not good enough that you feel that you need to move your stop (think about the words stop loss- they are intended to stop a loss that could get out of control with no stop) to BE than you should
A. NOT take the trade.
B. Wait for a better entry which offers more favorable risk reward.

Just my two cents.

Yeap! I think now I'm gonna move SL to 1672 to protect open position. Target is still the same 1715. For SILVER I have 35.45. Where do you think gold will end up if Greece doesn't get required participation rate?

oh yeah forgot to mention sivler levels...
33 is current Venus and Pluto support... and 36 is the next resistance.

so any longs i think that is the next target and "watch level" as well.




hey X about "BE" it goes back to the topic of the trading memes of "not giving substantial profit to become substantial loss"

lelts say u got a $100 USD long on Gold btu ur target is around $150 USD (nice one X! ) and then u dont use a BE stop or a +1 or similar techniques. what if the market spikes back and clips $90 USD and u only got $10 USD left in the long? what im saying is that sometimes the market doesnt do what we expect or analyze it to do therefore if we do make a profit aren't we obliged to protect it?

Say u would put a profit stop loss of $30 USD. You are risking profit - i agree that u cant win if u cant risk, but u are risking profit when u move stops to BE or BE+1. in a way i believe one must protect profit even if it means coming back after 1000 pips profit back to ur +1 stop. (of course it would tick u off lol but its much better for ur capital as well for protection correct?)

one thing i do believe is done wrong (in my opinion) is going to BE or BE+1 too fast. market volatility needs to be respected to be able to also respect ur BE stop loss

Hi, bumapatria,
It is my understanding that the decision to move or not to move SL to BE should be made before entering the trade.

Honestly this whole Greece thing is a never ending saga. Eventually Germany will bend for the greater good of the Euro and it should resolve itself.

I am beginning to feel it's relation to gold is waning.
It's like the boy who cried wolf except for six months.

Then again, if Greece really fvcks up and get's the boot who knows. I highly doubt the likelihood of that happening.

regarding BE, my experience is that if price moves up more than the 10 wk avg range, move your stop up to BE or BE +1... just my rule of thumb.
