Euro nd Cable hitting some range resistance.

If aussie has in fact established a floor we may be in for a nice rise.

Also look at this kiwi range! If it breaks north watch out.

FIFO on all trades.
NO same pair "Hedging"
NO LEVERAGE ON GOLD AND SILVER
NO SERVICE TO US RESIDENTS BY non US BROKERS.

Some brokers all together ERASED XAU/XAG from US accounts.

Yeah...that is interesting.

My understanding is the dodd frank bill killed it....margins requirements....no leverage in USA...what else...anybody add to that?

been watching it since it was a baby, the most important thing here will be -
A. If it pans out the size or measure from the head to the broken neck.
B. If IT pans out!

sometimes they get a bit too screwy for TA I give up on them and consider them invalid.

On the daily.....looks like we might have a huge inverse head and shoulders if it goes down to about 1600 next few days??

Anyone see that too?

She will. Be patient. Silver is more of a roller coaster ride than gold.

Now is a good time to buy physical silver as well.

Been looking into trading gold for a while, when it tanks it tends to move alot, fast. Looking at the charts for the past few months it seems to adhere well to breaking out and making a high or low, pulling back making a higher low/lower high then continuing on its direction, hmm.

I think we need another big money position trading demo for this thread.
That was FUN!

Cause DAMN silver ain't moving and Gold seems to be on a slow rise.

I figured this demo was more realistic to what actual people on this forum may take as far as trading lot size - ie: minis and micros......

I traded Asia/London last night, half while I was sleeping.

I closed out some nice entries and I am a bit pissed at myself for doing so.
They were supposed to be position trades, but I don't fully trust market direction yet.

All trades are against the USD. And the market seems to be ranging,

Yet this morning now after bobbing up and down, I got my breakout on cable and things like Kiwi and Aud are still up.

Euro seems a bit still stuck as with swissy, they both need to break.

I really want to start trading now, yet don't like putting on positions, before the US market signs on and US stox open.

Maybe if there is an opp I will enter.

Time to read or go back to sleep for an hour.

Oh, made back loss from earlier in day and account is in profit.

I am day trading so yes.

I want to be position trading but I am waiting for some decisive breaks which seem to be coming.

be aware of Unemployment claims at 8:30.

I just posted my analysis here in my other

"50 pips" thread

What I do is take the same trades every day, I try to sell the tops and buy back after correction. It adds more risk, but when the market is ranging and good for day trading as it has been it is sometimes easier than worrying if the 100 pips you made in NY will be gone by london,

This way the profit is booked each day. Or loss, or loss makeup.

right now I am in profit and thus not complaining.

Gold and Silver trades are on a different account and those are not closed.

They are very similar to what is on the demo up top.
