volatile is right, low open interest, unmanned desks, and large MONEY OFFERS and Sells,
= HIGH swings like the nice 30 USD per day's we've been enjoying as of late.

TO ALL THE NOOBS - NOW IS THE TIME TO STAY OUT>
YOU WILL ONLY GIVE THE MARKET YOUR MONEY.

Thinking you KNOW how to "SCALP" is the EXACT way to let the market "fleece" you of ALL OF YOUR MONEY..

TRUST US,


You have NO IDEA how to scalp or "day trade" you WILL LOSE YOUR ENTIRE ACCOUNT.

But, by all means, don't listen and come back after you have dropped a couple / triple / quadruple GRAND and say, sh!t i shoulda learned the daily first.

Scalping or even "day trading" is strictly a "pro" game = NOT FOR NOOBS. Lower your leverage and lot size, make stops and TPs and learn from your mistakes trading after 6 months a LIVE MICRO ACCOUNT>

I have Z E R O sympathy for any newb that doesn't respect the volatility of Gold and how much faster AU or AG can wipe out your account on margin then even,
GBP/JPY ,

want to think you are smart? Try trading USD/MXN, instead of GOLD and tell me how it goes knowing your ass from your elbow.

------

This post is in Response to several Private messages I have received - asking about "longer term" trading as opposed to "scalping" as a noOB.

AND, In response to the LOW neg swap rate, ??? I mean come on? your long position should take that out of concern, if your are short then the swap is positive.

Also it's not like you are holding MONTHLY contracts short on Aussie or KIWI....

Good advice, my ass had been burned several times since I took up Gold trading, you thought you got it right, but ultimately will end up wrong.

Noob question: I noticed that most of the traders here has small and tight SL on Gold, is it a norm and the way to trade Gold?
The true fact is market doesn't care, risk mgt is important.

It is because most of those trade with tight SL are trades testing possible resistance and supports, so if the S/R is broken, the trades should not stand. Btw the market direction is still unclear, so if you wanna put some swing trades now, you are close to gambling (unless you know something others dont know, like inside info)...

If you are wrong, how much do you want to give away to the market? Tight stop on smaller accounts or use micro bets for bigger stops and less risk that way.

Hi all,
I suggest buying gold @ 1225.07 I feel strongly that the support would be London session's low.
Happy trading!

If gold is as weak as I see it is, then that is only the start of it. 1180 looks very real. Answer: I don't know.

It depends. Your SL needs to be super tight if you have a limit order at a major S/R, those tend to travel far after they are broken (which is why I never place limit orders on major S/R), never hope for miracles or use mechanical stops when it comes to trading gold, you will always take too long to cut your losses short, remember the first loss is the best loss.
"Where you want to be is always in control, never wishing, always trading.
