{quote} Don't read too much into Crimea's news...it costs me 50% of my account when I long from 1375 and keep adding position until 1360. hit my stop loss at 1340. Yes, in long term the big picture most people will agree that gold price will go up. But maybe not now... in any case, if you are a long term trader and have a big margin for drawdown, longing now is not a bad idea. Make sure you put your stop loss further away (e.g. at 1270 or something) Goodluck! Cheers
Yeah, this is trap news...
Lose almost 50% of my account because this news.

Like what everyone said.

{quote} Damn you are right. I am reading too much about Crimea news. I have stop loss at 1300 & purchase at 1312.
I don't know what leverage you use or the margin level you can take.
But if you trade in small position, don't stop at 1300 because price will quite likely go up from there and that will make you feel TERRIBLE. (happens to me a lot of time in the past).
The key secret about training is about margin/leverage. I used to initiate my position with 1:30 or 1:50. That is not good because a few losing trades will wipe out my account.
Now I open with 1:5 leverage. If in a losing position but I believe price will go my way, I add to 1:10. That is the maximum.

Wish you luck!

Cheers

{quote} Yeah, it is boring playing real account. In demo account. After making decision, you can sleep/eat. No hard feeling. Altough, you failed... You can control your logic decision. In real account. you can't leave it, after you make decision. And, if your decision is wrong... it will ruin your logic decision. And letting emotion control you. What is HH and HL? Does it mean Stop Loss and Take Profit?
yeah.. it all goes wrong when you know too much and do very little. besides emotional intelligence is a pre requisite, i guess there will be some books. also to trade well, it should be more fun than just buying/selling and watching losses turning into margin calls and winning making you a bank.. HH = higher high .. HL = higher low..

300 SMA, 360 EMA on 4 hour, Price inside of daily Bollinger. Not suggesting anything, but that could be some possibility for long.

yeah the SMA 300 for 4H here is at 1302. price can go both ways though...I am short. See what happens. If it goes above 1320 with high volume, I will close short and open long

so many forcasts and analysis were saying if it breaks 1319.. gold will enter downtrend and continue falling to 1280 may be. but i am observing now in this thread that it is getting ready to bounce back from here to 1420. Here almost all are experienced traders so i got a little confused.
Is gold still in uptrend? i m on sidelines waiting for buy rally because of having very low equity. Nitsan or can anybody guide me plz? well i really like ClockTrader's Daily Clock Band. it works..

A failure to overcome $1315.61 could encourage another round of selling pressure. This could trigger a move into the $1300.70 to $1297.47 area.
