Sma100 and sma300 are around this area too..if it forms a long upward tailed bar, we can quite safely add short..maybe

I would say...but i usually would't short when Pa is above 50 ema; i would rather take profits off my long and wait for the lower trendline for a buy..but thats just me.

Don't know bro, usually the NY session follows up on the trend, I would wait with the short.

The news sounds bad....whenever there is panic stay in gold! Yes I would only short when the lower trendline gets broken...

60% of your account..was this in the end of feb; the gap up on the daily chart?

No, it was when gold went up to 1388x...i put a buy limit thinking it will retrace and up at 1374...keep adding buy all the way to 1360...till a quite high leverage...saved the remaining 40% of my account by closing long at 1340...bloody painful...The problem with news is, all these writers can write and make it sounds logical AFTER the price move..For example, had the gold price went up last time, they'll say "investors holding gold amid tension in ukraine blablabla"...Had it went down they'll say "gold price drops as tension ease"...Then I decided not to trust the bull**** they sell anymore

Have you closed all of your longs from the 137x area already?

hmm.. 40% is a lot on a particular trade...2 to 5% rule is reasonable!

And yes you are right about how newsmakers change their opinion...news/opinions is a lagging indicator but news about action/riots/war should be taken seriously...! take it from nature it only takes a little predator to get an entire stampede started...

Of course, closed at 1340...otherwise I would have blown up my account at 132x...Lesson: do not be too fickle nor persistent when holding a position

For more bullish, the good Sup is around 1307-1311, consolidate there. We could see the run +25$ a day.

That's true..if a war breakouts no one will try to hold their short...hahaYes, on normal trade i risk max 5% of account per position...always start with leverage around 1:5...sometimes add to my loss a bit..but not much
