Yep, gold is taking a right bath. This is gold (line) and AU (candlesticks) daily chart. Although I always keep my eye on gold, it's good to remember that they don't always move in sync (as circled). The US$ is rising from the ashes. Let's see how ...

Not looking too good for longs. We are obviously below daily and weekly pivots. S3 is at 0.9081 and 200 SMA at 0.9088 (4 hour chart) with monthly pivot 0.9010. Average weekly range for last year was around 300 pips. We've done 176 pips so far this ...

Hedge Fund Returns — I just did a quick google to see if I could find some information about Hedge Fund returns and I stumbled across this dated pdf file. Here are the returns of various hedge funds for 2005 and 2006. The best return for 2006 ...

I think the moral of the story is that everybody likes to announce their profits but all goes quiet if there are losses incurred. Do you hear "I lost 50% of my equity today?" Puks was right in saying that newer traders will think that these kinds of ...

Yep, could do, 4 hour looks a bit stretched and we are at an important area. Thanks for your comments Puks. Haven't touched AU, just nursing my bleeding AJ's image

Too true Puks. This is starting to sound like the EUR thread where everyone is a gazillionaire image

Ya know what? Jade was just being nice to me And question for Tradoholic. I thought when you got a margin call your account was kaput. Do you get a certain amount of time to put more funds in the account? You like living on the edge aye ...

I'm happy if my accounts are in the positive at the end of the week. 1% per week consistently and I'd probably be even happier

Yep, that's probably it as well. I don't pay a lot of attention to the Kiwi although I am surprised at how well it has held up. I'm originally from NZ and it's such a small part of the world. I do get a report emailed to me from one of the banks ...

I've got Daily Pivot R1 at 0.9289. Nice hit to S1 early on today then rammed through weekly pivot, rammed through daily, re-tested and then carried on up. Stalling at the moment though but that's probably because it's nearly done it's average daily ...

If you have MT4 there is an indicator called "average true range" that you can input onto your chart. I also forgot to say that the sentiment index can't anticipate unexpected announcements/news releases etc that happen during the day. It only shows ...

Nice post GeppyG. Wish I had discovered information like this when I first started trading. Had to learn the hard way. Tradoholic - FXCM has 61% of traders short on AUD. 55% short on NZD. 79% short on CAD. 67% short on JPY. 69% short on GBP. The ...

Or .... move to a non-US based broker? Not an option? I agree. 50:1 is fine and 25:1 is doable. I've never traded over 100:1 anyway and am glad that I never went down the 400:1 / 500:1 road to start with but I don't trade for a living and I imagine ...

He, he - hopefully it won't come to that. If I disappear for a long period of time you'll know that I'm trying to stem the haemorrhaging especially if the CTFC implement the 10:1 leverage

I guess I was thinking that if the US$ was gonna do another leg higher then the Yen would weaken accordingly but I didn't account for risk aversion leading to a stronger Yen today. I'm still a newbie to this cross so not hugely familiar with it's ...

Hey Eg - Am I the only one not making any money today? Just got back home to see my long A/J positions still sucking badly - lol. Looks like the only money I'll be collecting today is the rollover. You keep on raking in those pips Nice ...

OMG, nice one Tradoholic. I've never had one of those days. Beers on you then

Hey thanks for the chart Yeah, the thread was a tad busy last night. I still need to look into Wolfe Wave in more depth. My understanding is limited. Funny to see Cable still holding it's own while EUR is getting spanked. No doubt you are ...
