I'm currently bearish on Silver. After a solid day of consolidation yesterday, looks like we are in for a resumption of the downtrend. I am also holding onto a bunch of longs between 2985 and 3320 that I will offload in the weeks to come. I'll make some money on the way down first. What a day for profit taking yesterday though!
As expected the downtrend continues. My short @ 3090 partially closed @ 2990. Looking at the charts there is plenty of room to move lower. Immediately I'm thinking 2850 or even 2800 today.

I will use the 1hr/30m/15m charts to seek better prices to short more.

my short at 1630 at +22 pips profit.

moved stop to B.E.

taken half the position off. will let the other half run on....


my short at 1630, currently nicely sitting at + 40 pips profit.

need to decide whether or not to close it. thinking of moving stop to 1615 locking 15 pips profit and letting trade to run on until nearer the 1550 mark...

will decide before i go to bed.

It's pretty safe to let it ride, should go lower today. But why not have an each way bet, close half now and let the other half ride with the aforementioned stop loss.

hi

i have already closed have previously. so i have half left. originally was £10 per point (closed half at + 25). now £5 per point.

i think i will let the trade run on towards 1550. moving stop to 1615 to lock in 15 pips profit. will set a tp at 1570, whilst iam asleep if tp is hit then all fine. otherwise will monitor it tomorrow, and may move tp to 1550...

see ya all tomorrow

I'm Older & set in my ways although I still read & try to keep up with subjects that interest me.

Flipping Trades every 15 or 5 or 30 Minutes or 30 Secs no longer holds any desire or require for me.
As such, I (no offence to anyone intended) I'm outta Posting here for a while.
I'll still Scroll the New Posts but Long for 10P Or Exit Short for 15 Or Out at BE Or 20 P away from entry garner no real interest for me.

I'll still be cruzin for Smart Questions.

I think we'll see interesting moves across the London Session... I'm still wondering at what time it will drop. I think we could see something like happened yesterday. My point of view is based fundamentally... I hope tonight it works the same way it did yesterday.

So I'm looking at a good trading opportunity tonight stick around

we might see levels as high as 1629 today in the London session, but this is just another short opportunity, i think 1550 is underway.

I agree and trade the same way. Many that cime and gi think scalping will generate quick and consistent riches although it is the opposite.

The chances of loss are greater and usually will outstrip the gains eventually unless one is a seasoned scalper with an efficient style and trading large lot sizes.

Say 500,000 to 1,000,000 USD lots. Even then the pressure is far greater.

I thought I made an announcement a while back as follows:
(BTW) 3/4 of the people when I made the anncmt. were scalping and I'd say
95% of them no longer post.

If one is scalping - we know the reason so there isn't much to explain.
One reason for entry is acceptable but there is no need to write how many pips you made or that you were in the market for 5 minutes using the M1 and made a killing.

Also follow ups are not needed either. All it will do is clog up the thread with
in at 1600 out at 1610. no substance = therefore no use.

=============================================

Now if the market is extremely dead, I can understand and I too may scalp or rather just sit out waiting for a real entry shooting for a 50 to 300 USD move.
here is what we want to see fellas and gals.

I will check the rules and see if it is there. Otherwise it will be added now.

ADDED TO RULES:

].5 Concerning scalping. [/b][/b]Unnecessary to post in at 2000 out at 2001. If there is a great scalp and a great setupyou want to share, please do with backup. Otherwise save the scalping banter for when the market is dead or trading in an extremely tight range like 10 USD.

1665 eyes open also will be watching pa and candle formations between 1645-65 for clues to direction.
1524-34
will be keeping an eye on 1730-50 area as 1730 is the weekly pivot and for the past 2 weeks we have bounced south from the weekly pivot.
bounce down from daily trendguide or pivot 1665 was noted for wed.
thur seems tough to anticipate.
Been no testing of weekly pivot as we've had tested the past couple weeks, this weeks pivot is the 1730.
Keep in mind monthly pivot is 1757 so from my angle 1730-60 area is a significant area to consider as one would watching pa and candle formations for direction.
