Personally I am keeping some dry powder - as always, as I like buying hard on the bigger dips... lower leverage, deep SL's and long term trades...

But I am wondering about placing a short at this point, with a SL up at 1750's , and TP down by the 1600 mark, usually I trade longer timeframe, and go long and buy on the dips but recently I have been taking smaller scalps both long and shorts.

Plus am already in on one short from 1678, wondering if I should just TP now or at the 1650 mark or hold out, sl is 1745 and then just wait and see.
same style for me goldman
Life's a bitch....so be a dog and cover it!

Where do you think they will run to ? 1678

I'm working with strict stop loss technique
I'm using 0.05 lot size with 10$ loss
and after 2 weeks and 44 orders my standing is
21 order closed with loss overall loss -260
23 order closed with overall profit +338

so what I can conclude is i'm not able to put proper TP point and
it happens most of the time that my profit trades are turning into loss trades because of strict 10$ loss decision.

how can I save my profit orders and instead of booking loss, booking some minor profit ?


any suggestion

Nice charts... yep guess wait and see... I have now closed my scalps long and short, though am looking for another entry point to go short down to $1600 though we will have to wait and see... still looking for $1600 (+/-) to go hard long... $1535 or thereabouts and I am all in for the run up to $2000 , now waiting.


Happy trading.

Gold is squeezed today between resistacne & support, above 1639/40 is toward 1651/52, break is to 1668/69 then 1683/84, while below 1634/35 is toward 1614/15 then 1603/04 and possibly all the way toward 1580/81. THIS IS WHAT I WAS EXPECTING UPSIDE WAS EXACTLY 1684 BUT DOWNSIDE DID NOT WORK OUT.

Hey guyz

Gold is making a base here either to drop or rise (lol we all know that)

I sense there would be a false move in either direction and then the real move in opposite direction may come . anyway its channel doesn't show much.

Immediate trend is bearish on hourly basis

if you mean the next meeting, that is for 2nd of november (it is actually a 2 day meeting but any decisions will be released to the public on the 2nd)

i doubt people are waiting for that as it is still kinda far though

that's my personal opinion
