H4 is in downtrend while D1 is still in uptrend.

H4 upsloping Andrew's Picthfork had a second and third test to warning line.

I try new median lines when a (LL-HH-LL) or (HH-LL-HH) combination is made in the time frame. In this case a H4 upsloping Mod Schiff shows price reaction at it's ML and then price went south.

My trading decisions are based on supply and demand zones, but I like to look for confluence with trendlines and pitchforks.

Been on break, Hopefully this thread has been upheld by the members that care. You know who you are.

I have been alerted of a possible new "troll" and will begin readback now. Hopefully this is not the case.
Thanks,
XT-

BTW if she can't crack 1230 we go back up. 1240 is limbo zone.

{quote} {image} Price just fell thru a channel. I will be careful of buying retracement. Also, the moving averages are heading down.
Still stuck in 19. no big deal here on silver, gold and platinum got hit harder this week, At least we have a nice 30 USD trading appx range now.

for AU that is.

PLEASE INCLUDE TIME FRAMES ON YOUR CHARTS - THis is not a guessing game.

Discussing MAs on different TFs varies GREATLY.

Give me a $%^&ing break...........

That's the best you could do? Bubble? Well from a trader of years it seems that bubble burst YEARS ago when we fell from 1920 to 1180.

You obviously have NO CLEAR UNDERSTANDING of WHAT GOLD IS - why it is traded, it's valuation system, fundamentals or rather anything else related.

And NO thanks "I will not web search anything" I think I know enough at this point not to be dissuaded by idiotic comments like yours.

HAVE A NICE DAY!

Bears aren't doing much, the fall last week was all on news.

Likewise for a trader, these are great swings, shit , 30 USD moves in a day are KEY!

And again, bulls, while leading the CFTC data have the "mass spec" position, aren't doing to much either besides supporting the lows.

The metal will pass 2k. Give it time, and that's from an "investor" standpoint, not as a trader.

{quote} I can post a few screenshots to prove that 1280 was not touched. In some cases it returned from 1278 & in one case 1279. My 2 shorts have not been stopped yet, is that a big deal? I may get stopped later or tomorrow, time will tell. On the other hand if it falls down to 125x range I am thinking of opening two more shorts, your advise would be appreciated. My apologies if I sounded like a spoiled brat in any of my post earlier. I really wish to learn & make some serious money.
Sure, you always get one chance to get out of a bad position. You had that, (@ retest of your short from 1250 appx) now, if you stuck to your guns may be in about a 5 USD move of profit, not much considering you were risking a 30 USD move on a stop to make AN ????? untold profit, i suppose you were just hoping the metal would tank,
that's not how gold works. You need to do some more fundamental research.

And YEAH if I was A BUCK away from being stopped out on a 30USD move, I would be worried a bit.

Get your risk reward and your leverage in line as well.

Just my advice as you asked. You want to learn how to exploit this metal's moves via paper trading take my advice,
LEARN THE HIGHER TIME FRAMES FIRST. LOWER YOUR LEVERAGE TO MAX 50:1 and TRADE MICROS, DO NOT SCALP, or DAY TRADE.
LOOK TO STay in trades for a minimum of 3 days, to a FULL week. Then when you have that down read more, watch charts, not trade them, watch them,
read, read, read, learn the economic calender, who are the major producers, start a futures demo, etc......

Hope it helps.
Luck to you,
XT-

XT Sir, what are the news which caused the bearish move? USD news are rather mixed, but bad numbers in increased unemployment claims.
The true fact is market doesn't care, risk mgt is important.

FOMC specs and positions tanked it. Yet, it still has not gone through 1235 or 1230, 1250 may become resistance,

It's really to be honest a bunch of bullshit that the US GOVMT spews out.

Here take a look and read the side line news report headlines on the RIGHT LOWER SIDE.

This doesn't mean that gold will tank down to 1180, it's just another "day trading" news and fear and all that good stuff has a more profound impact on gold than technical analysis,

TA is useful when there is NO NEWS or other such factors to trade.

Take a look......

Positive consumer confidence as well.. at 10 am EST.

Tapering continued, ------------- QE 1 was massively bullish for gold. As was 2,
in theory 3 should have been, yet this is when the FED announced the possibility of "tapering" off the program.

Although in the END all it will likely do is create MASSIVE INFLATION - more so than it already has, it will take YEARS to end this program,
as it disintegrates and the FED borrows more money it cannot ever pay back, they print more cash - in turn directly creating inflation which is POSITIVE for a
store of real money or WEALTH like GOLD.

It's complex and confusing at first. All these markets are interrelated - The DOW at 15k plus is due for a massive correction soon, just wait.
Again, this will be gold positive, which the DOw / SP have been taking away large cap spec money from gold - in turn creating a technical range,

Great analysis. Certainly a consolidation period. Did you notice the double bottom around 1183.5 average (1180 & 1187 lows) on the weekly and daily?

For the "techs" look at some of my recent weeklies. There is massive support trendline wise going higher, if the price tests it, going south, yet, as of now we remain in a range with a slight new northbound trend emerging ---- as well as a discounted price for all the physical buyers.

This is reallllllll.

The major DTLs which were too steep to maintain long term in the first place are almost all gone for both gold and silver. 1 and 1 left.

The MAJOR OVER AND UNDERLYING trend REMAINS UP.
