    Sold early and feared of riding profit into loss

    I'm also trying to adapt my trading style to one similar to livermoores - i'm trying to cut my losers as fast as possible and hold winning positions while adding to them. The problem i've been having is adding to my winners, and the whole psychological aspect of really only winning on about 40%...

    Daily Trading Strategies on Gold/Forex

    Long Position closed out at 648.3....The resistance at 650 - 655 seems pretty strong, not to mention how weak the euro is trading (its not bouncing off 1.2900 as i thought - looks like a long period of consolidation might form at this level), the pound is also starting to retrace, and oil prices...

    edge...

    Well I was a buyer of Gold last week when it dropped close to $20 (Jan 5th) – my average cost was just below 610 (via the YG – cbot mini gold contract). The week prior to that I was a gold bull and a US dollar bear. I was assuming that fundamentally the euro and pound would continue to be...

So i will then use technical analysis and charts to...

    Weakness in commodities confirmed by Gold

    I think Gold will bounce if the EURO and Pound find support at their breakout levels around 1.29 (euro/usd) and 1.91 (gbp/usd) - that is also a 50% fib ret. level. Until those levels are broke i'll continue to be a USD bear....I think this bounce in the USD is just an opportunity to set up a...

    Daily Trading Strategies on Gold/Forex

    Long YG @ 610 Stops under $600 longer term bullish gold trade (bearish usd play into 2007). Hopefully the Euro and Pound will bounce off its 50% fib ret. and breakout price level from a few weeks ago...if that happens i'll be adding to this gold position. Best of luck all.

    Why do losing traders always buy tops?

    Has anyone ever done any research into what causes losing investors (and traders) to always buy tops and sell bottoms? Or the specific emotion that triggers the loser to always feel the most confident to take a trade at the worst possible time? Basically, i'd really like get some...
