most likely because it was one big trend on the way down ... a lot of CTA's are trendfollowing

A good trader should be able to profitly trade on both sides. Also what happened in the past doesn't mean it will project into the future

let's see how this pans out is my view too ... volume is idd not important to me

I trade solely of spot gold charts. I don't look at futures charts, however they shouldn't differ that much. I look at daily sometimes to be aware of the bigger context but that one isn't really necessary for my trading.

I must correct you, we even have 100x leverage with oanda europe :-) For the record I brought 6H also to the table to get myself better risk control for better exits. Good you are papertrading, but I got that direction also through my charts, however 1256.30 is a support level hence my long.

something not going right with your images ...

Let's stay with the technicals please. Like I told you I am not interested in the fundies here in this journal. You don't make money trading fundies (although your reasoning might seem sound).

yes, I am aware of the deep in the money possibility but it's the exception to the rule ...

why would anyone assign (counterparty) long puts before expiration, the logical thing would be to sell them and get the time value ... if you by some miracle get assigned by the short puts you can always either sell the stock and in the meantime sell your long put (taking the extra time value)...

You are asking questions like these and you wonder why I advise you to read more option books. I am not being deregatory: I am doing you a favour ... a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing it seems in your case ... And to answer your question the most you can lose is the maximum of the...

you better start reading some option books ... this post is pure laziness ...

do you have any clue what you are going to do with that kind of information ? ? ?

JK90029 you are more than backwarded ... leave IB alone and remain in your neanderthalic cave ...

minus some interest this is basically true, it works both ways though don't forget that
