How to trade gold? due to its recent violent nature, increase stop loss by 2x (and reduce trading quantity). glue backside to the trading chair, and eyes to the monitors for hours. because signal can come anytime. ladder must be ready and setup bracket order. when there is signal, hit...

we all made mistakes. I used to consider buying when price was extremely extremely high. In fact, I used the stupid foolish screener to sieve out stocks that were at 1 YEAR HIGH, 5 YEARS HIGH ... of course after buying (even after pull back), price would collapse like hell. and then I had to...

agree. there were lots of pull backs for the past few years. now it is far too late.

don't stay away from them. There are lots of things we can learn from them. They have excellent advertisement which attracts traders eyes. They are very good in selling their products / services. They know how to entice gullible people. very good to learn from them how to sell fridge to the...

11 Aug US session main focus : NQ, gold, perhaps Asian & dax index futures. gold - downtrend started since yesterday US session. gold went down with multiple waves already ES - seems to be very lethargic bonds - already moved

Currency futures has all along been better than spot forex due to their volume. I don't trust spot forex volume. My charts are all volume based (not time based). so trading spot forex is totally out for me.

Then were do you get accurate, fast, responsive, useful, logical, helicopter view, wide focus news for professional traders ? we don't want inaccurate, slow, unresponsive, useless, illogical, tunnel vision view, narrow focus news that contaminates our minds.

right. there are quite a few futures which have extremely tiny tick size (eg NQ, China A50). Looking at those long string of numbers would give us headache. unfortunately those Exchanges might come up with super nano tick size as their direction has been to make tick size smaller and smaller...

Look at today market. Hangseng and China A50 are going up very strongly.

Is it possible to get poor with Forex trading. To get poor very quickly, trade very heavily. It takes many decades to develop trading skills.

great to see Eurex abolish the tiny tick size. Other exchanges especially CME should follow eurex. DAX min tick size will be 1 point = 25 Eur so revised trading parameters for day trading : stop loss : 20 points, 500 eur target profit : minimum 50 points, 1250 eur stop loss used to be...

I am serious. I use ladders for most of my trades. I hate tick size that is soo tiny

GREAT!!! Eurex made the smart brainy move!!! we hate tick size that is extremely fine. when tick size is sooo tiny, elderly people with poor eyesight have problem looking at looong string of numbers. One of the worst product is NQ ( eg 11124.25) from CME. tick size is extremely extremely...

Unfortunately and as usual, this correlation study is far far too slow. gold has been going up since 5 months ago and has appreciated by massive 40%. It is too late to do any studies.

last Friday, Russell 2000 went up massively while ES hardly moved. your NQ entry price was rather bad.

not many commodities were affected. occassionally US China talked about soya trade war. Then soya price would move.

It is not even great for day trading. Most trading books would not tell you when precisely to enter a trade. If you read the postings in this or other forums, lots of traders don't know when precisely to enter a trade I had burned and destroyed quite a few of my trading books

Well that was a LONG distance run

I doubt foreigners can trade SFE products
