Congrats mate, excellent entry !
Do you enter on limit, or some sort of resistance break ?
my view is banks are in trouble and that pushes gold up. As gold going up I am exiting position bit by bit. So I raise cash for next trading idea which can be as simple as buying gold back 10 % lower.
I am still at loss to explain failure of my signal. so, not trying to be smart.
Cheers,
On that trade I entered on a sell limit @2117.35. The trade had been sitting with a pending order for about a week. That's the 8th trade I've done from the same zone this yr.
Sometimes you can get the perfect setup and it just doesn't work out.
Attached it a chart of the GPBNZD short it did in June 2012. It ended producing 3500 pips. I was stopped out on the first entry, then went in hard on the 2nd entry up higher. Also got the EURUSD @ 1.3819 in 2014 I still hold a portion of that also.
