I traded trends, do not care about what instruments they are. of course I need know my risk (tick value, margin call point).
just noticed gold post nicely up trend chart, tried to figure out where the support it is.
1130~1133 seems great support.
I found actually any market is just similar (the only difference is the tick value, margin requirement,volume)
Gold is a great trading tool, margin is just around $4500. lots of traders there, even in evening time, great volume.
10points gain correspoint to almost intra-day 50% gain (2contract, $2250 margin requirements).
I am trying to be bold, learning to trade fearlessly, I even shorted QG DEC several days ago at 4.625, covered it at 4.325 at the major support. QG is not good to be traded, volume is too light, up/down 10 ticks is just seconds, could not deal with it. but the margin requirement is great (just $1700)
thanks for the site
