It depends is acd breakout or reversion. I think the whole idea for me is to not get taken out of a trend day. It is easy now to say gold is a short. I took a scalp on gld the other day and got stopped out. No biggie on to the next trade. I tend to favor long trades so I get stopped out alot when volatility is high. For example I got a big windfall on the gap up from the euro swap, currently I am getting stopped a lot. Some guys will never take a long trade as they are pessimists by nature. I am well aware gold could go to 1450 as Mav says. I really have no idea where gold will end today doesn't mean I can't trade it.
