    Gold..currently in a small speculative position short. Stop above H1 s/r. Will look to add to position if move goes in favor. WTI.. just taken a position long.. although it is at a potential turning point... will be quick to collapse the trade if it turns against me

    Thanks for the heads up Jack I appreciate the nudge :) Charts with levels marked. I will be watching what PA does around these levels. NOTE: where price blows through levels such as GOLD... I will just go and plot some more :-) Added level AJ 91.196

    As crazy and unbelievable it sounds Jack... my new found love of pure Price Action doesn't change regardless of what asset class I'm 'attempting' to trade. Because i'm still kinda new to this way of trading I'm still trying to find my feet....however I am starting to employ 2 strategies for the...

    The trials and tribulations of a newbie.. still....

    Okay my plan this week is to watch 6 pairs... AJ, GU, GCAD, SP500, WTI and GOLD. The SP500 I wouldn't normally watch this week due to it breaking new highs.. I think I will have to employ some kinda trailing stop strategy if I get buy signals. Analysis on pairs to follow.

    Disappointing day for me today... took a loss on oil this morning that was a valid entry signal but I didn't get one for the massive move I had predicted yesterday. Just closed out AJ manually as to be honest it didnt look like it had any more legs today and do not fancy carrying overnight as I...

    Finally stumped up for a domain to host my blogging as I realise I will be taking up alot of space for my waffle that is only beneficial for me. I will move my random wittering there and keep to system/trading methodology in this space. Regards

    Thoughts for tomorrow: Gold - Big daily drop today.. I would have been looking for a safe level to TP at which was tagged 1270.. at the moment I will wait for more info before committing to further trades to the downside. If price indicates a possible retracement overnight through asia I may...

    Hi Jack... you're going to have to bear with me it's been part of my MT4 for a long time now and whilst it is installed on mine I cannot remember the site I originally got it from. There is/was a font installation program that was required to get it working correctly so it's not a case of I can...

    Okay so I have had a good day today 100+ pips on Gold and didn't want to re-enter on the invalidation of the Daily S/R. I am expecting the daily to engulf yesterdays bar which would set the stage for me to be looking for buying opportunities up to the monthly line 1307 (ish). Assuming I get...
