Another thought. If it takes billions to move a market to where you want it, then what? What happens when you go to get out? Now you've got to liquidate everything you've built up and that should move the market right back to square one.

XAU/USD & XAG/USD - Gold & Silver Traders Thread

Come on man. Think about restrictions that governments put on markets such as "no short selling". Think of price controls. That's manipulation. If your only definition is moving a market by buying/selling with leverage, then there are a lot of ...

XAU/USD & XAG/USD - Gold & Silver Traders Thread

Insider trading and manipulation are not the same thing. As far as the British Pound trade, how did he actually manipulate the market? By simply shorting it? I believe if anybody was manipulating it, it was the British government. I don't know, I ...

XAU/USD & XAG/USD - Gold & Silver Traders Thread

This one's turning out good so far. To get in on the manipulation debate. I used to think it was obvious that manipulation was present. Now, not so much. The market is so perfect--all the time, and in virtually all markets--at going to where the ...

Another good rally to fade. Might make it to 97.65. I'm loving these little rallies. Like I said, they only add fuel to the bigger move.

I'm bullish here. XTRADE, I know you're a real stickler for people explaining trades, but mine's real simple---I don't think it will hit my stop before it reaches the target.

All this jumping around just builds steam. 95.00 easy.

Where did you determine, before you opened the trade, the point at which you are proven wrong? That is where you get out. Either that, or if price action tips you off before your stop is hit that you are wrong, you can save yourself some money and ...

See chart.

This is how I look at a chart. I do this on higher TF's as well.

Well, I disagree in that this is a bad place to short. Oh well, let's see what happens.

Sorry, the point?

Honestly, man, if you draw enough lines you'll find some interesting things. I believe that lines like the one you drew is completely random. By the time anybody sees something like this, the effect is usually over. I wouldn't put much weight into ...

Last time there wasn't a trendline. Now it is too obvious. Trading off trendlines is usually a losing proposition.

I doubt this pair goes any higher than 98.46. The longs (with no stop-loss) will need the deep pockets.

USD/JPY Discussion

Before what, it comes back to 99.00? I could see this pair heading down to 92.50 area, and possibly even lower than that, before any substantial reversal. Of course, it won't go in a straight line down, and there might be some spikes upwards to ...

I wouldn't rely on volatility to save me from a bad trade. It's pretty simple; if price goes where you didn't think it should you get the hell out. To rely on being saved is extremely risky, and if anybody here plans on trading for a living for a ...

Guys, if you lost this week and feel bad, I know how you feel. It's happened to me thousands of times. This is where your desire will be tested and you better have desire in spaids or you will eventually give up. A losing week should be followed by ...

To sell now would be something that a beginner would do. You missed the spot, and now the week is almost over. No problem. There is always next week, which will bring more opportunities. Always think about the risk first. Don't worry about missed ...
