GOLD continues to PLUMMET - SELLS ACTIVE
Hey guys what's up Brandon here, Ekatatrading. Today I wish to discuss my sell on GOLD. I sold because 1. Gold is a bearish market and my LAW says to never go against the momentum unless a reversal is clear
Reversal wasn't clear, momentum was bearish so sells it was. That being said around the time of me observing the GOLD market it was approaching the previous low, making me question if it was even a reversal off the previous low to begin with.
Unlikely.
Once I figured that it wasn't likely to reverse I began looking for sells as per my law and low and behold sell is exactly what it did - Thank God as I had lost a trade earlier this week (See Linked Idea). This trade made back pretty much everything I had lost and then some for me which is how I believe you should trade to begin with.
My reasons were simple...If the market wanted to buy it had to take out the stop below the macro zone - which means it has to sell in any event right? So long as the market didn't harshly reject that low or maybe even accumulated around that low I'd feel safe to consider sells.
Reason being - Why would the dealer stay at a low point for so long only to actually buy the market? Wouldn't he be giving the buyers a ridiculously good opportunity to buy? In my opinion that doesn't make sense from the dealer's perspective and further helped me to better understand what might be going on.
Once I found my entry it was just about figuring out where to put my stop loss. I put my stop loss in an area where I think it is so unlikely to be hit because..as much as using a tighter stop is very attractive for your risk reward - it means nothing if you cannot stay in the trade to see that reward in the first place.
As I am typing this I am still in the trade - I am about to have lunch and then pretty much relax for the rest of the day as I've cleared my day to get some rest so I can heal.
I hope you understood what I was trying to say and it made some sense to you.
Have a great rest of your day and an even better weekend - See you guys next week =)
