I wants to learn how to trade gold?

 

Hi monica 88

I dont usually post on this thread, but your 88 caught my attention.:) :missy:

8 is the luckiest number in Chinese, so you must be Chinese and double lucky:roll eyes::roll eyes::roll eyes:

This is NOT the place to reply to your request.

Start a new thread with the same request, or post this on "Gold , bullish or bearish"

Maybe I can help :(

kind regards

I have been retired for 6 years and my IRA has not been doing well and has been managed by a professional money manager. I would like to take my IRA over and help it grow. I need help to make this happen. All ideas would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

You are not giving enough information, and probably shouldn't in an open thread, on your particular situation to be able to answer your question. I will share with you that I do not think that putting your retirement money at risk when you are retired is a good idea at all if you need the money in the IRA to live on.

hey bob,

If you are already retired, the options I see are

> 1) ‘learn’ how to hedge your portfolio with leveraged instruments

> 2) go back to ‘work’

> 3) become a trader

 

Discussion,

Re: 1) you will find a whole ‘school’ of the ‘voice of trading’ telling you that you have very low probability of pulling that off. They are correct. However it’s my opinion you also have low probability of consistently controlling the bleeding any better than your ‘professional’ has done. So, ...

 

Re 2) this is not a recommendation “to get a regular job”!

Focus on something truly meaningful to you ( ... that also has the potential to let you ‘outrun’ the system this time around )... see Robot Check

Disclosure: I have not read this book or even his articles promoting his ideas re ‘work’ , ‘gig economy’ etc etc... However, I do read his posts re broad economy, etc. and generally respect his perspectives

... his blog today is even on point to your situation Of Two Minds - The Illusion of Safety: Index Funds Are Not Low-Risk

 

Re 3) you already got a fire in your belly for trading? If not, forget about this one. The people you’re going up against in trading want to take your funds even more viciously than the ‘system’ does...

 

Re all three) In all three of these options you will be required to ‘recreate yourself’ - of course in different ways for each - but still !!! >>> In all three of these options you will be required to ‘recreate yourself’... you will have to make significant changes and ‘grow’...

 

Keeping it real ...Not trying to discourage you...

 

I have friends and acquaintances who have tried one (or more) of these options. Got the 'blow by blow' for several of them...

One - a retired dentist - did all three (in reverse order) .

To begin with, (imo) he had started with too much new house in tiburon for retirement and lived too lavishly the first few years... and also he had been switching / shifting his portfolio to 'safety' far too early during the final years in his practice...

He enthusiastically traded for a few years . Was smart enough not to blow up. Instead he did it the slow painful way ... via way less than stellar returns( ie one acceptable year... the rest in red -8% to - 20% ranges per year. )

He next taught dentistry part time - but adjuncts get screwed plus he “got burned out on driving to the city”...

Finally he scaled back the leverage (except for the hedging) and attempted to manage his own holdings hank pruden style. Had 'acceptable' ie lackluster results... but at least he was 'back in control' (ie How do you spell 'denile'? )

Just a quick introduction....feel free to check out my profile if you're interested in more.

 

First, I should point out that I have damage from my first cancer (3 brain tumors) that affects both my typing (typos, mixing words---e.g., starting the next word before I'm finished with the current word), and resulting from a different tumor (2.5 cm occipital lobe), if my fingers don't detect it first, I might not see the errors. So please excuse these. it's not my spelling, it's damage from my first cancer.

 

Now, on to the real stuff. I started out investing, and was always told, during big selloffs, corrections, etc., NOT to sell anything...it'll all go back up again. Well, I quickly realized that, with my very limited investing account (forced into Social Security Disability by cancer #1---not much money, period), making nice gains (for me, that was about $1200) and then having 100% of them along with a bunch of capital, TWICE, investing wasn't the way to make enough to escape from SSD. So, around October '15 or so, I decided to switch over to trading (originally thinking of day trading, now swing trading).

 

I am still in the learning stage. My #1 issue keeping me from trading is being able to consistently pick stocks with a high percentage chance of it/them being a winner. With that in mind, I would welcome any help I can get (free---no $$ to pay for help).

 

I am volunteering with the American Cancer Society and the 2016 Fort Walton Beach Relay For Life, as a member of both the Event Leadership Team and the Survivor/Caregiver Committee. I am also a co-captain (seems there's always two of us) on the survivor team.

Spooky...

 

I applaud your desire to find a way out of SSD, but please understand that this is a business with an extremely high rate of failure. I can't know the full extent of your disability, but if there is any other type of employment that you would be suited for... well, I think I would place my efforts with that instead.

 

That said...

 

PM me, and we can talk further. I'm not interested in taking on a student (at any price), but if you wouldn't mind further sharing (privately) about your disability, resources, and income requirements, I may be able to make some recommendations.

 

Best of good fortune to you...

Hi everyone,

 

i am new to trading as have been an untrained one. i wish to learn more about trading algo and methodology.

 

i am currently trying to understand the NR7 (narrow range 7) and have some questions.

 

1) How do one ascertain the start of counting of the first of the 7 days? Based on what i see from the list of NR7 tutorial or explanations, it seem it is always a nice order, where the starting of the day 1 to day 7 and then another day 1 to day 7 but real chart don't happen that way. So how to check NR7? Besides, sometimes i see NR7 near to another NR7, i am confused.

 

2) For NR7 bar (long), the low tail is meant as a stop loss, but how do one merge this idea with the position sizing?

 

3) finally is NR7 meant for daily trading time frame, what about 15 min time frame?

 

thank you reading and posting your comments and guidance.

The patterns can overlap and occur anywhere and the original ( ie reference ) testing on this pattern was based on trades taken on any occurrence of the pattern.

... But as we discussed in VSA thread, to really ‘leverage’ these types of patterns, they must be implemented / traded only in certain contexts.

 

“Find the narrowest range bar of the last seven bars (NR7) to locate this sudden congestion breakout. Its predictive power lies in the location where it appears. NR7s work best right in the middle of congestion, or when price pushes repeatedly against a major barrier. When the signal works, it works fast and triggers a major price expansion without a pullback.” Alan Farley

 

2) For NR7 bar (long), the low tail is meant as a stop loss, but how do one merge this idea with the position sizing?
Ultimately, it’s best not to merge this idea with the position sizing :)

 

3) finally is NR7 meant for daily trading time frame, what about 15 min time frame?
It will show up and may even ‘work’ on any timeframe... but, in general, you will miss too many trades narrowing your criteria to just this setup in congestion breakouts on intraday charts...

 

fwiw

The trade triggers with the most 'beautiful' results look 'average' ... 'beautiful' triggers yield average results

 

tennis anyone?

Hello. Prokaryote here.

I am trading ETF's. I am a student and attempting to build my account to pay for school. Right now my focus is on UVXY. I have been watching this ETF for approximately 1 year and have been placing occasional trades. I would like to know whether you or anyone else who reads this is and/or has traded UVXY?

I saw The Big Short recently and became fascinated. I read the book. I'm reading other books now. I have no illusions about overnight success, I'm just trying to learn and absorb as much as I can, and eventually start trading conservatively.

 

I need some occupation with a flexible schedule, because my son lives far away and I need to be able to see him for weeks at a time, and I simply cannot have a conventional full time, or even part time, job. I also need to be able to travel for personal reasons. I have studied online marketing and business for a while, but I simply do not have a product to sell, I can't think of anything to be or do. And I'm not paying $1200 for a drop shipping course from the other pesky marketers who are trying to make a dollar off me. This is something I want to pursue and understand...

 

And I would probably paper trade for a while too. Anyway I have LOTS of detailed questions so I hope this forum is a good place to be.

 

Cheers,

Chris

Chris,

 

3 quick, brutal bullets

 

> TL is not as good of a place for beginners as it once was. Nevertheless, it is still just as good as any of the other trading forum sites.

 

> Trading is performance work. Typically, practical needs cannot be anywhere near the top of the list of why one is entering / doing performance work.

Yes, there are legends about economically or class challenged young men who turned to athletics (also performance work) to get out the ghetto, driven to ‘buy a nice house’ for his mama, or whatever - but in almost all cases of those few that make it, these are ‘stories’ overlayed on the real story. A significant intrinsic drive for the activity itself better be inside there or you will stay in the ~79% that- slowly or quickly - go nowhere in this field.

 

> Only 3% of traders and trading educators (ie the ‘voice of trading’) will give or agree with the following advice. In the beginning - DO NOT PAPERTRADE! It is 'looser' preparation. Leverage your time. Put your bodybrains into the real game from the beginning. Later, when you have selected and are developing your niche method(s) - then you may need and be able to utilize structured practice / papertrading.

 

Wishing you all the best.

 

zdo

 

PS re your other post - learn the diff between exposure and risk ie learn the diff between exposing $3500 and risking $3500... ultimately very important at the level of overall portfolio management...

That's because it's bad advice. Trading without a plan is "loser" preparation, particularly if one is under-capitalized. “Trading to learn” is no more rational nor profitable than playing roulette to learn.

Thanks zdo for the articulate and thoughtful response.

 

I am already starting to feel the weight of this pursuit, so your comments make it all the clearer. I think what daunts me the most right now is, having no financial background, the overwhelming learning curve involved and the complexity of the field, all the moving parts. Most courses tackle the broad trading concepts, but it is still at a general overview level. Reading a few books is not enough, and to implement the concepts in an ongoing flow state would take years. And of course everyone tries to impress by promising $1,500 a day, etc. It's so much more than that.

 

Even reading posts from some other traders here, who have been trading for three years, and just starting to nail down their own rules, what works and what doesn't, and just starting to consistently turn a profit. Still, no one goes into specifics - which is what I need to know.

 

And no one seems to cover (courses, videos and books I am looking at) the technical side of getting set up. How do you choose a broker, how do you open an account, how do you set up the account, how do you set up the necessary charts on your monitor to watch, and will this even work on a Mac? How do you find stocks and actually trade, and what is out there that I do not know that will empty my account.

 

So yeah, I'm not sure. This is scary stuff. But I am sufficiently fascinated to keep learning, and maybe trade when I am comfortable. It is certainly not easy work or easy money.

 

Cheers,

Chris

... see folks?

... as expected...

a demonstration that the 'voice of trading' has a prescribed sequence of development for you. A sequence that is sub-optimal ... a long running psy-op ... that all but a few fall for...

 

and now it's choice time.

 

:missy:

 

(btw. db, having watched your progressions over the last 10 - 15 years, I predict that one day you will suddenly see what I’m saying.)

 

all the best,

Actually hardly anyone "falls" for it. They try to learn by doing. Year after year. And the failure rate climbs. And the beat goes on . . .

    • Date: 21st November 2024. Gold Regains Momentum as NVIDIA Delivers a Revenue Surge! NVIDIA beat earnings expectations, and nearly doubled revenue on an annual basis. NVIDIA stocks dip slightly despite strong earnings and a strong forecast for the current quarter. Analysts expect market participants to purchase the dip. The Japanese Yen wins back some ground as Bank of Japan Governor indicates the regulator will be willing to hike to support the FX market. Gold, Silver and other Metals all rise due to predictions of high retail and institutional demand and geopolitical tensions remaining high. NASDAQ – NVIDIA Surpasses Earnings Expectations! The NASDAQ took a sudden dip on Wednesday measuring 1.50%, however, investors quickly took the opportunity to purchase at the lower price as most indicators fell to give an oversold indication. As a result, the NASDAQ ended the day only slightly lower than the open price, but downward momentum remains this morning. The downward momentum is partially due to geopolitical tensions which are on the rise. Yesterday, Ukraine fired UK-made missiles into Russia and fired US-made the day before. There are also reports and speculations that Russia has sent ICB Missiles into Ukraine for the first time. However, reports are not confirmed, and there are signs of certain stocks recovering. Currently, there is no economic data which is driving the lack of demand, therefore investors are mainly concentrating on NVIDIA earnings. NVIDIA beat earnings expectations by 8.50% and revenue by 5.90%. Investors were particularly impressed by the significantly higher revenue which has almost doubled annually. In addition to this, the forecast given for the current quarter came in relatively strong. Lastly, the CEO, Jenson Huang, said to Bloomberg that demand exceeds supply but the company is setting in place measures to boost supply in order to meet the high level of demand. Taking into consideration the strong earnings, positive tone and upbeat forecasts for the coming quarter, many may wonder, “why is the stock declining 2.50% during this morning’s Asian session?”. This is partially due to the lower risk appetite, but also due to certain forecast expectations for NVIDIA not being met. The average NVIDIA forecast expectations from Wall Street firms was $37.1 billion, which NVIDIA comfortably surpassed. However, certain firms had expectations as high as $41 billion. Based on these higher expectations, the company underachieved and could trigger a lack of demand from this sector of Wall Street. Though many analysts continue to expect shareholders to purchase the lower price as long as the stock market will remain favorable.   EURJPY – BOJ To Consider Hike! The EURJPY declines for a second consecutive day, particularly gaining bearish momentum after this morning’s Bank of Japan press conference. The main takeaway from the press conference was that the Governor told journalists that the BOJ was willing to hike interest rates in the upcoming months but decisions will be made meeting by meeting. The Bank of Japan’s decision to raise interest rates in July was influenced in part by the weak Yen, which had driven up import costs and inflation. At the Europlace Financial Forum in Tokyo, Governor Kazuo Ueda emphasized that exchange-rate fluctuations are a key consideration in shaping economic and inflation forecasts. He noted that the central bank carefully examines what is driving these currency changes when assessing their impact. The EURJPY now trades below the 75-Bar Exponential Moving Average and below the 50.00 on the RSI. In addition to this, the exchange rate continues to form lower swing lows while the Euro underperforms against most currencies. These indications point towards a potential downward price movement.   Gold – Geopolitical Tensions Send Gold on a Bullish Path! Gold has increased in value for a fourth consecutive day, driven largely by geopolitical tensions. Additionally, the absence of significant US economic news has left markets uncertain about the Federal Reserve’s next move. Gold is currently witnessing an active buy signal from most momentum-based indicators due to the strong bullish momentum. For example, traders are able to see the price trading above the Bollinger Band, within a bullish moving average crossover and significantly high on most oscilators. However, investors should note as the price increases, the asset can become overbought and this may trigger a retracement, a correction or sideways price movement. In terms of geopolitical tensions, hopes for a Middle East ceasefire are being tempered by Russia’s revision of its nuclear doctrine, which aims to strengthen its borders after the US-approved long-range strikes from Ukraine reached deep into Russian territory. Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s re-election has yet to significantly influence the conflict, though markets remain optimistic about potential positive developments following his January 20 inauguration.

    • Date: 20th November 2024. Market Rebounds as Putin Signals Readiness for Peace Talks; Focus Shifts to NVIDIA! US Stocks drop to a 2-week low after Ukraine fired US-made missiles into Russia, but rebound in the US session. Putin updates nuclear doctrine, allowing Russia to strike Ukraine if it uses weapons from nuclear-armed nations. Walmart again beat earnings expectations pushing the stock 3.00% higher. Earnings Per Share beat expectations by 8.00%. The Japanese Yen loses momentum and corrects back to previous lows. The US Dollar maintains strong bullish momentum. UK Inflation Rate rises from 1.7% to 2.3% supporting the GBP despite budget concerns continuing. NVIDIA is set to release their quarterly earnings report after market close. NVIDIA stock has risen more than 5.00% indicating the market expects a beat. NASDAQ – All Eyes On NVIDIA Earnings Report! The NASDAQ ended Tuesday 0.71% higher despite coming under significant pressure during the Asian and European session. The NASDAQ fell 1.20% during the day’s first two sessions due to geopolitical tensions triggering a much lower risk appetite. This is due to the US as well as other countries agreeing to allow Ukraine to strike Russia with foreign made weapons. Ukraine quickly took advantage of this by firing ATACMS into Russia. Russia responded by changing their nuclear weapon use doctrine. Here we can see why the global stock market fell rapidly. However, why did the market recover during the US session? During the US session, the risk appetite and confidence of the market improved as the White House confirmed nothing changes with Russia changing their Nuclear Weapons Doctrine. In addition to this, President Putin also said that he would be willing to start peace talks with President Elect Trump. Lastly, the market also took the opportunity to purchase the lower price since NVIDIA’s earnings report is imminent and Walmart already beat their earnings expectations. Walmart is not a component of the NASDAQ, but has improved the sentiment towards the US stock market. NVIDIA, which is on the NASDAQ, is set to release their quarterly earnings report after market close. NVIDIA stock rose 4.89% yesterday and a further 0.47% this morning indicating the market expects a beat. Analysts expect the company’s Earnings Per Share to rise from $0.68 to $0.75 and revenue from $30.04 billion to $33.14 billion. As no US economic data is set to be made public throughout the day, investors are solely concentrating on geopolitical tensions and earnings. The price of the NASDAQ rose above the 75-bar exponential moving average on the 2-hour chart for the first time since 14th. Traders will be monitoring whether the index will be able to maintain momentum above this level and if the price may also rise above the 100-bar SMA. Traders will be waiting for the NASDAQ to regain bullish momentum and if so will act accordingly. Buy signals are likely to rise if the price increases above $20,764.30 and intensifies above $20,777.93. GBPUSD – UK Inflation Rises Above Expectations! The price of the GBPUSD increased in value taking the exchange rate to a 1-week high, but concerns remain according to analysts. The exchange rate is trading 0.30% higher after the UK made public their latest inflation rate. The UK inflation rate rose from 1.7% to 2.3% which is higher than previous expectations and considerably higher than the previous month. The GBP is currently the best performing currency with the Pound index trading 0.21% higher. However, the second best performing is the US Dollar Index which is trading 0.14% higher. Therefore, investors need to be cautious that a retrace or correction is still possible while the US Dollar Index remains high. Currently the Pound is coming under pressure from the Autumn Budget and from farming strikes which are continuing. However, comments from the Bank of England could support the currency. The BoE warns that planned National Insurance hikes in the Labour budget may drive up prices, slow wage growth, and reduce hiring. Significant inflation could force prolonged tight monetary policy.
