Does Gold always rally once a day? Just kidding. I got in long position around 1036am , trying to get into second rally. However, I was wrong. I was stopped with -1 R loss. There seems to be some problem with Tradestation order execution. My stop order was not honoured immediately. Though I saw there […]
Gold
Trades 14-Mar-2007
No dummy trade as mentioned in my Twitter box. I made two trades on ZG today. Both were losers. First trade exceeded my R as I was using stop order instead of stop limit order as usual. That’s a mistake. First trade ended with -1.31 R loss. Second trade was stopped with -0.68 R loss […]

Dummy day trading #10 14-August-2006:Mini Gold: Short trade closed
That was not so nice to start the week with a loss. Short position of GOLD was established below 8:00am (chicago time) reversal up bar. And I was stopped out by the very next candle. Nothing much to write about this trade. The possible mistake might be, the reversal up bar was in fact closed […]
Charts: Futures recap 08-August-2006
If one of the trading rules is 'You don't need to trade everyday', Fed meeting day might be a good day to take a break from trading. Again, I decided to leave index futures alone for the day, and turned my eyes to commodities. Well, Gold did not have a good run. I was pretty […]
