And, guess what?  One small comment from a Trump official sends gold packing.  Total mug's game, this.  :D

A US president's comments are just as market moving as the Fed's, or red flag data releases, the market prices in new information, that's exactly what's supposed to happen. An awful lot of people are suckered into thinking the market must move in accordance with the lines they've drawn on their chart.

As I have said before " the Destiny of every trend line is to be broken ". I have discovered that the market doesn't  care about my lines  & sometimes seems to go out of it's way to break them ! Accepting that I can be wrong & knowing when I'm wrong is all part of the "game"

Why bother drawing lines at all? 

Do they help in making better trades? 

Is it possible to make technically 'good' trades and yet still lose money? 

If so, is TA any better than tossing a coin or kissing the dice for good luck before throwing them?

Why would anyone sane day trade with real money?

If you want to make money drawing lines, start a road marking business.

Every line someone draws on a chart is subjective and therefore mainly random.  Every indicator has multiple parameters and they are all of lagging, subjective, and random.   If there is one indicator worth putting on a chart it is probably P/S/R.  Other than that, the thing you need to look at is price action and momentum.

Simple question.  You place a trade with equal R:R (less spread) but you have the (local) direction right?  You win or lose?  Did RSI help with that?  Doubtful.

"Is it possible to make technically 'good' trades and yet still lose money?"

Yes, entirely possible.  Everything about trading is about taking the losses with the wins.  The goal is that the latter exceed the former.

This is about Alpha (Edge) and R:R.  If you have positive Alpha and Equal (or better) R:R you should make money with minimal draw down.  Here's the crunch.  Nobody is ever going to hand you positive Alpha.  You have to learn/earn it.

You could try to buy training but 99% of people selling training are people who can't trade so ...  one of the things you often see with sold systems is they have large draw-down.  That is not in the desirable feature set of a good system.  It suggests curve fitting in machine learning approaches.

I'll give you a tip though.  The market is BIG.  Even among those machines and algorithms there are still /multiple/ edges.

You might consider doing nothing, and punting for pips per day, or really learning something and putting together a plan for getting 10% annually and possibly compounding.

If it takes 7 years of study in a college, with experts, to become a doctor and earn a six figure salary, how long do you think it will take to become an expert trader with no help whatsoever.  Is the money sitting out there just waiting for you to take it?

If I go to medical school and study and work hard I know that at the end of seven years I have a future career as a doctor and a very decent salary.  That's a guaranteed payoff for seven years of total dedication to my profession.  I might fail my exams, or experience other difficulties and not make it, but I have an incentive to keep trying because I will definitely get a reward at the end of it.

Even if someone doesn't have a day job and can afford to dedicate themselves to trading, they aren't guaranteed anything.  They might even lose money.  Who is going to give total dedication to something that not only will not guarantee an income but might go wrong and lose them money?

The doctor will probably make more money from buying index funds or picking high dividend stocks and holding on to them over a number of years than a day trader will ever make from his three-monitor setup and minute-by-minute candlesticks.

As you said, most people who are selling training don't actively trade.  There's a reason for that.  It's because anyone and everyone will give up day trading instantly if they can make a stable income instead.

Total mug's game.  Addictive though.

The reason you won't succeed is because your attitude is defeatist from the outset.  You've already packed it in and determined you cannot succeed.  You cannot succeed at betting.  If you treat this as a business, you just /might/ have some hope.  You are probably just one of the 90% though, by your own admission.

Here's a pretty shoddy simulation with DAX including slippage.  Bank would probably need to be ~ £4k.  Return ~ 20%.  This system works for 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, averaging £1k p/a with a £1/pip bet.  Doesn't work for 2011.   Five out of six isn't bad (it's a winning proposition on that basis).  2011 price action has very special characteristics for which the system could be tuned. Having that information now, rather than as a future live discovery, is very beneficial.  The system meets other ideal characteristics.  Purely order based.  Stateless.  Could be run on the most simple of automated broker platforms.  Executes server side rather than client side so eliminates client latency issues.

People who are trading have their shelves lined with statistics and programming books.  Their TA books are most likely being used as door stops.  Open your mind to the possibilities, and to the fact that it is a difficult hill to climb.

Drawing lines on charts has absolutely no purpose whatsoever.  There are no handouts here.

I'm not running this live, rather working on it.  I have a couple of large open plays in progress and they are not day trades, but multi-year trades, with potentially very large payouts.  I posted on KMR a while back; 30% up in two months with a current price target of 460p (versus 240p current).  AEX still pending.

Markets are always about finding fair value, trading is always about finding a market that is searching for fair value, time frames are just a matter of choice. TA may help to determine where that fair value might be found but can't predict fundamental changes that will change where fair value might be found.

Gold hanging on to 1500, support below at 1452 weekly chart resistance turned support (red) and daily chart support at 1479. The recent high 1537 is prior support turned resistance from the monthly chart (green). RSI on the monthly just creeping into overbought.

May react to any news coming from the Jackson Hole symposium over the weekend and US prelim GDP next week.

will it shoot higher? is this an opportunity to get long before it shoots up higher? if the Fed rate cut is 100% priced into US indices has it been fully priced into gold?

That's the question :D

All I want to know is, has it got further to fall? 😺

    • As of now, the Tron Coin price is trading at $0.16365264, showing impressive growth with a 51.05% increase in value this year. With a circulating supply of over 86.5 billion TRX tokens, Tron has firmly secured the 9th position in the cryptocurrency rankings, boasting a market cap of $14.06 billion. However, what does the future hold for Tron Price and the TRX coin in 2024? Let's break down the key factors influencing the Tron Price movement and what investors can expect in the upcoming months. Potential for Upside Movement Bullish Scenario: If the market continues its upward momentum, Tron Coin could climb toward its recent high of $0.1760. Strong support for the TRX Crypto could drive the price further, especially if the broader crypto market, including Bitcoin, witnesses bullish sentiments in the coming months. Donald Trump’s Impact: The potential victory of Donald Trump in the elections could trigger a bullish market reaction for Bitcoin and altcoins like Tron Coin. Trump’s vocal support for cryptocurrencies could pave the way for price surges across the market. Analysts predict Bitcoin might reach an all-time high of $100k, which could positively influence altcoins like TRX Crypto. The optimism around the elections could see Tron Price hitting new highs, potentially reaching $0.251 in the coming months. Potential for Downside Risks Bearish Pressure: On the downside, the Tron Price could face significant resistance, particularly if regulatory issues impact the ecosystem. In such a case, TRX coin might retest its crucial support level of $0.140. If the market conditions worsen or Tron Crypto faces challenges in adoption, prices could dip to $0.080. Regulatory Hurdles: Regulatory scrutiny over cryptocurrencies could play a major role in the short-term price movement of Tron Price. If the TRON ecosystem fails to gain traction in terms of adoption, the TRX price might fall to $0.076. Average Price Expectation Based on current market trends and the influence of both bullish and bearish factors, analysts are predicting an average price of $0.165 for Tron Coin in 2024. Long-Term Outlook for TRX Coin Defi Ecosystem Growth: The Defi ecosystem's expansion presents a major opportunity for Tron Crypto. As the platform grows in popularity, Tron Price could sustain levels above the key psychological barrier of $0.30, potentially reaching highs of $0.330. Swing Highs and Lows: Despite potential corrections, Tron Coin could experience another swing high if the TRX Crypto ecosystem gains momentum. However, in case of a bearish correction, expect a dip to $0.076. The future of Tron Price looks promising, but it remains subject to market dynamics. With the potential for both upside and downside volatility, investors should keep a close eye on developments in the TRON ecosystem, global economic factors, and cryptocurrency regulations. As we move into 2024, Tron Price Prediction suggests a fascinating year ahead for TRX Crypto with potential for both growth and correction.  
    • Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election has sparked optimism in the cryptocurrency market. With growing crypto influence in U.S. politics, many investors believe his win could lead to favorable changes for Bitcoin prices and regulatory policies surrounding digital assets. Trump's Election: A Boost for Crypto Trump’s win signals a shift toward a more crypto-friendly U.S. administration. Investors are hopeful that, under his leadership, the SEC may adopt a less stringent approach to cryptocurrency, providing much-needed regulatory clarity. Rising Crypto Support in U.S. Politics Pro-crypto sentiment is growing across political lines. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong pointed out that 205 pro-crypto candidates were elected to the House of Representatives, far outnumbering their anti-crypto counterparts. The Senate also saw an increase in pro-crypto senators. This shift is fueling hopes for more supportive crypto regulations in the U.S. What Will the SEC Do Under Trump? The SEC’s approach to crypto could change under Trump. Historically, the SEC has taken a hardline stance on digital assets, filing numerous lawsuits against exchanges and companies. Trump has criticized the agency's regulatory overreach and has hinted that he would fire SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, leading many to believe the SEC might ease its position on crypto. Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, has urged the SEC to rethink its approach, suggesting that a more favorable regulatory environment could help drive Bitcoin prices higher. Bitcoin Price Hits New ATH: The Market Reacts Bitcoin’s price surged to a new all-time high (ATH) following Trump’s election victory. Currently Bitcoin was trading at $73,864.57 as per Coinpedia markets data.. This rally reflects growing investor confidence that a pro-crypto administration will drive the market forward, potentially leading to new price records for Bitcoin and other digital assets. For a deeper dive into Bitcoin Price Prediction and market trends, check out our detailed analysis. Will the SEC Drop Crypto Lawsuits? Investors are now wondering if the SEC will ease its legal actions against crypto companies. With Trump’s pro-crypto stance, there’s speculation that the SEC could start dropping ongoing lawsuits, providing greater stability for the market. Bitcoin’s Bright Future Ahead Trump’s victory, combined with growing crypto support in Congress and a potential shift in SEC policies, sets a positive outlook for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market. Regulatory clarity could propel Bitcoin prices even higher in the near future.
    • Solana (SOL) recently dropped from $180 to $160, possibly due to profit-taking or broader market trends. However, with Bitcoin's rise, Solana price could potentially surge to $1,000 in the future. Current Solana Price and Key Support Levels Price Status: Solana price today is trading in the $160 range, maintaining a level above critical moving averages as per Coinpedia Markets. Support Levels: SOL is currently above the 50-day SMA ($153.30) and 200-day SMA ($151.40), which are key support levels. Holding above these could be a good sign of a potential price recovery. Temporary Downtrend: Despite the dip, trading above these support levels suggests that this downturn might only be temporary. Bullish Solana Price Prediction from Analysts Analyst View: Crypto analyst Bhr Investor believes Solana could reach between $650 and $1,000 in the next bull run. Market Conditions: Bhr Investor emphasizes that more candlestick patterns are needed to confirm this prediction, and he’s closely watching for signs of upward momentum. Growth Outlook: If the market shifts positively, the potential for Solana to soar is strong, backed by its position and market dynamics. Rising Network Activity on Solana Increased Usage: Solana’s network is seeing increased usage, which positively affects its fees. Outperforming Ethereum: Recent data from DeFiLlama shows that Solana briefly surpassed Ethereum in daily network fee generation. Raydium's Role: This surge is largely due to high activity on Raydium, Solana’s leading decentralized exchange, which brought in over $3 million in a single day through fees. Long-Term Impact: With increasing adoption and usage, Solana’s utility is expanding, which could support a steady price climb. Price of Solana vs. Ethereum Ethereum's Position: Although Solana briefly outpaced Ethereum in network fees, Ethereum still holds the lead with $2.72 million in fees over the last 24 hours. Close Race: The margin between the two networks is narrowing, and Solana’s expanding activity could continue to close the gap, boosting its reputation in the DeFi space. Final Thoughts: Is Solana a Good Investment? Potential for Growth: Despite recent price drops, Solana has strong growth potential. As its network activity increases, the price of Solana may see upward momentum. Future Outlook: With experts forecasting a Solana price range of $650 to $1,000 in the next bull run, the long-term outlook appears promising. Bullish Sentiment: Prominent crypto enthusiasts like Evan Luthra are bullish on Solana, seeing it as one of the top coins to watch alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum.
