Got gold out at 1520. Now tempted to sell silver at 4710- not revenge trade. Stop loss at 4810.

@chloe, I couldnt have guessed the experienced traders from the not so experienced ones; but now that I am told I would inform dave.

The next trade I am eyeing is the Euro. To sell at 14750. Why ? Straight long term trend line resistance at about 14690, right ? Also fundamentally i feel that Euro is overvalued medium term.

The other one which is tempting my punting instinct is gold, to buy if it breaks 1510. Might have to wait next week for that.

Sorry sir, to be fair, none of the 3 websites I frequent, viz. EWI, Elliott Wave Lives On or Elliott Wave predictions opined selling. In fact the 3 or so metal websites GoldnSilver, Silver.org & Casey Research have been advocating a buy even at these so-called "high" levels. This is the only forum that I visit and where I utter some nonsense. Thanks for the anonymity of this internet thingy.

Not giving excuses here but I think I do tend to get caught up with fading when I see others do it. I am generalising, but one glance at the posts and you feel that many are trying to pick a bottom with the USD or top is some other counter and it feels safe to be doing it with others. Typical greenhorn tendencies, I guess.

That is why I feel the need for someone above to shout at me to do the right thing.

I was stopped out with silver at 45.45. So much for my maiden foray into silver and attemp at fading it. On hindsight, when I sold it at 44.73 I ought to have taken some profit out of it at 44.30 or even 44.50 rather than hoping for it to breach 44 and hit my target of 4380, afterall silver is in a bullish streak.

I am reading that what we have witnessed in silver is still not a 'parabolic' move yet. Frankly if this is not parabolic I dunno what is(well then again I am only a 3 month old 'trader'.

When I asked a broker friend of mine what constitutes a 'parabolic move' in the case of silver he says that that will mean $2-3 upward movements everyday and towards the last stages even $5 a day movements. Cant quite imagine that.

This is not for the faint hearted. This quick silver hardly retraces and when it does it does the quickest of u-turns. And gold and silver play like a tag team together, when one sleeps the other makes its moves but finally they pull each other right along.

Appears that it's safer to join than to bet against this solid tag team in the current climate, IMHO.

Cant figure out how EWA fits into all this. Even EWI has given up with wave counts for silver for the past week or so. Yet EWI's current word on silver price is that- it is "highly unstable". Cute description.

@daveoO.

I subscribe to the same philosophy. "Do the job right and everything else will follow". But to get to do the job right, one must be passionate about their job, IMHO. "Chase money and money will find a way to run away from you"- they say. This market adds another factor into the mix, that is ego. Apart from discipine, I suspect that ego is the other factor that lets traders down.

To have the "passion" is one thing and to keep the passion sustained is yet another, IMHO.

Most people make their money from their careers and not from investments. Am acutely aware of that, so I will have to hold on to my day job.

... same old philosophy at selling at big or semi big fugures (45 for silver) or thereabouts when prices hit them first time round.

Not expecting any major turn around from here. If it gets to 43.80 I will be elated. But if it breaks through 45 enroute to 50, nothing surprising either.

I will buy it back at 46.30 then.

Since gold has breached 1500 I have cut my previous position from 1493, at 1502 ,and switched to selling silver at 44.73 instead. If it breaks 45.45 ( watching gold at 1510) I am out.

@DaveO. Advice is greatly appreciated.

Dynamic Traders have not responded and I will try directing my mail to Mr Miner himself.
