"Those on this forum kept fearing the GOLD RALLY, but i mentioned 1040 about 5 times this week as that 1023 failed prominently"

- Yes, we did, and yes you did, and of course, you were right - well certainly about 1070, and lower.
(I think you mean that 1123 failed prominently). A blinding day. Hope you are resting well now.
Tomorrow may be an anti-climax, but who knows ....

If we're set for ~1040 now, I'm ready ... (I think ...).

Thanks again Ashraf.
Let's hope the votes reflect your magnificent contribution to trading-twitterers and forum-folk alike.

@Saka: Yes, very interesting. Is it true that the Chinese government encourages its citizens to buy physical gold? I have seen that said on (western) trading forums.

@Saka: Hi & welcome here. Yes, there is a lot of good stuff at FF too.

Personally, I've been getting away from technical trading and trying to get more into fundamentals (which I used to ignore 100%). The good thing about Ashraf is that he manages to combine fundamentals and technicals. I still think it's hard to find the right balance myself, but I'm still learning.
A lot of it comes from experience and I think it becomes instinctive, although it's not a natural instinct. We have to learn it in some way, consciously or sometimes unconsciously, being aware of how the market is changing as well of course.

@Pipped: Closed my short position in FTSE100 too early!

Oh well, can't win 'em all.

Still I suppose your friends in GS will be pumping it all back up soon enough ...

:-)

[Off-Topic, sorry, but am I going crazy (probably), or did the times shown in this forum use to be shown as GMT? At least that's what I think I used to see. I am currently now seeing ET. Just booted my machine, so maybe that's the reason].
