manage to recover my short losses thru my long positions... a roller coaster week for me :(

stop loss positioned at 950 for profit taking. also positioned stop loss at 18.81 for silver profit taking.

usd weakened against the gold, silver, euro and also the swiss franc.

yuewah,

You seem to be reacting to news. Is better to position yourself *before* major moves in the markets become headline news.

Boon, long time no talk, recently I have been following gold since gold hit 850. Yesterday, gold pull south and nearly hit EMA 81 days. What do you think? Will gold hit EMA 200 days before a rebound? I am planning to buy some gold.... thanks again....
