Wrcmad,
Thanks again for introducing me to CFD and the world of trading. It has been a roller coaster ride for me in my first year. It has been a painful but rewarding journey. I only wish I have the initial discipline to follow your guidelines to the T. It is one thing to learn and do 'excel' trades but it was a completely different thing when trading with real money.
Any newbies wishing to trade, i suggest you follow the link above and study it very well and follow it! There was a time when I was right 9x in a row and my 10th trade wiped out all the gains and more! so please follow it well.
I might want to add one more advice to any STACKERS who might wanna learn to trade......DONT LEARN TO TRADE WITH SILVER! Why you ask? As a STACKER your EMOTIONS will GET IN THE WAY!. Go and learn to trade with Forex, preferably a currency you give peanuts about and again make sure you follows Wrcmad's guidelines in the link above. Should you still want to learn to trade with silver, then follow my one last advice...
So what if there is QE~, so what if Russia wants the gold, so what if india is buying tons of gold, so what if germany can only get back a small fraction of their gold back each year and an even bigger so what if China is importing high 100's TONS of gold in 2012. It doesn't matter. Why again? Because there is a HELL LOT MORE Paper traders (managed fund with deep pockets) out there that will trump all the the physical buying from all these countries. And these paper traders work off the technical picture.
The only time when it matters is when the western central banks, bullion banks, COMEX, LBMA, SLV and GLD ran out of gold OR fail to deliver a PHYSICAL allocation. Until then PM will be based on the technical picture and not the fundamental. The BRICS can send the price of silver to the moon, but it would not be practical to do so, as they want as much physical as they can get.
If you are still stacking, I would use the technical picture to BTFD.
Sorry for being off tangent, but i thank you again Wrcmad. It has been very rewarding.
