And we aren't paying you anything, and we should be.
Just to make it clear - I DO read twitter. (I was a bit late to the party, but now I am a faithful follower). For some technical reason I can't yet figure, my laptop (which I depend on, but after this week, surely I can afford a new one ...), does not seem to support Tweetdeck. Wierd problem. I will keep trying....or maybe try another laptop.
Account +69% this week (can't believe this myself, let alone convince anyone else...only a small account in the grand scheme of things, but still) ... this is at least 75% thanks to Ashraf Laidi!
Whole different ball game from FX and commods. But related, of course, as it all is.
Having said that, as recently as 1 hour ago, Ashraf tweeted this:
"Tenfourty gold can be seen today"
so you _could_ make even more profit.
(That position I closed was from much lower down and could easily have gone into drawdown with the speed gold can move, so that's why I didn't risk it. Your situation is different if you were in from 1116).
I tend to agree with you on tech vs fund (not that reading fundamentals is necessarily easy....). I think it's fundamentals that move markets - just not necessarily in the way people expect.
Technicals working in a bullish market: I had not heard that, but I have heard the expression "There is no such thing as a support in a bear market. Having said that, in FX, one side's falling is another side's rising - not like with stocks or commodities, so it is not so clear.
Tweetdeck: For some reason, I can't get this to work on my laptop. I've tried many times - uninstall- re-install. Won't let me add my Twitter account to it. Wierd. I've looked in their forums, but nothing relevant. Maybe a new release will come along and cure it.
This is not too bad though: I simply use the Twitter web interface. It seems to tell you in real-time when there are new tweets (so if you are using Firefox for example), even if you are not looking at the Twitter home page at the time, if there is a number in the Twitter tab, that's the number of new Tweets, so you know to go to the Twitter page, click on the "new Tweets" link, and up they come. Maybe not quite as good as Tweetdeck, but it's not bad either.
There is a recent tweet there about #gold .
(not that I see it happening, either).
- Not forgetting #gold !!!
- 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.
