    Of course there is no 'easy' instrument to trade. However, everyone has their own style of trading.

    Backgrounds of Successful Traders

    I think anyone who has been consistently shorting crude in the past few months should have been consistently profitable. Prior to that, longing crude during its long bull. They always say the trend is your friend but this one is your bff.

    Gold calls.Long term -medium term and intraday calls in gold is here !.

    Well gold looks really bullish considering how little it went down when crude, euro, and the market tumbled. Not a great time to jump in bull though so ill wait for it to break 770. Or would it need to break something higher to be a new bull trend? anyways, Keep heads up for the dollar crash...

    Gold calls.Long term -medium term and intraday calls in gold is here !.

    Is the move in anticipation of the G7 meeting? in that case, is it safe to leave the short position over the weekend and wait for market reaction on monday? Or should i be flat, big moves make me nervous as they tend to have a big retraction.
