Thanks this helps a lot!!

But I think it would be better if I can listen to people comment, since some brokers may have hidden terms and condition, like charge extra money when withdraw money, or every trades have to be opened for at least 1 minute(very bad for scalping).

I would like to trade gold. can anyone recommend me best broker that offer:

1. cheapest brokerage / lowest spread
2. Mac friendly
3. Ease of deposit and withdrawal.

thanks

I see massive drop in gold and it will drop more! Been short since 1605

i'm still holding on my long since last week at support..
still in buy mode.. price reached 50% of last week big move...
might want to be careful there...

if SL hit still profit if not still in profit .. wonderful world ...
i see another support entry ..

This is greatly helpful. thank you

long term, it's gonna head long...but still, there are quite some pips to grab for short. I m going long soon too

my position stopped
no worry few thousand pips in hand...

gonna leave gold for the time being...
audusd look promising .... looonnggg.... LOL

Can I know will your broker automatically delete your pending orders ( for GOLD) at server time 23:59 everyday ?

no...
it will never close unless if SL is hit...
never experience my positions being closed for no obvious reasons..
1 position on gold i held up to 2 weeks on the sell off ... never get closed without reasons ... FXCM man...

oopss ... you're talking bout pending order?? never also ... lol

it might be your margin

you sure on this?
i know it has been skyrocketing from 0.95xx to yesterday near parity or just slightly below at .9996. but soon after, it has been dropping, now its only 0.9857.
it's more than 100 pips dropped, sigh should have close my long trade when it was at it's peak near to parity.... (i longed since 0.9800 like that) make a lot lesser today compared to yesterday.

err... what is parity?

My Gold pending order was deleted everyday on server time 23:59 everyday, even though the actual price never hit my pending order. It left a comment of "[deleted] Good for day" . Broker side said that it is a normal action (from server) to clear all pending orders for all CFD/ gold. You are using FXCM ? maybe I switch my gold trading to FXCM . Thanks for your info.

Parity

In mathematics, parity refers to the evenness or oddness of an integer, which for a binary number is determined only by the least significant bit.

says uncle wiki.

means 1usd = 1aud.

so what's your comment again please?

How much spread if FXCM offering for gold?

Mine is GTC : good till cancel.. other option is on a day period ..

price hit your entry?

i.e: buy at 1600.00 .. price hit 1600 > sure you will not get filled as the actual entry is ...
{1600.00 - .50 (assuming 50pips spread) = actual entry: 1599.50 ... this is the price that need to be hit to get your 1600 entry)
