AJ all i was doing was reviewing the trend, which I correctly analysed last night. I even said, when gold was trading at around 1262, that i'd like it to close above 1270 tonight but it showing no signs of momentum and I'm doubtful it will happen. I was right.

I'm being patient about thiss. My thesis was sound for going short before the fed meeting, uptrend broke down and I was expecting a hawkish statement. Many saw the same thing, although chose to ignore it. Many also believed the fed would be more hawkish, it wasn't. Everyone was shocked. And I got out.

I can't guarantee it's going to drop right now. But, in my view, this is just another bear market rally. Far enough if others don't agree, it's called the stock market for a reason. While others try and make a mockery out my losses, at least I am putting my money where my mouth is, unlike some of the gutless people on the long side that just want to have a dig when I get it wrong. My first trade was a disaster, which blew up on bias. My second short was just wrong. I knew it and got out. I regret my first loss but not my second. I could have been right, if you never test your ideas, you'll never make money. Like I've said before, you just need to win more than you lose. I favour the downside but I'm not biased to it. Where was the 1270 close I wanted last night?

I notice you always a bit too late entering every short, maybe you waited too long & a bit hesitant. When you decided to enter the short trade, the tide has already turned/just turned. Just my observation. Maybe should adopt "now now now" technique ?
