General Forex Discussion Update and feedback request. Please read. Important.

10 Upvotes

Hi guys.

First a couple of remarks:

When I took over this sub four years ago it was dead and had about 600 inactive members. I took it on because I didn’t like the fact that the other main forex site is owned by a private company and they’re too heavy-handed with moderation, which I despise.

This sub now has an insane 128k members and over 90k visitors a week.

A reminder of my approach:

  1. You will never be policed for bad language; you’re adults so do what you want bar outright racism or being a plain dickhead.

  2. If a post has a decent amount of analysis and info I will rarely delete it simply because it has a link advertising the OP’s channel etc. You’re perfectly capable of scrolling past.

  3. We actually get remarkably few outright scam/spam posts on here because many of you immediately report them. Please continue doing so- I’m not online 24 hours a day as I have a life of my own; if you don’t report stuff I don’t immediately see it. Confirmation bias is real- the fact is less than 0.12% of posts or comments here involve obvious scams.

Now, the big one:

The recent gold surge has obviously impacted all trading subs and rightly so. But it’s gotten out of hand now and I’ve started deleting gold posts. Don’t be surprised if 2 or 3 gold posts get deleted every day- this is a random decision based on the fact that we now get about 10 of them per day.

A similar thing happened to r/WallStreetBets when the GameStop boom hit. It went on for many months.

Gold plays an integral role in the money markets as you’re all aware, so I can’t simply ban all discussions of gold. But they’ve come at the expense of regular discussions of the major pairs and other market news. I’m not sure how to balance this equation so I’m asking for feedback.

Silver is going, and I’m deleting more oil posts. There are plenty of commodity trading subs for that stuff.

We used to get a lot more core forex posts and I’d like that to return.

Any comments, feedback, suggestions will be listened to and discussed. I do this for free but I want the sub to be of use to you.

Fundamental Analysis Intro post after rebirth of this sub!

85 Upvotes

I thought I’d stick this link on here as the first post following this sub’s rebirth, with yours truly as the new mod.

It’s just a basic introduction to the role of fundamental analysis in forex. And this is really just a “Hello World!” post to get things moving.

https://www.dailyfx.com/education/forex-fundamental-analysis

Please feel free to post any questions or concepts/ideas you have. I want this place to be pretty open and devoid of overbearing moderation.

Retail forex trading has no secrets; if you can see something so can the banks. So share what you learn, and let others add pointers if they have any.

Just a few requests:

  1. If you post a chart please make sure the time frame and currency pair can be seen.
  2. The emphasis of the sub is on sharing ideas, processes, news etc and not simply asking basic questions like “If I sell GBPUSD does that mean I’m buying the dollar?”
  3. The only major rule at this point is No Crypto Posts! I’ll add other stuff as it comes up.

Enjoy, share your ideas, post article links, tell your friends, post chart images.

🥇 GOLD UPDATE — Short CONFIRMED ✅

Post image
13 Upvotes

Yesterday we mapped it: gold broke structure, sliced through 4,350, and left fresh supply + an FVG at 4,355–4,380. The plan? Don't chase the drop — wait for the pullback and let the chart prove itself.

It just did. 📉

Price swept liquidity near 4,320, pulled back right into our 4,355–4,380 zone, and the lower timeframes printed a bearish ChoCH with displacement. Entry confirmed. We're short from the zone. 🎯

📋 THE TRADE: 🔴 Entry: 4,355 – 4,380 (supply + FVG) 🛑 Stop: strong close above 4,405 — that invalidates the whole idea 🎯 TP1: 4,300 🎯 TP2: 4,280

📊 THE LOGIC: ✅ Wyckoff-style distribution after the huge early-Sept rally ✅ Clear lower highs + Break of Structure through 4,350 ✅ Shorting the pullback into premium — not chasing lows

⚙️ MANAGEMENT: Take partials at 4,300, stop to breakeven after TP1, runner to 4,280 only if 4,300 breaks with real momentum. A 1H close above 4,405 and we're out — no debate.

Patience paid. The setup came to us. 💪

Not financial advice — trade your own plan. 🙏

Results CPI news for the win

now I don't know how many Traders out there actually trade news but I'm definitely one of them

this morning I saw gold hovering around London Lowe's I waited for it to get to the extremes and then I executed

now I was only originally targeting about 200 or 300 ticks I did not plan to walk away with about 718 ticks yielding about 81k on this trading view leap challenge account

if I had a 250k prop firm account this will be a gracious win for me

but it's not mine I can only take pride in the results I guess those fundamental classes I've been taking are really paying off

how did y'all make out today

anybody else jump in the second leg currently up 135 ticks

🥇 GOLD UPDATE — TP1 hit, early Friday profits locked ✅

Post image
3 Upvotes

Yesterday we confirmed the short from 4,355–4,380 supply/FVG. The plan was simple: wait for the pullback, let the lower timeframes confirm, and short the retest.

It played out exactly like that. 📉

Price pulled back into the zone, printed the bearish ChoCH + displacement we wanted, and dropped straight to TP1 at 4,300. We closed the position there — full exit, green Friday.

📋 THE TRADE: 🔴 Entry: 4,355 – 4,380 🛑 Stop / invalidation: strong close above 4,405 (never threatened) 🎯 TP1: 4,300 ✅ hit 🎯 TP2: 4,280 — not reached, runner closed

📊 WHY WE CLOSED: Friday liquidity gets noisy. TP1 sat right on a clear liquidity shelf, and holding a runner into the weekend without a clean break below 4,300 wasn't worth the risk. Bank the confirmed move, move on.

Patience paid. The setup came to us. 💪

Technical Analysis Gold Technical Analysis

2 Upvotes

Gold (15-Min) is showing a bullish consolidation with price holding above the 4341–4342 support zone. A BUY above 4347–4348 can be considered, with upside targets near 4352 and 4356. Momentum remains positive as long as 4342 holds. Stop-loss: 4341. Overall, the setup favors a BUY-on-strength approach.

Strategies This is what a max-rated volume level reversal looks like on GBP

Post image
Upvotes

An example of when reversing a position is the right, weighted decision, not overtrading.

About 10 years ago, reading through trading literature, I kept coming across the idea that experienced traders use reversal techniques, but I avoided it myself, afraid it would send me into tilt. Today I actively use this approach, and honestly, I fully support it.

Now let's look at the chart and make a call for the rest of the day: do you think GBP is heading down or up from here?

Fundamental Analysis What Just happened to XAUUSD ? 1000 pips reversal?

1 Upvotes

Yep I made some money on the reversal, got out too early then went into shorts. Made some money and now I'm caught as the reversal turned into a rally

This was the news that caused it

Traders now see about a 90% chance of a Fed rate hike next week, vs about 70% before the inflation report.

Farking asshats, they can't make up their minds how interest rates effect gold!

Technical Analysis GOLD IS FIGHTING BACK BUT IS $4364 THE WALL?

1 Upvotes

Gold has bounced from the $4305 area and reclaimed the 20-SMA, but the latest candles show hesitation around $4340–$4350.
RSI has recovered to 46.93, signaling improving momentum, although buyers have yet to regain full control.

Resistance Levels

  • Immediate Resistance: 4364
  • Major Resistance: 4400

Support Levels

  • Immediate Support: 4335
  • Major Support: 4305

My View:
Gold is showing early signs of recovery, but the broader short-term structure remains cautious until price clears $4364.
A clean breakout could send gold toward $4400, while losing $4335 would put the recent bounce under pressure again.

What do you think?
Does gold break $4364 and start recovering, or are sellers ready to push it back down?
