I think gold trading is very risky and gold trading can only be done after you have big capital because in gold trading it is open and for gold trading you want to have smart information about trading and smart skills about trading. many people try to trade gold but only get a little profit just because of expertise. and gold today is not for the long term. because the bubble burst and the price dropped, we still can't say it saved heaven and took the old position. I know when it started to sink and I am just one of those people that has collapsed because of it. I think it's on a downtrend now but who can say that gold is in a downtrend? hedges are still hedges of their faith and their average long position, but on the other hand fear occurs and some of them take short. it is an epic battle and ofcourse one of them will lose money. I don't trade gold anymore because it makes everything disappear
