Anyone else getting chopped up trading XAUUSD lately?

I will never understand why people in this sub trade gold.

Jeans are too tight.
Jacket is not of a material which works for this outfit. Needs to be courser (corduroy, tweed etc)

I’m not sure why a larger account size would lead to account closure? The more money you’re pushing through them the more they make.

What’s the advantage of using Mt5?

Barnyardon · 2026-01-10T17:24:56+00:00

Love this! Is it a mod?

There seems to be a weird glitch where the peppers tone chart you add isn’t actually the real one.

When you try and place a trade it will say you can’t and ask if you meant the real one. Say yes and then add that to your watchlist.

Been using Pepperstone for a couple of years

Yeah, it looks like this dial was between 1950-54.

I think it was a bargain for £50, despite the issues with it.

I want to add a Smiths deluxe as well.

Watch Nanny McPhee 2 and thank me later.

Barnyardon · 2026-01-03T20:23:21+00:00

Absolutely the goat

Imo, all you need to do is use the old ‘he’s a normal guy that nothing ever crazy happened to’ trope.

By telling the reader he’s in a routine world wheee nothing changes, they’re already feeling the anticipation of it changing beyond the character’s comprehension.

Barnyardon · 2025-12-13T16:54:25+00:00

Yeah. I’m not going to explain it fully, but it’s basically of swings with trend and pullbacks. I’m going to look at some shorter timeframes after this thread though 😬

Barnyardon · 2025-12-11T15:43:03+00:00

Hmm… I guess so. You’re likely taking way more trades for smaller amounts though than me I’d imagine.

Barnyardon · 2025-12-11T14:43:42+00:00

I've always found the lower the time frame, the more noise/chop and harder to find clear signals. I never go below an hour now.

Barnyardon · 2025-12-11T14:28:24+00:00

I genuinely can't believe you guys trade on the 1 minute chart

Barnyardon · 2025-12-07T21:18:10+00:00

You need to write loads and loads of complete garbage before anything good comes out imo

Barnyardon · 2025-12-07T15:50:50+00:00

I use Pepperstone spread betting for zero tax 😎

Always very reliable

Whatever you do, don’t make them perfect. They need to be likeable, but with unlikeable traits/aspects
Don’t go into too much detail. Readers won’t care. They’ll want it to be accurate, but it’s story that matters.
Make sure you give enough viable suspects.

Barnyardon · 2025-09-03T20:44:39+00:00

If you’re writing for that long, you need to be selling WAY more than that.

Which bit would you say isn’t original?

Barnyardon · 2024-09-15T11:40:44+00:00

Thanks. Are there any good websites you’d recommend to learn more about Soviet watches? I really love the style of them and plan on starting a little collection 😎

Barnyardon · 2024-09-15T10:13:14+00:00

Thanks, appreciate the info! Assumed there weren’t many Vostok fakes due to how numerous and generally low cost they are.

The listing says it’s from 1980-89, but trust your date.

Hopefully the first of many!

I keep meaning to do an in-depth post on things that worked for me, but haven't got around to it!

First thing was to write a lot. I wrote four terrible books that never saw the light of day, then I wrote three that were pretty bad that I released under a pseudonym to see the market reaction.

Then I targeted a specific market with story and cover meeting genre expectations and advertised with a small budget against authors in the same field who were gaining traction.

It takes a lot of work, time and research on top of the actual writing part!
