gongo, buying on a pullback is one thing

But buying after the pullback has stopped is when you should look to buy. That's where moving averages help. I don't know what timeframe you trade (5-minute, 15-minute, hourly, daily, etc.) but whatever it is watch for a crossover upwards before you buy, confirmed by a stochastics cross or a MACD rising above zero.

Here's an example on $XAU

I used 5 and 8 emas but you can experiment with others until you find ones you like (3&6, 5&10, etc).

This simple, mechanical method was laboriously taught to me by a savvy old trader I met, I think his name is FLACK, or something like that . . . . <g>
