The Odds Are In Your Favor To Trade Gold This Quarter

Using MarketClub's weekly and daily Trade Triangles, I have found that over the last 6 1/2 years, the second quarter of the year has shown the most consistent profits in gold. These past results showed a quarterly gain on average of $7,104.83 on one futures contract.

Gold (XAUUSDO) enjoyed a nice move up earlier in the year, reaching a high of $1393.35 and has pulled back to an important Fibonacci support area. I want to watch this market very carefully and wait for the weekly Trade Triangle to turn green to get bullish on gold. That's not to say I am not longer term bullish, it only means that my timing will kick in when the weekly Trade Triangle turns into a green Trade Triangle.

Besides the Fibonacci support area, the RSI indicator is also at a very low level, similar to that of December 2013.

Trading Results

Q2 of 2008            $965.00
Q2 of 2009            $870.00
Q2 of 2010         $7,057.00
Q2 of 2011         $6,700.00
Q2 of 2012         $4,223.00
Q2 of 2013       $31,260.00
TOTAL             $42,629.00
AVE GAIN         $7,104.83

The results are based on signals using MarketClub's real time spot gold prices and margin of $8,333. This particular trading strategy and results are based on trading one futures contract, both from the long and short side. An ETF could be substituted, but I suspect the results would be quite different.

Trading Rules

How to use MarketClub's Trade Triangles to trade gold:

Use the weekly Trade Triangle to determine the major trend and initial positions. Use the daily Trade Triangles for timing purposes.

Gold entry and exit signals are generated from the spot Gold (XAUUSDO) chart.

Let me give you an example: if the last weekly Trade Triangle is GREEN, this indicates that the major trend is up for that market. You would use the initial GREEN weekly Trade Triangle as an entry point. You would then use the next RED daily Trade Triangle as an exit point. You would only reenter a long position if and when a GREEN daily Trade Triangle kicked in.

You would then use the next RED daily Trade Triangle as an exit point, provided that the GREEN weekly Trade Triangle is still in place and the trend is positive for that market. The reverse is true when you have a RED weekly Trade Triangle. You would use the initial RED weekly Trade Triangle as an entry point for a short position. You would then use the next GREEN daily Trade Triangle as an exit point.

Only Trade With Risk Capital

Even if the odds are in your favor, don't forget that there are no guarantees in trading and only funds that you can afford to lose should be used to trade with.

See you in the markets!

Adam weighs in ...... Is Gold Indicating Trouble Ahead?

Is it time to go long gold in a big way? Our trading partner Adam Hewison, President of INO.com and Co-creator of MarketClub, has come out with his call on gold for the near term. Are you trading with him or against him?.....

As another trading week comes to a close, it is worth noting that gold is closing at a nine week high for a Friday. I believe that this is a significant event, and believe that gold has now put in a base to move higher later this year and next year.

It's a little ironic that hedge fund traders, like George Soros, recently divested themselves of their long gold positions, as it now appears that the market has put in a major base and wants to move higher.

Our long term monthly Trade Triangle for gold continues to be in a negative mode. However, this Trade Triangle [click here to get a free trial of Adam's Trade Triangle technology] is slowly beginning to flatten out and I would not be surprised to see it change to green in the not too distant future. In today's report, I will be covering gold and a gold stock that you may want to trade, as it flashed a major buy signal today.

I will also be covering some very interesting stocks that I think have potential on the upside after their recent correction from their highs, as well as my analysis of the major markets and what I am looking for in next week's market.

Have a great trading day and a super weekend,

John Carter's "Dirty Secrets of Weekly Options".... New Video

Gold still has downward pressure to look forward to.....right?

Outside of a late week Currencies surge, there were very few fireworks to report in last week’s business. This week however, may be a different story.

Thursday and Friday of last week provided some decent movement in the Dollar and Euro, but it appeared things began in the Japanese Yen, then spilled over. Throughout the last several weeks, there have been multiple attempts to push the Yen to new lows for the year, but it always seemed that somehow the plan was foiled. After the selling pressure triggered stop-orders below support, all other Currencies had to react. There was a firm rebound in the US Dollar and an inverse move in the Euro Currency. Surprisingly, the swings in the Currencies had very little impact on outside markets. In fact, most other sectors of the markets were rather stale and choppy. A Treasury Bond auction had some impact on the 30 year bonds and 10 year Notes, but there was little else in the week that provided any excitement. The same goes for the Gold Futures. Normally, traders would use the direction the Dollar or the Stock Indexes as a guide for what to expect in the Metals, but those former relationships are no longer in play on a day to day basis.

This week, there are a few decent reports in the US and Europe that should provide some decent movement. In the United States, Retail Sales, CPI, PPI, Empire State Manufacturing, and Philly Fed reports will be worth watching. In Europe, traders will be following economic data out of Germany along with European GDP figures to provide sustained market direction in at least the Currency sector, but I am unsure whether or not it will carry over into the Metals.

The Weekly Chart of June Gold shows the Futures prices consolidating around $1425. I still believe that Gold Futures may have some further pressure ahead while the US stock indexes remain stable and strong. One thing that will be interesting to watch would be if the Gold Futures ever return to being a “flight to safety” vehicle if the stock market corrects. I will keep a tight watch on that former relationship as the stock market continues its questionable rally into uncharted territory.

Adam Hewison: We Are No Longer Bullish on Gold

A close below $1600 an ounce today would be the lowest close we have seen in this metal since July. A major trend line comes into gold at the $1500 level this week and we would expect that level to offer major support. The gold market continues to move lower, but is not yet in a full fledged bear market.

Gold has a Chart Analysis Score of -70, which equates to an emerging trend. With our monthly Trade Triangle so far remaining in a positive position we are longer term bullish on this metal. Intermediate term traders should be out of this market at the moment and on the sidelines waiting for the next signal with the weekly Trade Triangle.

Adam Hewison: The Big Picture

Let’s take a look at the big picture and what it means today. There are a number times when the markets trade erratically. When this happens, you get out of the market with some quick move either up or down against you. Then, the market immediately goes your way the next day and afterwards you say to yourself, “I should’ve stayed in!”

That’s why it’s important to look at the big picture, and the big trends. What looked like a possible reversal yesterday, did not change the big trends in the markets. It just doesn’t happen in one day.

So let’s look at the big trends in the various markets we cover. Equity markets, the big trend is down. Metal markets, the big trend is up. Crude oil, the big trend is down. The dollar index, the big trend is up. And lastly, the CRB index, the big trend is down. Providing you are trading in the direction of the major trend, you have the odds in your favor. Always remember to keep your trading logs and game plan up to date. They will help you become a better trader.

Now let's look at where the gold market is headed.....

With a Chart Analysis Score of + 55, it would appear that the gold market is in near term trading range. Providing that our monthly and weekly Trade Triangles remain intact, we want to approach this market from the long side. The Williams % R is not yet in an oversold condition. The $1,850 to $1,900 levels are resistance for gold, at the moment.

Support comes in around the $1,800 area and extends all the way down to $1750. Looking at the market, it would possibly appear as though we have put in a double top. This will only be confirmed with a close below the $1,750 level. Intermediate and long term traders should maintain long positions with the appropriate money management stops in place.

Monthly Trade Triangles for Long Term Trends = Positive
Weekly Trade Triangles for Intermediate Term Trends = Positive
Daily Trade Triangles for Short Term Trends = Negative
Combined Strength of Trend Score = + 55

Tug of War is on For Tuesday in the Gold Market....Which Side You Pulling For?

With institutional traders turning bearish on gold our partner Adam Hewison says he still expects the gold market to once again start moving higher. He says that he is not sure what the catalyst will be or what the market events will be, but still sees gold getting back on the bullish track. You think he is right?

Providing that our monthly and weekly Trade Triangles remain intact, we continue to approach this market from the long side. The Williams % R is not yet in an oversold condition, however it is fast approaching an area where it found previous support back on August 24th. The $1900 level is resistance for gold at the moment.

Support comes in around the $1800 area and extends all the way down to $1750. Looking at the market, it would possibly appear as though we have put in a double top. This will only be confirmed with a close below the $1750 level. Intermediate and long term traders should maintain long positions with the appropriate money management stops in place.

Gold closed lower due to profit taking on Monday as it consolidates some of this year's rally. The low range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening on Tuesday. Stochastics and the RSI are diverging and are turning neutral to bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near term.

Closes below last Wednesday's low crossing at 1793.80 are needed to confirm that a short term top has been posted. If October extends this year's rally into uncharted territory, upside target are hard to project.

First resistance is last Tuesday's high crossing at 1920.70. First support is last Wednesday's low crossing at 1793.80. Second support is the reaction low crossing at 1705.40.

Why is Gold Not Going Higher With All of The Turmoil in Egypt?

Despite all the turmoil in Egypt and the Arab world, gold has stubbornly refused to rally. This probably causes great concern amongst the gold bugs and the folks who are bullish on gold. As we have mentioned before many times "perception is more powerful than fundamentals."

While the gold bugs argue that the market is being manipulated, we are more realistic and respect what the market is actually doing. The big question on everyone's mind is: Why are food prices and other commodity markets soaring, while gold is dismally staying down in the $1,330 area?

MarketClub's Trade Triangles are all Red, meaning that the trend for gold is likely to remain negative or at best move in a sideways fashion. Our best estimation at this point in time is that we are going to see more sideways action and probably some recovery from current levels. However, we would like to see some concrete evidence that the market has actually put in a low and that we will see a recovery in this yellow metal in the future.

Although historically our monthly RED Trade Triangles have not been successful in gold. You would have been more successful fading the RED monthly Trade Triangle signal and going long gold.

Before getting, "gung ho" on this approach, you will be better off waiting for a green weekly trade triangle to kick in which would indicate that the market has probably made a low. That is the main reason why, we recommend using the weekly Trade Triangles for trend, and daily Trade Triangle's for timing.

In this short video, we explain what we mean and show you concrete examples of how you can use this strategy to make money. As always our videos are free to watch and there is no registration requirements. Our only request is that you tell your friends, Tweet and Facebook about this article and the video. We would also enjoy hearing from you, so please feel free to leave a comment and tell us where you think gold is headed.

What a Difference a Week Makes....Is It All Over For Gold?

A week ago everyone was cheering as gold and other commodity markets were making new highs. Last week however, things changed as everyone seemed to want to jump through the same door, at the same time, putting a great deal of downside pressure on many markets.

This phenomenon sometimes happens when people have multiple positions in multiple markets in the same direction. When they start to take profits, there is no one left to buy.

In today’s short video on gold, we show one of the clues that was given by this market all the way back in May of this year. The video runs about 4 minutes and will give you a very good idea of exactly what I’m talking about. As you know, we took profits on a 52 week rule on Tuesday around the $1,416 level and we also exited with a daily “Trade Triangle” signal on Friday at the $1,382 level.

I think traders of all skill levels will get a lot out of this short video. As always all videos are free to watch and there are no registration requirements. Enjoy the gold video.

MarketClub: We are Back in the Gold Market

From MarketClub's Adam Hewison......

After exiting all long positions at 1217.72 on 5/18, we reinstated long positions seven days later on 5/25 at 1196.57.

As many of you know who watch my videos, we use our weekly "Trade Triangles" for trend direction and our daily "Trade Triangles" for timing entry and exit points. It was those daily "Trade Triangles" that flashed a buy signal on 5/25.

Given the chaotic state of the world and all the cross currents that are running in the banking system, we would not be surprised to see gold once again climb up and challenge the $1,250 level. All of our "Trade Triangles" are green and 100% to the upside. This indicates that a strong trend is once again in place for the gold market.

The video is available for viewing now and there is no charge or registration requirement.

Gold traders are always a very vocal segment of the trading population and so we encourage you to let your voice be heard on our Trader's Blog.

Watch....We are Back in the Gold Market

All the best,

New Video: How to Take Money and Emotion Out of The Gold Market

From guest blogger Adam Hewison....

Perhaps no other market in the world elicits such emotion and passion than the world's gold market. One only has to mention gold, and theories just come out of the woodwork in regards to conspiracy, market manipulation, and a host of other less than savory subjects.

So what's a trader to do?

Regardless of how you feel about gold, this market presents some great trading opportunities that you can capitalize on using our "Trade Triangle" technology.

Now, hard core gold bugs will not subscribe to this method of trading as they prefer to buy physical gold and hold onto it or bury their bars in their backyard, and to be honest with you, there is nothing wrong with that belief.

I've been asked to update our outlook on gold, so I thought that today I would make a short video to share with you some of the points I see in the current market.

As always, our videos are free to watch and have no obligation. The only thing that we ask is that you share your views on our blog. The views can be bullish on gold or bearish on gold, the choice is yours to make.
