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!

Gold Chart of The Week for Monday December 2nd

Each Week our trading partners at INO.com/MarketClub will be providing us a chart of the week as analyzed by a member of their team. We hope that you enjoy and learn from this new feature.

Weekly Gold Report (December 2^nd through December 6^th)

We begin the final month of 2013 with a week full of important economic data. From every major market in the world, there are reports and interviews scheduled that collectively should provide some nice volatility over the next five trading days.

In the United States, we will hear from multiple FED Members throughout the week, including Bernanke, Fischer, and Evans. There are also scheduled releases of manufacturing, GDP, Consumer Confidence, and most importantly Unemployment figures from the Government and the Private Sector.


Economic Policy will be decided by the Central Banks in Australia, England and Europe. It should be interesting to see what we hear from the ECB this week. Last month Interest Rates were dropped by .25, but the decision did not seem to have the impact one would expect from such a move by the Central Bank.
I believe the most important Currency to follow these days is the Japanese Yen.

After years of being a “flight-to-safety” favorite amongst Currencies, the Yen has spent the better part of the year getting clobbered due to the BOJ’s firm stance on easing the Currency. We are fast approaching this Summers low print, and it should be interesting to see how it performs at this price in the final month of the year.

Gold Futures begin the week at the lower end of last week’s range and show very few signs of bargain hunter buying. I still believe that, in the absence of weakness in the equity markets, Gold stands virtually no chance of a recovery rally. If hedge funds grow tired of buying new high prints in equities this week, we may see a bounce in Gold but I think it will take a string of disappointments in the US and abroad to see such a scenario take place. I doubt this is the week for it.

The Gold Meltdown – What Happened?

In today’s Trade School video, we’re going to be looking into what caused the recent meltdown in gold prices. How could gold drop so precipitously in such a short time, given what’s going on in the world? Did it have anything to do with the ETF GLD or was a country forced to sell its precious metals to satisfy creditors?

We will share with you how you could have systematically made money in gold using our Trade Triangle technology, which has produced some very positive results over the years.

Since 1975, there have been 13 bear markets with an average drop around 14%. This would put gold below the $1,300 level, around $1,280.

In this short 4 minute video on gold, we will illustrate the importance of having a solid game plan and a market proven approach. We will go through each trade in gold and share with you the results of using our Trade Triangle approach from the beginning of the year.

This approach is not for everyone, but we think you will agree that the results certainly speak for themselves.

Phil Streible: Europe's Troubles to Boost Gold in 2012

Phil Streible, senior commodities broker at R.J. O'Brien, says gold trading will be thin this week before climbing to $2000 in 2012.




Here is a preview of our MarketClub Trade Triangle Chart Analysis and Smart Scan technology

Has the Gold and Silver Market Topped Out?

Has the Gold and Silver market topped out? And have we seen the bottom in the Equity markets?

Today, Gold and Silver confirmed that they have topped out for the time being. The Equity markets are another story, and I’m not quite sure that we have seen a bottom put in place for those markets.

Gold futures closed down $100.00 an ounce at $1,761.00 today. Prices closed near the session low today in a mammoth sell off that featured profit taking, weak long liquidation and some panic selling that did do some psychological damage to the market, but no serious chart damage, yet.

There was strong follow through selling pressure Wednesday, after sharp losses scored on Tuesday, and a big and bearish "key reversal" down was confirmed, which is one early technical clue that a market top is in place. While it should be noted that twice this month bearish key reversals have occurred on the daily bar chart and prices went on to score new highs, the size of this key reversal is massive and makes it more powerful than the others.

Yesterday’s negative market action set the tone for the gold market today. The Japanese candlestick negative (bearish) engulfing line will be confirmed with a lower close today. Long Term, intermediate term traders should stay disciplined and hold onto long positions and protect profits with money management stops. Short term traders should now be on the sidelines and waiting for a new long entry point.

Gold Trend Analysis.....

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 = + 75

Surprising New Video: Gold or Silver....Which is the Right Precious Metal for You?

Sure, gold dominates the headlines. But which would you rather buy right now, gold or silver?

Gold has incredible amounts of emotional baggage attached to it, while silver is in a different league, at least for the moment. This video will show you two indicators that can help you capture either market when and if the upward trend decides to resume.

With all of the world's troubles, there are plenty of reasons why one would think that both of these markets should be much higher. The question is, why aren't they? We think that the video you're about to watch will help answer some of those questions.

In today's short educational trading video, we put together comparisons between these two markets and why the obvious choice may not be the best choice.

As always our videos are free to watch and there are no registration requirements. Please feel free to leave a comment and tell us what you think of the video and also what you think of gold and silver.

A Short Gold Position Could Pay Off With This Scenario

In this 4 minute video we explain exactly what we mean by a "short gold position." It does not mean we are bearish on gold, however the scenario we point out in this video could make money by being short gold and long another important market.

The video points out what the scenario is, and which market you should be long in, against a short gold position. This is an interesting twist and a video you shouldn't miss.

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.

The Big Secret Behind Gold's $100 Collapse

The question many investors are asking themselves today is, just what happened to the price of gold?

Did the world change? Did the problems in Europe go away? Did all the states manage to find funding to cover their deficits?

No, none of that happened, but gold still dropped $100.

It's all about market perception and timing, two things we've talked about many times before on the Trader's Blog. I don't know about you, but I remember when gold was over $1,400 an ounce and all I could see on TV where ads from gold companies extolling the virtues of buying gold as it is real money. Since the fall, I expect we'll see fewer of these advertisements on TV and in print. So what did happen to gold?

Well, for starters there were some key technical levels broken. If you're a gold trader, but not a technical trader, you really need to learn how to read charts and see what other traders are doing. A good way to understand that is by taking advantage of our free technical trading course from MarketClub....Just Click Here to get those 10 free lessons.

Secondly, there did not appear to be any other news to drive this market higher. When that happens, markets tend to fall under their own weight, and as many retail investors purchased gold, there was nobody on the other side of the market to support gold.

So the question is, is the move over in gold? That's a tricky one. I want to show you in today's video exactly how we're looking at this very emotional market. Every time we have created a video indicating that there would be some pullback in gold, we were bombarded by the gold bugs saying that we're crazy. When you see a market pullback as much as gold has, you have to have some respect for the market itself.

If we look at the price of gold today at approximately $1,330, it pretty much equates to what happened in the last 30 years when gold was trading at a high of $850 an ounce. If you factor in inflation over the last 30 years, gold is probably lower now than it was 30 years ago. So how good an investment is gold? I think gold is more of a barometer of fear than anything else. Clearly there are other investments in the marketplace that have better returns.

Let's get back to gold and what we think will happen. In this short video we analyze the market using our "Trade Triangles", the Williams%R, and the MACD indicator.

As always our videos are free to watch and there are no registration requirements. If you like what you see please comment on our blog and feel free to Tweet or email your friends. I think there's an important takeaway message in this video, what goes up, must come down. Enjoy the video.

New Video: Where is Gold Headed and How Can You Prepare?

The gold market has been pushing out its normal level of frustration and anxiety for the past several weeks.

So the question becomes, is the gold market pausing to move higher, and of course the Bulls would argue this, or is it forming the head and shoulders top that many technicians are looking for? Of course, this would be a bearish sign for gold if this technical formation is completed.

We've just finished a short video that shows you what we're looking at right now in gold and how I think it is going to be resolved. The video is a little over 2 minutes. It's quick and to the point while supplying you with what you need to take your place in or out of this market.

New Video - It's more important to the market than Ireland, Greece, Portugal, and Spain Combined

It's more important to the market than Ireland, Greece, Portugal, and Spain combined

The trials and tribulations of these four countries (that have run up huge deficits) have been well known for quite some time. What is more important in my opinion is not the size of the debt, which is staggering, but rather what is going on with market perception.

Market perception trumps everything else out there. Market perception trumps market fundamentals every time. Market perception is the one card that the government cannot control. It is the card that can potentially give the individual trader an edge.

So what is market perception? Well, have you ever noticed that when some big world event happens, or a new "hot" IPO hits the markets, traders expect that market to go in the talked about direction and typically it does. What doesn't get talked about is how the market then corrects itself and the technicals really come into play.

The only real way to avoid the trap is through the use of technical analysis, or in the case of MarketClub, our "Trade Triangle" technology. This technology doesn't read the newspapers, doesn't watch cable news, and is independent of everything else except the market itself.

What is the most important thing to most investors? I would have to say it is the bottom line. If you're not making money in the market, then you're doing something wrong. Maybe you're paying more attention to the talking heads on cable, or to the nightly news, but you're not really paying attention to market perception.

I was lucky enough when I began my career to learn about technical analysis very early on. I said to myself, when it can be this easy there must be something more that I'm missing. It was then that I made the mistake of looking at all these other so called tools like fundamentals, earnings reports, etc. You name it, I looked at it.

One day I finally got smart and realized that I had already found the "true gold" in trading by using technical analysis.

I was just watching some talking head author on TV and they were saying that technical analysis is so 1920's and old technology. Of course, the person who was saying that was looking to sell copies of their book.

I said to myself, boy oh boy, not to look at technical analysis, which is like the DNA of the market, is a huge mistake. I can see people going out and buying this author's book and being led down the wrong path. I will not name the book as readers of this gobbledygook are going to spin their wheels only to find that it really doesn't work.

Let's keep things simple. That is the secret to successful trading.

At MarketClub we tend to look at the market in a very simple fashion. Let me explain; the market can only do three things: it can go up, it can go down, and it can go sideways. In life there are very few things that you can simplify as easily as that.

So using MarketClub's "Trade Triangles" you are able to determine when the market is going up, in which case you want to be long, and when the market's going down, in which case we want to be short or out of the market.

Now of course we do filter the "Trade Triangles" of MarketClub to help avoid trading losses. With any kind of trading or investing program the risk of loss is always there. The key to success is how you manage those losses. Are the losses small enough as to not bite into your capital in a major way?

Again, when you're looking at market fundamentals or other ways to trade, they really don't tell you when to get out. Obvious examples of this would be the Enron scandal or the recent GM debacle that took unwary investors to the poor house.

But it's hard to fake a market saying everything is great, when the market is heading south. So what is an investor to think? I believe you have to trust your eyes and the direction of the market. After all, that's what makes up your bottom line.

In today's video we're going to be looking at one or two markets and how the "Trade Triangles" are positioned right now. We are not predicting what's going to happen in the future. We are simply going to look at the purity of the "Trade Triangles" and how they can help investors with the most important market element of all, market perception.

As always our videos are free to view and there are no registration requirements.

So watch and enjoy "It's more important to the market than Ireland, Greece, Portugal, and Spain Combined"

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.

Oil N' Gold: Gold Weekly Technical Outlook Oct. 9th

Gold rose to another record high of 1366 last week before turning sideway. A short term top is possibly formed and some consolidations would be seen initially this week below 1366 level. Though, strong support should be seen at 38.2% retracement of 1155.6 to 1366 at 1285.6 to contain downside and bring up trend resumption. Break of 1366 will target 161.8% projection of 1084.8 to 1266.5 from 1155.6 at 1449.6 next.

In the bigger picture, rise from 1155.6 is treated as the fifth wave of the five wave sequence from 1044.5, which should also be fifth wave of the rally from 681 (2008 low). Recent acceleration suggests that current rally would probably extend further to 161.8% projection of 931.3 to 1227.5 from 1044.5 at 1449.6 before completion. Though, we're aware of long term projection target of 100% projection of 253 to 1033.9 from 681 at 1462 and we'd anticipate strong resistance from there to bring medium term correction finally.

In the long term picture, rise from 681 is treated as resumption of the long term up trend from 1999 low of 253. The anticipated correction didn't happen and gold will now likely climb further to 100% projection of 253 to 1033.9 from 681 at 1462 before making a top.
