Gold : Game Plan

  • Was short at 1893 but got taken out for only a small profit as confidence was shaken by unfortunate circumstances.
  • Monthly : Single black reversal candle is not be a reliable sell signal in itself. Respect uptrend still until a more reliable top is confirmed by a formation of several candles. Big picture = uncertain, stay out. Parabolic top = huge down possible anytime.
  • Weekly : Going down.
  • Daily :Double top around 1920. Neckline 1702. If confirmed, $200 worth of downside to $1500 possible.
  • Plan : Can't bring myself to sell now having just snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Re-establish long (ETF) only from around $1576 downwards, if ever. Remember parabolic corrections will almost always over-shoot.
  • Lesson : Remember there is never "this one is different". Similar experience (spread can't possibly go negative) in ED spreads in August. Trust the charts and only the charts.
