The trading I do is technically not trading but gambling - spread betting. Betting is free from any tax in the UK. You can win a penny or a trillion pounds it is all tax free. This is why spread betting was invented to take advantage of this tax ...

I am looking through the futures on the GFT platform. Long list. The charts are not very good. Dealbook charts are great biut until the recent weeks the candles are well pixelated let's say, lots of gaps. Now the candles are getting more like a ...

Do we have a bearish flag there breaking Dan's trend line?

Netdania doesn't do gold futures but it does it in USD, EUR, GBP. My platform does an October gold contract along with silver, copper, platinum and palladium futures. However this is a spread betting platform with GFT, so its only available for UK ...

That long wick bearish bar - interesting. On the shorter time frames you often see a chain of relatively long bearish bars, where price takes a bit of a dive over a few minutes. Then price reverses on itself and creates a long wick. Like price has ...

Xtrade we are of the same mind. I am lucky I live in Birmingham UK. I can buy bullion gold from Birmingham Mint. There is no tax on it and it only costs a few pounds more than the spot price. I can be completely confident it is the real thing. url ...

I have only just started to follow gold, so people will no doubt be familiar with all this but anyway. It is interesting China come out negative on gold. Frankly I don't believe it. There is so much debit in the world. Even today Japan admitted it ...

I wonder if this was a mistake and he means sell, well at least sell now. The more I learn about gold and silver the more I gasp at the market manipulation. The anticipated move for gold will be down, albeit briefly, until it continues its parabolic ...

No they are pretty good at doing it on their own. They have lots of practice.

The EUR tanked against the dollar because the Swiss National Bank stop intervening in the EUR/CHF. This was invitation to short this pair and it tanked with no CB intervention. Now as we all know one currency is connected to the other. So with EUR ...

I am following several EUR pairs. They all tanked, the bomb doors opened and EUR went down like the Kamakazi slide at Wet 'N Wild.

EUR/AUD I have been following this pair very closely. Until this evening I was unsure whether the bearish trend was over. It has now just started to come down. Price has continued down for months but during this time has episodes where prices goes ...

I'm not saying they keep the currency - they exchange it for gold. I believe gold fairs quite well in tough economic conditions. Clearly they aren't buying AUD from the reports, but surely the Australian gold mines would accept AUD for their gold.

EURUSD

Interesting - maybe buy AUD or the rand and go direct to the Australian and SA gold mines, buy $45B of gold and stick two fingers up at the $$$$$ The Australian mines will ideally want AUD not USD.

Its like taking a Bandaid off - they are fighting back but the Bandaid has got to come off and it is going to hurt twice as much for struggling so. See it as a legal way of gets some taxes you paid back.
