My equities strategy is different at it's core. I'm long or short depending on where we're at in the business cycle. If we have pullback like we did in December 2018 I increase risk through buying instruments like UPRO. When there are warning signs ...

Have a great weekend everyone.

XAU/USD & XAG/USD - Gold & Silver Traders Thread

I have two methodologies: US Equities and everything else. Equities I treat equities different because I've found a lot more useful indicators for them. For example, the Advance Decline line works well for spotting tops, but isn't available for any ...

How do YOU trade?

Bullion coins from around the world!

I'm partial to the American Eagle. I plan on buying one for my son, he's due in November and a gold coin would make for a nice birthday gift. Of course, the collector in me wants to buy them all.

Paul Tudor Jones came out earlier today saying gold is his favorite place to be for the next couple years. He's calling for it to go to 1,700!

Metals Mash Up

You're probably right about that. Still, I like keeping an eye on ES, GC, CL, and ZN to see where money is flowing and see if the different markets are telling the same story.

XAU/USD & XAG/USD - Gold & Silver Traders Thread

Thanks Don, I configured the default VolumeProfile indicator and came up with something relatively similar. I think the key difference is that it doesn't consider up volume vs down volume. The code is complicated for this one so it isn't something I ...
