Hello Traders,
For 2015 I would like to wish all of you discipline and patience in your trading!
Monthly unemployment numbers tomorrow. Many markets will have volatile reaction so be aware of the report and others that will come in later.
The main market I am curious about is gold. Currently oversold but in a nice down trend so the big question is which way will it play? test previous lows or snap? Perhaps both….Weekly chart for your review with circles marking mostly lower highs and lower lows….:

Hello Traders,
Gold – What’s Next?
From what I understand China holds quite a bit of physical gold, leaving the door open for additional sales in the future.
Gold sold off in a big way Sunday night (July 20th trading session) following a weak close right on support levels the prior week.
News came out that a big bullion dealer from China sold a very large amount of bullion in a matter of 2 minutes, sending gold prices down to 1080 for a short period of time before bouncing back up.
From what I understand, China holds quite a bit of physical gold and that leaves the door open for additional sales in the future.

Hello Traders,
I just wrote this one for forexmagnates.com yesterday and wanted to share with you.
Silver Futures at the Crossroads
After a long period of declining prices we finally saw a significant bounce on silver futures over these past couple of weeks. The question I ask myself is: Is this a good place to sell, is this just a bounce/short covering and the trend lower will resume?
OR
Is this rally a beginning of a breakout to the upside and trend reversal?
Only time will provide the correct answer but until then I think the following two strategies are worth looking at:
1. Sell futures right around the $17 level and place a stop on the short along with another stop to go long if market breaks above $17.30 (see chart below).
2. Sell call option premium on rallies and sell put option premium on sell offs as we take the assumption that the market will be trading between $16 and $18 for the next few weeks. Selling premium is a dangerous strategy with unlimited risk.
As I don’t see any major changes in the fundamental picture for silver, I like to use the chart and technical studies in an attempt to come up with a good risk-reward trade.

Hello Traders,

In hindsight it always looks easier…ECB announces QE – “We should have known it was going up….” In reality the market was very jittery to start the cash session with some very sharp moves lower before it started running up and up….
I think that when this is all said and done, one day down the road, the end result will NOT be pretty for global markets but until then we need to trade what there is and not what we think should be…..
