Gold Bullish or Bearish

Recommended Posts

I'm long at 1609.5, stop at 01.25. If it spits me out, I will get back in at a higher or lower price.

 

Patuca, I am assuming you are short.

MM if i were you I would take my 9 or 10 points profit and get out of ES as vol appears too low to keep driving price up. You did good. :applaud:

 

I am still waiting on the ES. Gold turned out well on the intraday prediction i made and may even turn out ok on the daily swing prediction. Capt bob should have cleaned house by now on the intraday gold?

:cheers: as concerns my trade in the ES am i allowed to move my stoploss? I made a tactical ERROR in stoploss placement and am getting close to being stopped out. Of course, i am asking before the stoploss gets hit.

 

I came very close to getting taken out. You do what you need to do.

Hi Patuca

 

Yep .Long gone. My wife is already spending the money.

Now I have to start all over :confused:

 

I would like to take my hat off to Mighty Mouse

He called the trade correctly..... in advance

If hes got 10 points @ $25 x10 contracts= $2500 . Fantastic :)

Thats R25000 in my currency. Enough to buy a very good horse. ;)

And maybe hes got a bit more , and maybe hes still holding.

LOL women can spend money fast.

 

MM still hasn't gotton out..at least he hasn't reported it. I would have grabbed my 10 points profit. I am still in the ES and expecting it to go down over next few days. My trade was not an intraday trade but a swing trade from a day chart. I still expect the ES to head south. I am not stopped out ...yet....:)

 

From an intraday point of view MM hit the direction correct at least partially as he was expecting to add to his long around 1635..1640..and on up. But because of vol if I were him I would grab my intraday profits now. He could always jump back in if it heads towards 1635 which i doubt it will.

then on the other hand MM may be playing a swing trade from the daily chart like i am and he is expecting it to continue up tomm and next few days. that would make sense as the chart i posted was a daily chart for all to look at and i indicated clearly my trade was a swing trade from the daily chart when i gave my entry points. I was not sure if MM was referring to an intraday trade for today and a swing trade over the next few days. That was never clear to me. But it would make sense that he meant a swing trade from the daily chart and if so then it makes sense why he is still holding. I am sure he knows what he is doing. I am just not sure if he meant today he would add at 1635 then..1640...etc. I suspect he mean't over the next few days:confused: :confused:

capt Bob my previous chopped in half bar pst # 557 refers to swing trading on a daily chart. Now if I were looking at intraday trading on a 5 min chart say for just tomm i would jump in long on any break of the last high (i.e.) one or two tick break. Stop loss if one uses one I would place one tick below the low of the reversal bar i.e. The 1234 bar. Now here is what i would do: Exit one half of position on any two legged rise. I suspect twice the reward for the actual risk is probable. maybe even more. I would exit rest on any decent profit after the two legged rise. Of course, I would manage the trade. I would try to get at least a 1:1 r/r depending on ACTUAL risk, not initial risk (i.e. Stop loss) i would rejoice AFTER profitible trade is completed...cry if i get stopped out.....:helloooo: :cool:

 

capt Bob if you followed my opinion on the intraday gold trade you entered long at 1234.90 (1 tick over fridays close) and if you exited your total position at 1255 as you said that was your max then you made 20.1 points. Gold made a low of 1224.1 so your actual risk was 1234.90 - 1224.1 = 10.8 pts. Your R/R was nearly 2:1 that is a good intraday positive traders equation. You did good ..congraulations! I wouldn't tell my wife next time if i were you. The daily swing trade in gold has so far not materialized today.

you are suggesting that I get out of a winning trade while you stay in a trade that is down 20 points?

 

is that because even though it is going up, it really should be going down?

yes, i suggest get out if you are doing an intra day trade. Why give back 10 points? It has already dropped down to 1610.75 (almost to your entry) since i mentioned to you getting out. Of course, if you are day swinging and not intraday swing trading then of course it makes sense for you to stay in. I am just not sure if you are intraday trading or daily swing trading? Perhaps you could clarify that?

 

I am daily swing trading and still see the move as south. It is basically still a sideways market from a daily chart. :beer:

Hi Patuca

Yes . I was referring to you and you were not scared to reply , and reply with very good comments. You are a good person. I think just lonely , living on your own in the jungles of Belize.

thanks capt Bob...helps the ego...many don't like me...actually i am not in Belize at the moment but in the States in the State of Alabama. I have been doing some fishing on the tallapoosa river. It is nice to get away from people...they make too much noise for me..it is quiet on the river.

ok thanks for the clarification. You are definetly still good and may be helped with a last hour surge..if that happens..

 

Capt Bob is done for the day...wife is out sending money. He is looking at coffee. Got any recomendations for him?

 

I don't trade coffee but i could take a peek at a chart if he would send it. Since he likes intraday trading a 5 minute chart will tell the story..might even have a secret code??

south it tis...if i were you swing trading off a daily chart i would move that stoploss down past 1604.. 5 or 6 point stoploss is too tight for daily swing trading IMO. If you move it down you have a 45% chance the ES will turn back up for you. i only have a 55% chance it will continue south.. I still stick with that view.

You still gonna keep that stop? You will probally get taken out in night session.

 

Not changing anything. If I get stopped out, I will look to get back in higher. I have time to do these trades this week; otherwise, I trade a lot longer term than this. I will give this until about next Monday.

ok but it looks like you ought to give this trade a fighting change by opening up the stop loss. A 5 pt stoploss on a swing trade from a daily chart is a pretty small stop loss and you will most likely get taken out on these 2 contracts. That will put you losing 5 points on two contracts. At one point you were ahead about 10 pts on each contract. As of market close today you have an almost 50% chance of the ES going in your favor but it seems to me you need more wiggle room unless you in fact do think you have a higher % probability, so you are comfortable with a measley 5 point stop loss. I guess everybody has their own way of trading but i would have grabbed 10 points as long as my traders equation was profitable and then re-entered later if i figured my original profit objective was still reachable.

I appreciate you attempting to help me manage my trade, but the only time I move a stop loss is if I am bailing out of a position; I simply exit the trade rather than move my stop. I can't think of a time when I moved my stop further from my entry that turned out to be a good idea.

 

i have some questions about your trade:

 

When I was up 10, you were down 25-26 and you thought it a good idea for me to get out and for you to move your stop to 1250 area. Your trade only went about 1 point in your favor, why did you increase your risk from 25 to almost 60 es points? Why not bail out of the loser and get back in if the trade equation for your short was still favorable?

    • there is no avoiding loses to be honest, its just how the market is. you win some and hopefully more, but u do lose some. 
    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet.   The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice.   Of course, these types of gains are rare. And they happen only once in a blue moon. That’s exactly why it’s important to notice when the conditions start to look familiar.   Not after the move. Not once it's on CNBC.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
