I use algorithms to determine entry I need hence to determine price of gold future ahead of the curve.
Now we have an gold expert Yan Bei Fei who must be given duly credit.
Nevertheless I am still convinced gold rush is a huge bull trap.
Depends on what your leverage & margin is. If you're trading thin on gold, it's worth hanging in here. If you're heavy...well, gold is no one's b*tch at the moment. LIke we can explain the reason for it to go from 1180 - 1220 on Mon/Tue. But what's the reason for it to go to 1240 early morning?
I'm no expert on gold...but it's dangerous territory now. I'd make my moolah & head for the exit. Having written this, there's MORE chance of gold trading lower from here than going further.
But again, it depends on your leverage really...

Fresh rumors of a rate hike by PBoC could weigh on crude. This adds to the negative news! Will it trade lower of will they take us for a ride again,
Personally, I'm consolidating here & any drop in oil would be a buying opportunity for me...

I thought you wrote a couple of days ago you were long at 75.25? Anyway, there is massive contango - $4 - taking place in crude...certainly because Cushings is gushing...and that oil tankers are rusting in the oceans. Storage has reached its limit, perhaps?
Interesting to see if this lowers in the coming days. If not, we're heading to 70...

Was that an assertion, a premiss, an observation, a question or a reassurance?

Rather the price of future could be calculated in the same manner as the option price premiums.
One could partially use Black Scholes differential equations however the basic measure is uncertainty
of calculating the value at risk of money. Thus I might investigate Bayan probability theorem to possibly achieve a measure of uncertainty.
