HFT - High Frequency Trading

nanex.net
zerohedge.com

Great article illustrating HFT action.
Note that 4200 contracts traded in 1/10 of a second.
Since each contract is 100 ounces, that represents 400,200 ounces of gold worth approximately 500 million USD.

Since gold quickly recovered from the $30 drop, my guess is that some gold programs are looking for entry areas to go long on pullbacks.

Also gold positive for the near term
1. Wednesday's correction bottomed above the flash crash low,
2. Friday's high slightly bettered Monday's high,
3. Friday's close was the highest daily close in a month, and
4. Friday's close was the highest weekly close since the end of November

Gold bulls need some follow through gains next week.
