Thanks, Iso. How soon do they update that Marketpit COT chart? Looks like we're not nearly at an extreme - yet.

Isopatch,

Right you are on the COTs, but it's also true that the POG was $5 higher last Tuesday when the COT was recorded. Looking at the weekly gold chart the uptrend is very clear and would indicate a fall to about $278 where we also find the 200 dma. But heck, we're already halfway there.

Also, add my congrats to George on his excellent timing.

Regards,

vt

Thanks, Iso, we've talked already and simply put I can't trade ST or IT so daily or weekly fluctuations matter Not.
Long physical and would like to get heavier but my last buying was at 271-2, would welcome a dip in HGMCY and GOLD to most recent lows perhaps for 1 or 2 trades but i'm just waay to busy, having to hire more staff to keep up with biz which is good yet at times tiring...(sigh) finally, I can keep the fruits of my labor of love......

A simpleminded COT buy/sell indicator...

I just realized that I had never posted here about my admittedly simpleminded COT buy/sell indicator.

When COT falls to 2/3 of the way to its previous low from its previous high, it's time to sell.
When COT rises half-way from its previous low to its previous high, it's time to buy.

In the last year it gave sell signals on 5/1, 8/14, and 1/15. Buy signals on 7/31 and 10/23. Not too bad for something so simple.
