Yes, I noticed. Gold has been doing well. I am watching your posts since I don’t trade the markets. I think you have a good thing going with your intermediate term trades. Shorter term (days to a week) technical trading was made nearly impossible by market makers who use computers connected to exchanges, front running orders, and stochastic calculus. As a result they win the majority of the trades, and whoever on SI is saying they make money day trading is likely lying. It does depend on the market they trade though. SP500, stock indexes, and the bond market are all super liquid, which means every volatility spike is an opportunity to write expensive options. They win nearly 100% of the time every day. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s math.
