Even though Gold is highly volatile, there is always a fun trading GOLD as it distributes quick return. How do you predict the market before news?
This is the only way to predict the market before the news. There is no other way other than to react to the market.
No strategy will keep you on the safe side ultimately. But try to follow strict risk management policy while trading gold.
This is just me, and how I play gold. I own stock in an ETF RING. These are major gold miners. I wait for the price to rise quite a bit. I then will do a covered call on the ETF. It also has a 2.23% dividend. You can either do a just out of the money call or a leap (if you feel gold will rise), way out of the money. Basically income flow while you wait and see...
%% An excellent way to do it; even better way , find something better, that pays better . Trend lines help ; i like the curVed trend lines my self . so few markets move much with, unless its a good trend curve+ trend curve..................
During news time, I saw technical analysis fails most of the time and as a result earing profit on average becomes harder for a trader.
%% LOL, then some find something better than gold + newstime. Like Dave Ramsey says , plenty of good funds beat gold, long term. SPY + QQQ does beat gold by a long shot, not even close= + has no storage cost + pays dividends . Earning profits + cutting losses = much better than ''earing profit''
Before any news hit the market, I see the short time frames and candlestick patterns and it gives me an idea where the price can go shortly.
