Apr 15 2013

GLD Catch of the Day  - 1:10 move off the well-timed bottom. We got 1:4 exit, and GLD proceeded to 133.5 from the 132 bottom call. Look at the chart to track the thinking and eventual call.


This is on top of 4 winning calls on FCX, SLW, CAT and C earlier, with just one stop on second FCX call. To finish the day, added 1:3 short on CAT, 1:2 on FCX... if Friday was one of our best days this year, today is pretty much repeated it.

[10:16] {Les}  if 3 min MACD is upturned with green histos but price doesn't move, my next setup would be to await MACD return to red with price consolidating accordingly at the lows
