Gold: (for the 25% balance in my rec)
Stop raised from $1125 to $1130.
Stop is now $1,156 - parabolic mode now clear as a bell.
Previous parabola by Crude Oil is forgotten, but not by me. Crude went from $147 to $38. Same story for Gold - inevitable.
But I'm only interested in euro/$ and DX. Both these have been going sideways since Oct 26 and DX is refusing to fall further despite more and more experts (now everybody) calling for his death. But almost on this very day, Gold went parabolic.
The parabolic wave is $1026 (same as the date, Oct 26 = 10-26) to $1,177 thus far. Even if there is no reversal, the wave structure is orderly, so there must be a correction of 38.2% to 50% or maybe 61.8%.
Theory suggests triangles occur in the penultimate postion of any wave - therefore trading stop should be at $1,164, the current wave 4 position in the long near vertical parabola from Oct 26(+2)
By my own daily chart method the current daily stop is at $1026, just too damn far away to be significant, but wave theory demands this sort of stance. To correct this deficiency I've gone into 1H, hence the above stops.
Only when/if the move is over will it be possible to review and learn from this stunner.
Already I'm wrong by recommending closing 75% position @ $1090 -1106.
