Gold and silver trading

Discussion in 'Commodity Futures' started by Vortex, Jan 18, 2012.

  1. Forget silver if you can trade gold.

    Gold is the no. 1. High volume trading all the time.

    Nobody needs silver anyways.

    Trade it on Spot or as futures, no difference, price is always the same. LOL.

    Good luck

  3. What what spot ???
    -------------
    Da du Schweizer bist, sag ich einfach mal "Kassamarkt" halt.....
    Was is n daran so schwer zu verstehen, ich dachte du bist Fachmann ???
    -----------
    Spot market, choose a Broker and trade it as CFD with a FX Broker for example.......i think that are all CFDs then, dont know, but i think so.

    If you live in the USA, you trade it as Futures, what else...

    Or if you want you can trade Gold Stocks or ETFs, thats all i know...

  4. I am not Swiss, but thanks for suggesting my expertise.

    The only spot market worth anything is a front month futures contract in the US.

  5. Sorry, nobody is perfect.

    I thought a futures contract and a spot market are too different things. Futures contract will expire someday, but spot market not, like stocks. FX forwards are like Futures, Options are like futures, they all expire.

    But FX Spot not, and Bullions Spot, like XAU against the major currencies, also not. Well it must not be a CFD, its just offered to trade, like the FX Spot, but what else is a FX Spot theoretically as a CFD, if you dont trade the real FX market, you also do not trade the real Gold Spot market.

    So for the little guy the only way to trade the real market is to trade the futures on the CME.

    To trade the real OTC market for FX and Bullions, you must have institutional like access and for that you need a lot of money, and doing privat banking or running a own trading company.

    There is no other way.

    I love swiss chocolate.
    :p :p :p

    True;
    that low bid swiss chocolate is fine & TASTY. But that low bid chocolate is only covered with gold foil, if yoiu read the complete label, they dont even claim its real gold.

    So it loks like IBD was right to buy high/uptyrends ;
    sure it depends on the market. None of this is a prediction;
    buy high can be a real bad move also.

    Yeah, there is about 3x as much volume in /GC vs. /SI but I love the leverage silver provides. $500 a click...nice. And there's plenty of volume if you trade regular hours. If you're looking at holding and/or trading a lot in off hours I would absolutely go with gold.

    Silver has several times the industrial use than gold does.
