One effective gold trading strategy is trend following, focusing on identifying and riding major trends in the gold market. Traders often use technical analysis tools like moving averages, trendlines, and chart patterns to confirm the direction of the trend. Additionally, incorporating fundamental analysis to gauge factors like geopolitical tensions, inflation expectations, and central bank policies can provide further confirmation. Traders aim to enter positions during pullbacks or corrections within the trend, while implementing stop-loss orders to manage risk. This strategy requires patience, discipline, and continuous monitoring of market conditions to capitalize on profitable opportunities in the gold market.
Buy Gold on Fridays and maybe on Monday till the geopolitical shocks subside. There is clearly a shift in distribution of shocks on weekends which skews returns distribution on Friday due to market expectations of those surprises.
If you are good at following economic news and market trends, you can make a hell of a lot of money off of Gold. Be it by scalping, or day trading. I doubt there is any other way that can really bring you a decent profit from this.
