Is gold about to provide us with some profit?

  
As we know, it is impossible to foretell the future. To try to get over this we always attempt to have probability on our side.

Now consider where gold is at the moment in terms of US dollars per Troy ounce, on the chart above. It has been trending down, forming lower highs and lower lows, and the 200 Day Simple Moving Average (SMA) is in a decidedly downward slope. Right now it could be at another lower high, so there is at least the possibility that the immediate future path is down.

But here’s the thing: Even if it were to turn out that the downward trend is over and a new uptrend has begun, there is a probability that the immediate future path is ...also down. This is because a new uptrend will be defined by higher highs and higher lows, and for this to happen the following sequence of price action is in prospect:

So in either event there would seem to be a probability that gold will decline from here, at least in the short term. A well structured trade, one that is designed to take a reasonable profit, protect against losses and which allows for the possibility that the downward move will actually continue, could have a higher than normal probability of succeeding. 

The Omicron Forex Silver Trigger Algorithmic trade entry and management system has all of the above requirements built in, and can ensure the high level of discipline that is needed to effect a desirable outcome.

There is also the fact that gold is at a local support level in the daily chart, at 1308.00, and is showing signs of possibly breaking through it to the downside.

As always, of course, probability also means that any given trade can fail. It is the aggregate profit and loss from many high probability trades, over time, that makes for sustained profitability.
