GLD trade ideas
OPENING (IRA): GLD OCT/NOV/DEC 164/168/172 SHORT PUT LADDER... for a 5.69 credit total.
Notes: Amazingly (or not), I have no gold in my retirement account.
Although I feel I'm somewhat late to the game, taking up a position here in an instrument with excellent options liquidity. For smaller accounts, consider SLV, which also has the added benefit of having higher background implied (SLV: 69.4% versus GLD: 26.4%) or one of the miners (GDX, GDXJ).
As with my other acquisitional setups, run to expiry/approaching worthless and if assigned shares, proceed to sell call against.

38 days until election, GLD / SPYGLD / SPY has been pretty accurate for TA predicting large moves, bottoms in the market & tops in the market (using traditional support & resistance the bottom was put in to the penny on a resistance line). With this inverse correlation and the forming of a wedge we’re gonna be in for a HUGE move near or after the election, best to get your positions in sooner rather than later.
I’m That is all good luck, like if this interests you.
Long Options Trading: GLD Buy Call $181.5 Exp: 10/09Understanding The trade:
As an options trader my goal is to identify trend change and utilize a breakout strategy to leverage profit off of major trend changes with minimal risk. Even though this contract does not expire till 10/09 I will be looking to take profit by October 6th as the rate of decay factor starts to come into play as the contract approaches expiry. This should correlate nicely with the downward sloping trend that has been resistance since August 17th. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment below and follow. Thank you and trade safe.

[Long] Gold putting in a significant bottom.It's just crazy how bullish on Gold every "smart person" that I read is. Many many smart macro analysts and fund managers are long-term bullish Gold.
And yet here we are, technically oversold in a massive shakeout dip. What a gift.
I think Gold downside is very limited here. This is a great entry for a long term bull market.
GLD back to 170?Target: 170. What I see:
* short term descending triangle
* weak MACD almost going negative
* bearish flag on weekly charts
* DXY seems to have found support; may see a bounce with the recent market selloff into cash.
* needs to hold the ~~ 180 level which also happens to be near the 50 day moving average
looks like it is going to break through on the downside to me.
