Forex, futures and stocks trading
« on: August 16, 2018, 04:08:21 AM »
After the big drop in the metals, I took a small position in each of the PM's , 1 futures contact long each
Bought Silver @ 14.35
Bought Gold @ 1161
Bought Palladium @835
Bought Platinum @ 757

Using a trailing stop, these can turn to extremely profitable trades with very small risk with a stop.

@ludmila what brokerage do you use to purchase futures, if I may ask?

They all work. See what commission they charge. IIRC Schwab is around $4 RT for e-micro contract.

How far out?
Dec 2018, and platinum Jan 2019. I just closed the Palladium trade 100 oz. @ spot $903 up $57 today, which will give me a good profit to hold the other contracts longer.  The metals have been very volatile, so I am keeping tight stops on the rest.

+1  I use more than 1, Interactive Brokers, Ameritrade and several others are fine, check commissions, minimum balances, charting  etc.

I considered following you but IB doesn't seem to offer CAD.NOK.

I know, not many do, the NOK is not a major pair.  Another way to do it is to buy USD/CAD and sell USD/NOK , a little complex  as you need the same amount.

This morning went long GDX @$17.51, GDXJ @ $26.33, Gold @$1196.15,Silver @ $14.09, Platinum @$787, I passed on Palladium for now.
Ill keep trailing stops, the risk reward is good, this could have been a bottom in the metals, most individual gold stocks are on a buy signal, but I preferred to play it safer by buying GDX and GDXJ since I already went long futures.

Why?
Nothing to do with fundamentals, If we look at fundamentals the USD/NOK should be around @5 , Norway's wealth fund is over 1 trillion $ for this country of 5 million, while for e.g the US and the Euro are in an everlasting and increasing debt, also the Norges Bank is expected to do the first rate hike in many years with more to come, but this is all already reflected in the price. The reason I went long NOK now was pure technical. The trades are in the right direction, with some more significant drops Ill cover half the positions to take profit and hold longer on the remaining half with a break even stop.
