If you followed the simple instruction I put out Thursday night, which flouted a ballistic rally, you got short using a 94.50-point trigger interval when the futures fell to x=4297.60. Thereafter, you would have covered half the position at 4203.10 on the subsequent decline to just beneath that Hidden Pivot midpoint support. The theoretical gain would have been $9450, enough to provide a substantial cushion to help you manage the remaining risk. The fully-corrected target is D=4014.30, which, if achieved, would yield an additional profit of $18,890, for a total gain of $28,340. However, if the bull market in gold is still intact, the futures should bounce to new highs from p=4203.10 rather than continue lower. Alternatively, they could fall to p2=4108.70 before reversing, so you should be alert to this possibility if you are still short. Most immediately, I’ll suggest an ‘impulsive’ stop-loss at 4332.30, just above a minor peak created Friday on the way down. _______ UPDATE (Oct 21, 10:07 p.m.): Gold was overdue for a brutal correction, so no one should have been surprised by this one. My hunch is that it is already over. I posted a 4020.20 retracement target in the chat room this morning when the futures were up around 4200.00. They subsequently dove to a 4021.20 bottom that came within $1.00 (!) of my target. Anyone who used my Hidden Pivot support to get long could have racked up a same-day profit of as much as $11,300 per contract, since the bounce has reached 4133.80 so far. Gold is currently trading for 4130.80, having given up little of the rebound. Let’s see if it has bottomed.

The following, actionable update to last week’s Dec Gold ‘tout’ was published at 1:19 a.m. Friday. It was accessible to paying subscribers and anyone taking a free two-week trial:
UPDATE (Oct 17, 1:19 a.m. EDT): The current upthrust overshot the 4378.40 target flagged above by just 0.3%, so it’s hardly crazy to infer that a top of at least middling importance might be in or very close. You can use a 94.50 trigger interval to get short to test this theory on paper, but trade it only if you were long for at least a $10,000-per-contract piece of the ride up. The 5020.20 target remains in play, but only for subscribers who know 1) how to craft a ‘camo’ entry trigger that risks no more than $1200 on entry; and 2) how to calculate a dynamic trailing stop once you’re aboard.
Rick – nice pick- hope to follow you closer again. duane the bosun.
