I have been playing with the charts, one here that shows EURUSD, GBPUSD and XAUUSD all on the same chart. Seems to show gold leading the EUR and GBP.

I said nearly same thing last week but I was proved wrong by another member here he was wright as yesterday there was no correlation between Gold and GU especially on small TFS

my logic would be reversed anyway on EU and Gold as if EUR falls people should invest in gold so demand should raise so price as well....but it is not like this as I see

great broker!
i'm using it in demo for option trading! really one of best!
about the chart i totally agree! recently gold is leading the way. this could be due beacuse more sensitive on USD strenghtening/weakening.
infact i'm doing a very deep study in commodities. will post this weekend
The broker is definitely a good'un but the interface takes some getting used to especially one click trades, I seriously damaged my account a couple of times but that is what happens when you can only trade every so often do to work pressures. Hopefully I can build the account to a point where I can stop being a wage slave.

I agree with the sensitivity between gold and the USD. I think though that the correlation between EURUSD and GBPUSD needs to be broken at some stage, as money will flow from the EUR to GBP, USD and gold before the EUR goes down much further.

I will have to spend more time reasearching the correlation between the three, perhaps it is a red herring.

I am not sure that enough will initially invest in gold, I suspect that many will switch to USD or GBP and then only gold when GBP begins to fail if it gets that far.

@red
yes i agree with you. but what i mean is that as we see in that chart, gold moves up or down. then EU GU follows.
gold is very sensitive vs USD and can give a great sign of nearest moves in currencies.

of course, this is true when talking about h1 at least.
not to do in smaller tfs

normally it should work for most investors that could buy gold now nomatter the price...and just pile it and sit on it


''Precious Metals can preserve value through a crisis AND provide liquidity during a crisis:
Silver–“Poor Man’s Gold” but impractical for large sums.
Platinum –The bullion is not as readily available as gold.
Palladium –Somewhat esoteric.
GOLD –Always liquid, widely available, universally accepted, deepest markets, global pricing
Gold – 2,500-year unbroken track record of liquidity and “Safe Haven” performance.
Here is the FRBNY explaining why people own gold:

“For centuries, gold had a profound impact on history, as a symbol and a storehouse of wealth accepted universally around the world.“
“When people are worried about political instability, war or inflation, they often put their savings into gold.”
“Gold functions as a medium of exchange, particularly in areas where currencies are distrusted.”
Why the US government nationalized gold:

The 1933 prohibition against gold ownership “prevented hoarders from profiting after Congress devalued the dollar (in terms of gold)”by 41%.
ACCORDING TO THE NY FED –GOLD IS A “PHENOMENAL ASSET” AND AN “IMPORTANT STORE OF VALUE”
GOLD NATIONALIZATION OF 1933 PRECLUDED THE SAVERS FROM PROTECTING THE VALUE OF THEIR ASSETS
What else does the Fed tell us:

THE FED –WE STORE FOR OTHERS; OUR OWN IS OUTSIDE THE BANKS!
“As of early 2008, the Fed’s vault contained roughly 216 million troy ounces of gold“–“about 22 percent of the world’s official monetary gold reserves.”
“The United States owns approximately 27 percentof the monetary gold”–“262 million troy ounces as of 2007.”
“A majority of [the U.S.] reserves is held <…> at Fort Knox, Kentucky, and West Point, New York. Most of the remainder is at the Denver and Philadelphia Mints and the San Francisco Assay Office.”
WATCH WHAT THEY DO; NOT WHAT THEY SAY:
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT STORES ITS GOLD WITH THE MILITARY, NOT THE BANKS.
APPROXIMATELY 49% OF ALL MONETARY GOLD IS PHYSICALLY LOCATED ON THE U.S. SOIL.''

Good day,

No trade at present. Did well yesterday - took 29 pip loss this morning. Want to long - but will wait. I want them to finish squeezing.

So - probably only Monday entry for me.

All the best
