Just doodling around with this current 4 Hour Chart of the Gold Continuous Contract (/GC), I convinced myself just how easy it is to use the True Strength Index (TSI) indicator to nail every top and bottom in the movement of this gold pararabolic.

Heck, it's easy to trade just about anything well using the True Strength Index indicator.

In hindsight, anyway. (lol)

For my good friend Ron in Arizona - these two charts. First, the gold parabolic of 1977 - 1980. And second, this look at gold from 2000 - present.

It looks to me that once gold reached the mania phase in late 1979, its parabolic phase lasted all of about 6 weeks. In that time frame gold roughly doubled in value ($450 - $950). 30 months later gold lost all of the parabolic move and then some - finally reaching $300. Enjoy!

That's not parabolic in 1980, more like a failed space shuttle launch.
ReplyDeleteJohn, what do you think about this simple method to trade GLD.
ReplyDeleteOn an hourly chart: buy/sell when TSI(13,25) crosses zero.
