GLD is the high volume EFT

that is tracking the gold bullrun which started two weeks ago on July 3rd after

a downtrend for two months starting on May 2nd. This is not a leveraged ETF

as so a bit less volatile than JNUG or GDXU. On the 2H chart, I have added a

VWAP band line setup anchored into the pivot high.

On my analysis:

1. GLD is ascending through VWAP band lines in a VWAP breakout.

2. Volume is steady

3. The Price Volume Trend Oscillator went from a diminishing negative/red histogram
into green on July 5th.

4. On the zero-lag MACD, the lines crossed while under the histogram reversing a descent on July 17th and marking the end of a minor correction of the uptrend then confirmed by those
lines crossing the zero-line the following day.

I conclude that GLD is set up for a long trade. While others might simply take a trade of

stocks I will use call options to take a long position. My target is $190 between the

second and third positive standard deviations of the mean VWAP. I will purchase 50

options contracts for about $37 each expiring August 4th. I will hold all of them until

July 27th and liquidate half of them at the high of day on that Thursday expecting

Friday to be a down day. The remaining 25 contracts will be sold at the rate of

6 contracts per day until the overall position is closed. Overall, I expect to realize

200% in profits over the 12-13 trading days in the trade. I plan for a 15% stop loss and

expect the trade to be above break-even with the first stop loss advance which I expect

will be on Friday.
