GLD trade ideas
GLD - Getting There!GLD is groping for a short term bottom here after getting whacked for $6 over the last week. GLD hit its highs almost three full months ago and is down right at 10% from $195 to $175. RSI on almost every time frame except longer term, 3D, 7D and monthly, looks ready to move higher, however, I wouldn't discount a move lower with all the inviting FIB levels going down to $170 or so. Macro back drop looks very favorable for precious metals and election results should bring a relief rally. Miners were up today despite GLD and SLV being down. Watch this area and support levels closely as it should provide a good entry point for the next leg up!

GLD Symmetrical Triangle Break OutGLD LONG
This is by far my favourite play for next week. Saved the best for the last :wink:. It's bee holdings support very well. Currently on a symmetrical triangle waiting for the break out. It rejected the hammer a few times on the daily and forming bullish doji on the Monthly.
Optimal Entry
A break and hold of 179.5 will be bullish, and a break and hold of 178.75 will be bearish. Though I am bullish on it.
PT1 green resistance
PT2 187
SL red support
Contracts
11/20 175/185c bull spread
or
12/4 180/185c bull spread
This will most likely become a hedge for the elections along with VIX. So I will be holding it still near exp unless SL hits. Stay green!
OPENING (IRA): GLD OCT/NOV/DEC 164/168/172 SHORT PUT LADDER... for a 5.69 credit total.
Notes: Amazingly (or not), I have no gold in my retirement account.
Although I feel I'm somewhat late to the game, taking up a position here in an instrument with excellent options liquidity. For smaller accounts, consider SLV, which also has the added benefit of having higher background implied (SLV: 69.4% versus GLD: 26.4%) or one of the miners (GDX, GDXJ).
As with my other acquisitional setups, run to expiry/approaching worthless and if assigned shares, proceed to sell call against.
