Does it make sense for me to convert some of my euros into gold? Can I do it by somehow trading a spread in the futures markets?
Yes, I think I would be worthwhile. Hopefully it’s not too late in the game, but my guess is that with all the problems in Europe, the uptrend we are seeing will last considerably longer.

Ambush Traders lock in $5700 of profits in the E-Mini S&P 500!
The Ambush trading method is specialised in catching intraday market tops and bottoms in a variety of Futures markets. Including the E-Mini S&P 500 Future (ES) traded at the CME, where Ambush Traders cashed in big time again over the last couple of days!
Ambush day trades on an end-of-day basis so there’s no need to even check the markets during the day.
The E-Mini S&P 500 is the most popular market out there. Everyone follows it and most of you guys probably trade it or at least own some ETFs based on the S&P 500 index. Ambush has always been doing well in this market and so it’s no surprise it has actually just made new all time equity highs.
But this month so far has been really crazy. While a lot of traders lost their shirts on the huge reversal we’ve seen related to the news around the trade war with china, Ambush took the other side of these trades and made over $5700 within a couple of days!
Yes, looking at that chart you’re right, Ambush went short pretty much exactly at the all time high of the S&P 500...
You have to ask yourself if you really can afford to miss out on these trades or at least be aware of the signals.
Now with the new Micro E-mini S&P 500 Index Futures (MES) that just started trading at the CME you can also follow these Ambush trades now with a small account:
Yes it’s just 1/10 the size of the regular E-Mini and this allows you to nicely position size into these trades. This is great news as the E-Mini S&P 500 hasn’t been that “mini” any more lately trading at such high prices.
Whether you’re trading a $10k account or a $100k account, Ambush has the right markets for you to start following the signals.
Again, ask yourself if you really can afford to miss out on these trades or at least be aware of the signals? Now if you’ve been on the other sides of these trades trying to buy the breakouts you maybe should think about switching sides?
With Ambush Signals you can easily follow Ambush, a system specialized in catching intraday market tops and bottoms in the Futures markets!
The most popular and easiest way to follow Ambush is Ambush Signals. It does all the work for you, allows you to customise what markets you want to see and has a position sizing tool implemented to automatically adjust the positions to your risk preferences.
Each day around 6:30 pm NY Time the Signals are available for you on the Dashboard. You can then place your orders and literally walk away until the next market close! To find out more about the details of Ambush and how Ambush Signals works, have a look at the Ambush Signals Website.
Let’s be realistic. Following any System can be tough, especially in the beginning. It simply needs time to build the confidence needed to make it through inevitable drawdowns. So what if you are unlucky and don’t catch a good start right away?
I want you to succeed trading Ambush Signals, so here’s something for you that will strongly increase your odds of success and allow you to easily gain the confidence you’ll need to become a long-term profitable Ambush trader.

Hey Joe! Is there any way I could have used MACD to get in on the huge drop prices made to new lows? See above chart.
Not the way I learned to trade MACD.
I use MACD only when there are swings high and swings low. Typically, I will look for a reversal bar of the price, followed by confirmation of MACD via a cross over. The cross over must take place no later than 3 bars from the swing-high/low reversal bar. I never use MACD to lead a trade. If the cross over happens before prices swing high or low, I ignore the trade. In the situation you presented, there was no real swing high, no real reversal bar, and the drop came due to a bad earnings report. There is no telling what might have happened had there been a good earnings report. Would prices have spiked higher? Who knows?
I do like to use weekly charts with MACD, which you showed above. Below I will mark the places where I would have used MACD to confirm the price action.
Reversal bars must be the highest high or the lowest low at the end of a swing, and the crossover must come within 3 bars of the highest high, or lowest low.
There has been great interest in the markets lately, so there's no reason that you shouldn't take home huge profits, right? Although many traders...read more.

Today all US indices dropped sharply, exceeding mid May lows, even if they recovered part of their intraday losses by the close when buying activity came in: ES -0.86% (close @2780.75), NQ -1.11%, RTY -1.10%, DJT -0.76%, DJX -0.88%. The 2800$ support did not hold for ES.
VIX closed at 17.90, below the 20 “fear level”, but VIX is in a daily uptrend right now (consistent with seasonality).
152 industry groups were down for the day, and only 23 were up.
With the P/C volume ratio reaching 1.26, a bounce could happen.
WDAY’s earnings weighed on software stocks today. Wild move on earnings for GOOSE and ANF, both down more than 25%.
Grains (especially corn, see attached text file) are on potential major cyclical lows. Trade war apart, this should help ADM (-0.10% today), ANDE (+0.70%), BG (+2.35%).
FEYE recovered 4.00% to 14.81 around daily resistance level , nice performance on a down day.
Some of our laggards posted decent gains: HCLP +5.83%, HL +4.76%, HMY +2.55%.
FNKO and BJ retested their daily support levels today.
MOMO jumped 3.44% to daily resistance level.
UA dropped 3.05%, but that was not sufficient to give us a fill for our second entry at 0.35 (fills at 0.30).
ETSY also dropped 4.52% but no entry fill yet (fills at 0.35, 5 cents below our entry price).
SSYS had a wild day but managed to close near its intraday high (-0.41% for the day, close at 22.02, 48 cts below our long call strike). There were fills today at 0.50 for our spread. The mid price of the spread at the close is 0.625, right at 50% of our buying price. We now need a quick recovery, to our long call strike at least, or we will have to take a loss to avoid the maximum loss (which is guaranteed if SSYS stays below our long call strike by expiration).

Hey Joe! What can a trader do with the CCI (Commodity Channel Index)?
Interesting question! Here are couple of things you might want to know about CCI. Believe it or not, it is very similar in concept to Bollinger Bands, which we discussed last week.
Bollinger Bands are showing you how today’s closing price compares with the closing prices of the last X number of days. You see it displayed as a simple moving average, with outer band lines at a distance of 2 standard deviations from the moving average of the closing prices of the last X days. BBs are plotted in the same window pane as are the prices.
CCI, however, is plotted as a single line in a separate pane. You see it as an oscillator with no limit on values within the pane. The CCI line can go up in value theoretically forever, or down in value, theoretically forever. CCI compares today’s typical price to a moving average of typical prices for X number of days’ and its value represents the mean deviation of today’s typical price from the moving average. Typical price can be the high + the low + the open + the close: divided by 4, or as simple as open + close: divided by 2, or any other combination of prices. CCI is typically plotted as an oscillator with the possibility of infinite values, however, once the value of CCI exceeds +100 or -100 it indicates that prices are beginning to trend. All values between +100 and -100 are essentially meaningless for purposes of trend identification. +100 indicates prices are moving up. -100 indicates that prices are trending down.
So, what can you do with it?
I use it to tell me when it seems safe to sell a naked put option. However, I can use it to go long the underlying stock or futures; buy a call option and sell a put option—creating a synthetic long position, or simply to buy a call.
For all the years I’ve used CCI, I set the moving average at 30 bars, which seems to work best for me.
Below is an example of selling a naked put with the help of CCI. Bear in mind that there are a number of other things I look at, which are taught in our course on Instant Income. I don’t just trade because CCI is above +100 or below -100.
On June 15, 2018 CCI moved above +100 to a value of 113.22. I then sold a naked $40 September put. As you can see, by the September option expiration prices were still climbing.

On 10th May 2019, we bought to close KTOS Aug 16 2019 12.5P @ 0.10, after 49 days in the trade.
We never could enter the second half of our position for this trade as KTOS started to show strength ahead of earnings.

Hey Joe! I know you have used Bollinger Bands with options when there is a reversal bar at one of the outer bands. Are there other ways to us it?
First, realize that most people use it as an indicator to locate overbought and oversold market conditions.
Yes! BBs can be used as a short-term trading indicator to determine market conditions and market direction. The idea is to sell when the price reaches above the upper band and to purchase when the market gets below the lower Bollinger Band.
The BBs also work very well for fading trends when the market is range bound and choppy. However, when markets are trending strongly, using the Bollinger Bands for picking tops and bottoms is highly discouraged. Traders who make this mistake can end up paying a huge price.
I’ve found it useful to use BBs to determine if the market is in fact range bound or trending. This helps me when trading options. However, I do change the settings from the standard 20 bar moving average of the close, along with two standard deviations for the outer bands, to a 15 day moving average along with two standard deviations.
To determine a strong up trend you want to see the upper band sloping upwards, with price bars touching or penetrating the upper band.
Notice how the upper band rises and prices are either coming very close, touching or penetrating the upper band.
Below you can see an example of how the BBs catch a strong downtrend. Notice the slope of the lower band and how the prices are moving and collecting at that band. This is a good sign that markets are headed sharply down, you can also see at one point the band is flattening out and market is becoming range bound and flat as well. This is what makes the Bollinger band one of the best short term trading indicators, the ability to analyze market conditions in volatile and flat markets.
Notice that in the beginning part of the GLD chart, and the latter part of the AA char prices are flat and sideways. There you see that the bands are flat and most of the price action is contained inside the bands. The Bollinger Bands do a very good job of identifying market conditions.
There are several ways your trading can benefit from using BBs to determine market direction. If you are trading a breakout or a trend following strategy, you can use this method as a filter to confirm that market is in fact trending strongly either upwards or downwards. If you are trading a flat market strategy or a reversal strategy you can use this method as filter to confirm that the market is in fact flat.
By using the Bollinger Band as a filter to determine market conditions and market direction you will avoid trading trend following strategies during dull flat market conditions and avoid picking tops and bottoms during strong trending market conditions.
Even during a strong bull market, you have to do your homework. Many stocks will go up while the public is interested in trading the markets, but not all stocks are equal. Some will...read more.
Is there anything we can believe when it comes to trading? Is it all lies and fakery?

Chart Scan is not an advisory. I intend it to be a teaching letter. However, in this issue of Chart Scan I want to answer the question above. It’s a question I hear on a regular basis. Following are some things you should consider when thinking about buying gold.
“Monster Gold-Mining Deals Pile Pressure on Those Left Behind.”
The January 14 Bloomberg headline above might not seem like much, but it is really something to think about. Here’s why.
When an industry consolidates, investors can make a lot of money. Consolidation means buyouts—which usually come at a premium… And premiums boost stock prices higher. But that’s not the only reason the above is worthy of your attention. Mergers among mining companies are signaling a shift in the gold market, as well.
Those who know me know that I recommend holding a small percentage (5–10%) of chaos hedges like gold in of your portfolio. These assets provide insurance in times of crisis. But under the right conditions, they can also boost your wealth.
In today’s article, I’ll tell you why 2019 is shaping up to be a year in which holding gold will start to pay off.
Over the past six months, the gold mining industry has seen two megamergers.
In September 2018, A major gold miner bought a competitor for $6 billion. The merger made the major miner the largest gold mining company in the world… But that title won’t last long.
Recently, another major miner announced it would buy a rival miner for $10 billion. If the deal goes through, this latter miner will unseat the former as the world’s biggest gold miner. This wave of consolidation will probably continue.
The two major miners still represent only six or seven percent of global mine supply, so it’s still a very fragmented industry and I think investors are rightfully demanding that there’s a bit more consolidation.
And miners aren’t just merging because the industry is fragmented. They’re merging because it’s also necessary for their survival. That’s why the pressure is on for them to join forces.
I’ve heard the following dozens of times, “Gold Supply is Drying Up!” I decided to look more deeply into that statement to see if this time it might be believable. Here’s what I found:
Over the past seven years, we’ve seen a massive bear market in gold. As you can see in the chart below, gold is down $600 from its peak in September 2011…
Due to lower prices, miners have had to tighten their budgets. And in tough times, one of the first budget items to go is exploration. After all, if gold isn’t profitable, why look for it?
It hasn’t just been gold miners cutting back, either. Metals miners across the board have done so as well.
Capital spending is projected to be less than half of what it was at its peak in 2012. And smaller exploration budgets mean miners are finding fewer new deposits. On top of that, the new deposits aren’t as good as old ones.
In a recent private correspondence, I was told, “Mine grades and life are dwindling.” Since the source of this statement is from a company that does the drilling for exploration teams, I have a strong reason to believe it.
Adding to the supply crunch are production costs. Over the past 15 years, they’ve skyrocketed about 300% for major gold companies.
For example, one of the major miners had an average production cost of $300 per ounce in 2004. Ten years later, it rose to $800. Another major miner’s production costs jumped from $278 per ounce in 2004 to $922 last year.
Lower gold prices combined with higher productions costs mean one thing: dwindling supply. That’s good for gold prices—and gold investors…
An old saying goes like this: “The Cure for Low Prices Is Low Prices.” It’s a common saying amongst commodity investors.
When prices are low, miners aren’t making money. So they stop exploring new mines. The lack of supply creates scarcity. But scarcity eventually pushes prices back up.
That’s why miners are merging. They’re desperate for profits and hoping they can make up for lower profitability by increasing scale. But that’s a short-term solution.
Still, the long-term outlook for gold is positive. As gold becomes scarcer, prices will eventually rebound.
Now, it could take a couple years for this trend to play out. But when it finally does, we’ll see gold rise over 50% and reach new all-time highs.
The key thing, if you are going to use gold as a hedge to protect your assets is to get positioned now, before the move higher.
So, should you buy gold? I can tell you only that it’s what I have done.

On 6th May 2019 we gave our Instant Income Guaranteed subscribers the following trade on Nutrien Ltd. (NTR). Price insurance could be sold as follows:
On 9th May 2019, on a GTC order, we sold to open NTR Jun 21 2019 45P @ 0.45, right ahead of earnings, as NTR retested the March swing low in the 50.50$ area as anticipated.
On 10th May 2019, we bought to close NTR Jun 21 2019 45P @ 0.20 on earnings day, after only one day in the trade, for quick premium compounding
This trade was more aggressive than usual, but NTR was in a weekly uptrend and the retracement stopped at a high probability zone.
Profit: 25$ per option
Margin: 900$
Return on Margin annualized: 1013.89%

This is what the CME says about their new product the Micro E-mini futures for the 4 major US indexes. The S&P 500, the Dow, the Nasdaq and the Russell 2000.
From what I can tell, this new products are really great especially with all the high volatility we see right now in the US indexes.
While it was easy to trade in the indexes with a small account and little risk, it got almost impossible during the last few years. The average amount on a 15 minute bar in the Nasdaq is about $400 to $500 these days which makes it almost impossible to trade these markets with small accounts.
That’s where I see a lot of potential with the Micros which are only 1/10 of the E-minis and a commission of about ½ of what we pay on the E-minis.
Finally you can open a futures account with only $2k and trade the indexes and you do not have to move into the stock market. No! You can trade real futures now with very little money.
By the way, there are not only micros or minis in the indexes now, you can also find them in the Currencies or Gold or trade Mini-Sized products in Crude or even Wheat, Corn or Soybeans.
In my opinion all the Micros and Mini-Sized products in the futures market are a big step forward for the retail trader, especially at the beginning of his or her trading career.
Good trading,

Ambush Traders lock in $5700 of profits in the E-Mini S&P 500!
The Ambush trading method is specialised in catching intraday market tops and bottoms in a variety of Futures markets. Including the E-Mini S&P 500 Future (ES) traded at the CME, where Ambush Traders cashed in big time again over the last couple of days!
Ambush day trades on an end-of-day basis so there’s no need to even check the markets during the day.
The E-Mini S&P 500 is the most popular market out there. Everyone follows it and most of you guys probably trade it or at least own some ETFs based on the S&P 500 index. Ambush has always been doing well in this market and so it’s no surprise it has actually just made new all time equity highs.
But this month so far has been really crazy. While a lot of traders lost their shirts on the huge reversal we’ve seen related to the news around the trade war with china, Ambush took the other side of these trades and made over $5700 within a couple of days!
Yes, looking at that chart you’re right, Ambush went short pretty much exactly at the all time high of the S&P 500...
You have to ask yourself if you really can afford to miss out on these trades or at least be aware of the signals.
Now with the new Micro E-mini S&P 500 Index Futures (MES) that just started trading at the CME you can also follow these Ambush trades now with a small account:
Yes it’s just 1/10 the size of the regular E-Mini and this allows you to nicely position size into these trades. This is great news as the E-Mini S&P 500 hasn’t been that “mini” any more lately trading at such high prices.
Whether you’re trading a $10k account or a $100k account, Ambush has the right markets for you to start following the signals.
Again, ask yourself if you really can afford to miss out on these trades or at least be aware of the signals? Now if you’ve been on the other sides of these trades trying to buy the breakouts you maybe should think about switching sides?
With Ambush Signals you can easily follow Ambush, a system specialized in catching intraday market tops and bottoms in the Futures markets!
The most popular and easiest way to follow Ambush is Ambush Signals. It does all the work for you, allows you to customise what markets you want to see and has a position sizing tool implemented to automatically adjust the positions to your risk preferences.
Each day around 6:30 pm NY Time the Signals are available for you on the Dashboard. You can then place your orders and literally walk away until the next market close! To find out more about the details of Ambush and how Ambush Signals works, have a look at the Ambush Signals Website.
Let’s be realistic. Following any System can be tough, especially in the beginning. It simply needs time to build the confidence needed to make it through inevitable drawdowns. So what if you are unlucky and don’t catch a good start right away?
I want you to succeed trading Ambush Signals, so here’s something for you that will strongly increase your odds of success and allow you to easily gain the confidence you’ll need to become a long-term profitable Ambush trader.
