It would be easier to follow if you standardized and expressed the 7K as a % move as well.

Trying to understand when you entered GLD.

TLT is slow today.

it looks like a 3700.00 difference from friday the 13th late afternoon to monday morning the 16th on the buy plus a few thousand on the sell on the 13th which was just bought the day before on the 12th . so all together about 6k from the 12th to the 16th but 2 of those days was a weekend , not bad for for clicking my mouse lol .

so i pocketed 6k and have everything back i had prior and that shows up another 8800 right now on the buy on the 16th . so 14,500 in profits in less than 2 weeks total

I sold some PHYS today. I just want to be done with "paper gold". Nice day to sell shares.

Lately I love Gld and Tlt ..... it has been following the script perfectly for my trading system .

I get the buy and sell signal from my ass ,, it pops in my head , I confirm with my wife and I click the mouse . Lol ..it seems to work better than most Wall Street trading systems ...I wish I wasn’t telling you the truth , but that is basically the trading system I have been using for years.

It started as fun trading but I found gold and Tlt to be almost predictable in these short up and down moves ...don’t be surprised if I am back in by next week

Got my first 1% off TLT. That was pretty easy!

Thanks, mathjak, for sharing this simple strategy!

I sold some PHYS today. I just want to be done with "paper gold". Nice day to sell shares.
I’m extremely tempted to do the same. Just put all my digital wealth into a vanguard conservative fund and hold physical gold. The simplicity of such a setup would have incredible appeal.

Also, I saw your signature! I got a ride from a family member on Boxing Day! ✌️
