Systems tend to work in products and times of high
volatility. With low volatility, systems like the ones in
the premium content section, since they would be very choppy. If
you run the ratio ATR/price (as an estimate of volatility) in gold
futures you will find that it is half of GDX ratio. Also, GDX ratio
is even higher than DGP (2x gold). Therefore if you apply the
system to gold futures you may not get the advantages of the
system.
yes I have made it perfectly clear 1000 times with the MA and
pivot systems.
however the newer proprietary systems will be offered eventually
work fine in any market and volatility does not affect them, they
trade just fine in low volatile times when the Vix is low
