GDX - 60 min sell signal

    Posted by frtaylor on 4th of Apr 2011 at 03:57 pm

    Just thought I'd mention that on my FreeStockCharts.com 60 min GDX chart, the GDX:GLD ratio went on a sell signal around noon today. I'm still holding short from 60.10, and using your chart, Matt, hopefully can make this short trade a profitable one. Don't know that I'll wait around for the mechanical system to signal long though!

    I don't sure where you

    I don't sure where you see that, the GDX/GLD ratio never crossed down on the 60 min chart yesterday, t's been on a positive cross since the 21st and 22nd of Mar

    I have the chart on Tradestation and it doesn't seem to be a sell. How are we defining a sell on this chart? From the slow ma crossing the other ma's or breaking a trendline. I would like to know so I do this correctly.

    Here is my 60 min

    Here is my 60 min GDX chart.  The circled portion shows where the GDX:GLD ratio crossed down.  I, too, took a short at 60.00 and am holding this. 

    FWIW, I find that trading the GDX:GLD ratio in conjunction with the buy/sell signal on the $BPGDX to work well.  For example, if the $BPGDX is on a sell, then I would be inclined to take all shorts on the GDX:GLD ratio and avoid long trades.  When the $BPGDX is long, then I go long the GDX:GLD ratio cross and avoid short trades.


    Of course, there will be whipsaws, but I have found this to be profitable.
