Gold Auto Trader

Gold has had quite the past week with a TON of volatility coming in and shooting prices higher and lower several times back and forth.

This type of market condition is the proverbial playground for the FLEX Auto Trader and it sure shows when it banks a profit for us of $800 this past week!

Gold Performance

Gold had a great week overall bringing in $800 for us in profits on a very strong week of stats!

We have our largest winning trade coming back at $880 while the largest loss is all the way back down at $160. Along with this, our average trades came back at the same of $880 and $160 winners and losers respectively. This gives us a reward vs. risk average of a whopping 5.50 and a total profit factor of 1.83!

We are seeing an increase in trades taken at 1.14 per day and interestingly enough the hold times have also increased to 205.5 minutes.
