Automated Trading Strategy Review – Gold Futures

Gold Auto Trader

Gold has been VERY range bound over the past week which has been making it quite difficult for the TREND Auto Trader to grab solid trades. Luckily there was a nice down trend at the beginning of the week allowing it bank a nice trade!

Overall the TREND Auto Trader brought in $90 this past week keeping us in the green on a VERY hard week of trading for Gold!

Gold Performance

Gold had a hard time this past week with all of the chop and slop we have been seeing but still managed to bring in some green for us with a profit of $90!

We have our largest winning trade come in at $440 while the largest losing trade was a ways back at only $200. Our average winning trade came in at $240 while the average losing trade was smaller yet again at $130 for a reward vs. risk average of 1.85 and a total profit factor of 1.23!

We are seeing an average of 1.00 trades per day which is fairly typical and because of the chop, the trade average hold time is only 54.0 minutes.

Gold Executions

Gold took a total of 5 trades this past week for a commission total with multiple contracts of $25. We had 2 of the 5 come in as winning trades leaving the other 3 as losers for a total trade accuracy of 40% as well!
