Automated Trading Strategy Review – Gold Futures

Gold Auto Trader

Gold has had a very active week with Quadruple Witching taking place last week. This gave it all the range it needed to bank some seriously nice trades!

Overall we had the FLEX Auto Trader on Gold bring in a solid profit of $1,850 for us on what is typically a VERY difficult week of trading and is normally best avoided.

Gold Performance

Gold brought in a gorgeous profit last week for us of $1,850 wrapping up a very nice week of trading!

We have our largest winning trade coming back at $320 as well as the largest loser at the same of $320. We have our average winning trade back at $276.67 with the average loss still at $320 for a reward vs. risk average slightly lower than we like at .86 but this also gives us a profit factor of a solid 3.89!

We are seeing a bit of an increase in trades taken at 1.57 per day on average but the hold times have stayed quite close to the same at 140.6 minutes.

Gold Executions

Gold had quite a few trades fire off this past week taking a total of 11 trades. This gives us a commission cost of $55 per contract traded.

We had 9 of the 11 come back as winners leaving the other 2 as losses for a trade accuracy of 81.82%! Within the winners, we had 5 of them come back to back consecutively while there weren’t any consecutive losses which allowed us to really stack our profits high!
