First Signals for the Blog

Today, 2 new signals were generated by my programs, one to go long gold, and the other to go long silver. Normally, these results would be posted one day in arrears; however, since this is Friday, these entry points are for Monday.

The gold signal had an historical winning ratio of 23/25 or 92%. The average time in the market was 30 market days. There are a plethora of ETFs; IAU is one. The front month futures contract is GCG10.

The silver signal had an historical winning ratio of 50/61 or 82%. The average time in the market was 12 days. There are many ETFs; SLV is one. The front month futures contract is SIH10.

That's all for today. I would very much welcome your comments. What are your preferences for ETFs for gold and silver?
