The recent light volume rallies which have taken place in gold, oil and stocks has been generating mixed signals for technical analysts like myself. In order avoid a large draw down on your trading capital you must focus on the long term intraday charts.<br \/>\n<strong>What is a long term intraday chart you ask?<\/strong> It is simply a 4 or 8 hour candlestick or bar chart. For example the charts below in this report are 4 hour charts. So each candlestick represents 4 hours.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n<strong>Why should you use these long term intraday charts instead of say a daily chart? There are four main reasons for this:<\/strong><br \/>\n1.\u00a0If you used a daily chart then this information would be condensed showing you the daily high, low, open and closing prices. While the 4 hour futures chart shows you large multi intraday chart patterns that most traders would never see&#8230;\u00a0 Patterns not seen by the average investor have a higher probability of working in your favour. Also these patterns are much larger than just normal intraday patterns which you see on the 5, 10, or 60 minute charts. Remember the larger the pattern the more potential profit there will be.<br \/>\n2.\u00a0These longer time frames allow us to follow gold, silver, oil and stock indexes around the clock 24\/7 using futures contracts. Think about it&#8230; regular trading hours from 9:30am \u2013 4pm ET only allows you to see 1\/3rd of the price action each day. That means you are only seeing parts of larger patterns while the 24\/7 contracts show you ALL Price Action.<br \/>\n3.\u00a0The last reason you must use futures charts is for the volume readings. Futures show real volume levels which can be used for trading. So the volume you see on ETFs will not have the proper volume levels for that specific commodity or index. More times than not it almost the opposite&#8230;<br \/>\n4.\u00a0My last reason for trading long term intraday futures charts is because the price of the underlying commodity or index moves true while the ETFs which try to shadow these commodities generate false breakouts and breakdowns on a regular basis. Watch my video about this here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetechnicaltraders.com\/ETF-trading-videos\/TTTOct19Oil\/index.html\">http:\/\/www.thetechnicaltraders.com\/ETF-trading-videos\/TTTOct19Oil\/index.html<\/a><br \/>\nLet\u2019s take a look at the charts&#8230;<br \/>\n<strong>Gold Futures Contract \u2013 240 Minute (4 Hour) Chart<\/strong><br \/>\nGold finally broke down from the bearish rising wedge which it had been forming through late September until mid October. I know the majority of traders, investors, and financial newsletters have already positioned themselves either long or short the metal as they anticipate the next major move.<br \/>\nI will agree that a large move either up or down is just around the corner but what sets me apart from others is the fact that I don\u2019t bet my hard earned money when the odds are 50\/50. I don\u2019t pick tops or bottoms; rather I wait for a clean break out or low risk entry point. Only then will I take action. Until the blue box on the chart has been broken with some type of retest I will continue to observe and analyze the chart of gold.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.silver-investor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Gold.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1107\" title=\"Gold\" src=\"http:\/\/www.silver-investor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Gold.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"645\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Crude Oil Futures Contract \u2013 240 Minute (4 Hour) Chart<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nThe past month crude oil trading has been very profitable for subscribers and me. We shorted crude oil using an inverse etf in September which moved over 20% in our favour within a few trading sessions. And just last week we shorted it again for a 7.5% move in less than 24 hours.<br \/>\nOverall I am still bearish on oil but have moved to cash until I see another high probability setup unfolding. The recent price action in crude oil makes the odds about a 50\/50 bet as to which way it will break next. This is why I have moved back to cash and pocketed the quick gain.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.silver-investor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Oil.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1108\" title=\"Oil\" src=\"http:\/\/www.silver-investor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Oil.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"645\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>SP500 Exchange Traded Fund \u2013 240 Minute (4 Hour) Chart<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nThis chart is not the SP500 futures contract. This is just the SPY ETF but what I wanted to show was how the market was showing mixed signals. The past couple weeks price has been broadening and this can be taken two different ways&#8230;<br \/>\nMore times than not it is seen as a bearish pattern and price generally falls afterwards. But in rare situations which I think we could be experiencing now this broadening price action can be very bullish, meaning much higher prices ahead. So I continue to observe and prepare for a possible trade setup.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.silver-investor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/SPY.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1109\" title=\"SPY\" src=\"http:\/\/www.silver-investor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/SPY.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"643\" height=\"482\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Weekend Gold, Oil and Stocks Trend Conclusion:<br \/>\n<\/strong>In short, I feel the market is on the verge of a strong move. The problem is that price action, market sentiment and economic news are all giving mixed signals&#8230;<br \/>\nThe best position right now is in cash and if something unfolds this week to our favour, then we will get involved but I am not going to take a 50\/50 guess on what the next move is until the odds are in favour to one side or the other.<br \/>\nAugust until now (October 24) the SP500 is down -3.7% and Gold is up 1.1%, Silver is down 20% and oil is down -7.2.
