Previous gold, USD basket and NY sugar trading outcomes
In this week’s “Trading the trend” segment, Axel Rudolph reviews recent trading strategies and outcomes. The strategy of going long on spot gold, which initially traded at $2,333 per troy ounce, saw a profitable rally, advising traders to either cash in a $40 profit or adjust stop losses to protect gains.
The strategy to short the US dollar basket has recently turned profitable, recommending traders adjust their stops for a risk-free position.
The New York sugar trade, re-entered by going short after an initial stop-out, also suggests readjusting to a break-even stop loss due to anticipated further declines.
