Ever since then, I&#39;ve been anxiously looking for a spot at which to get back into the sector.<\/p>\n<p> \tI like owning gold stocks. I think the sector will be much higher many months from now. And I&#39;m uncomfortable not having any gold positions in my trading portfolio.<\/p>\n<p> \tSelling out two weeks ago was certainly the right call. GDX is down about 8% since then. Now I&#39;m trying to figure out the best spot at which to get back into the sector. Here&#39;s what I&#39;m looking at&hellip;<\/p>\n<p> \tTake a look at this 60-minute chart of GDX&hellip;<\/p>\n<p> \t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/assets.jeffclarktrader.com\/ee-assets\/channels\/articles\/Screen_Shot_2017-09-27_at_08.53.02.png\" style=\"width:100%; margin: 0 auto;\" width=\"550\" \/><\/p>\n<p> \tOver the past two weeks, GDX has been making a series of lower highs and lower lows. During that time, the MACD momentum indicator has also been declining. And, as GDX dropped to lower lows, the MACD indicator hit lower lows as well. This action confirms the downtrend and it usually indicates that any bounce will be temporary.<\/p>\n<p> \tSo, it looks to me like there&#39;s still a bit more room for the gold sector to decline from here. Perhaps GDX will make another lower low and decline to the blue support line on the chart at about &#36;22.70.<\/p>\n<p> \tBut, here&#39;s the good thing&hellip;<\/p>\n<p> \tThe MACD has bounced back high enough now that if GDX makes a lower low soon, then the MACD indicator will likely make a higher low. This &#8220;positive divergence&#8221; often occurs before a meaningful reversal. At the very least, it should lead to a tradable bounce in gold stocks.<\/p>\n<p> \tSince this is a 60-minute chart &ndash; where patterns tend to play out within 3-5 days &ndash; there&#39;s a chance traders may get a shot at buying back into the gold sector later this week, or early next week.<\/p>\n<p> \tBest regards and good trading,<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:20px;\"> \t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/casey-assets.s3.amazonaws.com\/images\/misc\/jeff-clark-signature.png\" style=\"max-width: 150px; width:150px\" width=\"150\" \/><\/div>\n<p> \tJeff Clark<\/p>\n<p> \t<strong>P.S.<\/strong>&nbsp;My gold stock analyses are only a small part of how I provide my <em>Delta Report<\/em> subscribers with huge, overnight gains.<\/p>\n<p> \tRecently, I unveiled my earnings trading algorithm to my readers.

Yesterday, when you made the ORCL put recommendation, I also saw that the puts were trading out of range. However, I simply put a limit order in and my order was filled at &#36;1.58 &ndash; a little less than your buy-up-to price. It&#39;s possible that some folks don&#39;t understand how to place limit orders. By the way, I closed that trade out at &#36;3!<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\"> \t\t<span align=\"right\" style=\"width:100%;display:block;clear:both;float:right;text-align:right\"><strong style=\"width:100%;display:block;clear:both;float:right;text-align:right\"><strong style=\"width: 100%; clear: both; display: inline !important;\">&ndash;<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong style=\"font-size: 17.15px; width: 100%; clear: both; display: inline !important;\"><strong style=\"width: 100%; clear: both; display: inline !important;\"><strong style=\"width: 100%; clear: both; display: inline !important;\">Toby<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote style=\"    padding: 10px 20px;     margin: 0 0 20px;     font-size: 17.15px;     border-left: 5px solid #eee;\">\n<p> \t\tJeff, as you said recently regarding the ORCL put, we should not necessarily wait until we hear from you if the price spikes first thing in the morning. For that trade, the price did spike first thing that morning and I sold the puts that I bought for &#36;1.60 for &#36;3.18.<\/p>\n<p> \t\tIf I could do a trade like that every day, I might be able to retire.

My answer to that situation is simple: I enter a &ldquo;good for the day&rdquo; limit order within your stated price range and then let it go. Almost always the price comes back into range and gets filled sometime that day.<\/p>\n<p> \t\tIf it doesn&rsquo;t get filled that day, I&#39;ll try it again the next. I rarely don&#39;t get filled, and when I do get filled it&#39;s always at my price. If it gets filled, great. If it doesn&#39;t, that trade wasn&#39;t meant to be for me. That&#39;s a rather simple way for me to never overpay or under-receive. It works great. It seems to me that if more of us did that, the price would be less likely to go out of range so soon after your posts. Thank you for all the effort you put into this for all of us.<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\"> \t\t<span align=\"right\" style=\"width:100%;display:block;clear:both;float:right;text-align:right\"><strong style=\"width:100%;display:block;clear:both;float:right;text-align:right\"><strong style=\"width: 100%; clear: both; display: inline !important;\">&ndash;<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong style=\"font-size: 17.15px; width: 100%; clear: both; display: inline !important;\"><strong style=\"width: 100%; clear: both; display: inline !important;\"><strong style=\"width: 100%; clear: both; display: inline !important;\">Rickard<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote style=\"    padding: 10px 20px;     margin: 0 0 20px;     font-size: 17.15px;     border-left: 5px solid #eee;\">\n<p> \t\tYou were clear that the Oracle puts were a very short-term earnings-based trade.
