When we look at the gold market, it's up another three-quarters of a percentage point, up another $17 for the week. For the daily charts, it's still moving right along – the pattern has been and continues to be higher lows and higher highs. As you can see, you've got that right through here and you're over the 18 [day average], the 200 [day average] in gray, and the 100 [day average] in green.
Notice right here, they all came together and that's when things started moving away..and classic bullish setup to shorter-term average, the 18 over the longer-term 100 average over the 200, just classic like that. So what number are they fighting at on the way up? The Bollinger Band.

Ira began in the futures markets in 1969. Over the years he worked his way up, starting from the ground up as a "floor runner" culminating with his becoming a Floor Trader. In the mid 1970s Ira decided to make a career shift within the industry to develop both retail and commercial based clientele. His customer base grew to the point whereby in 1984 he founded "Ira Epstein & Company", a trading firm specializing in retail, commercial and self-directed discount futures trading. Along the way Ira became a leader in trading technology out of necessity, due to increased small lot trade volume. He was among the first to embrace the Internet, which as you know has dramatically changed both the way information is delivered and how trading takes place today.
One of the ways Ira, along with his brokers showcase their talents is through e-mails of market information and Ira's "Futures Videos", which can be viewed on our website, through Market Center, Linn-IraChart Software and on YouTube.
