If you look at the gold, it's just standing all the way up here. The market's starting off, because remember, now we're looking at gold from the beginning of September. Even though today's the 31st, up a quarter of a point. The market, I wish I could say it's ready to pop away from here. You're still in something of a resistance area. Look at all these spikes to where you're at right now: higher lows, higher highs—bullish. It came down and let you come in against the 18-day average with a trend up, and it took off to the upside from there. And the profit objective on part of it has been the upper Band, and the market is stopping there for a moment.
Momentum-wise, pushing up, but overbought.

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.
