Thread: Gold dumps $48 in 1-minute

  1. #1

    Default Gold dumps $48 in 1-minute

    During Sunday night futures trading, Gold fell $1128 to $1080 in one minute. It has since rebounded and regained about half the loss trading at $1109 about an hour later. It wasn't at the open either. It had been trading a couple of hours already when it puked.

    That's a big move. Something fishy going on?

    It appears it may have been a mini-flash-crash caused by stop-loss automated sell programming.

    The markets were closed in Japan, so there was very little stopping a quick free fall.

    The trigger looks like it was pulled when it hit $1130.

    Looks like when human beings saw the drop, they jumped back in. Now doing better.

    Gold was down a lot Friday. Silver is also down now. I'm thinking this is more than someone pushing the wrong button or a rogue GOLD program. JMHO

    U -

    Did your system have a position in Dust, or did you close flat on Friday?

    Awesome! I hope it holds into the open for you. It looks like it will because it hasn't moved much in the last hour or two.

    I scalped a $7 move from $1103 to $1110 in the futures. That was a nerve wracking 15 minute trade because it was still bouncing around quite a bit at the time.

    Thanks. System actually called for a gap up open with further decline into the close, but with this anomalous price action tonight, anything goes.

    Sweet play! Maybe it'll eventually retrace and you can catch another trip before the days over.

    Maybe China selling gold caused it?
