Profit for Oil / Gold Trade Turns Higher

On Monday 25 August, I mentioned that Oil / Gold ratio chart looks toppish and has started to move downward. So tap on this downward movement is to sell oil and buy gold. Details here.

I had sold 1 lot of supermini oil at 115.00 and bought 1 lot of gold at 822.63.

Currently oil is trading at 118.89, gold is trading at 839.13.

Profit and Loss:
Shorted 1 lot of supermini oil: (118.89 - 115.00) x 100 = -US$389
Bought 1 lot of gold: (839.13 - 822.63) x 100 = +US$1650
Net profit = 1650 - 389 = US$1263
