11/22/21 – Selling Into Strength – 20% Profit in NEM Gold Position Trade

Selling into strength is in itself one of the premier strategies in the business of trading. It is not remotely fancy, but it is extremely effective. I almost always sell too early, but I have done very well at this business by selling too early. Very few people can ever learn to do this “correctly”, (there is no perfect way to do this). There are only good/very good psychological/strategic/risk management/defensive aspects to it. Below is discussion of NEM, and selling into strength, taken from a previous post:

Gold hit its all-time high on Aug 7, 2020 at $2075 – I did a good amount of selling at that time. Gold then fell to $1670. As my readers know, I despise people who claim they make money but provide no proof. Below is a position in NEM which I sold at around 8AM in the premarket, that caused all the partial fills to sell the 560 shares, the broker fills are included, along with the original chart plus updated charts.
