Fell 55% from May 2018 to Oct 2019. Back at a new high by May 2023, 3.6 years after the bottom, and +588% from that bottom since.
Holding gold fell furthest over the same years: 45% (bottom in Dec 2015).

How Gold Breakout decides
- Waits for gold prices to go quiet, then for a breakout in the direction of the long-term trend.
- Can profit from rises or falls, because it can buy or sell short.
- A stop-loss follows the price. The trade also closes at a profit target or when momentum fades.
