Join us to discuss lower-risk speculative opportunities in a market known for high risks. Precious metals trading is a game of mental stability; traders who can manage their emotions will be better equipped to manage their trading decisions. By using creative option strategies, speculators can participate in the gold market with low and limited risk ways to express market opinions in hopes of profits.

For those who prefer the simplicity of trading futures contracts outright, the CME Group futures offer traders micro-sized contracts enabling leveraged speculation with far less risk than the original contract. These smaller contracts enable traders of all sizes to participate in the gold market more comfortably while employing strategies that were previously reserved for large accounts.

Highlights include:

Is gold truly a safe haven and inflation hedge?

Gold is an excellent portfolio diversifier and trading vehicle.

Does it make sense to always be long gold?
Can traders with small accounts trade gold futures?
How to trade option butterflies to create low and limited risk plays in an otherwise expensive and risky market.
