In the gold market, if we were to finish right here on a closing basis, it would be a record-high close on a weekly continuation chart. When you come to the April gold, you can see what I'm saying. If we come back one more day here, the market finished the $2932.60. Now, we come into the market, and you drop all the way down. What did I say? $2886.50, by the end of the day. You're basically very close to being unchanged in the marketplace, and with recent action, you're even closer.
You've got the higher lows, and higher highs. The market's over the key moving averages of the 18, the 100, and the 200.

Ira began in the futures markets in 1969. Over the years he worked his way up, starting from the ground up as a "floor runner" culminating with his becoming a Floor Trader. In the mid 1970s Ira decided to make a career shift within the industry to develop both retail and commercial based clientele. His customer base grew to the point whereby in 1984 he founded "Ira Epstein & Company", a trading firm specializing in retail, commercial and self-directed discount futures trading. Along the way Ira became a leader in trading technology out of necessity, due to increased small lot trade volume. He was among the first to embrace the Internet, which as you know has dramatically changed both the way information is delivered and how trading takes place today.
One of the ways Ira, along with his brokers showcase their talents is through e-mails of market information and Ira's "Futures Videos", which can be viewed on our website, through Market Center, Linn-IraChart Software and on YouTube.
