For several months prior to entering this trade, we had been closely monitoring the price action of SPDR Gold Trust ($GLD), an ETF proxy for the price of spot gold. Specifically, we were expecting $GLD to eventually break down below major horizontal price support around the $150 level. That breakdown finally occurred on April 12, which led to a massive drop of 13% over the course of just two days. But since the April 12 decline was so large, and because we run an end-of-day swing trading service, we were unable to immediately take advantage of selling short the breakdown in $GLD (or buying the breakout in $DZZ). However, we were not really concerned because we knew we would probably get a second chance.
