How the Model is calculatedGold serves as example to explain how the Long- and Short recommendations are generated.

Our technical analyses are mainly based on TRENDand MOMENTUM. We have found over the yearsthat these two are the most reliable approaches.

The momentum indicator is based on a Rate-of-change calculation. The momentum indicator iseither rising or declining. Thus, if the momentumindicator is rising the model is “1”and green. If themomentum is declining, the model is “0”and red.

For the moving averages we respect the Fibonacciseries and use the 13-day and 21-day movingaverages for the short-term trend, the 34-day and55-day moving averages for the medium-term trendand the 89-day and 144-day moving averages forthe long-term trend. The price is either above orbelow the moving average. Thus, if the price isabove the moving average, the model is “1”andgreen. If the price is below the moving average, themodel is “0”and red.

The short-term trend lasts from 1 to 4 weeks. Themedium-term trend lasts for 3 to 6 months and thelong-term trend lasts for 12 months or longer.

GOLD and its 13-, 21-, 34-, 55-, 89- and 144-day average

Short- (red), medium- (blue) and long-term (black) momentum

Short-term momentum (ST MOM) is accelerating, i.e. themomentum indicator is rising. This is why the model shows a 1 andis green. The price is above the 13-day average (13DAVG). This iswhy the model shows a 1 and is green. The price is above the21-day average. This is why the model shows a 1and is green.

Medium-term momentum(MT MOM) is decelerating, i.e. themomentum indicator is declining.This is why the model shows a0 and is red.The price is above the 34-dayaverage. This is why the modelshows a 1 and is green.The price is above the 55-dayaverage. This is why the modelshows a 1 and is green.

Long-term momentum(LT MOM) is slowing, i.e. themomentum indicator is declining.This is why the model shows a0 and red.The price is above the 89-dayaverage. This is why the modelshows a 1 and is green.The price is above the 144-dayaverage. This is why the modelshows a 1 and is green.

The Short-term Model Score forGold is a maximum of 3. Itranges from 0 (bearish) to 3(bullish).

The Medium-term Model Scorefor Gold is 2. It ranges from0 (bearish) to 3 (bullish).

The Long-term Model Score forGold is 2. It ranges from 0(bearish) to 3 (bullish).

The Composite Model Score ranges from 0 (maximumbearish) to 18 (maximum bullish). The bearish range is redfrom 0 to 7. The bullish range is green from 11 to 18. TheComposite Model Score is not equal to the sum of theshort-term, medium- and long-term scores but the short-term, medium-term and long-term scores are weighteddepending on market volatility.With a Model Score of 15 Gold is bullish (green) and long.
