Very close to the Final target of (Tighten the Stop) - On the Options Hedge (pre-protective put). How I handled this trade. I bought a good amount of OTM puts, matched the unrealized profits to purchase the extra GLD @117 on a IRA. Established a 123/128 CCS 1/2 R/R (based on the first post on weekly chart) expiring this week worthless, used all the credit to add more GLD at 117&115. Trade is working its way. Plan a trade with the setup and execute it. This method is good when the trade goes in your favor. When It doesn't, you will be multiplying Risk. The worst would be GLD hitting 118 and bouncing higher(didnt happen) If it did - CCS and Puts made money, Close those positions and be profitable. Multi Leg options, picking the prices to establish the trade, set hidden contingent orders and set alerts and forget it.
Puts Stopped out, as the FOMC hit. That means there is still fear in the General US Stock market. GOLD rally, BONDS rally after FOMC. Tomorrow price action will plot a picture on how the future 4 weeks will be. Lets see...

Counting on a crude and gold rally in case the minutes were negative for the dollar.
Let's see how this affects gold and the stock market (and usdjpy!).
