Free gold ETFs offer cost-effective exposure to precious metals through systematic rule-based trading. Set conditions like RSI below 35 on weekly charts or moving average crossovers to enter positions automatically across brokers like Charles Schwab, E*TRADE and Robinhood. Your funds stay secure in your brokerage account while rules execute based on technical indicators and market conditions.
The platform connects to major stock brokers enabling you to trade gold ETFs like GLD, IAU and SGOL through unified rules. Portfolio rebalancing happens automatically when allocation drifts beyond your target percentages. Real-time monitoring ensures your precious metals exposure stays aligned with your investment strategy.
Gold ETFs can experience significant volatility requiring systematic risk controls. Set stop losses at 8% below entry or trailing stops that tighten as positions move in your favor. Position sizing rules prevent overexposure while correlation filters avoid adding to positions when gold moves with broader markets.
Templates for gold ETF strategies
Browse templates specifically designed for precious metals ETFs including momentum breakouts, mean reversion and seasonal patterns. Each template includes pre-configured entry conditions, exit rules and position sizing appropriate for gold's unique characteristics.

Gold ETFs respond well to technical analysis making indicator-based rules particularly effective. Combine RSI, MACD and moving averages to identify optimal entry and exit points. Bollinger Bands help identify overbought and oversold conditions while ATR-based stops adapt to changing volatility in precious metals markets.
Systematic position sizing prevents overexposure to any single precious metals ETF while maintaining desired allocation. Set maximum position sizes as percentage of portfolio or dollar amounts. Correlation analysis ensures you don't inadvertently concentrate risk across similar gold-backed securities.
Test your strategies against historical data before deploying live capital. Backtesting reveals how rules would have performed during different market conditions including the 2008 crisis and 2020 volatility. Optimize parameters and refine entry conditions based on historical performance metrics.

Beyond simple buy and hold, sophisticated rules enable dynamic allocation based on market regime changes. Increase precious metals exposure when real rates turn negative or when dollar weakness accelerates. Volatility targeting adjusts position sizes based on recent price movements ensuring consistent risk exposure across different market environments.
Automated rules can optimize for tax efficiency by harvesting losses systematically and managing holding periods. Schedule rebalancing to minimize short-term capital gains while maintaining target allocations. Tax-loss harvesting rules automatically realize losses to offset gains from other positions.
Spread exposure across multiple precious metals ETFs to reduce single-fund risk while maintaining allocation. Combine physical gold ETFs with mining company ETFs for broader sector exposure. Rules can rotate between different vehicles based on relative performance or market conditions.
Monitor correlations between precious metals ETFs and other portfolio holdings to ensure diversification benefits remain intact. When correlations spike during market stress, rules can adjust allocations or add defensive positions. This approach maintains portfolio balance during volatile periods when traditional diversification breaks down.
Detailed analytics track the performance of your automated strategies including risk-adjusted returns, maximum drawdown and win rates. Compare results against buy-and-hold benchmarks to validate your systematic approach. Regular performance reviews help identify which rules add value and which need refinement.
Begin with simple rules like monthly DCA or basic rebalancing before advancing to complex multi-indicator strategies. Start with small position sizes to gain confidence in automated execution. The platform provides templates and educational resources to help you build effective automation strategies.
