However, exclusively looking at the historical price movement is usually misleading.
  
Triple exponential smoothing for Gold Futures - also known as the Winters method - is a refinement of the popular double exponential smoothing model with the addition of periodicity (seasonality) component. Simple exponential smoothing technique works best with data where there are no trend or seasonality components to the data. When Gold Futures prices exhibit either an increasing or decreasing trend over time, simple exponential smoothing forecasts tend to lag behind observations. Double exponential smoothing is designed to address this type of data series by taking into account any trend in Gold Futures price movement. However, neither of these exponential smoothing models address any seasonality of Gold Futures.

The most commonly used models for forecasting predictions are the autoregressive models, which specify that Gold Futures' next future price depends linearly on its previous prices and some stochastic term (i.e., imperfectly predictable multiplier).
