I am also not buying physical Gold mainly due to planning to migrate to the USA next year. When black Friday deals happened I purchased multiple Premium subscription of TradingView for £260.40 per year still have 800+ days left. Best advantages of TradingView is broker integration and the ability to place trades directly from the charts, you can manage trades and move stop loss or profit targets directly from the charts in TradingView IMHO it is the best charting software in the world (I am using Windows Desktop Application for TradingView). You can see all the brokers supported by TradingView in the image below.

TSF members think about the gold price on average every six seconds 🤓

I check the gold price religiously everyday, even at weekends when markets have closed. 🙃
I've book-marked goldprice.org on my mobile devices and PCs ( home and work ) since Q1 2015. 
I remembered gold price dropped below £700 spot when working from home in my sister's house. 
Look where we are now ! 🤑

I check the Gold price in USD 16 times in single day or 80 times week and the same goes for Silver. You would logically think I have a problem or suffering from some kind of addiction..... But I only check because it is part of my role as I am trading these metals and other instruments on the 1 hourly chart. @Kitalon you mentioned gold ETFs/ETC I am using CFD's with AfterPrime as my broker. The spreads are very good $0.013 Gold and $0.006 or Silver leverage 100:1 and round turn commission $3.5 per contract (negotiate with the broker for lower fees) using TradingView as my charting package. I find this to be the most efficient way to speculate on the short term price swings of the metals.

 
My physical stack of Gold that I have already accumulated and will add to I have decided a long time ago will never be sold and passed down to my son when I pass away.
Cautionary warning. I strongly advise anyone against trading on margin on Gold or other financial instruments (FX, Indexes, Crypto, Metals, Energy, Stocks,) unless you have a proven edge in the market place that has been thoroughly back tested (ideally 3 years). You have trading plan backed up with thousands of screenshots and notes collated during the back testing process and have a proven money management / risk management approach and have significantly worked on your emotions and can place margin trades without getting emotionally involved. If you don't have this in place then trading on margin will be fastest way to financial ruin / psychological damage.

all the time, even when i'm asleep..... 

Browse a couple of times a day.
Then a more calculated look (per gram) just before a purchase.

I check it multiple times per day, even if i m not very active on the market and not able to grab good deals as they pop. It s more like “woooot” or “nooooouuuu”

Firstly I'm not a stacker but a collector so I consider it to be a hobby. I will most probably buy coins on an annual basis when the price is right for at least the next 15-20 years. Then if I'm ever strapped for cash in my retirement I can sell a few coins as required.

With prices hitting ATH pretty much every other day, have you thought about a cut off point?
Me personally, I’m still gonna stick with the plan of at least a sovereign or 1/4 oz a month till retirement and then cash out that Sovereign or quarter per month to help out when the pension isn’t enough to cover my planned life style of slow cars and fast women!!

When I started it was twice a day, then I got bored and that changed to be a couple of times a year, but since I joined TSF it's there on the banner, so back a few times a day again.
For me, if I'm looking to hold long term, I would hardly ever bother.

@bobski never checks it. 

Unsure why so many people were bashing Wonger, I really appreciated his insights as I did the exact opposite and back up the truck and completed my collection of 1oz Gold Queens Beasts collection. Thanks Wonger if you ever decide to visit Manchester let me know I will happy to buy you a pint......

I'm in no particular hurry and have scratched an itch. I have learned a lot in the last 6 months. It was fun while it lasted but I can wait. I'm the meantime I'll put my main investments elsewhere. I may buy some more coins when gold drops again or then again I may not. I've discovered that there are a lot of hidden costs and hassle in buying bullion in the form of coins. Even with the CGT exemption factoring in things like postage, grading, premiums, spot price, etc seems to largely cancel out profit, certainly in the short term. Don't get me wrong I don't bemoan gold bullion in this form, it was a very informative experiment on my behalf and it's nice having shiny gold coins to hand. But as someone on here once told me there are much more effective ways of investing, although I maintain that this is a more fun investment and hedge (but only if it doesn't cost more than spot at it's lowest point in the year). Ultimately I'd sooner time the market and back up the truck than incurring losses through DCA. But thats just my opinion not sound financial advice. 😆

You’re going to waiting awhile before you’re buying bullion again🤔🤔

Well I'm just glad I backed up the lorry back in Feb and didn't bother with that DCA idea. 😁
