A Mirror Image of Yesterday

Yesterday, the currencies fell, and the S&P fell, giving the signals a gain on the short S&P, and losses on the long currencies. Today, they all rose, giving a loss on the short S&P, and a gain on the currencies. The results are shown in the tables below.

There is one new signal for tomorrow, sell short the New Zealand Dollar. This signal is 70 wins out of 77 trades for 91%. This signal can be taken in two ways: it neutralizes the earlier long position, or it is fresher so more valid. For BLOG purposes, we will track both. There is no short ETF for the Zealand, so we'll only track the future. The future is down strongly in overseas trading tonight.

Have a great day!
