New Signals for the Gutsy

No one wants to try and catch a falling safe; however, the two new signals attempt to do just that. Buy the Russell: TFM10 and IWM, and buy Heating Oil: HOM10 and UHN. The records are as follows: 49 wins out of 61 trades for 80% for Heating Oil. Note, we will not follow UHN officially, because of its lack of volume. For the Russell 2000 the record is 53 wins out of 77 trades for 69%. Note that this Russell system was responsible for one of our biggest gains this past year.

The two existing positions are shown below, and one more closed position as well.
