My apologies for not checking in with you sooner. On Monday I was occupied with a matter of urgency that precluded me from corresponding with you.
First, there was a futures position that never got to the ETF stage, because it was stopped out overnight. This was the short NASDAQ. The results were as follows:
Closed Portfolio Symbol Entry Out Profit Days
Short NASDAQ NQM10 1821.25 1801.25 400 1
Secondly, there were two signals for today that I never documented because of a matter that needed my attention. Those two positions, buying Gold and buying the British Pound, are shown below:
PORTFOLIO Symbol Entry Close Stop Profit Days
Long Gold GCM10 1192.50 1198.00 1196.10 550 1
Long Gold GLD 117.16 117.36 117.17 0.2% 1
Long British BPM10 144.09 143.88 140.97 -131.25 1
Long British FXB 143.31 143.43 140.53 0.1% 1
I apologize for any inconvenience.
Finally, for tomorrow, we have a signal to buy Platinum. This metal's price has been "beaten up" pretty badly of late. The symbols are: PLN10 and PTM. The record for the system historically is 33 wins out of 56 trades for 59%. This is not a great record for one of my systems. However, this system has a very tight initial stop of only 1.5%. So, the system has either generated a very quick run-up, or a very short-term loss. There are no guarantees in this business of making predictions using statistics. As usual, the normal cavaets apply below.
