Big Profits for Monday

This was a spectaular day for the BLOG. The three positions that remained open soared: Coffee was the big winner up 3.3%, with a trailing stop lock on profits. Both the Russell 2000 and Cotton had over 1% gains each.

The Aussie and Canadian were stopped out for futures gains but small ETF loses. The reason for this was simply timing: the futures markets generally are open 24 hours, whereas the ETFs trade for roughly a third of that time.

There are no new signals for tomorrow.
