Downward Thrust Dominates the Markets

Most stock markets dropped over 3% today in dangerous trading. Our Short S&P position benefited. However, our position in coffee was narrowly stopped out, before coffee had a snapback. I was sad to see the position go; however, we pocketed over 8% on the ETF.

There is no ETF for soymeal.

There is one new signal for tonight: buy the Swiss Franc again. The system is 48 wins out of 61 trades for a win ratio of 79%. Good luck. Note: this signal again goes contrary the short Euro position.

Good luck to all, and mind the caveats below.
