For Monday

We are long the Canadian and Cotton. We are still long the Russell 2000; it was not stopped out intra-day as I had said on Friday. However, most of the ETF followers would most likely still be in; and the position is still valid.

In addition: another new signal to buy the Russell, a new signal to buy the Aussie, and a new signal the buy Coffee.

The new Russell signal will not be formally tracked, since it is a duplication of Friday's signal. Note that its record is 17 wins out of 17 trades for 100% historically. Unlike the currently running Russell signal, this second signal has a deep 5% initial stop, so if it fails, it fails big time. This, in the middle of a traditionally bearish seasonal market, makes it anything from certain (most things aren't!)

The Coffee signal is the first such signal for the BLOG. Be careful on Coffee; it moved up hugely on Friday. Therefore, it may be due for a pullback before it resumes an upward trend. Also, I may pull Sugar from the BLOG as the initial stop is very deep as a percentage of the initial price.

Coffee: 25 wins out of 29 trades historically for 86%. Symbols: KCU10 and JO.
Aussie Dollar: 43 wins out of 58 trades for 74%(revised upward from the previous post); however, very shallow in initial stop. Symbols: ADU10 and FXA.

Best of luck!
