Grains Rally Strongly Today

All of the grains moved up strongly today. Our soymeal position soared.

Long Zealand BNZ 22.36 23.10 22.71 3.3% 4

Stocks moved contrary to the grains, and our "unofficial" Russell 2000 position was stopped out with a gain.

Long Russell TFU10 624.20 629.00 629.00 $480 3
Long Russell IWM 63.08 63.97 63.97 1.4% 3

Finally, our short Swiss was stopped out before the Swiss Franc soared:

Short Swiss FXF 93.97 94.55 -0.6% 3

Believe it or not, there are no new signals for tomorrow. I believe our computer systems are waiting for a good entry opportunity. Good luck to all!
