Our short S&P gained ground, Cotton lost ground, and our grain positions for futures increased slightly. No position was closed out on Friday. There are no new signals for the next trading day.

Special Note: My systems were short 2 S&P positions. I changed the stop shown in the BLOG to 1046 (see above). The other system's stop was 1088.75.
