Golden Day

We exited short Crude Oil with a small profit on the ETF and the future.

CLOSED OUT SYMBOL ENTRY OUT PROFIT DAYS
Short Crude Oil CLU10 75.75 75.46 $290 1
Short Crude Oil OIL 22.04 21.88 0.7% 4

And our current portfolio is as follows:

PORTFOLIO SYMBOL ENTRY CLOSE STOP PROFIT DAYS
Long Soymeal SMZ10 267.50 296.70 283.50 $2,920 49
Long Gold GCZ10 1216.50 1226.9 1219.7 $1,040 1
Long Gold GLD 119.70 119.73 119.03 0.0% 1
Short Euro ECU10 127.63 128.23 128.23 -$750 1
Short Euro FXE 22.57 22.57 ? 0.0% 1
Long Corn CZ10 425.00 422.75 390 -$113 1

So we had a "Golden Day," as it were. Note that we must exit the Euro on the ETF open tomorrow; we have already exited it on the open of the future overnight.

For tomorrow, buy the Aussie Dollar: symbols ADU10 and FXA. The record is 32 wins out of 38 trades for 84%.

Another signal: buy coffee: symbols KCZ10 and JO. The record is a mere 9 wins out of 10 trades, with very tight stops. Check the BLOG in the morning if you decide to monitor this signal, because it could be short-lived overnight. The coffee futures open at 11:30 pm Pacific Time.

Best of luck!
