There are new signals tonight. Buy the Aussie Dollar yet again. Same symbols and signal as before, so if the ETF was entered, it is still long!

Buy Copper again. Same symbols as before. This system, with a shallow initial stop, has 104 wins out of 178 trades for 58%. Again, if the ETF was entered, it is still long.

Now for the Biggie. Remember our buy and sell signals for the Russell 2000 this year? They have been pretty good--knock on wood! The same system is giving a buy signal for tonight on the future, and tomorrow on the ETF. No guarantees here! And remember, I am communicating these signals with no charge. "You get what you pay for!" In any event, here are the parameters of this algorithmic approach to investing. Symbols: TFU10 and IWM. The system has 71 wins out of 77 trades for 92%. These are great numbers; however, let's no jinx ourselves..........

See you tomorrow!
