A New Signal (corrected)

Our current portfolio:

PORTFOLIO SYMBOL ENTRY CLOSE STOP PROFIT
Long Soymeal SMZ10 267.50 296.40 283.50 $2,890


The soymeal is a futures position, and there are currently no ETFs.

One new signal for tomorrow: sell short Crude Oil. The symbols are CLU10 and OIL. Yes, there is an ETF that is long crude; this signal is to short that ETF. To repeat, this is a computer generated signal based upon historical data with mathematical rules that determine the entry and exit points. It seems to this writer that Crude Oil is already over-sold, but that is only my intuition. The record is 19 wins out of 22 trades for 86%. The entry point on the futures overnight was 75.69 and the stop is 77.56.

Good luck to all!
