Cotton--Up 5%, then down 10% for a net Minus 5%

I AM CURRENTLY TRAVELING. WHILE I EXPECT POSTS WILL GO UP EVERY DAY, I DO NOT KNOW HOW LATE THEY MAY BE DURING THIS PERIOD. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I HAVE RETURNED AND I AM BACK TO "NORMAL." I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY CAUSE.

If you wish to review our feelings about the Cotton position, then just look at yesterday's POST. However, the important thing is that the system got us out of the position at today's open. For the ETF, this was the high of the day:


CLOSED OUT
Long Cotton CTZ10 99.80 118.50 $9,350 9
Long Cotton BAL 50.07 56.47 12.8% 9

Our portfolio has shrunk to virtually nothing. Our Year-to-Date ETF return is slightly over 16%.

PORTFOLIO SYMBOL ENTRY CLOSE STOP PROFIT DAYS
Long Soy Oil BOZ10 40.86 48.02 43.50 $4,296 39
Long Zealand NE1U10 72.90 75.16 73.53 $2,260 31
Long Zealand BNZ 23.36 24.04 23.52 2.9% 31

There are no new signals for tomorrow.
