Short Gold Position To Be Exited with EXCITING Developments

On Monday we will be exiting our short Gold position, with profits. We have six new signals for Monday, so we won't be following all of them here in the BLOG. Our portfolio is directly below:

PORTFOLIO SYMBOL ENTRY CLOSE STOP PROFIT DAYS
Short Gold GCZ10 1403.00 1352.30 1363.5 $5,070 9
Short Gold DGZ 15.27 15.93 15.80 4.3% 9
Long Euro ECZ10 136.39 136.69 136.57 $375 1
Long Euro FXE 136.25 136.36 136.24 0.1% 1
Long Platinum PLF11 1668.90 1668.70 1641.90 -$10 1
Long Platinum PTM 19.92 19.79 19.47 -0.7% 1

We suffered a loss last night on our Copper futures and did not enter the ETF:

CLOSED OUT SYMBOL ENTRY OUT PROFIT DAYS
Long Copper HGH11 385.75 379.15 -$1,650 1

For Monday, we got buy signals for all of the following: Aussie Dollar, British Pound, Soybeans, Russell 2000 Stock Index, Gold, and Silver. Since we will have only two ETF positions after exiting short Gold, we will have three ETF slots to fill. The soybeans signal will be tracked here in the BLOG, since it is futures only (there is no ETF). We will not track the British Pound here in the BLOG, since it is normally quite close to the Euro in its behavior.

1) Aussie Dollar: ADZ10 and FXA. 35 wins out of 42 trades for 83%.
2) Russell 2000: TFZ10 and IWM. 74 wins out of 80 trades for 93%! Careful, this system has a 3% initial stop.
3) Silver: SIZ10 and SLV. 18 wins out of 21 trades for 86%.
4) Soybeans: SF11. 74 wins out of 92 trades for 80%.

This is an exciting group of signals. Good luck and have a great weekend.
