A Mixed Day with Upward Bias

We had mixed results today: we were stopped out of Copper and Cotton with losses; however, we were stopped out of Crude Oil with a gain, and our open Euro position soared spectacularly to give us an overall gain. Corn gained as well.

Our open portfolio is:

We have two interesting new signals for tomorrow: buy Lumber and buy the Aussie Dollar.

I don't know of an ETF for Lumber, but the futures symbol is LBH11. The track record is 33 wins out of 45 trades for 73%. I like this trade because I believe in the expansion of worldwide building. If any of you know of a Lumber ETF, please let me know and I'll let the BLOG readers know.

Many of you know that I have multiple signals running on the investments I track. Tonight, I received four separate algorithmically generated signals to buy the Aussie Dollar. We'll only track one of them for the BLOG, but having four is a very good omen. The symbols are ADH11 and FXA. The track record is 35 wins out of 43 trades for 81%. Good luck!
