Two New Algorithmically-Generated Trades for Tomorrow: Buy the Aussie Dollar and Soymeal. There is also a reinforcing additional signal to buy Platinum (we are already long).
Symbols: ADH11 and FXA. Record: 36 wins out of 56 trades for 64%. Initial Stop: about 1.5% on the ETF, and the future stop is 1.0050.
Symbols: SMK11 and no ETF. Record: 52 wins out of 71 trades for 73%. Initial Stop: 349.8.
A realized loss on the short silver, and a realized gain on the soymeal. In the active portfolio, copper, corn, and platinum gained.

Large Crude Oil Gain; Two Small Losses; Soymeal Surges
Our active portfolio gained today, with Cocoa and Soymeal rising. The New Zealand Dollar short position lost ground.
A plethora of new signals for tomorrow. We will actually fill the ETF portfolio, and put on five new futures positions.
Go LONG Copper. Symbols: HGK11 and JJC. Record: 32 wins out of 38 trades for 84%. Initial Stop: about 1.5%. There is a second signal as well, with a track record which was not as good.
Go LONG Platinum: PLJ11 and PGM. Record: 31 wins out of 36 trades for 86%. Initial Stop: about 1.5%.
Go Short Gold: Symbols: GCJ11 and GLD. Record: 26 wins out of 31 trades for 84%. Initial Stop: about 1.5%. There is also a second signal. I don't need to tell you how scary this signal is. Gold is in a bull market until proven otherwise. However, this signal asserts that Gold is short-term overbought.
Go Short Silver: Symbols: SIK11 and SLV. Record: 13 wins out of 16 trades for 81%. Initial Stop: about 1.0%. There is also a second signal. Silver is also in a bull market until proven otherwise. This signal says that Silver is overbought on a short-term basis.
In a way, the copper and platinum long hedge the short gold and silver. However, these signals could all be wrong (or right). We'll just have to wait and see.........
Go Long Corn: Symbols: CK11 and CORN. Record: 25 wins out of 30 trades for 83%. Initial Stop: about 5.1%. We'll follow the futures signal, but not the ETF, since 5.1% initial stop is beyond our risk tolerance.

Crude and Cocoa Up Again......and 3 New Exciting Signals
The new signals are to sell short: Corn, the NASDAQ, and the New Zealand Dollar. Note, this last trade has nothing to do with the recent earthquake news out of New Zealand. The NASDAQ signal does not "feel" right to me; therefore, having learned from experience that instincts can be wrong.....the signal is probably correct. In any event, always do what you and your investment advisor deem appropriate.
Symbols: NQH11 and QQQ; note that QQQ is a long fund. Record: 54 wins out of 60 trades for 90%. Initial Stop: about 4%. This is an atypically high initial stop for the BLOG.
Symbols: CH11 and CORN; note that CORN is a long fund. Record: 26 wins out of 30 trades for 87%. Initial Stop: about 4%. This is also an atypically high initial stop for the BLOG.
Symbols: NE1H11 and BNZ; note that BNZ is a long fund. Record: 79 wins out of 94 trades for 84%. Initial Stop: about 1.5%.
Symbols: NQH11 and QQQ; note that QQQ is a long fund. Record: 54 wins out of 60 trades for 90%. Initial Stop: about 4%. This is an atypically high initial stop for the BLOG.
Symbols: CH11 and CORN; note that CORN is a long fund. Record: 26 wins out of 30 trades for 87%. Initial Stop: about 4%. This is also an atypically high initial stop for the BLOG.
Symbols: NE1H11 and BNZ; note that BNZ is a long fund. Record: 79 wins out of 94 trades for 84%. Initial Stop: about 1.5%.
All new signals are to sell short: market on open.

Crude Oil Gushes for a Gain on the Day of 6.3%!
Over the weekend, we told you about our signal to buy Crude Oil. We said:
"These algorithmically-generated signals are particularly disconcerting after the recent declines experienced. So, the signals seem counter-intuative from the charts. However, we'll stick with our methodology."
On Sunday afternoon, I was in Bristol Farms and I noticed that April Crude Oil had opened up $.33 per barrel. I was discouraged, thinking that I had bought higher than Friday's close and that this was not a good omen for the trading algorithm. Then Crude moved up $1 per barrel and I was relieved. It kept rallying and correcting, finishing up $5.68 per barrel, or 6.3%. This is a big gain for any investment on a single day. As I sit here this evening, after a wonderful birthday party for a friend, Crude is up another $2 per barrel. I am so glad that I stuck with the numbers, and not my own instincts.
The Crude ETF was not open today, so I am not sure that we will plunge into the ETF. Truly, the signal which initiated the position is based upon futures data, and is not appropriate 24 hours later. So, we won't be following the ETF OIL for this signal. Also, we bought soybeans at the open of 1379, and it is now trading at 1375. The stop is 1349.75.
Finally, we exited the Euro Currency and the Swiss Franc with minor gains. We were hoping for more, but while the metals and energy sectors went through the roof, the currencies fell against the U.S. Dollar for the most part.
There are no new signals for tomorrow. Have a great day!

Buy Crude Oil and Soybeans..............
These algorithmically-generated signals are particularly disconcerting after the recent declines experienced. So, the signals seem counter-intuative from the charts. However, we'll stick with our methodology.
Go LONG Crude Oil: Symbols: CLJ11 and OIL. Record: 31 wins out of 42 trades for 74%. Initial Stop: about 3%.
Go LONG Soybeans: Symbols: SH11 and no ETF. Record: 83 wins out of 103 trades for 81%. Initial Stop: about 2.6%.

Euro Rises Today; 3 New Signals for Tomorrow...........
Go LONG the Swiss Franc: Symbols: SFH11 and SFX. Record: 49 wins out of 61 trades for 80%. Initial Stop: about 1.2%.
Go LONG the Aussie Dollar: Symbols: ADH11 and FXA. Record: 37 wins out of 45 trades for 82%. Initial Stop: about 1.6%.
Go LONG the New Zealand Dollar: Symbols: NE1H11 and BNZ. Record: 19 wins out of 23 trades for 83%. Initial Stop: about 1.9%.
Notice the contagion risk between our existing Euro Position and that of the Swiss Franc. However, also note that our Euro has already "locked in" profits unless there is a market gap in price. Therefore, we will follow the Swiss Franc in the BLOG. In addition, there is a high degree of contagion risk between the Aussie Dollar and the New Zealand Dollar. We will choose the New Zealand Dollar because the algorithm for the Zealand has a much higher expected profit per trade than the Aussie. Note that both systems have great records anyway.
The algorithms are leading us to believe that the U.S. Dollar may again decline in value. Does any reader have a theory as to why this is the case? Please let me know through a comment directly on to the BLOG or by emailing me or tweeting me at the addresses below. My own theory is that the multiple middle-eastern country turmoil will lead the U.S. to spend yet more money that it does not have, increasing the debt, and further devaluing our currency. Again, I welcome other views. Rarely does a currency move for only one reason.

Gold Position is Up Strongly; New Signal to Buy Sliver Tomorrow
Buy Silver: Symbols SIH11 and SLV. Historical Record: 59 wins out of 72 trades for 82% historically.
Gold soars today for a gain of 1.2%. As a result, our ETF portfolio gains ground. We are quite unlucky on Soybeans: the low is 1414 and we are stopped out at 1414.5. A rally follows.
The big gainer in the markets today is Silver, with a 3.4% gain. Our signal is a buy signal in a market that appears to be overbought; therefore, it is a non-intuitive signal. Throw caution to the wind.

No New Signals for Tomorrow; Massive Copper Profits Taken
While there are no new algorithmically-generated signals for tomorrow, two things occurred:
1) We took good profits in Copper as documented below.
2) We started a new position in Gold.
The markets are quiet overseas tonight; of one thing we can be sure: this never persists for very long. See you tomorrow!

Two New Signals for Monday: Buy Gold and Sell Cotton
New Signals:
Go LONG Gold: Symbols: GCJ11 and GLD. Record: 75 wins out of 88 trades for 85%. Initial Stop: about 2.0%.
Go SHORT Cotton: Symbols: CTH11 and BAL. Record: 8 wins out of 11 trades for 72%. Initial Stop: about 2.8%.
I am having trouble justifying the cotton signal. The principles are sound, but the number of trades is small. Also, Cotton has been on a path straight up this year, so it is scary to go short. Nonetheless, I shall probably track it since the algorithm was developed so as to measure an extremely over-bought condition. Likewise, the other signal is saying Gold is over-sold.
See you Monday!

Thursday Sees Some Positions Stopped Out
There are no new signals for tomorrow.
Thursday saw a number of our positions stopped out. On the day, Sugar plummeted almost 10%; however, we still exited with an overall profit. The Canadian Dollar was stopped out, and our new position in Heating Oil. The Canadian gave us a gain, while Heating Oil generated a loss. The Russell ETF exited on the open today, so it is shown again. Overall, it was a down day for the BLOG. We are now down to three ETF positions, so we're ready to take on new signals when they arise.
See you tomorrow!

Signals "Heat Up"
New Signals:
Go LONG Heating Oil: Symbols: HOH11 and UHN. Record: 52 wins out of 80 trades for 65%. Initial Stop: about 1.2%.
Exit Russell ETF Market on Open. Future for Russell 2000 stopped out at 793.90. Note that the stop we listed in yesterday's portfolio was 793.70. The stop was raised intra-day by the algorithm, and that was the low for the day. Therefore, the computer exited us from the Russell 2000 future; thus, the ETF IWM will be exited on the open tomorrow. We show the results for the Russell 2000 below; however, the ETF exit point will be revised tomorrow. Note that the closure of this position allows us to go long Heating Oil.
Heating Oil has been on a rampage to the upside. Therefore, it seems extremely over-bought to me. My instincts tell me I shouldn't be buying Heating Oil at these levels. However, the algorithm tells me otherwise. We'll see. This is one in which I am second-guessing the computer.

Massive Gains Today for the Portfolio; No New Signals for Tomorrow
The Russell 2000 and Copper exploded to the upside today, sending the ETF portfolio soaring. The currencies gained as well. There was lots of action, beginning overnight, and then after some corrections, continuing throughout the trading day. Our gold futures position was up, but unfortunately, is not in the ETF portfolio since it is already maxed out at five positions. The short wheat position actually made money this time, in spite of a long soybeans position also making money. We were stopped out of the wheat with a profit. Overnight, things seem quite calm compared to yesterday. At this writing we are one and one-half hours into the market day; however, we know that anything can happen. See you tomorrow.
