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!
