Stock markets, foreign currencies, metals, energies, foods, etc. collapsed today in the wake of the 6th biggest earthquake in recorded history. Markets anticipated lower earnings for companies, and less demand for hard commodities. The BLOG gained ground as it was short Corn, and short Gold. I was reticent to follow the Gold signal.
New Signals:
Go LONG Natural Gas: Symbols: NGJ11 and we won't follow the ETF because the initial stop is too deep for the BLOG's risk tolerance. Record: 138 wins out of 174 trades for 79%. Initial Stop: 3.733 for futures. Some of these signals are very short-lived, so be careful. We'll try and report during the later part of the evening on the status of this signal.
Go LONG British Pound: Symbols: BPM11 and FXB. Record: 41 wins out of 45 trades for 91%. Initial Stop: 156.12 for futures and about 2.9% for the ETF.
