Natural Gas rose another 2.8% today, bringing the ETF profit to 5.3% in five days. The futures profit ran up to over $2,000. All of our positions gained, with our new Swiss Franc position going straight up in overnight trading.
We have a plethora of new signals, and no place to put them in the ETF portfolio. Our ETF portfolio is limited to 5 positions of 20% each, and is therefore full. The new algorithmically-generated signals all have at least a 70% win-ratio, and meet our profit criteria. Therefore, we will track some if not all of them. We will let you know which.
New Signals:
Go LONG: Aussie Dollar Market On Open. Symbols: ADM11 and FXA. Record: 50 wins out of 68 trades for 74%.
Go LONG: Canadian Dollar Market On Open. Symbols: CDM11 and FXC. Record: 66 wins out of 82 trades for 81%.

Portfolio Zooms Ahead!!!!!
Today saw broad-based gains across the stock, commodity, and currency markets. Our portfolio gained massively. Coffee and Silver were up very strongly. Soybeans rose and our new long position benefited. Corn followed Soybeans up practically all night, then suddenly, Corn reversed and finished much weaker, making our short position profitable. Lumber, also a misfit today, fell the limit, and our short position benefited. Our British Pound was higher as well. We lost money on our new short New Zealand Dollar position. The ETF will exit tomorrow morning.
No new signals for tomorrow. Best of luck!

New Signals (people on the free mailing list were notified earlier):
Go LONG Silver: Market On Open. Symbols: SIK11 and SLV. Record: 62 wins out of 78 trades for 80%. Futures entry price: 43.965 with current stop @ 44.035. Current price at this very moment: 44.260. If futures stopped out overnight, ETF signal will be invalidated.
Go LONG Soybeans: Market On Open. Symbols: SN11 and no ETF. Record: 86 wins out of 109 trades for 79%. Initial Stop: Futures entry price: 1353 with current stop at 1324. Current price at this time: 1360.25.

One New Signal for Tonight........
We got killed today on Crude Oil; the new future position lost $1,570. Most everything else was neutral. One new signal for tomorrow:
Sell Corn Short: Market On Open. Symbols: CN11 and CORN. Record: 30 wins out of 34 trades for 88%. This signal is the complete opposite of our soymeal signal. The same type of algorithm generated it. That's just the math. Future entry price 759.5; stop 796.0.
The Crude future was stopped out overnight.

Cocoa and Coffee Move Up!!!!!!
We had both winners and losers today. Coffee, Cocoa, and the British Pound rose and improved our long positions. Lumber plummeted and improved our short position. However, we had a big loss in our Short Gold. Short the Russell broke even for the futures, and made money on the ETF. Exit Short Corn at break even. Exit Short Heating Oil on Open.
New Signal: Go LONG Silver: Market On Open. Symbols: SIK11 and SLV. Record: 108 wins out of 138 trades for 78%. Entry point: 42.155 with current stop at 42.275.
I hope that all is well with you! Have a profitable Friday.

New Algorithm Added to the BLOG.........
We have added a new algorithmic system to the BLOG that was very profitable for me personally last year, and continues to be very profitable this year. It was actually introduced when we had a signal to buy gold on 4/1/11. All of the algorithms in the BLOG have been statistically back-tested for their win-ratios and their expected profits. However, I always seek a physical interpretation of why the algorithm works. Our methodology is detailed in a separate page of the BLOG entitled "Methodology," and in a separate page entitled "Shortcomings and Limitations."
Physicists and other scientists like to explain why their formulae work, apart from the fact that "they just do." Sometimes, they just happen upon their discoveries, and figure out an explanation later. So it was with one particular algorithm. Though, it worked, for the life of me I couldn't see why. So, I intentionally omitted it from the BLOG when I started it over a year ago. Now that I think I know why it works, I will be including it in the presentations. The BLOG reader will not notice any difference, except hopefully the BLOG's performance will be better.

Coffee ETF Higher; Other Positions Mixed On the Day.........
Our short positions taken yesterday fluctuated wildly on the day, but in the end not much was changed. For tomorrow, we have a Buy Cocoa and Short Corn. Our ETF portfolio is full at five positions, so we will track the Corn and Cocoa in the futures only.
Go LONG Cocoa: Market On Open. Symbols: CCN11. Record: 315 wins out of 388 trades for 81%.
Go SHORT Corn: Market On Open. Symbols: CN11. Record: 29 wins out of 33 trades for 88%.

Profits Taken Today; 3 New Signals for Tomorrow.......
Today we realized gains in the gold futures and the CORN ETF. For tomorrow, we have 3 new signals. My intuition does not care for any of them: I am bullish on gold, energy and the stock market. I am bearish on the U.S. Dollar, until the unlikely event that Congress takes some bullish action.
Having said that, I have three signals that run counter-intuitive. Bear in mind, these signals come purely from mathematical formulae applied to data. They are not based upon any fundamental economic or political developments. They are; however, profitable based upon historical statistics. Here they are:
1) Go SHORT Gold: Market On Open. Symbols: GCM11 and GLD. Record: 27 wins out of 32 trades for 84%. Futures entered at 1454.0 and as I write this, June Gold is trading at 1458.9. Thus, the position is losing money so far. Futures stop: 1473.0. As a corollary to this signal, exit long GLD, market on open.
2) Go SHORT Heating Oil: Market On Open. Symbols: HOK11 and UHN. Record: 11 wins out of 11 trades for 100%. While not statistically credible, a 100% result is compelling. Remember the 8/8 trade that shorted the Euro Currency last year? Heating Oil futures entered at 317.95, and are currently trading at 319.21. Futures stop: 325.34. Right now the market is up, so the short position is losing money.
3) Go SHORT the Russell 2000 Stock Market Index: Market On Open. Symbols: TFM11 and IWM. Record: 53 wins out of 62 trades for 86%. Futures entered at 821.30 and are currently trading at 822.50 overseas. Of course, the real Russell doesn't open until tomorrow morning, but is trading overnight on the Globex. Futures stop: 842.50. Again, this position is losing money for now. The stock market is a leading economic indicator, and for the year 2011, has portended a recovery. If this algorithmic signal is correct, the stock market will have to move against the primary trend. We'll see.
Best of luck to all!

Having said that, I have three signals that run counter-intuitive. Bear in mind, these signals come purely from mathematical formulae applied to data. They are not based upon any fundamental economic or political developments. They are; however, profitable based upon historical statistics. Here they are:
1) Go SHORT Gold: Market On Open. Symbols: GCM11 and GLD. Record: 27 wins out of 32 trades for 84%. Futures entered at 1454.0 and as I write this, June Gold is trading at 1458.9. Thus, the position is losing money so far. Futures stop: 1473.0. As a corollary to this signal, exit long GLD, market on open.
2) Go SHORT Heating Oil: Market On Open. Symbols: HOK11 and UHN. Record: 11 wins out of 11 trades for 100%. While not statistically credible, a 100% result is compelling. Remember the 8/8 trade that shorted the Euro Currency last year? Heating Oil futures entered at 317.95, and are currently trading at 319.21. Futures stop: 325.34. Right now the market is up, so the short position is losing money.
3) Go SHORT the Russell 2000 Stock Market Index: Market On Open. Symbols: TFM11 and IWM. Record: 53 wins out of 62 trades for 86%. Futures entered at 821.30 and are currently trading at 822.50 overseas. Of course, the real Russell doesn't open until tomorrow morning, but is trading overnight on the Globex. Futures stop: 842.50. Again, this position is losing money for now. The stock market is a leading economic indicator, and for the year 2011, has portended a recovery. If this algorithmic signal is correct, the stock market will have to move against the primary trend. We'll see.
Best of luck to all!

Silver Goes Through the Roof........
While we had indicated that our silver signal came to late to be of any use, the ETF gained and the future gained. If you had followed the Copper, the story was the same. The portfolio is doing great. Corn futures were stopped out, but not the ETF.
The porfolio is shown in the Table below. There are no new signals for Monday.
Personally, it was my very best week of the year.

Coffee Is Strong Indeed!!!!!!
Yesterday, I indicated that we had a buy signal on Coffee, and that it was one of my favorites. It did not disappoint! As usual, Coffee opened at 12:30am Pacific Time, and opened on its low for the day. At the close, May Coffee was up 2.9%, which translates into $2,850 per contract in one day. The ETF; however, was essentially unchanged. The reason: Coffee's move took place overnight, before the ETF market opened. The ETF JO gapped higher, and closed near its open. The portfolio is looking good!
I am producing the BLOG later than I would have wished this evening. The computer generated two signals for this evening: buy Copper and buy Silver. As luck would have it, these commodities are already up strongly in overseas trading. Also, we only have room for one more position in the portfolio. The signal with the better record is to buy Copper, while the signal with the better profit-per-trade is silver. I'll present both statistical records here.
Go LONG Silver: Market On Open. Symbols: SIK11 and SLV. Record: 60 wins out of 74 trades for 81%. Open on silver was 39.67, and it is currently trading at 40.005, with a stop at 39.75. This means that the future is up $1,650. Sorry, but "it is what it is," and it looks too late for any BLOG reader to do anything about this signal.
Go LONG Copper: Market On Open. Symbols: HGK11 and JJC. Record: 109 wins out of 126 trades for 87%! Open on Copper was 442.10, and it is currently trading at 446.30, with a stop at 444.50. This means that the future is up $1,050. Again, it looks too late for any BLOG reader to do anything about this signal.
There will be other signals, and other algorithms. One thing is for sure, the market presents us with opportunities around every corner.
The markets are on a wild ride! Congress's lack of action is translated into a decline in the dollar. Market participants vote with their capital, and capital is moving out of the dollar, and into any currency or thing that might be perceived to have more safety or value.

Gold Gains Ground Again.......Portfolio Looking Good!
We are long Gold, the British Pound, and Corn. The portfolio is diversified, and is telling us that the U.S. Dollar is not a good place to be at this time. We exited two positions, Cocoa and Heating Oil, with overall ETF gains and gains on the futures. For tomorrow, an exiting algorithmically-generated to be sure: Go Long Coffee, market on open. This is always a commodity with lots of excitement and volatility to be sure:
Symbols: KCK11 and JO. Record: 40 wins out of 52 trades for 77%. Stops will be published tomorrow morning.
Have a great day!

Gold Explodes Upward for a Huge Gain!!!!!!!!!!!
The BLOG made money today in its Long Gold, British Pound, and Corn positions. Cocoa was relatively unchanged. The markets are showing disapproval of what is being done to our U.S. Dollar.
The numbers below tell the story: we haven't been in many of our positions for a very long time, but the gains are good.
New Signal: Go LONG Heating Oil: Market On Open. Symbols: HOK11 and UHN. Record: 64 wins out of 97 trades for 66%. Initial Stop: about $1200 for futures and about 1% for ETF. This track record, while fairly credible statistically, is not a very good record. I almost didn't pass it along to you.
All the best!

Happy Beautiful Friday Afternoon!
Our signal to buy corn was "right on the money." Unfortunately, corn "gapped-up," so while we still made money, was didn't make as much as we would have hoped. We are still long Gold and the British Pound. In addition, we exited Silver, Market on Open. We had mixed results: the future made a whopping $2,215, while the ETF lost 1.4%.
We have discussed the reasons many times before, but today we will elaborate. Usually, over time, we expect this not to be the case. However, here's why it sometimes happens: The mathematical algorithms have been developed using many years of futures data. The algorithms have also been optimized using a minimal number of independent variables. The majority of the futures markets we trade open at 3:00 pm Pacific Time, and trade until 2:00 pm the next day, for a total of 23 hours, 5 days per week. The ETFs that track the futures begin trading at 6:30 am Pacific Time, and trade until 1:00 pm Pacific Time, for a total of 7.5 hours, 5 days per week. For short-duration trades, the difference in returns can be substantial. The ETFs can return more or less than the futures. However, for long-duration trades, it becomes trivial, that is, the returns of the ETFs and futures converge. If you wish to be notified of new posts, let me know at bassanalytics@live.com.
