Natural Gas Moves Sharply to Upside...$$$

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%.
